DRINKING ALCOHOL/DRUGS AND
DRIVING
WARNING
Never drive under the influence of al-
cohol or drugs. Alcohol in the blood-
stream reduces coordination, delays
reaction time and impairs judgement. Driving af ter drinking alcohol in-
creases the likelihood of being in-
volved in an accident injuring yourself
and others. Additionally, if you are in-
jured in an accident, alcohol can in-
crease the severity of the injury.
NISSAN is committed to safe driving. How-
ever, you must choose not to drive under
the influence of alcohol. Every year thou-
sands of people are injured or killed in
alcohol-related accidents. Although the lo-
cal laws vary on what is considered to be
legally intoxicated, the fact is that alcohol
affects all people differently and most
people underestimate the effects of alco-
hol.
Remember, drinking and driving don’t mix!
That is true for drugs, too (over-the-
counter, prescription, and illegal drugs).
Do not drive if your ability to operate your
vehicle is impaired by alcohol, drugs, or
some other physical condition.
WARNING
• Do not operate the power switch while driving the vehicle except in an
emergency. (The EV system shuts
down when the power switch is
pushed three consecutive times or
the power switch is pushed and held
for more than 2 seconds.) If the EV
system stops while the vehicle is be-
ing driven, this could lead to a crash
and serious injury.
• When turning off the power switch, make sure to shif t the shif t lever to
the P (Park) position even if the ve-
hicle is maintaining a stop and hold
using the e-pedal. This will prevent
the vehicle from moving or rolling
unexpectedly, which could result in
serious personal injury or property
damage.
Before operating the power switch, make
sure the vehicle is in the P (Park) position.

– On roads where there are sharp curves.
–
On roads where there are sharply
contrasting objects, such as shad-
ows, snow, water, wheel ruts, seams
or lines remaining af ter road re-
pairs. (The LDW system could detect
these items as lane markers.)
– On roads where the traveling lane merges or separates.
– When the vehicle’s traveling direc- tion does not align with the lane
marker. –
When traveling close to the vehicle
in front of you, which obstructs the
lane camera unit detection range.
– When rain, snow, dirt or an object
adheres to the windshield in front
of the lane camera unit.
– When the headlights are not bright due to dirt on the lens or if
the aiming is not adjusted prop-
erly.
– When strong light enters the lane camera unit (for example, the light
directly shines on the front of the
vehicle at sunrise or sunset).
– When a sudden change in bright- ness occurs (for example, when
the vehicle enters or exits a tunnel
or under a bridge).

I-LI SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limita-
tions for the I-LI system. Failure to fol-
low the warnings and instructions for
proper use of the I-LI system could re-
sult in serious injury or death.
• The I-LI system may activate if you change lanes without first activat-
ing your turn signal or, for example,
if a construction zone directs traffic
to cross an existing lane marker. If
this occurs you may need to apply
corrective steering to complete your
lane change.
• Because the I-LI may not activate under the road, weather, and lane
marker conditions described in this
section, it may not activate every
time your vehicle begins to leave its
lane and you will need to apply cor-
rective steering.
• When the I-LI system is operating, avoid excessive or sudden steering
maneuvers. Otherwise, you could
lose control of the vehicle. • The I-LI system will not operate at
speeds below approximately
37 mph (60 km/h) or if it cannot de-
tect lane markers.
• Do not use the I-LI system under the following conditions as it may not
function properly:
– During bad weather (rain, fog,snow, etc.).
– When driving on slippery roads, such as on ice or snow.
– When driving on winding or un- even roads.
– When there is a lane closure due to road repairs.
– When driving in a makeshif t or temporary lane.
– When driving on roads where the lane width is too narrow.
– When driving without normal tire conditions (for example, tire wear,
low tire pressure, installation of
spare tire, tire chains, nonstan-
dard wheels).
– When the vehicle is equipped with nonoriginal brake parts or sus-
pension parts.
– When you are towing a trailer or other vehicle. – On roads where there are multiple
parallel lane markers; lane mark-
ers that are faded or not painted
clearly; yellow painted lane mark-
ers; non-standard lane markers;
or lane markers covered with wa-
ter, dirt, snow, etc.
– On roads where discontinued lane markers are still detectable.
– On roads where there are sharp curves.
– On roads where there are sharply contrasting objects, such as shad-
ows, snow, water, wheel ruts,
seams or lines remaining af ter
road repairs. (The I-LI system
could detect these items as lane
markers.)
– On roads where the traveling lane merges or separates.
– When the vehicle’s traveling direc- tion does not align with the lane
marker.
– When traveling close to the ve- hicle in front of you, which ob-
structs the lane camera unit de-
tection range.
– When rain, snow or dirt adheres to the windshield in front of the lane
camera unit.
5-34Starting and driving

–When the headlights are not bright
due to dirt on the lens or if the aim-
ing is not adjusted properly.
– When strong light enters the lanecamera unit (for example, the light
directly shines on the front of the
vehicle at sunrise or sunset).
– When a sudden change in bright- ness occurs (for example, when
the vehicle enters or exits a tunnel
or under a bridge).
While the I-LI system is operating, you may
hear a sound of brake operation. This is
normal and indicates that the I-LI system is
operating properly.
SYSTEM TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE
Condition A:
The warning and assist functions of the I-LI
system are not designed to work under the
following conditions:
•
When you operate the lane change signal
and change the traveling lanes in the direc-
tion of the signal. (The I-LI system will be
deactivated for approximately 2 seconds
af ter the lane change signal is turned off.)
• When the vehicle speed lowers to less than approximately 37 mph (60 km/h). Af ter the above conditions have finished
and the necessary operating conditions
are satisfied, the warning and assist func-
tions will resume.
Condition B:
The assist function of the I-LI system is not
designed to work under the following con-
ditions (warning is still functional):
• When the brake pedal is depressed.
• When the steering wheel is turned as far
as necessary for the vehicle to change
lanes.
• When the vehicle is accelerated during I-LI system operation.
• When the Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) approach warning occurs.
• When the hazard warning flashers are operated.
• When driving on a curve at high speed.
Af ter the above conditions have finished
and the necessary operating conditions
are satisfied, the I-LI system application of
the brakes will resume. Condition C:
If the following messages appear in the
vehicle information display, a chime will
sound and the I-LI system will be turned off
automatically.
• “Not Available - Poor Road Conditions”:
When the Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC)
system (except Traction Control System
[TCS] function) or ABS operates.
• “Currently not available”: When the VDC system is turned off.
Action to take:
When the above conditions no longer exist,
turn off the I-LI system. Push the ProPILOT
Assist switch to turn the I-LI system back on.
Temporary disabled status at high tem-
perature:
If the vehicle is parked in direct sunlight
under high temperature conditions (over
approximately 104°F [40°C]) and then the
I-LI system is turned on, the I-LI system
may be deactivated automatically and the
following message will appear on the ve-
hicle information display: “Unavailable: High
Cabin Temperature.” When the interior
temperature is reduced, the system will re-
sume operating automatically.

occurs, you will have to manually control
the vehicle speed.
Normally when controlling the distance to
a vehicle ahead, this system automatically
accelerates or decelerates your vehicle ac-
cording to the speed of the vehicle ahead.
Depress the accelerator to properly accel-
erate your vehicle when acceleration is
required for a lane change. Depress the
brake pedal when deceleration is required
to maintain a safe distance to the vehicle
ahead due to its sudden braking or if a
vehicle cuts in. Always stay alert when
using the ICC system.
VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE DISTANCE
CONTROL MODE SWITCHES
The system is operated by the ICC switch
and four control switches, all mounted on
the steering wheel.
1.CANCEL switch:
Deactivates the system without erasing
the set speed.
2. RES+ switch:
Resumes set speed or increases speed
incrementally. 3.
SET- switch:
Sets desired cruise speed or reduces
speed incrementally.
4. DISTANCE switch:
Changes the vehicle’s following dis-
tance:
• Long
• Middle
• Short
5. ICC switch:
Master switch to activate the system.
Starting and driving5-61

NOTE:
The approach warning chime may sound
and the system display may blink when
the ICC sensor detects objects on the
side of the vehicle or on the side of the
road. This may cause the ICC system to
decelerate or accelerate the vehicle. The
ICC sensor may detect these objects
when the vehicle is driven on winding
roads, narrow roads, hilly roads, or when
entering or exiting a curve. In these
cases you will have to manually control
the proper distance ahead of your
vehicle.
Also, the sensor sensitivity can be af-
fected by vehicle operation (steering
maneuver or driving position in the lane)
or traffic or vehicle condition (for ex-
ample, if a vehicle is being driven with
some damage).Acceleration when passing
When the ICC system is engaged above
43 mph and following a slower vehicle (be-
low ICC set speed), and the turn signal is
activated to the lef t, the ICC system will
automatically start to accelerate the ve-
hicle to help initiate passing on the lef t and
will begin to reduce the distance to the
vehicle directly ahead. Only the lef t side
turn signal operates this feature. As the
driver steers the vehicle and moves into
the passing lane, if no vehicle is detected
ahead the ICC system will continue to ac-
celerate to the ICC system set speed. If an-
other vehicle is detected ahead, then the
vehicle will accelerate up to the following
speed of that vehicle. If the vehicle is not
steered into the lef t lane to pass, the accel-
eration will stop af ter a short time and re-
gain the set following distance. Accelera-
tion can be stopped at any point by
depressing the brake pedal or the CANCEL
switch on the steering wheel.WARNING
In order to reduce the risk of a collision
that may result in serious injury or
death, please be aware of the follow-
ing:
• This function is only activated with the lef t turn signal and will briefly
accelerate the vehicle even if a lane
change is not initiated. This can in-
clude non-passing situations such
as lef t side exits.
• Ensure that when passing another vehicle, the adjacent lane is clear be-
fore initiating the pass. Sudden
changes in traffic may occur while
passing.
– Always manually steer or brake asneeded
– Never solely rely on the system
Starting and driving5-67

• 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.

To change to a faster cruising speed:
• Push and hold the RES+ switch. The set vehicle speed increases by approximately
5 mph (5 km/h).
• Push, then quickly release, the RES+ switch. Each time you do this, the set
speed increases by approximately 1 mph
(1 km/h). To change to a slower cruising speed:
• Push and hold the SET- switch. The set
vehicle speed decreases by approxi-
mately 5 mph (5 km/h).
• Push, then quickly release, the SET- switch. Each time you do this, the set speed de-
creases by approximately 1 mph (1 km/h).
How to momentarily accelerate or
decelerate
• Depress the accelerator pedal when ac-celeration is required. Release the accel-
erator pedal to resume the previously set
vehicle speed.
• Depress the brake pedal when decelera- tion is required. Control by the ProPILOT
Assist system is canceled. Push the RES+
switch to resume the previously set ve-
hicle speed.
