When restarting the vehicle:
• Af ter the vehicle comes to a stop by thee-Pedal system function, the vehicle re-
mains at a stop as long as the accelerator
pedal is released.
• The vehicle’s brake lights remain illumi- nated when the vehicle is stopped by the
e-Pedal system.
• Depress the accelerator pedal to start the vehicle again from a stop.
When the vehicle needs to be stopped for a
certain period of time, place the vehicle in
the P (Park) position and apply the parking
brake.
CAUTION
When the e-Pedal system is turned off,
remember to depress the brake pedal
firmly to prevent the vehicle from mov-
ing with the shif t lever in any position
other than P (Park). When backing up the vehicle:
• With the shif t lever in the R (Reverse)
position, operating the accelerator pedal
adjusts the vehicle speed (acceleration,
deceleration, or stopping) in the same way
as the D (Drive) position.
Other driving tips for the e-Pedal
system:
• For smooth deceleration when the e-Pedal system is activated, it is recom-
mended that you adjust the accelerator
pedal by either depressing or returning,
not releasing, the pedal.
• Moving the shif t lever from D (Drive) to B mode or from B mode to D (Drive) does
not affect the e-Pedal system feature.
• The e-Pedal system does not function un- der the following conditions: – When the vehicle is placed in the P(Park) or N (Neutral) position
– When cruise control (if so equipped), ProPILOT Assist (if so equipped), or
Automatic Emergency Braking (if so
equipped) operates
E-PEDAL SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limita-
tions for the e-Pedal system. Failure to
operate the vehicle in accordance with
these system limitations could result
in serious injury or death.
• If the “Press brake pedal to prevent rolling” warning message appears in
the vehicle information display, de-
press the brake pedal. The vehicle
may start moving.
• If the deceleration force provided by the e-Pedal system is not sufficient,
depress the brake pedal.
• If the vehicle starts to move while it is stopped by the e-Pedal system,
depress the brake pedal immedi-
ately.
• Under the following conditions, place the vehicle in the P (Park) posi-
tion and make sure the parking
brake is securely applied. The ve-
hicle may start moving suddenly.
– When getting in and out of the ve-hicle
– When loading and unloading the vehicle
5-24Starting and driving

–When the headlights are not bright
due to dirt on the lens or if the aim-
ing is not adjusted properly.
– When strong light enters the lanecamera unit (for example, the light
directly shines on the front of the
vehicle at sunrise or sunset).
– When a sudden change in bright- ness occurs (for example, when
the vehicle enters or exits a tunnel
or under a bridge).
While the I-LI system is operating, you may
hear a sound of brake operation. This is
normal and indicates that the I-LI system is
operating properly.
SYSTEM TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE
Condition A:
The warning and assist functions of the I-LI
system are not designed to work under the
following conditions:
•
When you operate the lane change signal
and change the traveling lanes in the direc-
tion of the signal. (The I-LI system will be
deactivated for approximately 2 seconds
af ter the lane change signal is turned off.)
• When the vehicle speed lowers to less than approximately 37 mph (60 km/h). Af ter the above conditions have finished
and the necessary operating conditions
are satisfied, the warning and assist func-
tions will resume.
Condition B:

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.

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use of the ICC
system could result in serious injury or
death.
• The ICC system is only an aid to as- sist the driver and is not a collision
warning or avoidance device. It is the
driver’s responsibility to stay alert,
drive safely, and be in control of the
vehicle at all times.
• Always observe posted speed limits and do not set the speed over them.
• Always drive carefully and atten- tively when using the ICC system.
Read and understand the Owner’s
Manual thoroughly before using the
ICC system. To avoid serious injury or
death, do not rely on the system to
prevent accidents or to control the
vehicle’s speed in emergency situa-
tions. Do not use the ICC system ex-
cept in appropriate road and traffic
conditions.
INTELLIGENT CRUISE CONTROL (ICC)
(FOR VEHICLES WITHOUT PROPILOT
ASSIST) (IF SO EQUIPPED)
5-56Starting and driving

• 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
