cruise control NISSAN LEAF 2019 Owner´s Manual

1. System set display with vehicle ahead
2.
System set display without vehicle ahead
The driver sets the desired vehicle speed
based on the road conditions. The ICC sys-
tem maintains the set vehicle speed, simi-
lar to standard cruise control, as long as no
vehicle is detected in the lane ahead. The
ICC system displays the set speed.Vehicle detected ahead
When a vehicle is detected in the lane
ahead, the ICC system decelerates the ve-
hicle by controlling the throttle and apply-
ing the brakes to match the speed of a
slower vehicle ahead. The system then
controls the vehicle speed based on the
speed of the vehicle ahead to maintain the
driver selected distance.
NOTE:
•
The stop lights of the vehicle come on
when braking is performed by the ICC
system.
• When the brake operates, a noise may
be heard. This is not a malfunction.
When a vehicle ahead is detected, the ve-
hicle ahead detection indicator comes on.
The ICC system will also display the set
speed and selected distance. Vehicle ahead not detected
When a vehicle is no longer detected
ahead, the ICC system gradually acceler-
ates your vehicle to resume the previously
set vehicle speed. The ICC system then
maintains the set speed.
When a vehicle is no longer detected, the
vehicle ahead detection indicator turns off.
If a vehicle ahead appears during accelera-
tion to the set vehicle speed or any time the
ICC system is in operation, the system con-
trols the distance to that vehicle.
When a vehicle is no longer detected under
approximately 15 mph (24 km/h), the sys-
tem will be canceled.

CONVENTIONAL (FIXED SPEED)
CRUISE CONTROL MODE
This mode allows driving at a speed be-
tween 25 to 90 mph (40 to 144 km/h) with-
out keeping your foot on the accelerator
pedal.
WARNING
• In the conventional (fixed speed) cruise control mode, a warning
chime does not sound to warn you if
you are too close to the vehicle
ahead, as neither the presence of
the vehicle ahead nor the vehicle-to-
vehicle distance is detected.
• Pay special attention to the distance between your vehicle and the ve-
hicle ahead of you or a collision
could occur.
• Always confirm the setting in the ICC system display.
• Do not use the conventional (fixed speed) cruise control mode when
driving under the following condi-
tions:
– When it is not possible to keep thevehicle at a set speed
– In heavy traffic or in traffic that varies in speed
Starting and driving5-75

– On winding or hilly roads
– On slippery roads (rain, snow, ice,etc.)

mended that you visit a NISSAN certified
LEAF dealer for this service.
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use of the Pro-
PILOT Assist system could result in
serious injury or death.
• ProPILOT Assist is not a self-driving system. Within the limits of its capa-
bilities, as described in this manual,
it helps the driver with certain driv-
ing activities.
• The ProPILOT Assist system is not a replacement for proper driving pro-
cedures and is not designed to cor-
rect careless, inattentive or absent-
minded driving. ProPILOT Assist will
not always steer the vehicle to keep
it in the lane. The ProPILOT Assist
system is not designed to prevent
loss of control. It is the driver’s re-
sponsibility to stay alert, drive
safely, keep the vehicle in the travel-
ing lane, and be in control of the
vehicle at all times. • There are limitations to the ProPILOT
Assist system capability. The Pro-
PILOT Assist system does not func-
tion in all driving, traffic, weather,
and road conditions. It is the driver’s
responsibility to stay alert, drive
safely, keep the vehicle in the travel-
ing lane, and be in control of the
vehicle at all times.
• The ProPILOT Assist system is only an aid to assist the driver and is not a
collision warning or avoidance de-
vice.
• The ProPILOT Assist system is for highway use only and is not in-
tended for city driving. Failure to ap-
ply the brake or steer the vehicle
when necessary may result in a seri-
ous accident.
• Always observe posted speed limits and do not set the speed over them.
• Never take your hands off the steer- ing wheel when driving. Always keep
your hands on the steering wheel
and drive your vehicle safely.
• Never unfasten your safety belt when using ProPILOT Assist. Doing
so automatically cancels the Pro-
PILOT Assist system.

5-82Starting and driving

NOTE:
Steering Assist is not available in the
conventional (fixed speed) cruise con-
trol mode.
•Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode: The ICC system maintains a se-
lected distance 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 between 20 to 90 mph
(32 to 144 km/h). When the vehicle
ahead slows to a stop, your vehicle
gradually decelerates to a standstill.
When the vehicle is stopped, the ICC
system maintains braking force to keep
your vehicle stopped.
NOTE:
When your vehicle is stopped for less
than 3 seconds and the vehicle ahead
begins to move, your vehicle will start
moving again automatically.
– When your vehicle is at a standstill for more than 3 seconds and the vehicle
ahead begins to accelerate, push the
RES+ switch or lightly depress the
accelerator pedal. The ICC system
starts to follow the vehicle ahead.
– When no vehicle is detected ahead within the driver selected distance,
the vehicle travels at the speed set
by the driver. The speed must be
above 20 mph (32 km/h) to use this
function.
NOTE:
Even if the Automatic Emergency
Braking (AEB) setting is turned off by
the driver using the “Settings” menu in
the vehicle information display, AEB
will be automatically turned on when
