lane NISSAN LEAF 2019 Owner´s Manual

• Always pay attention to the opera-tion of the vehicle and be ready to
manually control the proper follow-
ing distance. The ICC system may
not be able to maintain the selected
distance between vehicles (follow-
ing distance) or selected vehicle
speed under some circumstances.
• The system may not detect the ve- hicle in front of you in certain road or
weather conditions. To avoid acci-
dents, never use the ICC system un-
der the following conditions:
– On roads where the traffic is heavyor there are sharp curves
– On slippery road surfaces such as on ice or snow, etc.
– During bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.)
– When rain, snow or dirt adhere to the bumper around the distance
sensor – On steep downhill roads (the ve-
hicle may go beyond the set ve-
hicle speed and frequent braking
may result in overheating the
brakes)
– On repeated uphill and downhill roads
– When traffic conditions make it difficult to keep a proper distance
between vehicles because of fre-
quent acceleration or decelera-
tion
– Interference by other radar sources.
• Do not use the ICC system if you are towing a trailer. The system may not
detect a vehicle ahead.
• In some road or traffic conditions, a vehicle or object can unexpectedly
come into the sensor detection zone
and cause automatic braking. Al-
ways stay alert and avoid using the
ICC system where not recom-
mended in this warning section. The radar sensor will not detect the follow-
ing objects:
• Stationary and slow moving vehicles
• Pedestrians or objects in the roadway
• Oncoming vehicles in the same lane
• Motorcycles traveling offset in the travel
lane
The sensor generally detects the signals
returned from the vehicle ahead. Therefore,
if the sensor cannot detect the reflection
from the vehicle ahead, the ICC system
may not maintain the selected distance.
The following are some conditions in which
the sensor cannot properly detect a ve-
hicle ahead and the system may not oper-
ate properly:
• When snow or road spray from traveling vehicles reduces the sensor’s detection.
• When your vehicle is towing a trailer, etc.
• When excessively heavy baggage is loaded in the rear seat or the cargo area of
your vehicle.
Starting and driving5-69

The ICC system is designed to automati-
cally check the sensor’s operation within
the limitations of the system.
When the sensor is covered with dirt or is
obstructed, the system will automatically
be canceled. If the sensor is covered with
ice, a transparent or translucent vinyl bag,
etc., the ICC system may not detect them.
In these instances, the vehicle-to-vehicle
distance control mode may not cancel and
may not be able to maintain the selected
following distance from the vehicle ahead.
Be sure to check and clean the sensor
regularly.
The detection zone of the radar sensor is
limited. A vehicle ahead must be in the de-
tection zone for the vehicle-to-vehicle dis-
tance detection mode to maintain the se-
lected distance from the vehicle ahead.A vehicle ahead may move outside of the
detection zone due to its position within
the same lane of travel. Motorcycles may
not be detected in the same lane ahead if
they are traveling offset from the center
line of the lane. A vehicle that is entering the
lane ahead may not be detected until the
vehicle has completely moved into the
lane.
If this occurs, the ICC system may warn
you by blinking the system indicator and
sounding the chime. The driver may
have to manually control the proper dis-
tance away from the vehicle traveling
ahead.
5-70Starting and driving

When driving on some roads, such as wind-
ing, hilly, curved, narrow roads, or roads
which are under construction, the ICC sen-
sor may detect vehicles in a different lane,
or may temporarily not detect a vehicle
traveling ahead. This may cause the ICC
system to decelerate or accelerate the
vehicle.
The detection of vehicles may also be af-
fected by vehicle operation (steering ma-
neuver or traveling position in the lane, etc.)
or vehicle condition.
If this occurs, the ICC system may warn
you by blinking the system indicator and
sounding the chime unexpectedly. You
will have to manually control the proper
distance away from the vehicle traveling
ahead.
Starting and driving5-71

• When the shif t lever is not in the D (Drive)or B mode
• When the parking brake is applied
• When the VDC operates (including the traction control system)
• When a wheel slips
When the system is not operating properly,
the chime sounds and the color of the
cruise indicator will change to orange.
Action to take
If the color of the cruise indicator changes
to orange, stop the vehicle in a safe place
and place the shif t lever in the P (Park) po-
sition. Turn the EV system off, restart the EV
system, resume driving, and then perform
the setting again.
If it is not possible to set or the indicator
stays on, it may indicate that the system
is malfunctioning. Although the vehicle
is still drivable under normal conditions,
have the vehicle checked. It is recom-
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.

5-80Starting and driving

• The ProPILOT Assist system does notreact to stationary and slow moving
vehicles.
• Always drive carefully and atten- tively when using the ProPILOT As-
sist system. Read and understand
the Owner’s Manual thoroughly be-
fore using the ProPILOT Assist sys-
tem. To avoid serious injury or death,
do not rely on the system to prevent
accidents or to control the vehicle’s
speed in emergency situations. Do
not use the ProPILOT Assist system
except in appropriate road and traf-
fic conditions. The ProPILOT Assist system is intended to
enhance the operation of the vehicle when
following a vehicle traveling in the same
lane and direction.
The ProPILOT Assist system uses a multi-
sensing front camera unit
Ainstalled be-
hind the windshield and a radar sensor lo-
cated on the front of the vehicle
Bto
measure the distance to the vehicle ahead
in the same lane and to monitor the lane
markers. If the vehicle detects a slower
moving vehicle ahead, the system will re-
duce the vehicle speed so that your vehicle
follows the vehicle in front at the selected distance. The system will also help keep the
vehicle centered in the traveling lane when
clear lane markings are detected.

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.

INTELLIGENT CRUISE CONTROL
(ICC) (FOR VEHICLES WITH
PROPILOT ASSIST)
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
recommended for highway use only
and it is not intended for city driving.
It is the driver’s responsibility to stay
alert, drive safely, and be in control
of the vehicle at all times.
• There are limitations to the ICC sys- tem capability. The ICC system does
not function in all driving, traffic,
weather, and road conditions. It is
the driver’s responsibility to stay
alert, drive safely, keep the vehicle in
the traveling lane, and be in control
of the vehicle at all times.
• Always observe posted speed limits and do not set the speed over them.
Starting and driving5-91

• The ICC system does not react tostationary and slow moving ve-
hicles.
• 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.
ICC system operation
The ICC system is designed to maintain a
selected distance from the vehicle in front
of you and can reduce the speed to match
a slower vehicle ahead. The system decel-
erates the vehicle as necessary and if the
vehicle ahead comes to a stop, the vehicle
decelerates to a standstill. However, the ICC
system can only apply up to 40% of the
vehicle’s total braking power. This system
should only be used when traffic condi-
tions allow vehicle speeds to remain fairly
constant or when vehicle speeds change gradually. If a vehicle moves into the travel-
ing lane ahead or if a vehicle traveling
ahead rapidly decelerates, the distance be-
tween vehicles may become closer be-
cause the ICC system cannot decelerate
the vehicle quickly enough. If this occurs,
the ICC system sounds a warning chime
and blinks the system display to notif y the
driver to take necessary action.
The ICC system cancels and a warning
chime sounds if the speed is below ap-
proximately 15 mph (24 km/h) and a vehicle
is not detected ahead.
The ICC system operates as follows:
• When there are no vehicles traveling
ahead, the ICC system maintains the
speed set by the driver. The set speed
range is between approximately 20 and
90 mph (32 and 144 km/h).
• When there is a vehicle traveling ahead, the ICC system adjusts the speed to
maintain the distance, selected by the
driver, from the vehicle ahead. If the ve-
hicle ahead comes to a stop, the vehicle
decelerates to a standstill. Once your
vehicle stops, the ICC system keeps the
vehicle stopped. • 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 the vehicle traveling ahead moves to a different traveling lane, the ICC system
accelerates and maintains vehicle speed
up to the set speed.
The ICC system does not control vehicle
speed or warn you when you approach
stationary and slow moving vehicles. You
must pay attention to vehicle operation to
maintain proper distance from vehicles
ahead when approaching toll gates or traf-
fic congestion.
