2020 NISSAN LEAF Owner´s Manual

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use of the Intelli-
gent Around View Monitor system
could result in serious injury or death.
• The Intelligent Around View Monitor
is a convenience feature and is not a
substitute for proper vehicle opera-
tion because it has areas where ob-
jects cannot be viewed. The four cor-
ners of the vehicle in particular, are
areas where objects do not always
appear in the bird’s-eye, front, or rear
views. Always check your surround-
ings to be sure that it is safe to move
before operating the vehicle. Always
operate the vehicle slowly.
• The driver is always responsible for
safety during parking and other
maneuvers.
CAUTION
Do not scratch the camera lens when
cleaning dirt or snow from the front of
the camera. The Intelligent Around View Monitor sys-
tem is designed as an aid to the driver in
situations such as slot parking or parallel
parking. The monitor displays various
views of the position of the vehicle in a split
screen format. Not all views are available at
all times.
Available views:
• Front View
The view of the front of the vehicle.
• Rear View The view of the rear of the vehicle.
• Bird’s-Eye View The surrounding views of the vehicle
from above.
• Front-Side View The view around and ahead of the front
passenger’s side wheel.
• Full screen rear view The view to the rear of the vehicle (which
is a little wider than the standard rear
view). To display the multiple views, the Intelligent
Around View Monitor system uses cam-
eras located in the front grille, on the vehi-
cle’s outside mirrors and one just above
the vehicle’s license plate
O1.

MONITOR SYSTEM OPERATION
With the EV (electric vehicle) system on,
move the shif t lever to the R (Reverse) po-
sition or press the CAMERA button to oper-
ate the Intelligent Around View Monitor.
When the camera is first activated with the
bird’s-eye view in the display, a red icon will
flash on the screen. This indicates that the
LHA4527
4-12Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems

sonar system is activated. For additional
information on the rear sonar system, refer
to “Rear sonar system” in the “Starting and
driving” section of this manual. The screen
displayed on the Intelligent Around View
Monitor will automatically return to the
previous screen 3 minutes af ter the CAM-
ERA button has been pressed with the shif t
lever in a position other than the R (Re-
verse) position.
Available views
WARNING
• The distance guide lines and the ve-
hicle width lines should be used as a
reference only when the vehicle is on
a paved, level surface. The apparent
distance viewed on the monitor may
be different than the actual distance
between the vehicle and displayed
objects.
• Use the displayed lines and the bird’s
eye view as a reference. The lines and
the bird’s-eye view are greatly af-
fected by the number of occupants,
cargo, fuel level, vehicle position,
road condition and road grade. •
If the tires are replaced with different
sized tires, the predictive course lines
and the bird’s-eye view may be dis-
played incorrectly.
• When driving the vehicle up a hill, ob-
jects viewed in the monitor are fur-
ther than they appear. When driving
the vehicle down a hill, objects
viewed in the monitor are closer than
they appear.
• Objects in the rear view will appear
visually opposite compared to when
viewed in the rear view and outside
mirrors.
• Use the mirrors or actually look to
properly judge distances to other
objects.
• On a snow-covered or slippery road,
there may be a difference between
the predictive course lines and the
actual course line.
• The vehicle width and predictive
course lines are wider than the actual
width and course.
• The displayed lines will appear
slightly off to the right, because the
rearview camera is not installed in
the rear center of the vehicle.
Front and rear view
Guiding lines that indicate the approximate
vehicle width and distance to objects with
reference to the vehicle body lines
OAare
displayed on the monitor.
Distance guide lines
Indicate distances from the vehicle body:
• Red line
O1: approximately 1.5 f t (0.5 m)
• Yellow lines
O2: approximately 3 f t (1 m)
• Green lines
O3: approximately 7 f t (2 m)
• Green lines
O4: approximately 10 f t (3 m) (if
so equipped)

Vehicle width guide linesO5
Indicate the approximate vehicle width
when backing up.
Predictive course lines
O6
Indicate the predicted course when oper-
ating the vehicle. The predictive course
lines will be displayed on the monitor when
the steering wheel is turned. The predictive
course lines will move depending on how
much the steering wheel is turned and
may not be displayed while the steering
wheel is in the straight-ahead position. Thefront view will not be displayed when the
vehicle speed is above 6 mph (10 km/h).
NOTE:
When the monitor displays the front
view and the steering wheel turns about
90 degrees or less from the straight-
ahead position, both the right and lef t
predictive course lines
O6are displayed.
When the steering wheel turns about 90
degrees or more, a line is displayed only
on the opposite side of the turn.
Birds-eye view
The bird’s-eye view shows the overhead
view of the vehicle, which helps confirm the
vehicle position and the predicted course
to a parking space. The vehicle icon
O1
shows the position of the vehicle. Note that
the apparent distance between objects
viewed in the bird’s-eye view may differ
somewhat from the actual distance to the
vehicle.
The areas that the cameras cannot cover
O2are indicated in black.

WARNING
• Objects in the bird’s-eye view will ap-
pear further than the actual distance.
• Tall objects, such as a curb or vehicle,
may be misaligned or not displayed
at the seam of the views.
• Objects that are above the camera
cannot be displayed.
• The view for the bird’s-eye view may
be misaligned when the camera po-
sition alters.
• A line on the ground may be mis-
aligned and is not seen as being
straight at the seam of the views. The
misalignment will increase as the
line proceeds away from the vehicle.
Front-side view
Guiding lines
Guiding lines that indicate the approximate
width and the front end of the vehicle are
displayed on the monitor.
The front-of-vehicle line
O1shows the front
part of the vehicle.
The side-of-vehicle line
O2shows the ap-
proximate vehicle width including the out-
side mirrors.
The extensions
O3of both the frontO1and
side
O2lines are shown with a green dotted
line.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PREDICTED
AND ACTUAL DISTANCES
The displayed guidelines and their loca-
tions on the ground are for approximate
reference only. Objects on uphill or downhill
surfaces or projecting objects will be actu-
ally located at distances different from
those displayed in the monitor relative to
the guidelines (refer to illustrations). When
in doubt, turn around and view the objects
as you are backing up, or park and exit the
vehicle to view the positioning of objects
behind the vehicle.

Backing up on a steep uphill
When backing up the vehicle up a hill, the
distance guide lines and the vehicle width
guide lines are shown closer than the ac-
tual distance. Note that any object on the
hill is further than it appears on the
monitor.
Backing up on a steep downhill
When backing up the vehicle down a hill,
the distance guide lines and the vehicle
width guide lines are shown farther than
the actual distance. Note that any object
on the hill is closer than it appears on the
monitor.
Backing up near a projecting
object
The predictive course linesOAdo not touch
the object in the display. However, the ve-
hicle may hit the object if it projects over
the actual backing up course.

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 ve-
hicle) 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.
