AM radio receptionGUID-F3C8ECE4-EFC7-4ED4-9553-9C805FE5ED54AM signals, because of their low frequency, can
bend around objects and skip along the ground.
In addition, the signals can bounce off the
ionosphere and be bent back to earth. Because
of these characteristics, AM signals are also
subject to interference as they travel from
transmitter to receiver.
Fading: Occurs while the vehicle is passing
through freeway underpasses or in areas with
many tall buildings. It can also occur for several
seconds during ionospheric turbulence even in
areas where no obstacles exist.
Static: Caused by thunderstorms, electrical
power lines, electric signs and even traffic lights.
Satellite radio receptionGUID-2273FD6D-FB06-452C-998D-A63512E7162FWhen the satellite radio is used for the first time
or the battery has been replaced, the satellite
radio may not work properly. This is not a
malfunction. Wait more than 10 minutes with the
satellite radio ON and the vehicle outside of any
metal or large building for the satellite radio to
receive all of the necessary data.
The satellite radio mode requires an active
SiriusXM Satellite Radio subscription. The sa-
tellite radio is not available in Alaska, Hawaii and
Guam.
The satellite radio performance may be affectedif cargo carried on the roof blocks the satellite
radio signal.
If possible, do not put cargo near the satellite
antenna.
A build up of ice on the satellite radio antenna
can affect satellite radio performance. Remove
the ice to restore satellite radio reception.

GUID-3E037282-D6EC-4C54-913F-6E5DC076CCEAIn addition to Event Data Recorders (EDRs)
mentioned in the LEAF Owner's Manual, this
vehicle is equipped with electronic modules that
monitor, control and record data concerning
various vehicle systems, including the motor,
batteries, braking and electrical systems. Other
electronic modules record information concern-
ing driving conditions, including idling, braking,
acceleration, trip and other related data, in-
formation about your use of the car and its
features such as air conditioner or headlight
usage, diagnostic trouble codes, vehicle char-
ging, vehicle speed, direction and/or location.
Some of this data is stored by the vehicle for use
during vehicle servicing. Other data concerning
your vehicle's operation and performance is
wirelessly transmitted by cellular connection
through the vehicle onboard telematics system
upon vehicle start-up or at other intervals to
NISSAN. This data may be used by NISSAN for
various purposes, including: to provide you with
CARWINGS
TMservices (refer to the CAR-
WINGSTMsection of this manual for details);
troubleshooting; evaluation of your vehicle's
quality, functionality and performance; analysis
and research by NISSAN designed to, among
other things, optimize performance of future
electric vehicles including improvements in
future battery life; to offer you new or additional
products or services; and as otherwise may be required by law. Such data may be shared with
NISSAN's parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, suc-
cessors or assignees; authorized NISSAN certi-
fied LEAF dealers; NISSAN's marketing
partners; your fleet company, if your vehicle is
a fleet vehicle; your rental company, if your
vehicle is a rental vehicle; and third party service
providers such as cellular, information systems
and data management providers.
State laws allow access and use of data
recorded by vehicle devices with the consent
of the vehicle owner or pursuant to subscription
agreement. While you are not required to allow
such access and use, if you do not so agree
NISSAN may be unable under applicable law to
activate the vehicle telematics system in your
vehicle, and certain features of your vehicle
which are dependent on vehicle telematics will
not operate as intended or designed. These may
include features such as automatic charging
station map updates, remote battery state of
charge check, charging complete notice, remote
plug in reminder, remote charging on, remote
climate control on, drive route planning, driving
tips to improve range, driving history, billing
simulation, ECO ranking, ECO forest, mainte-
nance reminders, etc. Other features that may
be developed and offered by NISSAN in the
future may also not function without telematics
data transmission.CARWINGS
TMtelematics services are provided
by NISSAN pursuant to a subscription services
agreement covering your vehicle. This agree-
ment is necessary for all owners. This agree-
ment, and an explanation of its terms and
conditions, can be found at the NISSAN Own-
er's Portal webpage. Further, the operator of the
vehicle must also touch [OK] on the Navi screen
to indicate assent each time he or she starts the
car. If you decide at any time that you do not
want your vehicle to transmit data to NISSAN,
you can deactivate the telematics account
associated with this vehicle by canceling the
subscription services agreement by visiting the
NISSAN Owner's Portal Webpage or calling
NISSAN at 1-877-NOGASEV (1-877-664-

The driving range cannot be displayed. The power switch is in the ACC position.The driving range can be displayed when the power
switch is in the ON position or when the READY to drive
indicator light is on.
It cannot be displayed because the distance to empty is
too short. Charge the battery. Once the distance to empty
increased it will be displayed.
The driving range is displayed in an oval shape. As a result of the system correcting latitude and longitude, it may not be displayed as a circle.This is not a malfunction.
The distance to empty that is displayed in the lower left
hand side of the driving range and the scale of the map
do not match. As the map is displayed in 2D, the distance to empty
may differ from the actual distance on the road.
This is not a malfunction.
