STEERING ASSIST
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use of the Steer-
ing Assist could result in serious injury
or death.
• The Steering Assist is not a replace- ment for proper driving procedures
and is not designed to correct care-
less, inattentive or absent-minded
driving. The Steering Assist will not
always steer the vehicle to keep it in
the lane. It 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 ve-
hicle at all times.
• As there is a performance limit to the Steering Assist’s capability, never
rely solely on the system. The Steer-
ing Assist does not function in all
driving, traffic, weather, and road
conditions. Always drive safely, pay
attention to the operation of the ve-
hicle, and manually control your ve-
hicle appropriately. • The Steering Assist is intended for
use on well-developed freeways or
highways with gentle (moderate)
curves. To avoid risk of an accident,
do not use this system on local or
non-highway roads.
• The Steering Assist only steers the vehicle to maintain its position in the
center of a lane. The vehicle will not
steer to avoid objects in the road in
front of the vehicle or to avoid a ve-
hicle moving into your lane.
• It is the driver’s responsibility to stay alert, drive safely, keep the vehicle in
the traveling lane, and be in control
of the vehicle at all times. Never take
your hands off the steering wheel
when driving. Always keep your
hands on the steering wheel and
drive your vehicle safely.
• Always drive carefully and atten- tively when using the Steering As-
sist. Read and understand the Own-
er’s Manual thoroughly before using
the Steering Assist. To avoid serious
injury or death, do not rely on the
system to prevent accidents or to
control the vehicle’s speed in emer-
gency situations. Do not use the
Steering Assist except in appropri-
ate road and traffic conditions.
Steering Assist operation
The Steering Assist controls the steering
system to help keep your vehicle near the
center of the lane when driving. The Steer-
ing Assist is combined with the Intelligent
Cruise Control (ICC) system. For additional
information, refer to “Intelligent Cruise Con-
trol (ICC) (with ProPILOT Assist)” in this sec-
tion.
The Steering Assist can be activated when
the following conditions are met:
• The ICC system is activated.
• Lane markers on both sides are clearly
detected.
• A vehicle ahead is detected (when the ve- hicle is driven at speeds under 37 mph
[60 km/h]).
• The driver grips the steering wheel.
• The vehicle is driven at the center of the lane.
• The turn signals are not operated.
• The windshield wiper is not operated in the high (HI) speed operation (the steering
assist function is disabled af ter the wiper
operates for approximately 10 seconds).
5-102Starting and driving

Hands on detection
When the Steering Assist is activated, it
monitors the driver’s steering wheel opera-
tion.
If the steering wheel is not operated or the
driver takes his/her hands off the steering
wheel for a period of time, the warning
1
appears in the vehicle information display.
If the driver does not operate the steering
wheel af ter the warning has been dis-
played, an audible alert sounds and the
warning flashes in the vehicle information
display, followed by a quick brake applica-
tion to request the driver to take control of
the vehicle again.
If the driver still does not respond, the Pro-
PILOT Assist turns on the hazard flasher
and slows the vehicle to a complete stop.
The driver can cancel the deceleration at
any time by steering, braking, accelerating,
or operating the ProPILOT Assist switch.
5-104Starting 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)
