2021 NISSAN LEAF Owner´s Manual

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 ProPILOT Assist 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 the vehicle 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).

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use of the AEB
with Pedestrian Detection system
could result in serious injury or death.
• The AEB with Pedestrian Detection
system is a supplemental aid to the
driver. It is not a replacement for the
driver’s attention to traffic condi-
tions or responsibility to drive safely.
It cannot prevent accidents due to
carelessness or dangerous driving
techniques.
• The AEB with Pedestrian Detection
system does not function in all driv-
ing, traffic, weather and road
conditions. The AEB with Pedestrian Detection system
can assist the driver when there is a risk of
a forward collision with the vehicle ahead in
the traveling lane or with a pedestrian
ahead in the traveling lane.
The AEB with Pedestrian Detection system
uses a radar sensor located on the front of
the vehicle
OBto measure the distance to
the vehicle ahead in the same lane. For
pedestrians, the AEB with Pedestrian De-
tection system uses a camera installed be-
hind the windshield
OAin addition to the
radar sensor.

AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
(AEB) WITH PEDESTRIAN DETECTION
Starting and driving5-123

AEB WITH PEDESTRIAN
DETECTION SYSTEM OPERATION1. Vehicle ahead detection indicator
2. AEB with Pedestrian Detection emer-gency warning indicator 3. AEB with Pedestrian Detection system
warning light
The AEB with Pedestrian Detection system
operates at speeds above approximately 3
mph (5 km/h). For the pedestrian detection
function, the AEB with Pedestrian Detec-
tion system operates at speeds between 6
– 37 mph (10 – 60 km/h).
If a risk of a forward collision with a vehicle
is detected, the AEB with Pedestrian Detec-
tion system will first provide a warning to
the driver by flashing the vehicle ahead de-
tection indicator and providing an audible
alert. In addition, the AEB with Pedestrian
Detection system applies partial braking. If
the driver applies the brakes quickly and
forcefully, but the AEB with Pedestrian De-
tection system detects that there is still the
possibility of a forward collision, the system
will automatically increase the braking
force.
If the risk of a collision becomes imminent
and the driver does not take action, the AEB
with Pedestrian Detection system issues
the second warning to the driver by flash-
ing the AEB with Pedestrian Detection
emergency warning indicator (red), provid-
ing an audible warning, and then automati-
cally applies harder braking.
LSD4076
5-124Starting and driving

If a risk of a forward impact with a pedes-
trian is detected, the AEB with Pedestrian
Detection system will provide a warning to
the driver by flashing the AEB with Pedes-
trian Detection emergency warning indica-
tor (red), provides an audible alert and the
system will apply partial braking. If the
driver applies the brakes quickly and force-
fully but the AEB with Pedestrian Detection
system detects that there is still the possi-
bility of a forward impact with a pedestrian,
the system will automatically increase the
braking force. If the risk of collision be-
comes imminent and the driver does not
take action, the AEB with Pedestrian Detec-
tion system automatically applies harder
braking.
NOTE:
The vehicle’s brake lights come on when
any braking is performed by the AEB
with Pedestrian Detection system.
Depending on vehicle speed and distance
to the vehicle or pedestrian ahead, as well
as driving and roadway conditions, the sys-
tem may help the driver avoid a forward
collision or may help mitigate the conse-
quences if a collision should be unavoid-
able. If the driver is handling the steering
wheel, accelerating or braking, the AEB withPedestrian Detection system will function
later or will not function.
The automatic braking will cease under the
following conditions:
• When the steering wheel is turned to
avoid a collision.
• When the accelerator pedal is depressed.
• When there is no longer a vehicle or a pedestrian detected ahead.
If the AEB with Pedestrian Detection sys-
tem has stopped the vehicle, the vehicle
will remain at a standstill for approximately
2 seconds before the brakes are released.

AEB WITH PEDESTRIAN
DETECTION SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for the AEB with Pedestrian Detection
system. Failure to operate the vehicle in
accordance with these system limita-
tions could result in serious injury or
death.
• The AEB with Pedestrian Detection
system cannot detect all vehicles or
pedestrians under all conditions.
• The AEB with Pedestrian Detection
system does not detect the following
objects:
– Small pedestrians (including
small children), animals and
cyclists.
– Pedestrians in wheelchairs or us-
ing mobile transport such as
scooters, child-operated toys, or
skateboards.
– Pedestrians who are seated or
otherwise not in a full upright
standing or walking position.
– Oncoming vehicles
– Crossing vehicles –
Obstacles on the roadside
• The AEB with Pedestrian Detection
system has some performance
limitations.
– If a stationary vehicle is in the ve-
hicle’s path, the AEB with Pedes-
trian Detection system will not
function when the vehicle is
driven at speeds over approxi-
mately 50 mph (80 km/h).
– For pedestrian detection, the AEB
with Pedestrian Detection system
will not function when the vehicle
is driven at speeds over approxi-
mately 37 mph (60 km/h) or below
approximately 6 mph (10 km/h).
• The AEB with Pedestrian Detection
system will not function for pedestri-
ans in darkness or in tunnels, even if
there is street lighting in the area.
• The AEB with Pedestrian Detection
system may not function if the ve-
hicle ahead is narrow (for example, a
motorcycle).
• The AEB with Pedestrian Detection
system may not function if speed dif-
ference between the two vehicles is
too small. •
The radar sensor AEB with Pedes-
trian Detection system may not
function properly or detect a vehicle
ahead in the following conditions:
– Poor visibility (conditions such as
rain, snow, fog, dust storms, sand-
storms, and road spray from other
vehicles)
– Driving on a steep downhill slope
or roads with sharp curves.
– Driving on a bumpy road surface,
such as an uneven dirt road.
– If dirt, ice, snow or other material
is covering the radar sensor area.
– Interference by other radar
sources.
– The camera area of windshield is
fogged up, or covered with dirt,
water drops, ice, snow, etc.
– Strong light (for example, sunlight
or high beams from oncoming ve-
hicles) enters the front camera.
Strong light causes the area
around the pedestrian to be cast
in a shadow, making it difficult to
see.
Starting and driving5-127

–A sudden change in brightness
occurs (for example, when the ve-
hicle enters or exits a tunnel or a
shaded area or lightning flashes).
– The poor contrast of a person to
the background, such as having
clothing color or pattern which is
similar to the background.
– The pedestrian’s profile is partially
obscured or unidentifiable due to
the pedestrian transporting lug-
gage, wearing bulky or very loose
fitting clothing or accessories.
• The system performance may de-
grade in the following conditions:
– The vehicle is driven on a slippery
road.
– The vehicle is driven on a slope.
– Excessively heavy baggage is
loaded in the rear seat or the
cargo area of your vehicle. •
The system is designed to automati-
cally check the sensor’s (radar and
camera) functionality, within certain
limitations. The system may not de-
tect blockage of sensor areas cov-
ered by ice, snow or stickers, for ex-
ample. In these cases, the system
may not be able to warn the driver
properly. Be sure that you check,
clean and clear sensor areas
regularly.
• In some road and traffic conditions,
the AEB with Pedestrian Detection
system may unexpectedly apply par-
tial braking. When acceleration is
necessary, depress the accelerator
pedal to override the system.
• Excessive noise will interfere with the
warning chime sound, and the chime
may not be heard. •
The AEB with Pedestrian Detection
system may react to a person on a
bicycle, detecting as a pedestrian.
• The AEB with Pedestrian Detection
system may operate under the fol-
lowing conditions, detecting the
possibility of a forward collision:
– A vehicle or a person is on the
roadside at the beginning of a
curve.
– A pedestrian approaches the driv-
ing lane in front of the vehicle.
