In addition to Event Data Recorders (EDRs)
mentioned in this Owner's Manual, this ve-
hicle is equipped with electronic modules
that monitor, control and record data con-
cerning various vehicle systems, including
the motor, batteries, braking and electrical
systems. Other electronic modules record
information concerning driving conditions,
including idling, braking, acceleration, trip
and other related data, information about
your use of the car and its features such as
air conditioner or headlight usage, diag-
nostic trouble codes, vehicle charging, ve-
hicle speed, direction and/or location.
Some of this data is stored by the vehicle
for use during vehicle servicing. Other data
concerning your vehicle's operation and
performance is wirelessly transmitted by
cellular connection through the vehicle on-
board telematics system upon vehicle
start-up or at other intervals to NISSAN.
This data may be used by NISSAN for vari-
ous purposes, including: to provide you
with NissanConnect® EV & Services or
NissanConnect® EV with Services powered
by SiriusXM® (For additional information, re-
fer to “NissanConnect® Manual”); trouble-
shooting; evaluation of your vehicle's qual-
ity, functionality and performance; analysis
and research by NISSAN designed to,
among other things, optimize perfor-mance of future electric vehicles including
improvements in future battery life; to offer
you new or additional products or services;
and as otherwise may be required by law.
Such data may be shared with NISSAN's
parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, successors
or assignees; authorized NISSAN certified
LEAF dealers; NISSAN's marketing part-
ners; your fleet company, if your vehicle is a
fleet vehicle; your rental company, if your
vehicle is a rental vehicle; and third party
service providers such as cellular, informa-
tion systems and data management
providers.
State and provincial laws allow access and
use of data recorded by vehicle devices
with the consent of the vehicle owner or
pursuant to subscription agreement. While
you are not required to allow such access
and use, if you do not so agree NISSAN may
be unable under applicable law to activate
the vehicle telematics system in your ve-
hicle, and certain features of your vehicle
which are dependent on vehicle telematics
will not operate as intended or designed.
These may include features such as auto-
matic charging station map updates, re-
mote battery state of charge check, charg-
ing complete notice, remote plug in
reminder, remote charging on, remote cli-
mate control on, drive route planning, driv-ing tips to improve range, driving history,
billing simulation, ECO ranking, ECO forest,
maintenance reminders, etc. Other fea-
tures that may be developed and offered
by NISSAN in the future may also not func-
tion without telematics data transmission.
NissanConnect® EV with Services powered
by SiriusXM® are provided by NISSAN pur-
suant to a subscription services agree-
ment covering your vehicle. This agree-
ment is necessary for all owners. This
agreement, and an explanation of its terms
and conditions, can be found at the NISSAN
Owner’s Portal webpage. Further, the op-
erator of the vehicle must also touch [OK]
on the Navi screen to indicate assent each
time he or she starts the car. If you decide
at any time that you do not want your ve-
hicle to transmit data to NISSAN, you can
deactivate the telematics account associ-
ated with this vehicle by canceling the sub-
scription services agreement by visiting
the NISSAN Owner’s Portal Webpage or
calling NISSAN at 1-877-NOGASEV (1-877-
664-2738). The service can be reactivated
later upon request if you choose. Simply
visit the same website or call the number
above. Alternatively, you can turn off the
transmission of certain categories of data
through the use of settings found in the
navigation system under Menu,
TELEMATICS OVERVIEW (models
with Navigation System)
Technical and consumer information10-17

NissanConnect® EV with Services powered
by SiriusXM®, Vehicle Information Sharing
with NISSAN. Note, turning off “Vehicle Infor-
mation Sharing with NISSAN” will only dis-
able the automatic sharing of information
at vehicle start-up. Certain categories of
data may still be transmitted if vehicle tele-
matics features are accessed either in the
vehicle or remotely.
Your agreement to the transmission and
use of data by NISSAN can be provided in
various ways. The vehicle is equipped with
a “pop up” screen on the vehicle navigation
system that will ask for your consent to this
data transfer. A version of the following
message will appear: “Pursuant to sub-
scription agreement, your vehicle wire-
lessly transmits recorded vehicle data to
NISSAN for various purposes, including
NissanConnect® EV with Services powered
by SiriusXM®, product evaluation, research
and development. By touching OK, you
consent to the transmission and use of
your vehicle data. See Owner's Manual or
NISSAN Owner's portal webpage for terms
and details.” If you touch [OK], your vehicle
will transmit data as designed in connec-
tion with the vehicle telematics system. If
you touch [Decline] your vehicle will not
transmit data. However, the telematics fea-
tures referenced above, and perhaps oth-ers, will not be available to you. The vehicle’s
static navigation system will remain opera-
tional, 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 with Services
powered by SiriusXM® features are offered
as a convenience to the vehicle owner.
NISSAN is not responsible for, and owner
assumes all risk of, interruptions in service
or errors based on incomplete or inaccu-
rate data. NissanConnect® EV with Services
powered by SiriusXM® communications
may be received at a verified e-mail ad-
dress or by SMS/text messaging-enabled
mobile phone. Standard text rates and/or
data usage may apply depending on your
carrier.
If your vehicle’s telematics account is ac-
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
contact NISSAN at the website or phone
number above so that NISSAN’s records
may be updated. NissanConnect® EV with
Services powered by SiriusXM® subscrip-
tion services will automatically terminate
at the end of the initial free term if you do
not wish to renew your subscription agree-
ment at the prices then in effect.

opensource/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 were
operating;
• 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 non-
trivial crash situation occurs; no data are
recorded by the EDR under normal driving
conditions and no personal data (e.g.,
name, gender, age, and crash location) are
recorded. 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, special
equipment is required, and access to the
vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to
the vehicle manufacturer and NISSAN cer-
tified LEAF dealer, other parties, such as law
enforcement, that have the special equip-
ment, 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 otherwise
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-
trivial 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.
EVENT DATA RECORDERS (EDR)
10-20Technical and consumer information

• Detection status of a vehicle ahead andlane 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.
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
safety performance. NISSAN and third parties entrusted by
NISSAN will not disclose/provide the re-
corded data to a third party except:
– 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, 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

- 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
request.
