2020 NISSAN LEAF power steering

The dynamic driver assistance switch is
used to temporarily turn on and off the
Intelligent Lane Intervention (I-LI) and Intel-
ligent Blind Spot Intervention (I-BSI) sys-
tems that are activated using the settings
menu of the vehicle information display.
The I-LI and I-BSI systems must be turned
on with the dynamic driver assistance
switch every time the power switch is
placed in the ON position.
The I-LI system warns the driver with a
warning and a chime, and helps assist the
driver to return the vehicle to the center of
the traveling lane by applying the brakes to
the lef t or right wheels individually (for ashort period of time). For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Intelligent Lane Interven-
tion (I-LI)” in the “Starting and driving” sec-
tion and “Vehicle information display” in the
“Instruments and controls” section of this
manual.
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. For additional information,
refer to “Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention
(I-BSI)” in the “Starting and driving” section
of this manual.
The Steering Assist switch is used to en-
able and disable the Steering Assist sys-
tem that is activated using the settings
menu of the vehicle information display.
The Steering Assist system controls the
steering system, when ProPILOT Assist is
engaged, to help keep your vehicle near
the center of the lane when driving. For
additional information, refer to “ProPILOT
Assist" and “Intelligent Lane Intervention (I-
LI)” in the “Starting and driving” section of
this manual.

Backing up behind a projecting
object
The positionOCis shown farther than the
position
OBin the display. However, the po-
sition
OCis actually at the same distance as
the position
OA. The vehicle may hit the object when backing up to the position
OA
if the object projects over the actual back-
ing up course.
HOW TO PARK WITH PREDICTIVE
COURSE LINES
WARNING
• If the tires are replaced with different
sized tires, the predictive course lines
may be displayed incorrectly.
• On a snow-covered or slippery road,
there may be a difference between
the predictive course line and the ac-
tual course line.
• If the battery is disconnected or be-
comes discharged, the predictive
course lines may be displayed incor-
rectly. If this occurs, please perform
the following procedures:
- Turn the steering wheel from lock to
lock while the EV (electric vehicle)
system is running.
- Drive the vehicle on a straight road
for more than 5 minutes.
• When the steering wheel is turned
with the power switch in the ACC po-
sition, the predictive course lines
may be displayed incorrectly. 1. Visually check that the parking space is
safe before parking your vehicle.
2. The rear view of the vehicle is displayed on the screen
OAwhen the shif t lever is
moved to the R (Reverse) position.

3. Slowly back up the vehicle adjusting thesteering wheel so that the predictive
course lines
OBenter the parking space
OC. 4. Maneuver the steering wheel to make
the vehicle width guide lines
ODparallel
to the parking space
OCwhile referring
to the predictive course lines.
5. When the vehicle is parked in the space completely, move the shif t lever to the P
(Park) position and apply the parking
brake.
HOW TO SWITCH THE DISPLAY
With the power switch in the ON position,
press the CAMERA button or move the shif t
lever to the R (Reverse) position to operate
the Intelligent Around View Monitor.
The Intelligent Around View Monitor dis-
plays different split screen views depend-
ing on the position of the shif t lever. Press
the CAMERA button to switch between the
available views.
If the shif t lever is in the R (Reverse) position,
the available views are:
• Rear view/bird’s-eye view split screen
• Rear view/front-side view split screen
• Full screen rear view
If the shif t lever is in the P (Park) and D
(Drive) position, the available views are:
• Front view/bird’s-eye view split screen
• Front view/front-side view split screen The display will switch from the Intelligent
Around View Monitor screen when:
• The shif t lever is in the D (Drive) position
and the vehicle speed increases above
approximately 6 mph (10 km/h).
• A different screen is selected.

* models with Navigation System Info
The Climate Ctrl. Timer does not activate if
the charge connector is not connected to
the vehicle. When the “Battery Operation
OK” is turned on and the charging connec-
tor is not connected to the vehicle, the Cli-
mate Ctrl. Timer will activate for 15 minutes.
When the outside temperature is high, the
interior temperature may not reach the set
temperature within the 15 minutes.
Turn "Battery Operation OK" to OFF when it
is not necessary to operate air condition-
ing timer in order to prevent Li-ion battery
from discharging.
For models without Navigation System, the
Climate Ctrl. Timer operates repeatedly ev-
ery day once it is turned on.
Operating tips for using Climate
Ctrl. Timer
• The Climate Ctrl. Timer will only start
when the power switch is in the LOCK/
OFF or ACC position. • To turn off the Climate Ctrl. Timer func-
tion, turn off the “Climate Ctrl. Timer1” and
"Climate Ctrl. Timer2" setting in the video
information display using the
button on the steering wheel. The start
and stop time settings will not be deleted
even if the Climate Ctrl. Timer function is
turned off.
• While the Climate Ctrl. Timer is operating, the Climate Ctrl. Timer indicator and the
charging status indicator lights flash. If
the Climate Ctrl. Timer is set to activate,
the Climate Ctrl. Timer indicator illumi-
nates.*
• If the Climate Ctrl. Timer starts operating while the vehicle is being charged, the
time required for charging will be longer.
• Operating the Climate Ctrl. Timer or re- mote climate control in an environment
where the temperature is low may de-
crease the rate of battery charge.

• The low tire pressure warning light doesnot automatically turn off when the tire
pressure is adjusted. Af ter the tire is in-
flated to the recommended pressure, the
vehicle must be driven at speeds above
16 mph (25 km/h) to activate the TPMS
and turn off the low tire pressure warning
light. Use a tire pressure gauge to check
the tire pressure.
• The “Tire Pressure Low - Add Air” warning also appears on the vehicle information
display when the low tire pressure warn-
ing light is illuminated and low tire pres-
sure is detected. The “Tire Pressure Low -
Add Air” warning turns off when the low
tire pressure warning light turns off.
• The “Tire Pressure Low - Add Air” warning appears each time the power switch is
placed in the ON position as long as the
low tire pressure warning light remains
illuminated.
• The “Tire Pressure Low - Add Air” warning does not appear if the low tire pressure
warning light illuminates to indicate a
TPMS malfunction. • Tire pressure rises and falls depending on
the heat caused by operation of the ve-
hicle and the outside temperature. Do
not reduce the tire pressure af ter driving
because the tire pressure rises af ter driv-
ing. Low outside temperature can lower
the temperature of the air inside the tire,
which can cause a lower tire inflation
pressure. This may cause the low tire
pressure warning light to illuminate. If the
warning light illuminates in low ambient
temperature, check the tire pressure for
all four tires.
• The pressure of all tires can also be checked on the display screen. The order
of the tire pressure figures displayed on
the screen does not correspond with the
actual order of the tire position.
For additional information, refer to “Low tire
pressure warning light” in the “Instruments
and controls” section and “Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS)” in the “In case of
emergency” section of this manual.WARNING
• Radio waves could adversely affect
electric medical equipment. Those
who use a pacemaker should contact
the electric medical equipment
manufacturer for the possible influ-
ences before use.
• If the low tire pressure warning light
illuminates while driving, avoid sud-
den steering maneuvers or abrupt
braking, reduce vehicle speed, pull
off the road to a safe location and
stop the vehicle as soon as possible.
Driving with under-inflated tires may
permanently damage the tires and
increase the likelihood of tire failure.
Serious vehicle damage could occur
and may lead to an accident and
could result in serious personal in-
jury. Check the tire pressure for all
four tires. Adjust the tire pressure to
the recommended COLD tire pres-
sure shown on the Tire and Loading
Information label to turn the low tire
pressure warning light off. If the tire is
flat, repair it as soon as possible. (For
additional information, refer to “Flat
tire” in the “In case of emergency ”
section of this manual.)
