NOTE:
When Lane Departure Prevention is ON in
the settings menu, turning the ProPILOT
Assist system (if so equipped) on will ac-
tivate the Intelligent Lane Intervention
(I-LI) system at the same time. If Lane
Departure Prevention is OFF in the set-
tings menu, I-LI will automatically acti-
vate when ProPILOT Assist is “SET” or
Steering Assist is active. For additional
information, refer to “Intelligent Lane In-
tervention (I-LI)” in this section.
I-LI SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for the I-LI system. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions for proper
use of the I-LI system could result in
serious injury or death.
• The I-LI system may activate if you
change lanes without first activating
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 correc-
tive steering to complete your lane
change. •
Because the I-LI may not activate un-
der 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 detect 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.
5-34Starting and driving

–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.
– When the headlights are not
bright due to dirt on the lens or if
the aiming is not adjusted
properly.
– When strong light enters the lane
camera 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.
SYSTEM TEMPORARILY
UNAVAILABLE
Condition A:
The warning and assist functions of the I-LI
system are not designed to work under the
following conditions:
• When you operate the lane change signal and change the traveling lanes in the di-
rection of the signal. (The I-LI system will
be deactivated for approximately 2 sec-
onds 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 warning and assist func-
tions will resume. Condition B:
The assist function of the I-LI system is not
designed to work under the following con-
ditions (warning is still functional):
• When the brake pedal is depressed.
• When the steering wheel is turned as far
as necessary for the vehicle to change
lanes.
• When the vehicle is accelerated during I-LI system operation.
• When the Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) approach warning occurs.
• When the hazard warning flashers are operated.
• When driving on a curve at high speed.
Af ter the above conditions have finished
and the necessary operating conditions
are satisfied, the I-LI system application of
the brakes will resume.
Condition C:
If the following messages appear in the
vehicle information display, a chime will
sound and the I-LI system will be turned off
automatically.
• “Not Available - Poor Road Conditions”: When the Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC)
system (except Traction Control System
[TCS] function) or ABS operates.
Starting and driving5-35

• “Currently not available”: When the VDCsystem is turned off.
Action to take:
When the above conditions no longer exist,
turn off the I-LI system. Push the ProPILOT
Assist switch (models with ProPILOT Assist)
or dynamic driver assistance switch (mod-
els without ProPILOT Assist) to turn the I-LI
system back on.
Temporary disabled status at high tem-
perature:
If the vehicle is parked in direct sunlight
under high temperature conditions (over
approximately 104°F [40°C]) and then the
I-LI system is turned on, the I-LI system
may be deactivated automatically and the
following message will appear on the ve-
hicle information display: “Unavailable: High
Cabin Temperature.” When the interior
temperature is reduced, the system will re-
sume operating automatically.
SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
If the I-LI system malfunctions, it will cancel
automatically. The I-LI system warning light
(orange) will illuminate and “Malfunction:
See Owner’s Manual” warning message will
appear in the display. If the I-LI system warning light (orange) illu-
minates in the display, pull off the road to a
safe location and stop the vehicle. Turn the
EV system off and restart the EV system. If
the I-LI system warning light (orange) con-
tinues to illuminate, have the I-LI system
checked. It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN certified LEAF dealer for this ser-
vice.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The lane camera unitO1for the I-LI system
is located above the inside mirror. To keep
the proper operation of the I-LI system and
prevent a system malfunction, be sure to
observe the following:
• Always keep the windshield clean.

Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use of the I-BSI
system could result in serious injury or
death.
• The I-BSI system is not a replace-
ment for proper driving procedure
and is not designed to prevent con-
tact with vehicles or objects. When
changing lanes, always use the side
and rear mirrors and turn and look in
the direction you will move to ensure
it is safe to change lanes. Never rely
solely on the I-BSI system.
• There is a limitation to the detection
capability of the radar or the sonar.
Not every moving object or vehicle
will be detected. Using the I-BSI sys-
tem under some road, ground, lane
marker, traffic or weather conditions
could lead to improper system op-
eration. Always rely on your own op-
eration to avoid accidents.
The I-BSI system helps alert the driver of
other vehicles in adjacent lanes when
changing lanes, and helps assist the driver
to return the vehicle to the center of the
traveling lane. The I-BSI system uses radar sensors
O1
installed near the rear bumper to detect
other vehicles in an adjacent lane. In addi-
tion to the radar sensors, the I-BSI system
uses a camera
O2installed behind the
windshield to monitor the lane markers of
your traveling lane.

INTELLIGENT BLIND SPOT
INTERVENTION (I-BSI)
Starting and driving5-47

I-BSI SYSTEM OPERATION
The I-BSI system operates above approxi-
mately 37 mph (60 km/h).
If the radar sensors detect a vehicle in the
detection zone, the side indicator light
O1
illuminates.
If the turn signal is then activated, the sys-
tem chimes (twice) and the side indicator
light flashes. The side indicator light contin-
ues to flash until the detected vehicle
leaves the detection zone. The brightness
of the side indicator light is adjusted auto-
matically depending on the brightness of
the ambient light.
If the I-BSI system is ON and your vehicle
approaches a lane marker while another
vehicle is in the detection zone, the system
chimes (three times) and the side indicator
light flashes. The I-BSI system activates to
help return the vehicle back to the center of
the driving lane. The I-BSI system operates
regardless of turn signal usage.
NOTE:
• I-BSI warning and system applicationwill only be activated if the side indica-
tor light is already illuminated when
your vehicle approaches a lane marker.
If another vehicle comes into the de-
tection zone af ter your vehicle has
crossed a lane marker, no I-BSI warn-
ing or system application will be acti-
vated. (For additional information, see
“I-BSI driving situations” (P.5–52).).
• The I-BSI system is typically activated earlier than the Intelligent Lane Inter-
vention (I-LI) system when your vehicle
is approaching a lane marker.
To turn on the I-BSI system, push the ProPI-
LOT Assist switch on the steering wheel
(models with ProPILOT Assist) or the dy-
namic driver assistance switch (models
without ProPILOT Assist) af ter starting the
EV system. The I-BSI indicator will illumi-
nate. Push the ProPILOT Assist switch or
the dynamic driver assistance switch
again to turn off the I-BSI system. The I-BSI
indicator will turn off.

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use of the ProPI-
LOT Assist system could result in seri-
ous injury or death.
• ProPILOT Assist is not a self-driving
system. Within the limits of its capa-
bilities, as described in this manual, it
helps the driver with certain driving
activities.
• The ProPILOT Assist system is not a
replacement for proper driving pro-
cedures and is not designed to cor-
rect careless, inattentive or absent-
minded driving. ProPILOT Assist will
not always steer the vehicle to keep it
in the lane. The ProPILOT Assist sys-
tem is not designed to prevent loss of
control. 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.
