2017 NISSAN LEAF light

Available views
WARNING
• The distance guide lines and the ve- hicle width lines should be used as a
reference only when the vehicle is on a
paved, level surface. The apparent dis-
tance viewed on the monitor may be
different than the actual distance be-
tween the vehicle and displayed ob-
jects.
• Use the displayed lines and the bird’s eye view as a reference. The lines and
the bird’s-eye view are greatly affected
by the number of occupants, cargo,
fuel level, vehicle position, road condi-
tion and road grade.
• If the tires are replaced with different sized tires, the predicted course lines
and the bird’s-eye view may be dis-
played incorrectly.
• When driving the vehicle up a hill, ob- jects viewed in the monitor are further
than they appear. When driving the ve-
hicle down a hill, objects viewed in the
monitor are closer than they appear. • Objects in the rear view will appear
visually opposite compared to when
viewed in the rear view and outside
mirrors.
• Use the mirrors or actually look to properly judge distances to other ob-
jects.
• On a snow-covered or slippery road, there may be a difference between the
predicted course lines and the actual
course line.
• The vehicle width and predicted course lines are wider than the actual width
and course.
• The displayed lines will appear slightly off to the right, because the rearview
camera is not installed in the rear cen-
ter of the vehicle.
Front and rear view:
Guiding lines that indicate the approximate ve-
hicle width and distance to objects with refer-
ence to the vehicle body lines
Aare displayed
on the monitor.
Distance guide lines:
Indicate distances from the vehicle body:
• Red line
1: approximately 1.5 ft (0.5 m)
• Yellow lines
2: approximately 3 ft (1 m)
• Green lines
3: approximately 7 ft (2 m)
• Green lines
4: approximately 10 ft (3 m)

Vehicle width guide lines5:
Indicate the approximate vehicle width when
backing up.
Predicted course lines
6:
Indicate the predicted course when operating the
vehicle. The predicted course lines will be dis-
played on the monitor when the steering wheel is
turned. The predicted course lines will move de-
pending on how much the steering wheel is
turned and will not be displayed while the steer-
ing wheel is in the straight-ahead position. The
front view will not be displayed when the vehicle
speed is above 6 mph (10 km/h) .
NOTE:
When the monitor displays the front
view and the steering wheel turns
about 90 degrees or less from the
straight-ahead position, both the right
and left predicted course lines
6are
displayed. When the steering wheel
turns about 90 degrees or more, a line
is displayed only on the opposite side
of the turn.
Birds-eye view:
The bird’s-eye view shows the overhead view of
the vehicle, which helps confirm the vehicle posi-
tion and the predicted course to a parking space.
The vehicle icon
1shows the position of the
vehicle. Note that the apparent distance between
objects viewed in the bird’s-eye view may differ
somewhat from the actual distance to the vehicle.
The areas that the cameras cannot covers
2are
indicated in black. The non-viewable areas
2is
highlighted in yellow for several seconds after the
bird’s-eye view is displayed. It will be shown only
the first time after the power switch is placed in
the ON position.

• Do not strike the cameras. They areprecision instruments. Doing so could
cause a malfunction or cause damage
resulting in a fire or an electric shock.
There are some areas where the system will not
show objects and the system does not warn of
moving objects. When in the front or rear view
display, an object below the bumper or on the
ground may not be viewed
1. When in the
bird’s-eye view, a tall object near the seam
2of
the camera viewing areas will not appear in the
monitor.
The following are operating limitations and do not
represent a system malfunction:
• There may be a delay when switching between views.
• When the temperature is extremely high or low, the screen may not display objects clearly.
• When strong light directly shines on the cam- era, objects may not be displayed clearly.
• The screen may flicker under fluorescent light.
• The colors of objects on the Around View® Monitor may differ somewhat from the actual
color of objects. • Objects on the Around View® Monitor may not
be clear and the color of the object may differ in
a dark environment.
• There may be differences in sharpness between each camera view of the bird’s-eye view.
• Do not use wax on the camera lens. Wipe off any wax with a clean cloth that has been damp-
ened with a diluted mild cleaning agent, then
wipe with a dry cloth.
System temporarily unavailable
When the “!” icon is displayed on the screen,
there are abnormal conditions in the Around
View® Monitor. This will not hinder normal driving
operation but the system should be inspected. It
is recommended that you visit a NISSAN certified
LEAF dealer for this service.

SIDE VENTS
Open/close the vents by moving the control to
either direction.
: This symbol indicates that the vents are
closed. Moving the side control to this direction
will close the vents.
: This symbol indicates that the vents are
open. Moving the side control to this direction will
open the vents. Adjust the air flow direction of the vents by mov-
ing the vent slide (up/down, left/right) until the
desired position is achieved.
WARNING
• The air conditioning cooling function operates only when the power switch
is in the ON position or when the
READY to drive indicator light is ON.
• Do not leave children or adults who would normally require the assistance
of others alone in your vehicle. Pets
should also not be left alone. They
could accidentally injure themselves or
others through inadvertent operation
of the vehicle. Also, on hot, sunny days,
temperatures in a closed vehicle could
quickly become high enough to causes
severe or possibly fatal injuries to
people or animals.
• Do not use the recirculation mode for long periods as it may cause the inte-
rior air to become stale and the win-
dows to fog up.

NOTE:
•Odors from inside and outside the vehicle
can build up in the air conditioner unit.
Odor can enter the passenger compart-
ment through the vents.
• When parking, set the heater or air condi-
tioner controls to turn off air recirculation
to allow fresh air into the passenger com-
partment. This should help reduce odors
inside the vehicle. The climate control system (air conditioner and
heater functions) can be operated when the
READY to drive indicator light is illuminated.
However, while charging, the climate control sys-
tem can be used when the power switch is in the
ON position.
The fan, heater and air conditioning can be turned
on manually, using the timer function and using
the remote climate control function.
These functions operate in the following condi-
tions.

*1: The climate control system will only start when charging is being performed. After charging is complete, it will continue to operate if the EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment)
is connected.
*2: The EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) must be connected.
*3: Models with navigation system.
NOTE:
• A series of operation sounds may be
heard immediately after climate control
ON/OFF operation. This is not a malfunc-
tion.
• Compressor and motor fan may suddenly
start to operate during charging opera-
tion. This is not a malfunction. •
Condensation forms inside the air condi-
tioning unit when the air conditioner is
running, and is safely discharged under-
neath your vehicle. Traces of water on the
ground are therefore normal. Water may
drop underneath the vehicle when climate
control is operating.

DISPLAYING CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM
STATUS SCREEN (MODELS WITH NAVIGA-
TION SYSTEM)
Press the STATUS button to display the climate
control system status on the navigation system
screen. For additional information, please refer to
the separate LEAF Navigation System Owner’s
Manual.
NOTE:
•If the READY to drive indicator light is illumi-
nated and the EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply
Equipment) is connected to the vehicle, the
power switch will change to the ON position.
At the same time, the climate control system
will stop operating. However, the fan will
continue to operate. If you want to turn on
climate control again, place the power switch
in the OFF position and then place it in the
ON position again after confirming that the
vehicle has started charging.
•When the power switch is in the ON posi-
tion, if the power supply from the EVSE
(Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) is inter-
rupted due to an electrical outage, etc., the
system will operate in the following ways.
– If it occurs while charging is being per- formed:– The climate control system will stop
once. If the power supply is restored
within approximately 5 minutes, the
climate control system will restart.
However, if more than 5 minutes
have elapsed, the climate control
system will not restart.
– If it occurs after charging has finished: –The climate control system will stop.
OPERATING TIPS
• The automatic climate control is equipped with
sensors as illustrated. The sensors
AandB
help maintain a constant temperature. Do not
put anything on or around these sensors.
• Power consumption of the climate control sys- tem varies depending on the outside tempera-
ture and the temperature set for the climate
control system. Power consumption increases if
the interior temperature is cooled down too
much in summer or if it warmed up too much in
winter. This will result in a reduced driving
range.
