2019 NISSAN LEAF warning

–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.

SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
If the I-LI system malfunctions, it will cancel
automatically. The I-LI system warning light
(orange) will illuminate in the display.
If the I-LI system warning light (orange) illu-
minates in the display, pull off the road to a
safe location and stop the vehicle. Turn the
EV system off and restart the EV system. If
the I-LI system warning light (orange) con-
tinues to illuminate, have the I-LI system
checked. It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN certified LEAF dealer for this ser-
vice.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The lane camera unit1for the I-LI system
is located above the inside mirror. To keep
the proper operation of the I-LI system and
prevent a system malfunction, be sure to
observe the following:
• Always keep the windshield clean.
• Do not attach a sticker (including trans- parent material) or install an accessory
near the camera unit. • Do not place reflective materials, such as
white 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 BSW
system could result in serious injury or
death.
• The BSW system is not a replace- ment for proper driving procedures
and is not designed to prevent con-
tact with vehicles or objects. When
changing lanes, always use the side
and rear mirrors and turn and look in
the direction your vehicle will move
to ensure it is safe to change lanes.
Never rely solely on the BSW system.
The BSW system helps alert the driver of
other vehicles in adjacent lanes when
changing lanes. The BSW system uses radar sensors
1
installed near the rear bumper to detect
other vehicles in an adjacent lane.
The radar sensors can detect vehicles on
either side of your vehicle within the detec-
tion zone shown as illustrated. This detec-
tion zone starts from the outside mirror of
your vehicle and extends approximately
10 f t (3.0 m) behind the rear bumper, and
approximately 10 f t (3.0 m) sideways. Detection zone

HOW TO ENABLE/DISABLE THE
BSW SYSTEM
Perform the following steps to enable or
disable the BSW system:
1. Press the
button until “Settings” dis-
plays in the vehicle information display.
Use the
button to select “Driver As-
sistance.” Then press the OK button.
2. Select “Blind Spot” and press the OK button.
3. Select “Blind Spot Warning” and use the OK button to turn the system on or off.
NOTE:
When enabling/disabling the system,
the system will retain current settings
even if the EV system is restarted.

BSW SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limita-
tions for the BSW system. Failure to op-
erate the vehicle in accordance with
these system limitations could result
in serious injury or death.
• The BSW system cannot detect all vehicles under all conditions.
• The radar sensors may not be able to detect and activate BSW when
certain objects are present such as:
– Pedestrian, bicycles, animals.
– Vehicles such as motorcycles, lowheight vehicles, or high ground
clearance vehicles.
– Oncoming vehicles.
– Vehicles remaining in the detec- tion zone when you accelerate
from a stop.
– A vehicle merging into an adja- cent lane at a speed approxi-
mately the same as your vehicle.
– A vehicle approaching rapidly from behind.
– A vehicle which your vehicle over- takes rapidly. – A vehicle that passes through the
detection zone quickly.
– When overtaking several vehicles in a row, the vehicles af ter the first
vehicle may not be detected if
they are traveling close together.
• The radar sensor’s detection zone is designed based on a standard lane
width. When driving in a wider lane,
the radar sensors may not detect
vehicles in an adjacent lane. When
driving in a narrow lane, the radar
sensors may detect vehicles driving
two lanes away.
• The radar sensors are designed to ignore most stationary objects;
however, objects such as guardrails,
walls, foliage and parked vehicles
may occasionally be detected. This
is a normal operation condition.
• The following conditions may re- duce the ability of the radar to de-
tect other vehicles:
– Severe weather
– Road spray
– Ice/frost/dirt/snow build-up onthe vehicle • Do not attach stickers (including
transparent material), install acces-
sories or apply additional paint near
the radar sensors. These conditions
may reduce the ability of the radar to
detect other vehicles.
• Excessive noise (for example, audio system volume, open vehicle win-
dow) will interfere with the chime
sound, and it may not be heard.
