SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
If the I-LI system malfunctions, it will cancel
automatically. The I-LI system warning light
(orange) will illuminate in the display.
If the I-LI system warning light (orange) illu-
minates in the display, pull off the road to a
safe location and stop the vehicle. Turn the
EV system off and restart the EV system. If
the I-LI system warning light (orange) con-
tinues to illuminate, have the I-LI system
checked. It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN certified LEAF dealer for this ser-
vice.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The lane camera unit1for the I-LI system
is located above the inside mirror. To keep
the proper operation of the I-LI system and
prevent a system malfunction, be sure to
observe the following:
• Always keep the windshield clean.
• Do not attach a sticker (including trans- parent material) or install an accessory
near the camera unit. • Do not place reflective materials, such as
white paper or a mirror, on the instrument
panel. The reflection of sunlight may ad-
versely affect the camera unit’s capability
of detecting the lane markers.
• Do not strike or damage the areas around the camera unit. Do not touch the camera
lens or remove the screw located on the
camera unit. If the camera unit is dam-
aged due to an accident, it is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN certified
LEAF dealer.

BSW SYSTEM OPERATION1. Side Indicator Light
2. BSW IndicatorThe BSW system operates above approxi-
mately 20 mph (32 km/h).
If the radar sensors detect a vehicle in the
detection zone, the side indicator light (1)
illuminates. If the turn signal is then acti-
vated, the system chimes (twice), the side
indicator light flashes, and the BSW indica-
tor (2) illuminates (yellow) in the vehicle in-
formation display. The side indicator light
continues to flash until the detected ve-
hicle leaves the detection zone.
The side indicator light illuminates for a few
seconds when the power switch is placed
in the ON position.
The brightness of the side indicator light is
adjusted automatically depending on the
brightness of the ambient light.
If a vehicle comes into the detection zone
af ter the driver activates the turn signal, then
only the side indicator light flashes and no
chime sounds. For additional information, re-
fer to “BSW driving situations” in this section
The BSW system automatically turns on
every time the EV system is started, as long
as it is activated using the settings menu
on the vehicle information display.

PRECAUTIONS ON CRUISE
CONTROL
• If the cruise control system malfunctions,it cancels automatically. The cruise
indicator in the vehicle information display
then blinks to warn the driver. • If the cruise
indicator blinks, turn the
cruise control switch off and have the sys-
tem checked. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer for this
service.
• The cruise
indicator may blink when
the cruise control switch is turned on
while pushing the RES+, SET- or CANCEL
switch. To properly set the cruise control
system, use the following procedures.
WARNING
Do not use the cruise control 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 var- ies in speed
• 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.
CRUISE CONTROL OPERATIONS
The cruise control allows driving at a speed
between 25 to 90 mph (40 to 144 km/h)
without keeping your foot on the accelera-
tor pedal.
To turn on the cruise control, push the
cruise control switch on. The cruise
indicator in the vehicle information display
will illuminate.
To set the cruising speed, accelerate the
vehicle to the preferred speed, push the
SET- switch and release it. Take your foot off
the accelerator pedal. The 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 on winding or hilly roads. If this hap-
pens, drive without using the cruise
control.

To cancel the preset speed,use one of the
following methods:
1. Push the CANCEL switch.
2. Tap the brake pedal.
3. Turn the cruise control switch off. The cruise
indicator in the vehicle infor-
mation display will turn off.
• If you depress the brake pedal while push- ing the RES+ or SET- switch and reset at
the cruising speed, the cruise control will
disengage. Turn the cruise control switch
off once and then turn it on again.
• The cruise control will automatically can- cel if the vehicle slows more than 8 mph
(13 km/h) below the set speed.
• If you move the shif t lever to the N (Neu- tral) position, the cruise control will be
canceled. To reset at a faster cruising speed,
use
one of the following methods:
• Depress the accelerator pedal. When the vehicle attains the preferred speed, push
and release the SET- switch.
• Push and hold the RES+ switch. When the vehicle attains the preferred speed, re-
lease the switch.
• Push, then quickly release the RES+ switch. Each time you do this, the set speed will
increase by about 1 mph or 1.6 km/h. To reset at a slower cruising speed,
use
one of the following methods:
• Lightly tap the brake pedal. When the ve- hicle attains the preferred speed, push the
SET- switch and release it.
• Push and hold the SET- switch. Release the switch when the vehicle slows down
to the preferred speed.
• Push, then quickly release, the SET- switch. Each time you do this, the set speed will
decrease by about 1 mph or 1km/h.
To resume the preset speed, push and
release the RES+ switch. The vehicle will
resume the last set cruising speed when
the vehicle speed is over 25 mph (40 km/h).

• In the conventional (fixed speed)cruise control mode, a warning
chime will not sound to warn you if
you are too close to the vehicle
ahead. Pay special attention to the
distance between your vehicle and
the vehicle ahead of you or a colli-
sion could occur
The ICC system maintains a selected dis-
tance 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 selected by the driver be-
tween 20 to 90 mph (32 to 144 km/h).
The vehicle travels at a set speed when the
road ahead is clear.
The ICC system can be set to one of two
cruise control modes:
• Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode: For maintaining a selected dis-
tance between your vehicle and the ve-
hicle in front of you up to the present
speed •
Conventional (fixed speed) cruise con-
trol mode: For cruising at a preset speed
Push the ICC switch
Ato choose the
cruise control mode between the vehicle-
to-vehicle distance control mode and the
conventional (fixed speed) cruise control
mode.
Once a control mode is activated, it cannot
be changed to the other cruise control
mode. To change the mode, push the ICC
switch
Aonce to turn the system off. Then
push the ICC switch
Aagain to turn the
system back on and select the desired
cruise control mode.
Always confirm the setting in the ICC sys-
tem display.
For the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode, refer to “Vehicle-to-vehicle distance
control mode” in this section.
For the conventional (fixed speed) cruise
control mode, refer to “Conventional (fixed
speed) cruise control mode” in this section.

and can reduce the speed to match a
slower vehicle ahead. The system will de-
celerate the vehicle as necessary and if the
vehicle ahead comes to a stop, the vehicle
decelerates to a standstill. However, the ICC
system can only apply up to 40% of the
vehicle’s total braking power.
This system should only be used when traffic
conditions allow vehicle speeds to remain
fairly constant or when vehicle speeds
change gradually. If a vehicle moves into the
traveling lane ahead or if a vehicle traveling
ahead rapidly decelerates, the distance be-
tween vehicles may become closer because
the ICC system cannot decelerate the ve-
hicle quickly enough. If this occurs, the ICC
system will sound a warning chime and blink
the system display to notif y the driver to take
necessary action.
The system will cancel and a warning
chime will sound if the speed is below ap-
proximately 15 mph (24 km/h) and a vehicle
is not detected ahead. The system will also
disengage when the vehicle goes above
the maximum set speed.
For additional information, refer to “Ap-
proach warning” in this section.The following items are controlled in the
vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode:
•
When there are no vehicles traveling ahead,
the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode maintains the speed set by the driver.
The set speed range is between approxi-
mately 20 and 90 mph (32 and 144 km/h).
• When there is a vehicle traveling ahead,
the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode adjusts the speed to maintain the
distance, selected by the driver, from the
vehicle ahead. If the vehicle ahead comes
to a stop, the vehicle decelerates to a
standstill within the limitations of the sys-
tem. The system will cancel once it judges
a standstill with a warning chime.
• When the vehicle traveling ahead has moved out from its lane of travel, the
vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode
accelerates and maintains vehicle speed
up to the set speed.
The ICC system does not control vehicle
speed or warn you when you approach
stationary and slow moving vehicles. You
must pay attention to vehicle operation to
maintain proper distance from vehicles
ahead when approaching toll gates or traf-
fic congestion. When driving on the freeway at a set speed
and approaching a slower traveling vehicle
ahead, the ICC system will adjust the speed
to maintain the distance, selected by the
driver, from the vehicle ahead. If the vehicle
ahead changes lanes or exits the freeway,
the ICC system will accelerate and main-
tain the speed up to the set speed. Pay
attention to the driving operation to main-
tain control of the vehicle as it accelerates
to the set speed.
The vehicle may not maintain the set
speed on winding or hilly roads. If this
