2019 NISSAN LEAF turn signal

Your NISSAN is equipped with the
Bluetooth® Hands-Free Phone System. If
you have a compatible Bluetooth® enabled
cellular phone, you can set up the wireless
connection between your cellular phone
and the in-vehicle phone module. With
Bluetooth® wireless technology, you can
make or receive a hands-free telephone
call with your cellular phone in the vehicle.
Once your cellular phone is connected to
the in-vehicle phone module, no other
phone connecting procedure is required.
Your phone is automatically connected
with the in-vehicle phone module whenthe power switch is placed in the ON posi-
tion with the previously connected cellular
phone turned on and carried in the vehicle.
NOTE:
Some devices require the user to accept
specific connections for certain features
(such as phonebook download). If your
phone does not connect automatically to
the system, consult the phone’s Owner’s
Manual for details on device operation.
You can connect up to five different
Bluetooth® cellular phones to the in-
vehicle phone module. However, you can
talk on only one cellular phone at a time.Before using the Bluetooth® Hands-Free
Phone System, refer to the following notes:
• Set up the wireless connection between a
compatible cellular phone and the in-
vehicle phone module before using the
hands-free phone system.
•
Some Bluetooth® enabled cellular phones
may not be recognized or work properly.
Please visit www.nissanusa.com/bluetooth
or www.nissan.ca/bluetooth for a recom-
mended phone list and connecting
instructions.
• You will not be able to use a hands-free phone under the following conditions: – Your vehicle is outside of the cellularservice area.
– Your vehicle is in an area where it is difficult to receive a cellular signal; such
as in a tunnel, in an underground park-
ing garage, near a tall building or in a
mountainous area.
– Your cellular phone is locked to prevent it from being dialed.
• When the radio wave condition is not ideal or ambient sound is too loud, it may be
difficult to hear the other person’s voice
during a call.

dirt or obstruction to the sensor.
– When the radar signal is temporarily interrupted.
Manual operation
The electronic parking brake will not be au-
tomatically applied if the EV system is
stopped without using the power switch
(for example, by EV system stalling). In such
a case, you have to apply the parking brake
manually.
To apply: Pull the switch up
1. The indica-
tor light
Awill illuminate.
To release: With the power switch in the ON
position, depress the brake pedal and push
the switch down
2. The indicator lightA
will turn off.
Before driving, check that the electronic
parking brake indicator light (
or PARK)
goes out. For additional information, refer
to “Warning lights, indicator lights and au-
dible reminders” in the “Instruments and
controls” section of this manual.
NOTE:
• A buzzer will sound if the vehicle is
driven without releasing the parking
brake. For additional information, refer
to “Warning lights, indicator lights and
audible reminders” in the “Instruments
and controls” section of this manual.
• While the electronic parking brake is ap-
plied or released, an operating sound is
heard from the lower side of the rear
seat. This is normal and does not indi-
cate a malfunction.
• When the electronic parking brake is
frequently applied and released in a
short period of time, the parking brake
may not operate in order to prevent the
parking brake system from overheat-
ing. If this occurs, operate the electronic
parking brake switch again af ter wait-
ing approximately 1 minute.
• If the electronic parking brake must be
applied while driving in an emergency,
pull up and hold the electronic parking
brake switch. When you release the
electronic parking brake switch, the
parking brake will be released. •
While pulling up the electronic parking
brake switch during driving, the parking
brake is applied and a chime sounds.
The electronic parking brake indicator
light (
or PARK) in the meter and in
the electronic parking brake switch illu-
minates. This does not indicate a mal-
function. The electronic parking brake
indicator light (
or PARK) in the me-
ter and in the electronic parking brake
switch turns off when the parking brake
is released.
• When pulling the electronic parking
brake switch up with the power switch
in the OFF or ACC position, the elec-
tronic parking brake switch indicator
light will continue to illuminate for a
short period of time.

SYSTEM TEMPORARILY
UNAVAILABLE
Ifthe vehicle is parked in direct sunlight un-
der high temperature conditions (over ap-
proximately 104°F [40°C]) and then started,
the LDW system may be deactivated auto-
matically and the following message will
appear in the vehicle information display:
“Unavailable: High Cabin Temp.”
When the interior temperature is reduced,
the LDW system will resume operating au-
tomatically
The LDW system is not designed to warn
under the following conditions:
• When you operate the lane change signal and change traveling lanes in the direc-
tion of the signal. (The LDW system will
become operable again 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 LDW functions will resume.
SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
If the LDW system malfunctions, it will can-
cel automatically and “Malfunction: See
Owner’s Manual” will appear in the vehicle
information display. If “Malfunction: See
Owner’s Manual” appears in the vehicle in-
formation display, pull off the road to a safe
location and stop the vehicle. Place the
shif t lever in the P (Park) position and the
power switch in the OFF position and re-
start the EV system. If “Malfunction: See
Owner’s Manual” continues to appear in
the vehicle information display, have the
system checked. It is recommended that
you visit a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer for
this service.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The lane camera unit1for the LDW sys-
tem is located above the inside mirror. To
keep the proper operation of the LDW sys-
tem and prevent a system malfunction, be

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.

BSW SYSTEM OPERATION1. Side Indicator Light
2. BSW IndicatorThe BSW system operates above approxi-
mately 20 mph (32 km/h).
If the radar sensors detect a vehicle in the
detection zone, the side indicator light (1)
illuminates. If the turn signal is then acti-
vated, the system chimes (twice), the side
indicator light flashes, and the BSW indica-
tor (2) illuminates (yellow) in the vehicle in-
formation display. The side indicator light
continues to flash until the detected ve-
hicle leaves the detection zone.
The side indicator light illuminates for a few
seconds when the power switch is placed
in the ON position.
The brightness of the side indicator light is
adjusted automatically depending on the
brightness of the ambient light.
If a vehicle comes into the detection zone
af ter the driver activates the turn signal, then
only the side indicator light flashes and no
chime sounds. For additional information, re-
fer to “BSW driving situations” in this section
The BSW system automatically turns on
every time the EV system is started, as long
as it is activated using the settings menu
