will not transmit data. However, the telem-
atics features referenced above, and per-
haps others, will not be available to you. The
vehicle’s static navigation system will re-
main operational, and you will be able to
access your radio and climate controls.
Telematics features are dependent on cel-
lular data transmission. Some areas may
have limited or no cellular connectivity, re-
sulting in a loss or interruption of data
transmission and, as a result, certain fea-
tures may be temporarily unavailable. Even
if areas with good signal reception, cellular
connectivity can be adversely affected by
things such as tall buildings, apartments,
tunnels, underground parking, mountain-
ous areas, etc. Even if the signal strength
bar of the in-vehicle data communication
module indicates good reception, connec-
tivity may be disrupted. This does not indi-
cate a malfunction. Operate the system
again af ter a few minutes to restore con-
nectivity.NissanConnect® EV & Services or
NissanConnect® Services telematics fea-
tures are offered as a convenience to the
vehicle owner. NISSAN is not responsible
for, and owner assumes all risk of, interrup-
tions in service or errors based on incom-
plete or inaccurate data. NissanConnect®

messaging-enabled mobile phone. Stan-
dard text rates and/or data usage may ap-
ply depending on your carrier.

tive, and you are not the original owner,
please contact NISSAN at the website or
phone number above as soon as possible
to update the telematics enrollment infor-
mation. Upon sale of the vehicle, please

Technical and consumer information9-19

This vehicle is equipped with an Event Data
Recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an
EDR is to record, in certain crash or near
crash-like situations, such as an air bag
deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data
that will assist in understanding how a ve-
hicle’s systems performed. The EDR is de-
signed to record data related to vehicle dy-
namics and safety systems for a short
period of time, typically 30 seconds or less.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to re-
cord such data as:
• How various systems in your vehicle wereoperating;
• Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/fastened;
• How far (if at all) the driver was depress- ing the accelerator and/or brake pedal;
and,
• How fast the vehicle was traveling.
• Sounds are not recorded.
These data can help provide a better un-
derstanding of the circumstances in which
crashes and injuries occur.NOTE:
• EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a nontrivial crash situation oc-
curs; no data are recorded by the EDR
under normal driving conditions and
no personal data (for example, name,
gender, age and crash location) are re-
corded. However, other parties, such as
law enforcement, could combine the
EDR data with the type of personally
identif ying data routinely acquired
during a crash investigation.
• To read data recorded by an EDR, spe- cial equipment is required and access
to the vehicle or the EDR is needed. In
addition to the vehicle manufacturer
and NISSAN certified LEAF dealer, other
parties, such as law enforcement, that
have the special equipment, can read
the information if they have access to
the vehicle or the EDR. EDR data will
only be accessed with the consent of
the vehicle owner or lessee or as other-
wise required or permitted by law.
ADDITIONAL DATA RECORDING (on
vehicles equipped with optional
ProPILOT Assist)
If your vehicle is equipped with the optional
ProPILOT Assist, it will also be equipped
with supplemental data recording function
intended to assist in understanding how
ProPILOT Assist performs in certain non-
trival crash or near-crash scenarios. Spe-
cifically, supplemental recording is de-
signed to capture the following:
• Driver operational status of the accelera-tor, brakes, steering, etc.
• Detection status of a vehicle ahead and lane markers
• Vehicle information including distance to vehicle ahead and lateral position
• Information on the operation of the Pro- PILOT Assist and other crash avoidance
features
• ProPILOT Assist malfunction diagnosis information
• External images from the multi-sensing front camera (Available only when the
SRS air bag or IEB system is activated)
The ProPILOT Assist does not record con-
versations, sounds or images of the inside
of the vehicle.
EVENT DATA RECORDERS (EDR)

To read this supplemental data, special
equipment is required and access to the
vehicle or the recording unit is needed. This
supplemental data will only be accessed
with the consent of the vehicle owner or
lessee or as otherwise required or permit-
ted by law. If downloaded, NISSAN and third
parties entrusted by
NISSAN may use the data recorded for the
purpose of improving NISSAN’s vehicle

corded data to a third party except:
– With the consent of the vehicle owner orwith the consent of the lessee
– In response to an official request from law enforcement, court order, govern-
mental agency, or other legally enforce-
able request.
– For research purposes af ter the data is modified such that it is no longer tied to a
specific vehicle or vehicle owner (anony-
mized)
- With the consent of the vehicle owner or
with the consent of the lessee - In response to an official request from law
enforcement, court order, governmental
agency, or other legally enforceable re-
quest.
