• When the shif t lever is not in the D (Drive)or B mode
• When the parking brake is applied
• When the VDC operates (including the traction control system)
• When a wheel slips
When the system is not operating properly,
the chime sounds and the color of the
cruise indicator will change to orange.
Action to take
If the color of the cruise indicator changes
to orange, stop the vehicle in a safe place
and place the shif t lever in the P (Park) po-
sition. Turn the EV system off, restart the EV
system, resume driving, and then perform
the setting again.
If it is not possible to set or the indicator
stays on, it may indicate that the system
is malfunctioning. Although the vehicle
is still drivable under normal conditions,
have the vehicle checked. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN certified
LEAF dealer for this service.
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use of the Pro-
PILOT Assist system could result in
serious injury or death.
• ProPILOT Assist is not a self-driving system. Within the limits of its capa-
bilities, as described in this manual,
it helps the driver with certain driv-
ing activities.
• The ProPILOT Assist system is not a replacement for proper driving pro-
cedures and is not designed to cor-
rect careless, inattentive or absent-
minded driving. ProPILOT Assist will
not always steer the vehicle to keep
it in the lane. The ProPILOT Assist
system is not designed to prevent
loss of control. It is the driver’s re-
sponsibility to stay alert, drive
safely, keep the vehicle in the travel-
ing lane, and be in control of the
vehicle at all times. • There are limitations to the ProPILOT
Assist system capability. The Pro-
PILOT Assist system does not func-
tion in all driving, traffic, weather,
and road conditions. It is the driver’s
responsibility to stay alert, drive
safely, keep the vehicle in the travel-
ing lane, and be in control of the
vehicle at all times.
• The ProPILOT Assist system is only an aid to assist the driver and is not a
collision warning or avoidance de-
vice.
• The ProPILOT Assist system is for highway use only and is not in-
tended for city driving. Failure to ap-
ply the brake or steer the vehicle
when necessary may result in a seri-
ous accident.
• Always observe posted speed limits and do not set the speed over them.
• Never take your hands off the steer- ing wheel when driving. Always keep
your hands on the steering wheel
and drive your vehicle safely.
• Never unfasten your safety belt when using ProPILOT Assist. Doing
so automatically cancels the Pro-
PILOT Assist system.

trol mode.
•Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode: The ICC system maintains a se-
lected distance from the vehicle in front
of you within the speed range of 0 to
90 mph (0 to 144 km/h) up to the set
speed. The set speed can be selected
by the driver between 20 to 90 mph
(32 to 144 km/h). When the vehicle
ahead slows to a stop, your vehicle
gradually decelerates to a standstill.
When the vehicle is stopped, the ICC
system maintains braking force to keep
your vehicle stopped.

5-86Starting and driving

Vehicle detected ahead
When a vehicle is detected in the lane
ahead, the ICC system decelerates the ve-
hicle by controlling the throttle and apply-
ing the brakes to match the speed of a
slower vehicle ahead. The ICC system then
controls the vehicle speed based on the
speed of the vehicle ahead to maintain the
driver selected distance.
NOTE:
•The stop lights of the vehicle come on
when braking is performed by the ICC
system.
• When the brake is applied by the sys-
tem, a noise may be heard. This is not a
malfunction.
When the ICC system detects a vehicle
ahead, the vehicle ahead detection indica-
tor and the speed control status indicator
(distance control mode) illuminates (solid
green
).
Vehicle ahead stops
When the vehicle ahead decelerates to
stop, your vehicle decelerates to a stand-
still. Once your vehicle stops, the ICC sys-
tem automatically applies the brakes to
keep the vehicle stopped. When your ve-
hicle is at a standstill, the “(RES+) Press to
start” message is displayed on the vehicle
information display.
NOTE:
When your vehicle stops for less than
3 seconds, your vehicle will automati-
cally follow the vehicle as it acceler-
ates from a stop.
Vehicle ahead accelerates
When your vehicle is stopped and the ve-
hicle ahead begins to accelerate, push the
RES+ switch or lightly depress the accelera-
tor pedal. The ICC system starts to follow
the vehicle ahead.
Vehicle ahead not detected
When a vehicle is no longer detected
ahead, the ICC system gradually acceler-
ates your vehicle to resume the previously
set vehicle speed. The ICC system then
maintains the set speed.
When a vehicle is no longer detected, the
vehicle ahead detection indicator turns off
and the speed control status indicator
(maintain speed control mode) illuminates
(green outline
).
The ICC system gradually accelerates to
the set speed, but you can depress the
accelerator pedal to quickly accelerate.
When a vehicle is no longer detected and
your vehicle is traveling under approxi-
mately 15 mph (24 km/h), the ICC system
automatically cancels.

STEERING ASSIST
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use of the Steer-
ing Assist could result in serious injury
or death.
• The Steering Assist is not a replace- ment for proper driving procedures
and is not designed to correct care-
less, inattentive or absent-minded
driving. The Steering Assist will not
always steer the vehicle to keep it in
the lane. It is not designed to prevent
loss of control. It is the driver’s re-
sponsibility to stay alert, drive
safely, keep the vehicle in the travel-
ing lane, and be in control of the ve-
hicle at all times.
• As there is a performance limit to the Steering Assist’s capability, never
rely solely on the system. The Steer-
ing Assist does not function in all
driving, traffic, weather, and road
conditions. Always drive safely, pay
attention to the operation of the ve-
hicle, and manually control your ve-
hicle appropriately. • The Steering Assist is intended for
use on well-developed freeways or
highways with gentle (moderate)
curves. To avoid risk of an accident,
do not use this system on local or
non-highway roads.
• The Steering Assist only steers the vehicle to maintain its position in the
center of a lane. The vehicle will not
steer to avoid objects in the road in
front of the vehicle or to avoid a ve-
hicle moving into your lane.
• It is the driver’s responsibility to stay alert, drive safely, keep the vehicle in
the traveling lane, and be in control
of the vehicle at all times. Never take
your hands off the steering wheel
when driving. Always keep your
hands on the steering wheel and
drive your vehicle safely.
• Always drive carefully and atten- tively when using the Steering As-
sist. Read and understand the Own-
er’s Manual thoroughly before using
the Steering Assist. To avoid serious
injury or death, do not rely on the
system to prevent accidents or to
control the vehicle’s speed in emer-
gency situations. Do not use the
Steering Assist except in appropri-
ate road and traffic conditions.
Steering Assist operation
The Steering Assist controls the steering
system to help keep your vehicle near the
center of the lane when driving. The Steer-
ing Assist is combined with the Intelligent
Cruise Control (ICC) system. For additional
information, refer to “Intelligent Cruise Con-
trol (ICC) (with ProPILOT Assist)” in this sec-
tion.
The Steering Assist can be activated when
the following conditions are met:
• The ICC system is activated.
• Lane markers on both sides are clearly
detected.
• A vehicle ahead is detected (when the ve- hicle is driven at speeds under 37 mph
[60 km/h]).
• The driver grips the steering wheel.
• The vehicle is driven at the center of the lane.
• The turn signals are not operated.
• The windshield wiper is not operated in the high (HI) speed operation (the steering
assist function is disabled af ter the wiper
operates for approximately 10 seconds).
