2019 NISSAN LEAF sensor

– The poor contrast of a person tothe background, such as having
clothing color or pattern which is
similar to the background.
– The pedestrian’s profile is par- tially obscured or unidentifiable
due to the pedestrian transport-
ing luggage, wearing bulky or very
loose fitting clothing or accesso-
ries.
• The system performance may de- grade in the following conditions:
– The vehicle is driven on a slipperyroad.
– The vehicle is driven on a slope.
– Excessively heavy baggage is loaded in the rear seat or the
cargo area of your vehicle.
• The system is designed to automati- cally check the sensor’s (radar and
camera) functionality, within certain
limitations. The system may not de-
tect blockage of sensor areas cov-
ered by ice, snow or stickers, for ex-
ample. In these cases, the system
may not be able to warn the driver
properly. Be sure that you check,
clean and clear sensor areas regu-
larly. • In some road and traffic conditions,
the AEB with Pedestrian Detection
system may unexpectedly apply
partial braking. When acceleration is
necessary, depress the accelerator
pedal to override the system.
• Excessive noise will interfere with the warning chime sound, and the
chime may not be heard.
• The AEB with Pedestrian Detection system may react to a person on a
bicycle, detecting as a pedestrian.
• The AEB with Pedestrian Detection system may operate under the fol-
lowing conditions, detecting the
possibility of a forward collision:
– A vehicle or a person is on theroadside at the beginning of a
curve.
– A pedestrian approaches the driv- ing lane in front of the vehicle.

SYSTEM TEMPORARILY
UNAVAILABLE
Condition A
In the following conditions, the AEB with
Pedestrian Detection system warning light
blinks and the system will be turned off
automatically:
• The radar sensor picks up interferencefrom another radar source.
• The camera area of windshield is misted or frozen.
• Strong light is shining from the front.
• The cabin temperature is over approxi- mately 104°F (40°C) in direct sunlight.
• The camera area of windshield glass is continuously covered with dirt, etc.
Action to take
When the above conditions no longer exist,
the AEB with Pedestrian Detection system
will resume automatically.
NOTE:
When the inside of the windshield on
camera area is misted or frozen, it will
take a period of time to remove it af ter
the A/C turns on. If dirt appears on this
area, it is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN certified LEAF dealer.
Starting and driving5-125

Condition B
In the following conditions, the AEB with
Pedestrian Detection system warning light
will illuminate and the “Not Available: Front
Radar Blocked” warning message will ap-
pear in the vehicle information display:
• The sensor area of the front of the vehicleis covered with dirt or is obstructed.
Action to take
If the warning light (orange) comes on, stop
the vehicle in a safe place, and turn the EV
system off. Clean the radar cover on the
front of the vehicle with a sof t cloth, and
restart the EV system. If the warning light
continues to illuminate, have the AEB with
Pedestrian Detection 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 buildings (for example, long
bridges, deserts, snow fields, driving next to
long walls). Action to take
When the above conditions no longer exist,
the AEB with Pedestrian Detection system
will resume automatically.
NOTE:
If the AEB with Pedestrian Detection sys-
tem stops working, the I-FCW system will
also stop working.
SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
If the AEB with Pedestrian Detection sys-
tem malfunctions, it will be turned off auto-
matically, a chime will sound, the AEB with
Pedestrian Detection system warning light
(orange) will illuminate and the warning
message [Malfunction] will appear in the
vehicle information display.
Action to take
If the warning light (orange) comes on, stop
the vehicle in a safe location, turn the EV
system off and restart the EV system. If the
warning light continues to illuminate, have
the AEB with Pedestrian Detection system
checked. It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN certified LEAF dealer for this ser-
vice.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The radar sensor is located on the front of
the vehicle
B. The camera is located on
the upper side of the windshield
A.
To keep the AEB with Pedestrian Detection
system operating properly, be sure to ob-
serve the following:
• Always keep sensor areas of the front bumper and windshield clean.
• Do not strike or damage the areas around the sensors (e.g., bumper, windshield).
5-126Starting and driving

• Do not cover or attach stickers, or installany accessory near the sensors. This
could block sensor signals, and/or cause
failure or malfunction.
• Do not attach metallic objects near the radar sensor (brush guard, etc.). This could
cause failure or malfunction.
• Do not place reflective materials, such as white paper or a mirror, on the instrument
panel. The reflection of sunlight may ad-
versely affect the camera unit’s detection
capability.
• 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 I-FCW
system could result in serious injury or
death.
• The I-FCW system can help warn the driver before a collision occurs but
will not avoid a collision. It is the driv-
er’s responsibility to stay alert, drive
safely and be in control of the vehicle
at all times.
The I-FCW system can help alert the driver
when there is a sudden braking of a second
vehicle traveling in front of the vehicle
ahead in the same lane. The I-FCW system uses a radar sensor
A
located on the front of the vehicle to mea-
sure distance to the vehicle ahead in the
same lane.

WARNING (I-FCW) (IF SO EQUIPPED)
5-128Starting and driving

WARNING
Listed below are the system limita-
tions for the I-FCW system. Failure to
operate the vehicle in accordance with
these system limitations could result
in serious injury or death.
• The I-FCW system cannot detect all vehicles under all conditions.
• The radar sensor does not detect the following objects:
– Pedestrians, animals or obstaclesin the roadway.
– Oncoming vehicles.
– Crossing vehicles.
• (Illustration A) The I-FCW system does not function when a vehicle
ahead is a narrow vehicle, such as a
motorcycle.
• The radar sensor may not detect a vehicle ahead in the following condi-
tions:
– Snow or heavy rain.
– Dirt, ice, snow or other materialcovering the radar sensor.
–
Interference by other radar sources.– Snow or road spray from traveling vehicles.
– Driving in a tunnel. – (Illustration B) When the vehicle
ahead is being towed.
– (Illustration C) When the distance to the vehicle ahead is too close,
the beam of the radar sensor is
obstructed.
– (Illustration D) When driving on a steep downhill slope or roads with
sharp curves.
• The system is designed to automati- cally check the sensor’s functional-
ity, within certain limitations. The
system may not detect some forms
of obstruction of the sensor area
such as ice, snow, stickers, etc. In
these cases, the system may not be
able to warn the driver properly. Be
sure that you check, clean and clear
the sensor area regularly.
• Excessive noise will interfere with the warning chime sound, and the
chime may not be heard.
