Starting and driving5-13

1. Confirm the parking brake is applied.
2. Confirm that the vehicle is in the P (Park)position.
When the power switch is placed in the
ON position, the EV is designed not to
operate unless the shif t lever is in the P
(Park) or N (Neutral) position.
The Intelligent Key must be carried
with you when operating the power
switch.
3. Depress the brake pedal and push the power switch to place the EV system in
the READY to drive position.
To place the vehicle in the READY to drive
position immediately, push and release

position.
NOTE:
Care should be taken to avoid situations
that can lead to potential battery dis-
charge and potential no-start conditions
such as:
1. Installation or extended use of elec-tronic accessories that consume bat-
tery power when the EV system is not
running (phone chargers, GPS, DVD
players, etc.).
2. The vehicle is not driven regularly and/or only driven short distances.
In these cases, the battery may need to
be charged to maintain battery health.
ELECTRIC SHIFT CONTROL
SYSTEM
This vehicle is electronically controlled to
produce maximum available power and
smooth operation.
The recommended operating procedures
for this vehicle are shown on the following
pages.
Starting the vehicle
1. Af ter placing the vehicle in the READY to drive position, fully depress the foot
brake pedal before moving the shif t lever
to the D (Drive) position.
The shif t lever of this vehicle is de-
signed so that the foot brake pedal
must be depressed before shif ting
from the P (Park) position to any driv-
ing position while the power switch is
in the ON position.
The shif t lever cannot be moved out of
the P (Park) position and into any of
the other positions if the power switch
is placed in the LOCK, OFF or ACC posi-
tion or if the Intelligent Key is re-
moved.
STARTING THE EV SYSTEM DRIVING THE VEHICLE
Starting and driving5-15

NOTE:
• Confirm that the vehicle is in the de-sired shif t position by checking the
shif t indicator
O1located near the shif t
lever or the vehicle information display
in the meter.
• To place the vehicle into the D (Drive) position from the B mode, move the
shif t lever into the D (Drive) position.
Af ter placing the vehicle in the READY to
drive position, fully depress the brake pedal,
and move the shif t lever to any of the pre-
ferred shif t positions.
If the power switch is placed in the OFF or
ACC position for any reason while the shif t
position is in any position other than the P
(Park) position, the power switch cannot be
placed in the LOCK position.
If the power switch cannot be placed in the
LOCK position, perform the following steps:
1. Apply the parking brake when the ve- hicle is stopped.
2. Place the power switch in the ON posi- tion while depressing the foot brake
pedal.
3. Push the P (Park) position switch and confirm the vehicle is in the P (Park)
position. 4. Place the power switch in the OFF
position.NOTE:
The vehicle automatically applies the P
(Park) position when the power switch is
in the OFF position.
When the following conditions overlap,
the shif t position may be automatically
switched to P (Park):
– When maintaining a stop and holdwith the e-pedal.
– When taking off the seatbelt.
– When opening the door.
WARNING
• The shif t lever is always in the center
position when released. When the
power switch is placed in the READY
to drive position, the driver needs to
confirm that the vehicle is in the P
(Park) position. The indicator next to
the “P” by the shif t lever is illumi-
nated and the “P” is displayed on the
meter. If the vehicle is in the D (Drive)
position or R (Reverse) position when
the power switch is placed in the
READY to drive position, this may
cause a sudden start which could re-
sult in an accident.
• On a hilly road, do not allow the ve-
hicle to roll backwards while in the D
(Drive) position or B mode or allow
the vehicle to roll forward while in the
R (Reverse) position. This may cause
an accident.

SYSTEM TEMPORARILY
UNAVAILABLE
When radar blockage is detected, the sys-
tem will be deactivated automatically. The
BSW indicator
O1will blink (yellow) in the
vehicle information display. The indicator
next to “Blind spot” in the “Driving Aids”
menu
O2will also blink (yellow).
The system is not available until the condi-
tions no longer exist.
The radar sensors may be blocked by tem-
porary ambient conditions such as splash-
ing water, mist or fog. The blocked condi-
tion may also be caused by objects such as
ice, frost or dirt obstructing the radar sen-
sors.
NOTE:
If the BSW system stops working, the
RCTA system will also stop working.
Action to take:
When the above conditions no longer exist,
the system will resume automatically.

Malfunction
If the BSW system malfunctions, it will turn
off automatically. The BSW indicator will il-
luminate (yellow) in the vehicle information
display. The indicator next to “Blind spot” in
the “Driving Aids” menu will also illuminate
(yellow).
NOTE:
If the BSW system stops working, the
RCTA system will also stop working.
Action to take:
Stop the vehicle in a safe location, place the
vehicle in the P (Park) position, turn the EV
system off and restart the EV system. If the
indicators continue to appear, have the
system checked. It is recommended that
you visit a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer for
this service.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The two radar sensorsO1for the BSW and
RCTA systems are located near the rear
bumper. Always keep the area near the ra-
dar sensors clean.
The radar sensors may be blocked by tem-
porary ambient conditions such as splash-
ing water, mist or fog.
The blocked condition may also be caused
by objects such as ice, frost or dirt ob-
structing the radar sensors.
Check for and remove objects obstructing
the area around the radar sensors. Do not attach stickers (including transpar-
ent material), install accessories or apply
additional paint near the radar sensors.
Do not strike or damage the area around
the radar sensors. It is recommended that
you visit a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer if
the area around the radar sensors is dam-
aged due to a collision.
