NISSAN LEAF 2019 Owner´s Manual

• Underneath the bumper and thecorner areas of the bumper cannot
be viewed on the RearView Monitor
because of its monitoring range
limitation. The system will not show
small objects below the bumper,
and may not show objects close to
the bumper or on the ground.
• Objects viewed in the RearView Monitor differ from actual distance
because a wide-angle lens is used.
• Objects in the RearView Monitor will appear visually opposite compared
to when viewed in the rearview and
outside mirrors.
• Use the displayed lines as a refer- ence. The lines are highly affected by
the number of occupants, fuel level,
vehicle position, road conditions
and road grade.
• Make sure that the rear hatch is se- curely closed when backing up.
• Do not put anything on the rearview camera. The rearview camera is in-
stalled above the license plate. • When washing the vehicle with high
pressure water, be sure not to spray
it around the camera. Otherwise,
water may enter the camera unit
causing water condensation on the
lens, a malfunction, fire or an electric
shock.
• Do not strike the camera. It is a pre- cision instrument. Otherwise, it may
malfunction or cause damage re-
sulting in a fire or an electric shock.
The following are operating limitations and
do not represent a system malfunction:
• When the temperature is extremely high or low, the screen may not clearly display
objects.
• When strong light directly shines on the camera, objects may not be displayed
clearly.
• Vertical lines may be seen in objects on the screen. This is due to strong reflected
light from the bumper.
• The screen may flicker under fluorescent light. • The colors of objects on the RearView
Monitor may differ somewhat from the
actual color of objects.
• Objects on the monitor may not be clear in a dark environment.
• There may be a delay when switching be- tween views.
• If dirt, rain or snow accumulate on the camera, RearView Monitor may not dis-
play objects clearly. Clean the camera.
• Do not use wax on the camera lens. Wipe off any wax with a clean cloth dampened
with a diluted mild cleaning agent, then
wipe with a dry cloth.

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use of the Intelli-
gent Around View Monitor system
could result in serious injury or death.
INTELLIGENT AROUND VIEW
MONITOR (IF SO EQUIPPED)
4-14Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems

• The Intelligent Around View Monitoris a convenience feature and is not a
substitute for proper vehicle opera-
tion because it has areas where ob-
jects cannot be viewed. The four cor-
ners of the vehicle in particular, are
areas where objects do not always
appear in the bird’s-eye, front, or
rear views. Always check your sur-
roundings to be sure that it is safe to
move before operating the vehicle.
Always operate the vehicle slowly.
• The driver is always responsible for safety during parking and other ma-
neuvers.
CAUTION
Do not scratch the camera lens when
cleaning dirt or snow from the front of
the camera.
The Intelligent Around View Monitor sys-
tem is designed as an aid to the driver in
situations such as slot parking or parallel
parking. The monitor displays various
views of the position of the vehicle in a split
screen format. Not all views are available at
all times. Available views:
• Front View
The view of the front of the vehicle.
• Rear View The view of the rear of the vehicle.
• Bird’s-Eye View The surrounding views of the vehicle
from above.
• Front-Side View The view around and ahead of the front
passenger’s side wheel.
• Full screen rear view The view to the rear of the vehicle (which
is a little wider than the standard rear
view). To display the multiple views, the Intelligent
Around View Monitor system uses cam-
eras located in the front grille, on the vehi-
cle’s outside mirrors and one just above
the vehicle’s license plate
1.

WARNING
• The distance guide lines and the ve- hicle width lines should be used as a
reference only when the vehicle is on
a paved, level surface. The apparent
distance viewed on the monitor may
be different than the actual distance
between the vehicle and displayed
objects. • Use the displayed lines and the
bird’s eye view as a reference. The
lines and the bird’s-eye view are
greatly affected by the number of
occupants, cargo, fuel level, vehicle
position, road condition and road
grade.
• If the tires are replaced with differ- ent sized tires, the predictive course
lines and the bird’s-eye view may be
displayed incorrectly.
• When driving the vehicle up a hill, objects viewed in the monitor are
further than they appear. When driv-
ing the vehicle down a hill, objects
viewed in the monitor are closer
than they appear.
• Objects in the rear view will appear visually opposite compared to when
viewed in the rear view and outside
mirrors.
• Use the mirrors or actually look to properly judge distances to other
objects.
• On a snow-covered or slippery road, there may be a difference between
the predictive course lines and the
actual course line. • The vehicle width and predictive
course lines are wider than the ac-
tual width and course.
• The displayed lines will appear slightly off to the right, because the
rearview camera is not installed in
the rear center of the vehicle.

Indicate the predicted course when oper-
ating the vehicle. The predictive course
lines will be displayed on the monitor when
the steering wheel is turned. The predictive
course lines will move depending on how
much the steering wheel is turned and
may not be displayed while the steering
wheel is in the straight-ahead position. The front view will not be displayed when
the vehicle speed is above 6 mph (10 km/h).
NOTE:
When the monitor displays the front
view and the steering wheel turns
about 90 degrees or less from the
straight-ahead position, both the right
and lef t predictive course lines
6are
displayed. When the steering wheel
turns about 90 degrees or more, a line
is displayed only on the opposite side
of the turn.

Birds-eye view:
The bird’s-eye view shows the overhead
view of the vehicle, which helps confirm the
vehicle position and the predicted course
to a parking space. The vehicle icon
1
shows the position of the vehicle. Note that
the apparent distance between objects
viewed in the bird’s-eye view may differ
somewhat from the actual distance to the
vehicle.
The areas that the cameras cannot cover
2are indicated in black.Af ter the EV system is placed in the ON
position, the non-viewable areas
2are
highlighted in yellow for several seconds
af ter the bird’s-eye view is displayed. It will
be shown only the first time af ter the
power switch is placed in the ON position.
WARNING
• Objects in the bird’s-eye view will appear further than the actual dis-
tance.
• Tall objects, such as a curb or vehicle, may be misaligned or not displayed
at the seam of the views.
• Objects that are above the camera cannot be displayed.
• The view for the bird’s-eye view may be misaligned when the camera po-
sition alters.
• A line on the ground may be mis- aligned and is not seen as being
straight at the seam of the views.
The misalignment will increase as
the line proceeds away from the ve-
hicle.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PREDICTED
AND ACTUAL DISTANCES
The displayed guidelines and their loca-
tions on the ground are for approximate
reference only. Objects on uphill or downhill
surfaces or projecting objects will be actu-
ally located at distances different from
those displayed in the monitor relative to
the guidelines (refer to illustrations). When
in doubt, turn around and view the objects
as you are backing up, or park and exit the
vehicle to view the positioning of objects
behind the vehicle.
Backing up on a steep uphill
When backing up the vehicle up a hill, the
distance guide lines and the vehicle width
guide lines are shown closer than the actual
distance. Note that any object on the hill is
further than it appears on the monitor.
Backing up on a steep downhill
When backing up the vehicle down a hill, the
distance guide lines and the vehicle width
guide lines are shown farther than the actual
distance. Note that any object on the hill is
closer than it appears on the monitor.

Backing up near a projecting
object
The predictive course lines (if so equipped)
Ado not touch the object in the display.
However, the vehicle may hit the object if it
projects over the actual backing up course.
Backing up behind a projecting
object
The positionCis shown farther than the
position
Bin the display. However, the po-
sition
Cis actually at the same distance as
the position
A. The vehicle may hit the object when backing up to the position
A
if the object projects over the actual back-
ing up course.
HOW TO PARK WITH PREDICTIVE
COURSE LINES
WARNING
• If the tires are replaced with differ- ent sized tires, the predictive course
lines may be displayed incorrectly.
• On a snow-covered or slippery road, there may be a difference between
the predictive course line and the
actual course line.
• If the battery is disconnected or be- comes discharged, the predictive
course lines may be displayed incor-
rectly. If this occurs, please perform
the following procedures:
- Turn the steering wheel from lock
to lock while the EV (electric vehicle)
system is running.
- Drive the vehicle on a straight road
for more than 5 minutes.
• When the steering wheel is turned with the power switch in the ACC po-
sition, the predictive course lines
may be displayed incorrectly.
