radio NISSAN LEAF 2013 1.G Owner's Manual

Start speaking a command within 5 secondsafter the tone sounds.
Speak in a natural voice without pausing be- tween words.
Giving voice commands
To operate NISSAN Voice Recognition, press
and release the
button located on the
steering wheel. After the tone sounds, speak a
command.
The command given is picked up by the micro-
phone, and voice feedback is given when the
command is accepted.
If you need to hear the available commands for the current menu again, say “Help” and the
system will repeat them.
If a command is not recognized, the system announces, “Command not recognized. Please
try again.”Make sure the command is said ex-
actly as prompted by the system and repeat the
command in a clear voice.
If you want to go back to the previous command, you can say “Go back” or “Correction” any time
the system is waiting for a response.
You can cancel a command when the system is waiting for a response by saying, “Cancel” or “Quit.” The system announces “Cancel” and
ends the VR session. You can also press and
hold the
button on the steering wheel for
5 seconds at any time to end the VR session.
Whenever the VR session is cancelled, a
double beep is played to indicate you have
exited the system.
If you want to adjust the volume of the voice feedback, press the volume control switches (+
or -) on the steering wheel while being provided
with feedback. You can also use the radio vol-
ume control knob.
In most cases you can interrupt the voice feed- back to speak the next command by pressing
the
button on the steering wheel.
To use the system faster, you may speak the second level commands with the main menu
command on the main menu. For example,
press the
button and after the tone say,
“Call Redial.”
How to say numbers
NISSAN Voice Recognition requires a certain
way to speak numbers in voice commands. Refer
to the following rules and examples.
Either “zero” or “oh” can be used for “0”. Example: 1-800-662-6200 – “One eight oh oh six six two six two oh oh”, or
– “One eight zero zero six six two six two oh
oh”
Words can be used for the first 4 digits places only.
Example: 1-800-662-6200
– “One eight hundred six six two six two oh oh”,
– NOT “One eight hundred six six two sixty two hundred,” and
– NOT “One eight oh oh six six two sixty two hundred”
Numbers can be spoken in small groups. The system will prompt you to continue entering
digits, if desired.
Example: 1-800-662-6200
“One eight zero zero”
The system repeats the numbers and prompts
you to enter more.
“six six two”
The system repeats the numbers and prompts
you to enter more.
“six two zero zero”

light. Use a tire pressure gauge to check the tire
pressure.
The CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning ap- pears on the dot matrix liquid crystal display
when the low tire pressure warning light is illu-
minated and low tire pressure is detected. The
CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning turns off
when the low tire pressure warning light turns
off.
The CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning ap-
pears each time the ignition switch is placed in
the ON position as long as the low tire pres-
sure warning light remains illuminated.
The CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning does not
appear if the low tire pressure warning light illu-
minates to indicate a TPMS malfunction.
Tire pressure rises and falls depending on the heat caused by operation of the vehicle and the
outside temperature. A low outside temperature
can decrease the temperature of the air inside
the tire, which can cause a lower tire inflation
pressure. This may cause the low tire pressure
warning light to illuminate. If the warning light
illuminates in low ambient temperature, check
the tire pressure for all four tires.
For additional information, see Low tire pressure
warning light in theInstruments and controls section and
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) in theIn case of emergency section.
WARNING
Radio waves could adversely affect electric medical equipment. Those
who use a pacemaker should contact
the electric medical equipment manu-
facturer for the possible influences be-
fore use.
If the low tire pressure warning light illuminates while driving, avoid sud-
den steering maneuvers or abrupt
braking, reduce vehicle speed, pull off
the road to a safe location and stop the
vehicle as soon as possible. Driving
with under-inflated tires may perma-
nently damage the tires and increase
the likelihood of tire failure. Serious
vehicle damage could occur and may
lead to an accident and could result in
serious personal injury. Check the tire
pressure for all four tires. Adjust the
tire pressure to the recommended
COLD tire pressure shown on the Tire
and Loading Information label to turn
the low tire pressure warning light
OFF. If the tire is flat, repair it as soon
as possible. (See Flat tirein theIn case of emergency
section for chang-
ing a flat tire.)
When a wheel is replaced, the TPMS will not function and the low tire pres-
sure warning light will flash for ap-
proximately 1 minute. The light will re-
main on after 1 minute. Contact a
NISSAN certified LEAF dealer as soon
as possible for tire replacement
and/or system resetting.
Replacing tires with those not origi- nally specified by NISSAN could affect
the proper operation of the TPMS.
If you used the Emergency Tire Sealant to repair a minor tire puncture, your
NISSAN certified LEAF dealer will also
need to replace the TPMS sensor in
addition to repairing or replacing the
tire .
NISSAN recommends using only NISSAN Genuine Emergency Tire
Sealant provided with your vehicle.
Other tire sealants may damage the
valve stem seal which can cause the
tire to lose air pressure.

CAUTION
The TPMS may not function properly when the wheels are equipped with
tire chains or the wheels are buried in
snow.
Do not place metalized film or any metal parts (antenna, etc.) on the win-
dows. This may cause poor reception
of the signals from the tire pressure
sensors, and the TPMS will not func-
tion properly.
Some devices and transmitters may temporarily
interfere with the operation of the TPMS and
cause the low tire pressure warning light to illu-
minate. Some examples are:
Facilities or electric devices using similar radio frequencies that are near the vehicle.
If a transmitter set to similar frequencies is being used in or near the vehicle.
If a computer (or similar equipment) or a DC/AC converter is being used in or near the vehicle. FCC Notice:

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM (TPMS)
This vehicle is equipped with the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) . It monitors tire pres-
sure of all tires. When the low tire pressure warn-
ing light is lit, and the CHECK TIRE PRESSURE
warning appears on the dot matrix liquid crystal
display, one or more of your tires is significantly
under-inflated. If the vehicle is being driven with
low tire pressure, the TPMS will activate and
warn you of it by the low tire pressure warning
light. This system will activate only when the
vehicle is driven at speeds above 16 MPH
(25 km/h) . For more details, see Warning/
indicator lights and audible reminders in the
Instruments and controls section andTire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) in the
Starting and driving section.
WARNING
Radio waves could adversely affect electric medical equipment. Those
who use a pacemaker should contact
the electric medical equipment manu-
facturer for the possible influences be-
fore use. If the low tire pressure warning light
illuminates while driving, avoid sud-
den steering maneuvers or abrupt
braking, reduce vehicle speed, pull off
the road to a safe location and stop the
vehicle as soon as possible. Driving
with underinflated tires may perma-
nently damage the tires and increase
the likelihood of tire failure. Serious
vehicle damage could occur and may
lead to an accident and could result in
serious personal injury. Check the tire
pressure for all four tires. Adjust the
tire pressure to the recommended
COLD tire pressure shown on the Tire
and Loading Information label to turn
the low tire pressure warning light
OFF. If the light still illuminates while
driving after adjusting the tire pres-
sure, a tire may be flat. If you have a
flat tire, repair it as soon as possible.
When a wheel is replaced, the TPMS will not function and the low tire pres-
sure warning light will flash for ap-
proximately 1 minute. The light will re-
main on after 1 minute. Contact a
NISSAN certified LEAF dealer as soon
as possible for tire replacement
and/or system resetting.

REMOVING SPOTS
Remove tar and oil spots, industrial dust, insects,
and tree sap as quickly as possible from the paint
surface to avoid lasting damage or staining. Spe-
cial cleaning products are available at a NISSAN
certified LEAF dealer or any automotive acces-
sory stores.
UNDERBODY
In areas where road salt is used in winter, the
underbody must be cleaned regularly. This will
prevent dirt and salt from building up and causing
the acceleration of corrosion on the underbody
and suspension. Before the winter period and
again in the spring, the underseal must be
checked and, if necessary, re-treated.
GLASS
Use glass cleaner to remove smoke and dust film
from the glass surfaces. It is normal for glass to
become coated with a film after the vehicle is
parked in the hot sun. Glass cleaner and a soft
cloth will easily remove this film.
CAUTION
When cleaning the inside of the win-
dows, do not use sharp-edged tools, abrasive cleaners or chlorine-based dis-
infectant cleaners. They could damage
the electrical conductors, radio antenna
elements or rear window defroster ele-
ments.
SOLAR CELL MODULE (IF SO
EQUIPPED)
The solar cell uses a plastic cover. When clean-
ing the cell:
Do not polish the solar cell using a dry cloth or a
wax that contains a compound. Doing so may
strip off the hard coating.
In order to maintain the solar cell’s effective- ness, be sure to remove any leaves or dirt from
the surface of the cell.
WHEELS
Wash the wheels when washing the vehicle to
maintain their appearance.
Clean the inner side of the wheels when thewheel is changed or the underside of the vehicle
is washed.
Inspect wheel rims regularly for dents or corro- sion. Such damage may cause loss of pressure
or poor seal at the tire bead. NISSAN recommends that the road wheels be
waxed to protect against road salt in areas
where it is used during winter.
CAUTION
Do not use abrasive cleaners when wash-
ing the wheels.
Aluminum alloy wheels
Wash regularly with a sponge dampened in a
mild soap solution, especially during winter
months in areas where road salt is used. Salt
could discolor the wheels if not removed.
CAUTION
Follow the directions below to avoid
staining or discoloring the wheels:
Do not use a cleaner that uses strong acid or alkali contents to clean the
wheels.
Do not apply wheel cleaners to the wheels when they are hot. The wheel
temperature should be the same as
ambient temperature.
Rinse the wheel to completely remove the cleaner within 15 minutes after the
cleaner is applied.

transmitted if vehicle telematics features are ac-
cessed 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 wirelessly
transmits recorded vehicle data to NISSAN for
various purposes, including CARWINGS™ ser-
vices, product evaluation, research and develop-
ment. By pressing OK, you consent to the trans-
mission and use of your vehicle data. See
Owner’s Manual or NISSAN Owner’s portal
webpage for terms and details.” If you press [OK],
your vehicle will transmit data as designed in
connection with the vehicle telematics system. If
you press [Decline] your vehicle will not transmit
data. However, the telematics features refer-
enced above, and perhaps others, will not be
available to you. The vehicle’s static navigation
system will remain operational, and you will be
able to access your radio and climate controls.
Telematics features are dependent on cellular
data transmission. Some areas may have limited
or no cellular connectivity, resulting in a loss orinterruption of data transmission and, as a result,
certain features 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, un-
derground parking, mountainous areas, etc. Even
if the signal strength bar of the in-vehicle data
communication module indicates good recep-
tion, connectivity may be disrupted. This does not
indicate a malfunction. Operate the system again
after a few minutes to restore connectivity. CAR-
WINGS™ telematics 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 incom-
plete or inaccurate data. CARWINGS™ commu-
nications may be received at a verified e-mail
