When restarting the vehicle:
• Af ter the vehicle comes to a stop by thee-Pedal system function, the vehicle re-
mains at a stop as long as the accelerator
pedal is released.
• The vehicle’s brake lights remain illumi- nated when the vehicle is stopped by the
e-Pedal system.
• Depress the accelerator pedal to start the vehicle again from a stop.
When the vehicle needs to be stopped for a
certain period of time, place the vehicle in
the P (Park) position and apply the parking
brake.
CAUTION
When the e-Pedal system is turned off,
remember to depress the brake pedal
firmly to prevent the vehicle from mov-
ing with the shif t lever in any position
other than P (Park). When backing up the vehicle:
• With the shif t lever in the R (Reverse)
position, operating the accelerator pedal
adjusts the vehicle speed (acceleration,
deceleration, or stopping) in the same way
as the D (Drive) position.
Other driving tips for the e-Pedal
system:
• For smooth deceleration when the e-Pedal system is activated, it is recom-
mended that you adjust the accelerator
pedal by either depressing or returning,
not releasing, the pedal.
• Moving the shif t lever from D (Drive) to B mode or from B mode to D (Drive) does
not affect the e-Pedal system feature.
• The e-Pedal system does not function un- der the following conditions: – When the vehicle is placed in the P(Park) or N (Neutral) position
– When cruise control (if so equipped), ProPILOT Assist (if so equipped), or
Automatic Emergency Braking (if so
equipped) operates
E-PEDAL SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limita-
tions for the e-Pedal system. Failure to
operate the vehicle in accordance with
these system limitations could result
in serious injury or death.
• If the “Press brake pedal to prevent rolling” warning message appears in
the vehicle information display, de-
press the brake pedal. The vehicle
may start moving.
• If the deceleration force provided by the e-Pedal system is not sufficient,
depress the brake pedal.
• If the vehicle starts to move while it is stopped by the e-Pedal system,
depress the brake pedal immedi-
ately.
• Under the following conditions, place the vehicle in the P (Park) posi-
tion and make sure the parking
brake is securely applied. The ve-
hicle may start moving suddenly.
– When getting in and out of the ve-hicle
– When loading and unloading the vehicle
5-24Starting and driving

• Do not place reflective materials, such aswhite paper or a mirror, on the instrument
panel. The reflection of sunlight may ad-
versely affect the camera unit’s capability
of detecting the lane markers.
• Do not strike or damage the areas around the camera unit. Do not touch the camera
lens or remove the screw located on the
camera unit. If the camera unit is dam-
aged due to an accident, it is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN certified
LEAF dealer.
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use of the I-LI
system could result in serious injury or
death.
• The I-LI system will not steer the ve- hicle or prevent loss of control. 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. • The I-LI system is primarily intended
for use on well-developed freeways
or highways. It may not detect the
lane markers in certain road,
weather, or driving conditions.
The I-LI system must be turned on with the
ProPILOT Assist switch on the steering
wheel every time the power switch is
placed in the ON position.
The I-LI system will operate when the ve-
hicle is driven at speeds of approximately
37 mph (60 km/h) and above, and only
when the lane markings are clearly visible
on the road.
The I-LI system warns the driver when the
vehicle has lef t the center of the traveling
lane with an indicator in the vehicle infor-
mation display and a steering vibration.
The system helps assist the driver to return
the vehicle to the center of the traveling
lane by applying the brakes to the lef t or
right wheels individually (for a short period
of time).
The I-LI system monitors the lane markers
on the traveling lane using the camera unit
Alocated above the inside mirror.
INTELLIGENT LANE INTERVENTION
(I-LI) (IF SO EQUIPPED)
Starting and driving5-31

I-LI SYSTEM OPERATION
The I-LI system operates above approxi-
mately 37 mph (60 km/h). When the vehicle
approaches either the lef t or the right side
of the traveling lane, the steering wheel will
vibrate and the I-LI indicator (orange) in the
vehicle information display will blink to alert
the driver. Then, the I-LI system will auto-
matically apply the brakes for a short
period of time to help assist the driver to
return the vehicle to the center of the trav-
eling lane.
To turn on the I-LI system, push the Pro-
PILOT Assist switch on the steering wheel.
Push the ProPILOT Assist switch again to
turn off the I-LI system.

HOW TO ENABLE/DISABLE THE I-LI
SYSTEM
Perform the following steps to enable or
disable the I-LI system:
1. Press the
button until “Settings” dis-
plays in the vehicle information display.
Use the
button to select “Driver
Assistance.” Then press the OK button.
2. Select “Lane” and press the OK button.
3. Select “Lane Departure Prevention” and press the OK button.
4. Push the ProPILOT Assist switch to turn the system on or off.
NOTE:
When Lane Departure Prevention is
checked in the settings menu, turning
the ProPILOT Assist system on will acti-
vate the Intelligent Lane Intervention
(I-LI) system at the same time. If Lane
Departure Prevention is not checked in
the settings menu, I-LI will automatically
activate when ProPILOT Assist is “SET”.
For additional information, refer to “In-
telligent Lane Intervention (I-LI)” in this
section.

–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.

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use of the ICC
system could result in serious injury or
death.
• The ICC system is only an aid to as- sist the driver and is not a collision
warning or avoidance device. It is the
driver’s responsibility to stay alert,
drive safely, and be in control of the
vehicle at all times.
• Always observe posted speed limits and do not set the speed over them.
• Always drive carefully and atten- tively when using the ICC system.
Read and understand the Owner’s
Manual thoroughly before using the
ICC system. To avoid serious injury or
death, do not rely on the system to
prevent accidents or to control the
vehicle’s speed in emergency situa-
tions. Do not use the ICC system ex-
cept in appropriate road and traffic
conditions.

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.
