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
ICC system 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.
5-96Starting and driving

– When a sudden change in bright-ness occurs (for example, when
the vehicle enters or exits a tunnel
or is under a bridge)
– When driving on roads where the traveling lane merges or sepa-
rates or where there are tempo-
rary lane markers because of road
construction
– When there is a lane closure due to road repairs
–
When driving on a bumpy road sur-
face,suchasanunevendirtroad
– When driving on sharp curves or winding roads
– When driving on repeated uphill and downhill roads
• Do not use the Steering Assist under the following conditions because
the system will not operate properly:
–
When driving with a tire that is not
within normal tire conditions (for
example, tire wear, abnormal tire
pressure, installation of a spare tire,
tire chains, nonstandard wheels)
– When the vehicle is equipped withnon-original brake or suspension
parts – When an object such as a sticker
or cargo obstructs the camera
– When excessively heavy baggage is loaded in the rear seat or lug-
gage area of your vehicle
– When the vehicle load capacity is exceeded
– When towing a trailer or other ve- hicle
• Excessive noise will interfere with the warning chime sound, and the
beep may not be heard.
• For the ProPILOT Assist system to operate properly, the windshield in
front of the camera must be clean.
Replace worn wiper blades. The cor-
rect size wiper blades must be used
to help make sure the windshield is
kept clean. Only use Genuine NISSAN
wiper blades, or equivalent wiper
blades, that are specifically de-
signed for use on your vehicle model
and model year. It is recommended
that you visit a NISSAN certified LEAF
dealer for the correct parts for your
vehicle.
Steering Assist temporary
standby
Automatic standby due to driving opera-
tion:
When the driver activates the turn signal,
the Steering Assist is temporarily placed in
a standby mode. (The Steering Assist re-
starts automatically when the operating
conditions are met again.)
Automatic standby:
In the following cases, a warning message
is displayed along with the chime, and the
Steering Assist is placed in a temporary
standby mode. (The Steering Assist re-
starts automatically when the operating
conditions are met again.)
• When lane markers on both sides are no
longer detected
• When a vehicle ahead is no longer de- tected under approximately 37 mph
(60 km/h)

AEB WITH PEDESTRIAN
DETECTION SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limita-
tions for the AEB with Pedestrian De-
tection system. Failure to operate the
vehicle in accordance with these sys-
tem limitations could result in serious
injury or death.
• The AEB with Pedestrian Detection system cannot detect all vehicles or
pedestrians under all conditions.
• The AEB with Pedestrian Detection system does not detect the follow-
ing objects:
–
Small pedestrians (including small
children), animals and cyclists.
– Pedestrians in wheelchairs or us-ing mobile transport such as
scooters, child-operated toys, or
skateboards.
– Pedestrians who are seated or otherwise not in a full upright
standing or walking position.
– Oncoming vehicles
– Crossing vehicles
– Obstacles on the roadside • The AEB with Pedestrian Detection
system has some performance limi-
tations.
– If a stationary vehicle is in the ve-hicle’s path, the AEB with Pedes-
trian Detection system will not
function when the vehicle is
driven at speeds over approxi-
mately 50 mph (80 km/h).
– For pedestrian detection, the AEB with Pedestrian Detection system
will not function when the vehicle
is driven at speeds over approxi-
mately 37 mph (60 km/h) or below
approximately 6 mph (10 km/h).
• The AEB with Pedestrian Detection system will not function for pedes-
trians in darkness or in tunnels, even
if there is street lighting in the area.
• The AEB with Pedestrian Detection system may not function if the ve-
hicle ahead is narrow (for example, a
motorcycle).
• The AEB with Pedestrian Detection system may not function if speed
difference between the two vehicles
is too small. • The radar sensor AEB with Pedes-
trian Detection system may not
function properly or detect a vehicle
ahead in the following conditions:
– Poor visibility (conditions such asrain, snow, fog, dust storms, sand-
storms, and road spray from other
vehicles)
– Driving on a steep downhill slope or roads with sharp curves.
– Driving on a bumpy road surface, such as an uneven dirt road.
– If dirt, ice, snow or other material is covering the radar sensor area.
–
Interference by other radar sources.– The camera area of windshield is fogged up, or covered with dirt,
water drops, ice, snow, etc.
– Strong light (for example, sunlight or high beams from oncoming ve-
hicles) enters the front camera.
Strong light causes the area
around the pedestrian to be cast
in a shadow, making it difficult to
see.
– A sudden change in brightness occurs (for example, when the ve-
hicle enters or exits a tunnel or a
shaded area or lightning flashes).
Starting and driving5-123

The ECO mode helps reduce power con-
sumption by reducing acceleration when
compared to the same accelerator pedal
position in the D (Drive) position. Use the
ECO mode for maximum driving range and
for city driving.
To turn on the ECO mode, push the ECO
switch. The ECO mode indicator appears
on the vehicle information display.
To turn off the ECO mode, push the ECO
switch again. The ECO mode indicator will
turn off.• The selection of the ECO mode (ON or
OFF) is retained even when the EV system
is restarted.
• When the ECO mode is turned off, driving performance is changed. Before turning
off the ECO mode, ensure it is safe to do so,
release the accelerator pedal and operate
the ECO switch.
• Turn off the ECO mode when acceleration is required, such as when: – driving with a heavy load of passengersor cargo in the vehicle.
– driving on a steep uphill slope.
• When the cruise control is operated, the vehicle makes it a priority to maintain a
constant speed. The driving range will not
be extended even if the ECO mode indica-
tor appears.
NOTE:
Selecting this drive mode will not neces-
sarily improve power economy as many
driving factors influence its effectiveness.
The vehicle range varies depending upon
the following factors:
• Speed
• Vehicle load
• Electrical load from vehicle accessories
• Traffic and road conditions
NISSAN recommends the following driv-
ing habits to help maximize vehicle range:
Before driving:
• Follow the recommended periodicmaintenance.
• Keep tires inflated to the correct pressure.
• Keep wheels in correct alignment.
• Pre-heat or pre-cool the interior cabin while the vehicle is charging.
• Remove unnecessary cargo from the vehicle.
While driving:
• Drive in ECO mode. – The ECO mode helps reduce powerconsumption by reducing acceleration
when compared to the same accelera-
tor pedal position in the D (Drive) posi-
tion (normal mode).
ECO MODE INCREASING POWER ECONOMY
5-142Starting and driving

When you put the shif t lever in the B mode
and take your foot off the accelerator
pedal, more regenerative brake is applied
than in the D (Drive) position. However, dur-
ing high-speed driving you may feel that
regenerative brake provides less decelera-
tion than the engine braking in an ordinary
vehicle. This is normal.
Less deceleration is provided by the regen-
erative brake system when the Li-ion bat-
tery is fully charged. Regenerative brake is
automatically reduced when the Li-ion
battery is fully charged to prevent the Li-ion
battery from becoming overcharged. Re-
generative brake is also automatically re-
duced when the battery temperature is
high/low (indicated by the red/blue zones
on the battery temperature gauge) to pre-
vent Li-ion battery damage.
The brake pedal should be used to slow or
stop the vehicle depending on traffic or
road conditions. The vehicle brakes are not
affected by regenerative brake system op-
eration.NOTE:
•When applying the regenerative brakes,
you may hear a sound coming from the
regenerative brake system. This is a
normal operating characteristic of an
EV.
• If the power switch position is in a posi-
tion other than ON or READY to drive,
you can stop the vehicle by depressing
the brake pedal. However, greater foot
pressure on the brake pedal will be re-
quired to stop the vehicle, and the stop-
ping distance will be longer.
• When depressing the brake pedal, the
brake pedal feel will not be smooth or
may change when the cooperative re-
generative brake system activates.
However, the electronically controlled
brake system is operating normally and
this does not indicate a malfunction.
Using the brakes
Avoid resting your foot on the brake pedal
while driving. This will cause overheating of
the brakes, wearing out of the brake pads
and shoes faster, and will reduce driving
range. To help reduce brake wear, and to prevent
the brakes from overheating, reduce speed
and select B mode before going down a
slope or long grade. Overheated brakes
may reduce braking performance and
could result in loss of vehicle control.
WARNING
• While driving on a slippery surface, be careful when braking or acceler-
ating. Abrupt braking or accelerat-
ing could cause the wheels to skid,
which could result in an accident.
• If the brake pedal is depressed with the EV system OFF, you may feel an
increased brake pedal effort and a
decreased pedal stroke. If the BRAKE
warning light does not illuminate
and the brake pedal feels like it has
returned to its normal state af ter the
EV system is started, this indicates
that there is no malfunction and the
vehicle can be operated normally.
Starting and driving5-147

10. Af ter starting your EV system, carefullydisconnect the negative cable and
then the positive cable (
4→3→2
→1) and keep in the READY to drive
position over 20 minutes to charge the
12-volt battery.
11. If necessary, connect the vehicle to a charging station or EVSE (Electric Ve-
hicle Supply Equipment) to charge the
Li-ion battery. For additional informa-
tion, refer to the “Charging” section. The
vehicle cannot be driven until the Li-ion
battery is charged.
12. Af ter jump starting your vehicle it is rec- ommended you visit a NISSAN certified
LEAF dealer to have the 12V battery
tested.
NOTE:
If it is not possible to turn the system ON
by following this procedure, it is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN certified
LEAF dealer immediately. If the power limitation indicator light
illuminates, the traction motor output is
limited resulting in reduced vehicle speed.
Stop the vehicle in a safe location before
the Li-ion battery becomes completely dis-
charged and no power is available to drive
the vehicle. Contact Roadside assistance;
refer to a NISSAN Warranty Information
Booklet.
If possible, place the power switch in the
OFF position while waiting for assistance to
prevent discharging the 12-volt battery.
NOTE:
If the Li-ion battery becomes completely
discharged:
•
The vehicle is automatically placed in
the ON position and it will not be pos-
sible to switch to the READY to drive po-
sition.
• The vehicle is automatically switched to
the N (Neutral) position and it will not be
possible to drive the vehicle.
WARNING
If the vehicle is in the N (Neutral) posi-
tion and the Li-ion battery and the 12-
volt battery become completely dis-
charged, the vehicle cannot be placed
in the P (Park) position. If this occurs,
place suitable blocks at both the front
and back of a wheel to prevent the ve-
hicle from moving. Failure to block a
wheel may allow the vehicle to move
unexpectedly which may result in seri-
ous personal injury or death.
To place the vehicle in the READY to drive
position so the vehicle can be driven,
charge the Li-ion battery until the driving
range on the instrument panel changes
from “---” to a numeric distance.
NOTE:
•Some vibration may occur when the ve-
hicle is stopped in case the Li-ion battery
becomes completely discharged. This is
not the malfunction of the system.
• If the Li-ion battery is completely dis-
charged, it is required to charge until
the low battery charge warning light
turns off (white) from on (yellow).
IF THE LI-ION BATTERY BECOMES
COMPLETELY DISCHARGED
In case of emergency6-13

• Do not use a wax containing any abra-sives, cutting compounds or cleaners that
may damage the vehicle finish.
Machine compound or aggressive polish-
ing on a base coat/clear coat paint finish
may dull the finish or leave swirl marks.
REMOVING SPOTS
Remove tar and oil spots, industrial dust,
insects, and tree sap as quickly as possible
from the paint surface to avoid lasting
damage or staining. Special cleaning prod-
ucts are available at a NISSAN certified
LEAF dealer or any automotive accessory
stores.
UNDERBODY
In areas where road salt is used in winter,
the underbody must be cleaned regularly.
This will prevent dirt and salt from building
up and causing the acceleration of corro-
sion on the underbody and suspension.
Before the winter period and again in the
spring, the underseal must be checked
and, if necessary, re-treated.
GLASS
Use glass cleaner to remove smoke and
dust film from the glass surfaces. It is nor-
mal for glass to become coated with a film
af ter the vehicle is parked in the hot sun.
Glass cleaner and a sof t cloth will easily
remove this film.
CAUTION
When cleaning the inside of the win-
dows, do not use sharp-edged tools,
abrasive cleaners or chlorine-based
disinfectant cleaners. They could dam-
age the electrical conductors, radio
antenna elements or rear window de-
froster elements.
WHEELS
Wash the wheels when washing the vehicle
to maintain their appearance.
• Clean the inner side of the wheels when the wheel is changed or the underside of
the vehicle is washed.
• Inspect wheel rims regularly for dents or corrosion. Such damage may cause loss
of pressure or poor seal at the tire bead. • NISSAN recommends that the road
wheels be waxed to protect against road
salt in areas where it is used during winter.
CAUTION
Do not use abrasive cleaners when
washing the wheels.
Aluminum alloy wheels (if so
equipped)
Wash regularly with a sponge dampened in a
mild soap solution, especially during winter
months in areas where road salt is used. Salt
could discolor the wheels if not removed.
CAUTION
Follow the directions below to avoid
staining or discoloring the wheels:
• Do not use a cleaner that uses strong acid or alkali contents to
clean the wheels.
• Do not apply wheel cleaners to the wheels when they are hot. The wheel
temperature should be the same as
ambient temperature.
• Rinse the wheel to completely re- move the cleaner within 15 minutes
af ter the cleaner is applied.
