Overtaking another vehicle
Illustration 4: The side indicator light illumi-
nates if you overtake a vehicle and that
vehicle stays in the detection zone for ap-
proximately 3 seconds.Illustration 5: If the driver activates the turn
signal while another vehicle is in the detec-
tion zone, then the system chimes (twice)
and the side indicator light flashes.
Illustration 6: 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.

NOTE:
• When overtaking several vehicles in a row,the vehicles af ter the first vehicle may not
be detected if they are traveling close to-
gether.
• The radar sensors may not detect slower moving vehicles if they are passed
quickly.
• If the driver activates the turn signal be- fore a vehicle enters the detection zone,
the side indicator light will flash but no
chime will sound when the other vehicle
is detected.

Illustration 7: The side indicator light illumi-
nates if a vehicle enters the detection zone
from either side.
NOTE:
The radar sensors may not detect a ve-
hicle which is traveling at about the
same speed as your vehicle when it en-
ters the detection zone. Illustration 8: If the driver activates the turn
signal while another vehicle is in the detec-
tion zone, then the side indicator light
flashes and a chime will sound twice.
NOTE:
If the driver activates the turn signal be-
fore a vehicle enters the detection zone,
the side indicator light will flash but no
chime will sound when another vehicle is
detected.

while another vehicle is in the detection
zone, the system chimes (three times) and

system activates to help return the vehicle

erate if your vehicle is on a lane marker
when another vehicle enters the detection
zone. In this case only the BSW system op-
erates.
NOTE:
• The radar sensors may not detect a ve-
hicle which is traveling at about the
same speed as your vehicle when it en-
ters the detection zone.
• If the driver activates the turn signal before a vehicle enters the detection
zone, the side indicator light will flash
but no chime will sound when the
other vehicle is detected.
• I-BSI will not operate or will stop oper- ating and only a warning chime will
sound under the following conditions:– When the brake pedal is depressed.
– When the vehicle is accelerated dur- ing I-BSI system operation.
– When steering quickly.
– When the ICC, I-FCW or AEB with Pe- destrian Detection warnings sound.
– When the hazard warning flashers are operated.
– When driving on a curve at a high speed.

SYSTEM TEMPORARILY
UNAVAILABLE
Under the following conditions, a chime will
sound, the following message will appear
in the vehicle information display and the
I-BSI system will be turned off automati-
cally. The I-BSI system will not be available
until the conditions no longer exist.
• “Not available Poor Road Conditions”
• When the VDC system (except TCS func-tion) or ABS operates.
• “Currently not available”
• When the VDC system is turned off.
Action to take:
When the above conditions no longer exist,
push the ProPILOT Assist switch (models
with ProPILOT Assist) or the dynamic driver
assistance switch (models without ProPI-
LOT Assist) again to turn the I-BSI system
back on.
When radar blockage is detected, the I-BSI
system will be turned off automatically, a
chime will sound and the “Unavailable: Side
Radar Obstruction” warning message will
appear in the vehicle information display. The I-BSI system is not available until the
conditions no longer exist. For additional
information, refer to “System maintenance”
in this section.
Action to take:
When the above conditions no longer exist,
turn the I-BSI system on again. If the “Un-
available: Side Radar Obstruction” warning
message appears even af ter the I-BSI sys-
tem is turned on again, stop the vehicle in a
safe location, place the vehicle in the P
(Park) position and turn the EV system off.
Check for and remove objects obscuring
the radar sensors on the rear bumper, and
restart the EV system.
If the vehicle is parked in direct sunlight
under high temperature conditions (over
approximately 104°F (40°C)) and then the
I-BSI system is turned on, the I-BSI system
may be deactivated automatically. The
“Unavailable: High Cabin Temperature”
warning message will appear in the vehicle
information display.
Action to take:
When the interior temperature is reduced,
push the ProPILOT Assist switch (models
with ProPILOT Assist) or the dynamic driver
assistance switch (models without ProPI-
LOT Assist) again to turn the I-BSI system
back on.
SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
When the I-BSI system malfunctions, it will
be turned off automatically, a chime will
sound, and the “Not available System Mal-
function” warning message with the BSW
indicator (orange) will appear in the vehicle
information display.
Action to take:
Stop the vehicle in a safe location, place the
vehicle in the P (Park) position, turn the EV
system off and restart the EV system. If the
“Not available System Malfunction” warning
message with the BSW indicator (orange)
continues to be displayed, have the I-BSI
system checked. It is recommended you
visit a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer for this
service.

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The two radar sensorsO1for the I-BSI sys-
tem are located near the rear bumper. Al-
ways keep the area near the radar sensors
clean.
The radar sensors may be blocked by tem-
porary ambient conditions such as splash-
ing water, mist or fog.
The blocked condition may also be caused
by objects such as ice, frost or dirt ob-
structing the radar sensors.
Check for and remove objects obstructing
the radar sensors. Do not attach stickers (including transpar-
ent material), install accessories or apply
additional paint near the radar sensors.
Do not strike or damage the area around
the radar sensors.
It is recommended you visit a NISSAN cer-
tified LEAF dealer if the area around the
radar sensors is damaged due to a colli-
sion.
The lane camera unit
O2for I-BSI system is
located above the inside mirror. To keep
the proper operation of I-BSI and prevent a
system malfunction, be sure to observe
the following:
• Always keep the windshield clean.
• Do not attach a sticker (including trans- parent material) or install an accessory
near the camera unit.
• Do not place reflective materials, such as white paper or a mirror, on the instru-
ment panel. The reflection of sunlight
may adversely affect the camera unit’s
capability of detecting the lane markers. • Do not strike or damage the areas
around the camera unit. Do not touch the
camera lens or remove the screw located
on the camera unit. It is recommended
that you contact a NISSAN certified LEAF
dealer if the camera unit is damaged due
to an accident.

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use of the RCTA
system could result in serious injury or
death.
• The RCTA system is not a replace-
ment for proper driving procedures
and is not designed to prevent con-
tact with vehicles or objects. When
backing out of a parking space, al-
ways use the side and rear mirrors
and turn and look in the direction
your vehicle will move. Never rely
solely on the RCTA system.
The RCTA system will assist you when
backing out from a parking space. When
the vehicle is in reverse, the system is de-
signed to detect other vehicles approach-
ing from the right or lef t of the vehicle. If the
system detects cross traffic, it will alert you.
REAR CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT (RCTA)

RCTA SYSTEM OPERATION
1. Side Indicator Light
The RCTA system can help alert the driver
of an approaching vehicle when the driver
is backing out of a parking space.
When the shif t position is in R (Reverse) and
the vehicle speed is less than approxi-
mately 5 mph (8 km/h), the RCTA system is
operational.
If the radar detects an approaching vehicle
from either side, the system chimes (once)
and the side indicator light (1) flashes on the
side the vehicle is approaching from.

The RCTA system uses radar sensorsO1
installed on both sides near the rear bum-
per to detect an approaching vehicle.
The radar sensors
O1can detect an ap-
proaching vehicle from up to approxi-
mately 66 f t (20 m) away.
