WARNING
•
Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use of the Mov-
ing object Detection (MOD) system
could result in serious injury or death.
• The MOD system is not a substitute for proper vehicle operation and is
not designed to prevent contact
with objects surrounding the ve-
hicle. When maneuvering, always
MOVING OBJECT DETECTION (MOD)
(IF SO EQUIPPED)
4-26Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems

use the outside mirrors and rear-
view mirror and turn and check the
surroundings to ensure it is safe to
maneuver.
• The system is deactivated at speeds above 5 mph (8 km/h). It is reacti-
vated at lower speeds.
• The MOD system is not designed to detect surrounding stationary ob-
jects.
The MOD system can inform the driver of
moving objects near the vehicle when
backing out of garages, maneuvering in
parking lots and in other such instances.
The MOD system detects moving objects
by using image processing technology on
the image shown in the display.
MOD SYSTEM OPERATION
The MOD system will turn on automatically
under the following conditions:
• When the shif t lever is in the R (Reverse) position.
• When vehicle speed decreases below approximately 5 mph (8 km/h) and the
camera screen is displayed. Front and bird’s-eye views
Rear and bird’s-eye views Rear and front-side views
Full screen rear view
Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems4-27

The MOD system operates in the following
conditions when the camera view is dis-
played:
• When the shif t lever is in the P (Park) or N(Neutral) position and the vehicle is
stopped, the MOD system detects moving
objects in the bird’s-eye view. The MOD
system may not operate if the outside
mirrors are moving in or out, in the stowed
position, or if either front door is opened.
• When the shif t lever is in the D (Drive) po- sition and the vehicle speed is below ap-
proximately 5 mph (8 km/h), the MOD sys-
tem detects moving objects in the front
view.
• When the shif t lever is in the R (Reverse) position and the vehicle speed is below
approximately 5 mph (8 km/h), the MOD
system detects moving objects in the rear
view. The MOD system will not operate if
the rear hatch is open.
The MOD system does not detect moving
objects in the front-side view. The MOD
icon is not displayed on the screen when in
this view. When the MOD system detects moving ob-
jects near the vehicle, a chime will be heard
and a yellow frame will be displayed on the
view where the objects are detected. While
the MOD system continues to detect mov-
ing objects, the yellow frame continues to
be displayed.
NOTE:
While the Rear Cross Traffic Alert chime
(if so equipped) is beeping, the MOD sys-
tem does not chime.
In the bird’s-eye view, the yellow frame
1
is displayed on each camera image (front,
rear, right, lef t) depending on where mov-
ing objects are detected.
The yellow frame
2is displayed on each
view in the front view and rear view modes.
A blue MOD icon
3is displayed in the view
where the MOD system is operative. A gray
MOD icon is displayed in the view where the
MOD system is not operative.
If the MOD system is turned off, the MOD
icon
3is not displayed.
TURNING MOD ON AND OFF
Some vehicles include the option to allow
the MOD system to be turned on or off in
the vehicle information display.

tem limitations could result in serious
injury or death.
• Do not use the MOD system when towing a trailer. The system may not
function properly.
4-28Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems

• Excessive noise (for example, audiosystem volume or open vehicle win-
dow) will interfere with the chime
sound, and it may not be heard.
• The MOD system performance will be limited according to environmen-
tal conditions and surrounding ob-
jects such as:
– When there is low contrast be-tween background and the mov-
ing objects.
– When there is a blinking source of light.
– When strong light such as another vehicle’s headlight or sunlight is
present.
– When camera orientation is not in its usual position, such as when a
mirror is folded.
– When there is dirt, water drops or snow on the camera lens.
– When the position of the moving objects in the display is not
changed.
• The MOD system might detect flow- ing water droplets on the camera
lens, white smoke from the muffler,
moving shadows, etc. • The MOD system may not function
properly depending on the speed,
direction, distance or shape of the
moving objects.
• If your vehicle sustains damage to the parts where the camera is in-
stalled, leaving it misaligned or bent,
the sensing zone may be altered and
the MOD system may not detect ob-
jects properly.
• When the temperature is extremely high or low, the screen may not dis-
play objects clearly. This is not a
malfunction.
NOTE:
The blue MOD icon will change to orange
if one of the following has occurred:
•When the system is malfunctioning.
• When the component temperature
reaches a high level (icon will blink).
If the icon light continues to illuminate
orange, have the MOD system checked.
It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN certified LEAF dealer for this
service.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
• Do not use alcohol, benzine or thin- ner to clean the camera. This will
cause discoloration.
• Do not damage the cameras as the
monitor screen may be adversely af-
fected.
If dirt, rain or snow accumulates on any of
the cameras
1, the Intelligent Around
View Monitor may not display objects
clearly. Clean the camera by wiping with a
cloth dampened with a diluted mild clean-
ing agent and then wiping with a dry cloth.

WARNING
• The air conditioning cooling func- tion operates only when the power
switch is in the ON position or when
the READY to drive indicator light is
ON.
• Do not leave children or adults who would normally require the assis-
tance of others alone in your vehicle.
Pets should also not be lef t alone.
They could accidentally injure them-
selves or others through inadver-
tent operation of the vehicle. Also,
on hot, sunny days, temperatures in
a closed vehicle could quickly be-
come high enough to causes severe
or possibly fatal injuries to people or
animals. • Do not use the recirculation mode
for long periods as it may cause the
interior air to become stale and the
windows to fog up.
NOTE:
•Odors from inside and outside the ve-
hicle can build up in the air conditioner
unit. Odor can enter the passenger
compartment through the vents.
• When parking, set the heater or air con-
ditioner controls to turn off air recircu-
lation to allow fresh air into the passen-
ger compartment. This should help
reduce odors inside the vehicle. The climate control system (air conditioner
and heater functions) can be operated
when the READY to drive indicator light is
illuminated. However, while charging, the
climate control system can be used when
the power switch is in the ON position.
The fan, heater and air conditioning can be
turned on manually, using the timer func-
tion and using the remote climate control
function.
These functions operate in the following
conditions.

NOTE:
•A series of operation sounds may be
heard immediately af ter climate con-
trol ON/OFF operation. This is not a mal-
function.
• Compressor and motor fan may sud-
denly start to operate during charging
operation. This is not a malfunction.
• Condensation forms inside the air con-
ditioning unit when the air conditioner
is running, and is safely discharged un-
derneath your vehicle. Traces of water
on the ground are therefore normal.
Water may drop underneath the vehicle
when climate control is operating.
DISPLAYING CLIMATE CONTROL
SYSTEM STATUS SCREEN (MODELS
WITH NAVIGATION SYSTEM)
For models with 40 kWh battery:

can be displayed as a widget. For details of
the widget, refer to the NissanConnect®
Manual (for Leaf ).
NOTE:
•
If the READY to drive indicator light is
illuminated and the EVSE (Electric Ve-
hicle Supply Equipment) is connected
to the vehicle, the power switch will
change to the ON position. At the same
time, the climate control system will
stop operating. However, the fan will
continue to operate. If you want to turn
on climate control again, place the
power switch in the OFF position and
then place it in the ON position again
af ter confirming that the vehicle has
started charging.
• When the power switch is in the ON po-
sition, if the power supply from the EVSE
(Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) is
interrupted due to an electrical outage,
etc., the system will operate in the fol-
lowing ways.

– If it occurs while charging is beingperformed:The climate control system will stop
once. If the power supply is restored
within approximately 5 minutes, the
climate control system will restart.
However, if more than 5 minutes
have elapsed, the climate control
system will not restart.
– If it occurs af ter charging has fin- ished:The climate control system will stop.
OPERATING TIPS
• The automatic climate control is equipped with sensors as illustrated. The
sensors
AandBhelp maintain a con-
stant temperature. Do not put anything
on or around these sensors.
•
Power consumption of the climate control
system varies depending on the outside
temperature and the temperature set for
the climate control system. Power con-
sumption increases if the interior tempera-
ture is cooled down too much in summer or
if it warmed up too much in winter. This will
result in a reduced driving range.
•Using the AUTO mode will help reduce the
power consumption of the climate control.
• When the AUTO button is pressed, the AUTO indicator illuminates. The
HEAT
button indicator or the A/C button indica-
tor illuminates according to the operation
of the climate control system.
• If any of the MODE, A/C,
HEAT,
fan speed control,front defroster is
pushed when the AUTO indicator illumi-
nates, the AUTO indicator will be turned
off.
