high beam NISSAN LEAF 2021 Owner´s Manual

NOTE:
If the driver lightly touches (instead of
firmly grips) the steering wheel, the
steering torque sensor may not detect
the driver’s hand(s) on the wheel and a
sequence of warnings may occur. When
the driver holds and operates the steer-
ing wheel again, the warnings turn off.
Steering Assist limitations
WARNING
• In the following situations, the cam-
era may not detect lane markers cor-
rectly or may detect lane markers in-
correctly and the Steering Assist may
not operate properly:
– When driving on roads where
there are multiple parallel lane
markers, lane markers that are
faded or not painted clearly, non-
standard lane markers, or lane
markers covered with water, dirt,
snow, etc.
– When driving on roads with dis-
continued lane markers
– When driving on roads with a wid-
ening or narrowing lane width –
When driving on roads where
there are multiple lanes or unclear
lane markers due to road
construction
– When driving on roads where
there are sharply contrasting ob-
jects, such as shadows, snow, wa-
ter, wheel ruts, seams, or lines re-
maining af ter road repairs (the
Steering Assist could detect these
items as lane markers)
– When driving on roads where the
traveling lane merges or
separates
• Do not use the Steering Assist under
the following conditions because the
system may not properly detect lane
markers. Doing so could cause a loss
of vehicle control and result in an
accident.
– During bad weather (rain, fog,
snow, dust, etc.)
– When rain, snow, sand, etc., is
thrown up by the wheels of other
vehicles
– When dirt, oil, ice, snow, water, or
another object adheres to the
camera unit –
When the lens of the camera unit
is foggy
– When strong light (for example,
sunlight or high beams from on-
coming vehicles) shines on the
camera
– When the headlights are not
bright due to dirt on the lens or
the headlights are off in tunnels or
in darkness
– When a sudden change in bright-
ness occurs (for example, when
the vehicle enters or exits a tunnel
or is under a bridge)
– When driving on roads where the
traveling lane merges or sepa-
rates or where there are tempo-
rary lane markers because of road
construction
– When there is a lane closure due to
road repairs
– When driving on a bumpy road
surface, such as an uneven dirt
road
– When driving on sharp curves or
winding roads
– When driving on repeated uphill
and downhill roads

AEB WITH PEDESTRIAN
DETECTION SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for the AEB with Pedestrian Detection
system. Failure to operate the vehicle in
accordance with these system limita-
tions could result in serious injury or
death.
• The AEB with Pedestrian Detection
system cannot detect all vehicles or
pedestrians under all conditions.
• The AEB with Pedestrian Detection
system does not detect the following
objects:
– Small pedestrians (including
small children), animals and
cyclists.
– Pedestrians in wheelchairs or us-
ing mobile transport such as
scooters, child-operated toys, or
skateboards.
– Pedestrians who are seated or
otherwise not in a full upright
standing or walking position.
– Oncoming vehicles
– Crossing vehicles –
Obstacles on the roadside
• The AEB with Pedestrian Detection
system has some performance
limitations.
– If a stationary vehicle is in the ve-
hicle’s path, the AEB with Pedes-
trian Detection system will not
function when the vehicle is
driven at speeds over approxi-
mately 50 mph (80 km/h).
– For pedestrian detection, the AEB
with Pedestrian Detection system
will not function when the vehicle
is driven at speeds over approxi-
mately 37 mph (60 km/h) or below
approximately 6 mph (10 km/h).
• The AEB with Pedestrian Detection
system will not function for pedestri-
ans in darkness or in tunnels, even if
there is street lighting in the area.
• The AEB with Pedestrian Detection
system may not function if the ve-
hicle ahead is narrow (for example, a
motorcycle).
• The AEB with Pedestrian Detection
system may not function if speed dif-
ference between the two vehicles is
too small. •
The radar sensor AEB with Pedes-
trian Detection system may not
function properly or detect a vehicle
ahead in the following conditions:
– Poor visibility (conditions such as
rain, snow, fog, dust storms, sand-
storms, and road spray from other
vehicles)
– Driving on a steep downhill slope
or roads with sharp curves.
– Driving on a bumpy road surface,
such as an uneven dirt road.
– If dirt, ice, snow or other material
is covering the radar sensor area.
– Interference by other radar
sources.
– The camera area of windshield is
fogged up, or covered with dirt,
water drops, ice, snow, etc.
– Strong light (for example, sunlight
or high beams from oncoming ve-
hicles) enters the front camera.
Strong light causes the area
around the pedestrian to be cast
in a shadow, making it difficult to
see.

6. Door mirror turn signal light (if soequipped)
7. Cargo light
8. License plate light
9. Fog light (if so equipped)
Fog may temporarily form inside the lens
of the exterior lights in the rain or in a car
wash. A temperature difference between
the inside and the outside of the lens
causes the fog. This is not a malfunction. If
large drops of water collect inside the lens,
it is recommended that you visit a NISSAN
certified LEAF dealer for this service.
HEADLIGHTS
If headlight bulb replacement is required, it
is recommended that you visit a NISSAN
certified LEAF dealer for this service.
Replacing the LED headlight bulb
(if so equipped)
If LED headlight bulb replacement is neces-
sary, it is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN certified LEAF dealer for this
service.
Replacing the halogen headlight
bulb (if so equipped)
The headlight is a semi-sealed beam type
that uses a headlight (halogen) bulb. If bulb
replacement is required, it is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN certified
LEAF dealer.
CAUTION
• Do not leave the bulb out of the head-
light reflector for a long period of
time. Dust, moisture, smoke, etc. en-
tering the headlight body may affect
bulb performance
• High-pressure halogen gas is sealed
inside the halogen bulb. The bulb
may break if the glass envelope is
scratched or the bulb is dropped.
• Only touch the base when handling
the bulb. Never touch the glass enve-
lope. Touching the glass envelope
could significantly affect bulb life
and/or headlight performance.
• Aiming is not necessary af ter replac-
ing the bulb. When aiming adjust-
ment is necessary, it is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN
certified LEAF dealer for this service. •
Fog may temporarily form inside the
lens of the exterior lights in the rain
or in a car wash. A temperature dif-
ference between the inside and the
outside of the lens causes the fog. If
large drops of water collect inside
the lens, it is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer.
Use the same number and wattage as
originally installed as shown in the chart.
FOG LIGHTS (if so equipped)
For additional information on fog light bulb
replacement, refer to the instruction out-
lined in this section
Replacing the fog light bulb
If fog light bulb replacement is required, it is
recommended that you visit a NISSAN cer-
tified LEAF dealer for this service.
