2022 NISSAN LEAF Owner´s Manual

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. •
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.
PROPILOT ASSIST (if so equipped)
5-92Starting and driving

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 be-
hind the windshield and a radar sensor lo-
cated 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 re-
duce 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.

PROPILOT ASSIST SYSTEM
OPERATION1. Steering-wheel-mounted control (lef t)
2. Vehicle information display3. Steering-wheel-mounted control (right)
4. ProPILOT Assist switch
The ProPILOT Assist system has the follow-
ing two functions:
1.
Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC)
The ICC system can be set to one of two
cruise control modes: • Conventional (fixed speed) cruise
control mode: For cruising at a preset
speed
NOTE:Steering Assist is not available in the
conventional (fixed speed) cruise con-
trol mode.
• Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode: The ICC system maintains a
selected distance from the vehicle in
front of you within the speed range of
0 to 90 mph (0 to 144 km/h) up to the
set speed. The set speed can be se-
lected by the driver between 20 to 90
mph (32 to 144 km/h). When the ve-
hicle ahead slows to a stop, your ve-
hicle gradually decelerates to a stand-
still. When the vehicle is stopped, the
ICC system maintains braking force to
keep your vehicle stopped.
LSD3658
5-94Starting and driving

NOTE:When your vehicle is stopped for less
than 3 seconds and the vehicle ahead
begins to move, your vehicle will start
moving again automatically.
– When your vehicle is at a standstill for more than 3 seconds and the vehicle
ahead begins to accelerate, push the
RES+ switch or lightly depress the accel-
erator pedal. The ICC system starts to
follow the vehicle ahead.
– When no vehicle is detected ahead within the driver selected distance, the
vehicle travels at the speed set by the
driver. The speed must be above 20 mph
(32 km/h) to use this function.
NOTE:
Even if the Automatic Emergency Brak-
ing (AEB) with Pedestrian Detection set-
ting is turned off by the driver using the
“Settings” menu in the vehicle informa-
tion display, AEB with Pedestrian Detec-
tion will be automatically turned on
when ICC is used. 2.
Steering Assist
The Steering Assist function controls the
steering system to help keep your ve-
hicle within the traveling lane.
When there is no vehicle ahead, Steering
Assist is not available at speeds under
37 mph (60 km/h).
