2020 NISSAN LEAF Owner´s Manual

Action to take
If the warning light comes on, park the ve-
hicle in a safe place. Turn the EV system off,
restart the EV system, resume driving and
set the ICC system again.
If it is not possible to set the system or
the indicator stays on, it may indicate
that the system is malfunctioning. Al-
though the vehicle is still drivable under
normal conditions, have the vehicle
checked. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer for
this service.SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The sensor for the ICC systemOAis located
on the front of the vehicle.
To keep the ICC system operating properly,
be sure to observe the following:
• Always keep the sensor area clean.
• Do not strike or damage the areas around the sensor.
• Do not attach a sticker (including trans- parent material) or install an accessory
near the sensor. This could cause failure
or malfunction. • Do not attach metallic objects near the
sensor area (brush guard, etc.). This could
cause failure or malfunction.
• 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.

CRUISE CONTROL MODE
This mode allows driving at a speed be-
tween 25 to 90 mph (40 to 144 km/h) with-
out keeping your foot on the accelerator
pedal.
WARNING
• In the conventional (fixed speed)
cruise control mode, a warning
chime does not sound to warn you if
you are too close to the vehicle
ahead, as neither the presence of the
vehicle ahead nor the vehicle-to-
vehicle distance is detected.
• Pay special attention to the distance
between your vehicle and the vehicle
ahead of you or a collision could
occur.
• Always confirm the setting in the ICC
system display.
• Do not use the conventional (fixed
speed) cruise control mode when
driving under the following
conditions:
– When it is not possible to keep the
vehicle at a set speed
– In heavy traffic or in traffic that
varies in speed
Starting and driving5-87

–On winding or hilly roads
– On slippery roads (rain, snow, ice,
etc.)
– In very windy areas
• Doing so could cause a loss of vehicle
control and result in an accident.
Conventional (fixed speed) cruise
control switches
1. CANCEL switch:
Deactivates the system without erasing
the set speed.
2. RES+ switch:
Resumes set speed or increases speed
incrementally.
3. SET- switch:
Sets desired cruise speed or reduces
speed incrementally. 4.
ICC switch:
Master switch to activate the system.

now set your desired cruising speed. Push-
ing the ICC switch again will turn the sys-
tem completely off. When the power switch
is placed in the OFF position, the system is
also automatically turned off.
To use the ICC system again, quickly push
and release the ICC switch (vehicle-to ve-
hicle distance control mode) or push and
hold it (conventional cruise control mode)
again to turn it on.
CAUTION
To avoid accidentally engaging cruise
control, make sure to turn the ICC
switch off when not using the ICC sys-
tem. To set cruising speed, accelerate your ve-
hicle to the desired speed, push the SET- ©
switch and release it. (The color of the
cruise indicator changes to green and set
vehicle speed indicator comes on.) Take
your foot off the accelerator pedal. Your
vehicle will maintain the set speed.
• To pass another vehicle, depress the ac-
celerator pedal. When you release the
pedal, the vehicle will return to the previ-
ously set speed.
• The vehicle may not maintain the set speed when going up or down steep hills.
If this happens, manually maintain ve-
hicle speed. To cancel the preset speed, use any of the
following methods:
1. Push the CANCEL switch. The vehicle
speed indicator will turn off.
2. Tap the brake pedal. The vehicle speed indicator will turn off.
3. Turn the ICC switch off. Both the cruise indicator and vehicle speed indicator will
turn off.
To reset at a faster cruising speed, use one
of the following three methods:
1. Depress the accelerator pedal. When the vehicle attains the desired speed, push
and release the SET- switch.
2. Push and hold the RES+ switch. When the vehicle attains the desired speed,
release the switch.
3. Push, then quickly release the RES+ switch. Each time you do this, the set
speed will increase by about 1 mph (1.6
km/h).

To reset at a slower cruising speed, use one
of the following three methods:
1. Lightly tap the brake pedal. When thevehicle attains the desired speed, push
the SET- switch and release it.
2. Push and hold the SET- switch. Release the switch when the vehicle slows down
to the desired speed.
3. Push, then quickly release the SET- switch. Each time you do this, the set
speed will decrease by about 1 mph (1.6
km/h).
To resume the preset speed, push and re-
lease the RES+ switch. The vehicle will re-
sume the last set cruising speed when the
vehicle speed is over 25 mph (40 km/h).

System temporarily unavailable
A chime sounds under the following condi-
tions and the control is automatically can-
celed:
• When the vehicle slows down more than8 mph (13 km/h) below the set speed
• When the shif t lever is not in the D (Drive) or B mode
• When the parking brake is applied
• When the VDC operates (including the traction control system)
• When a wheel slips
When the system is not operating properly,
the chime sounds and the color of the
cruise indicator will change to orange.
Action to take
If the color of the cruise indicator changes
to orange, stop the vehicle in a safe place
and place the shif t lever in the P (Park) po-
sition. Turn the EV system off, restart the EV
system, resume driving, and then perform
the setting again. If it is not possible to set or the indicator
stays on, it may indicate that the system
is malfunctioning. Although the vehicle
is still drivable under normal conditions,
have the vehicle checked. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN certified
LEAF dealer for this service.
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.
PROPILOT ASSIST (if so equipped)
5-92Starting and driving

•There are limitations to the ProPILOT
Assist system capability. The ProPI-
LOT Assist system does not function
in all driving, traffic, weather, and
road conditions. It is the driver’s re-
sponsibility to stay alert, drive safely,
keep the vehicle in the traveling lane,
and be in control of the vehicle at all
times.
• The ProPILOT Assist system is only an
aid to assist the driver and is not a
collision warning or avoidance
device.
• The ProPILOT Assist system is for
highway use only and is not intended
for city driving. Failure to apply the
brake or steer the vehicle when nec-
essary may result in a serious
accident.
• Always observe posted speed limits
and do not set the speed over them.
• Never take your hands off the steer-
ing wheel when driving. Always keep
your hands on the steering wheel
and drive your vehicle safely.
• Never unfasten your safety belt
when using ProPILOT Assist. Doing so
automatically cancels the ProPILOT
Assist system. •
The ProPILOT Assist system does not
react to stationary and slow moving
vehicles.
• Always drive carefully and atten-
tively when using the ProPILOT Assist
system. Read and understand the
Owner’s Manual thoroughly before
using the ProPILOT Assist system. To
avoid serious injury or death, do not
rely on the system to prevent acci-
dents or to control the vehicle’s
speed in emergency situations. Do
not use the ProPILOT Assist system
except in appropriate road and traffic
conditions.
The ProPILOT Assist system is intended to
enhance the operation of the vehicle when
following a vehicle traveling in the same
lane and direction.
The ProPILOT Assist system uses a multi-
sensing front camera unit
OAinstalled behind
the windshield and a radar sensor located on
the front of the vehicle
OBto measure the
distance to the vehicle ahead in the same lane
and to monitor the lane markers. If the vehicle
detects a slower moving vehicle ahead, the
system will reduce the vehicle speed so that
your vehicle follows the vehicle in front at the
selected distance. The system will also help
keep the vehicle centered in the traveling lane
when clear lane markings are detected.
