2019 NISSAN LEAF warning

Automatic cancellation
A chime sounds under the following condi-
tions and the control is automatically can-
celed:
• When the vehicle ahead is not detectedand your vehicle is traveling below the
speed of 15 mph (24 km/h)
• When the system judges the vehicle is at a standstill
• When the shif t lever is not in the D (Drive) position or B mode
• When the parking brake system is applied
• When the VDC system is turned off
• When ABS or VDC operates
• When distance measurement becomes impaired due to adhesion of dirt or ob-
struction to the sensor
• When a wheel slips
• When the radar signal is temporarily interrupted
VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE DISTANCE
CONTROL MODE LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limita-
tions for the ICC system. Failure to op-
erate the vehicle in accordance with
these system limitations could result
in serious injury or death.
• The ICC system is primarily intended for use on straight, dry, open roads
with light traffic. It is not advisable to
use the ICC system in city traffic or
congested areas.
• The ICC system will not adapt auto- matically to road conditions. This
system should be used in evenly
flowing traffic. Do not use the sys-
tem on roads with sharp curves, or
on icy roads, in heavy rain or in fog. • As there is a performance limit to the
distance control function, never rely
solely on the ICC system. This sys-
tem does not correct careless, inat-
tentive or absentminded driving, or
overcome poor visibility in rain, fog,
or other bad weather. Decelerate the
vehicle speed by depressing the
brake pedal, depending on the dis-
tance to the vehicle ahead and the
surrounding circumstances in order
to maintain a safe distance between
vehicles.
• If the vehicle ahead comes to a stop, the vehicle decelerates to a stand-
still within the limitations of the sys-
tem. The system will cancel once it
judges that the vehicle has come to
a standstill and sound a warning
chime. To prevent the vehicle from
moving, the driver must depress the
brake pedal.
5-68Starting and driving

• Always pay attention to the opera-tion of the vehicle and be ready to
manually control the proper follow-
ing distance. The ICC system may
not be able to maintain the selected
distance between vehicles (follow-
ing distance) or selected vehicle
speed under some circumstances.
• The system may not detect the ve- hicle in front of you in certain road or
weather conditions. To avoid acci-
dents, never use the ICC system un-
der the following conditions:
– On roads where the traffic is heavyor there are sharp curves
– On slippery road surfaces such as on ice or snow, etc.
– During bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.)
– When rain, snow or dirt adhere to the bumper around the distance
sensor – On steep downhill roads (the ve-
hicle may go beyond the set ve-
hicle speed and frequent braking
may result in overheating the
brakes)
– On repeated uphill and downhill roads
– When traffic conditions make it difficult to keep a proper distance
between vehicles because of fre-
quent acceleration or decelera-
tion
– Interference by other radar sources.
• Do not use the ICC system if you are towing a trailer. The system may not
detect a vehicle ahead.
• In some road or traffic conditions, a vehicle or object can unexpectedly
come into the sensor detection zone
and cause automatic braking. Al-
ways stay alert and avoid using the
ICC system where not recom-
mended in this warning section. The radar sensor will not detect the follow-
ing objects:
• Stationary and slow moving vehicles
• Pedestrians or objects in the roadway
• Oncoming vehicles in the same lane
• Motorcycles traveling offset in the travel
lane
The sensor generally detects the signals
returned from the vehicle ahead. Therefore,
if the sensor cannot detect the reflection
from the vehicle ahead, the ICC system
may not maintain the selected distance.
The following are some conditions in which
the sensor cannot properly detect a ve-
hicle ahead and the system may not oper-
ate properly:
• When snow or road spray from traveling vehicles reduces the sensor’s detection.
• When your vehicle is towing a trailer, etc.
• When excessively heavy baggage is loaded in the rear seat or the cargo area of
your vehicle.
Starting and driving5-69

Action to take
When the conditions listed above are no
longer present, turn the system off using
the ICC switch. Turn the ICC system back on
to use the system.
Condition B
• When the radar sensor area of the frontbumper is covered with dirt or is ob-
structed, the ICC system will automatically
be canceled.
The chime will sound and the “Not Avail-
able: Front Radar Blocked” warning mes-
sage will appear in the vehicle information
display. Action to take
If the warning message appears, stop the
vehicle in a safe place, place the shif t lever
in the P (Park) position, and turn the EV
system off. When the radar signal is tempo-
rarily interrupted, clean the sensor area of
the front bumper and restart the EV sys-
tem. If the “Not Available: Front Radar
Blocked” warning message continues to
be displayed, have the system checked. It is
recommended that you visit a NISSAN cer-
tified LEAF dealer for this service.• When driving on roads with limited road
structures or bridges (for example, long
bridges, deserts, snowfields, driving next
to long walls), the system may illuminate
the system warning light (orange) and
display the “Not Available: Front Radar
Blocked” message.
Action to take
When the above driving conditions no lon-
ger exist, turn the system back on.
Condition C
When the ICC system is not operating
properly, a chime sounds and the ICC sys-
tem warning light (orange) will come on.
Starting and driving5-73

Action to take
If the warning light comes on, park the ve-
hicle in a safe place. Turn the EV system off,
restart the EV system, resume driving and
set the ICC system again.
If it is not possible to set the system or
the indicator stays on, it may indicate
that the system is malfunctioning. Al-
though the vehicle is still drivable under
normal conditions, have the vehicle
checked. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer for
this service.SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The sensor for the ICC systemAis located
on the front of the vehicle.
To keep the ICC system operating properly,
be sure to observe the following:
• Always keep the sensor area clean.
• Do not strike or damage the areas around the sensor.
• Do not attach a sticker (including trans- parent material) or install an accessory
near the sensor. This could cause failure or
malfunction. • Do not attach metallic objects near the
sensor area (brush guard, etc.). This could
cause failure or malfunction.
• Do not alter, remove, or paint the front bumper. Before customizing or restoring
the front bumper, it is recommended that
you visit a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer.

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.
