10-2Technical and consumer information

In addition to Event Data Recorders (EDRs)
mentioned in this Owner's Manual, this ve-
hicle is equipped with electronic modules
that monitor, control and record data con-
cerning various vehicle systems, including
the motor, batteries, braking and electrical
systems. Other electronic modules record
information concerning driving conditions,
including idling, braking, acceleration, trip
and other related data, information about
your use of the car and its features such as
air conditioner or headlight usage, diag-
nostic trouble codes, vehicle charging, ve-
hicle 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 on-
board telematics system upon vehicle
start-up or at other intervals to NISSAN.
This data may be used by NISSAN for vari-
ous purposes, including: to provide you
with NissanConnect® EV & Services or
NissanConnect® EV with Services powered
by SiriusXM® (For additional information, re-
fer to “NissanConnect® Manual”); trouble-
shooting; evaluation of your vehicle's qual-
ity, functionality and performance; analysis
and research by NISSAN designed to,
among other things, optimize perfor-mance 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, successors
or assignees; authorized NISSAN certified
LEAF dealers; NISSAN's marketing part-
ners; 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, informa-
tion systems and data management
providers.
State and provincial 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 ve-
hicle, 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 auto-
matic charging station map updates, re-
mote battery state of charge check, charg-
ing complete notice, remote plug in
reminder, remote charging on, remote cli-
mate control on, drive route planning, driv-ing tips to improve range, driving history,
billing simulation, ECO ranking, ECO forest,
maintenance reminders, etc. Other fea-
tures that may be developed and offered
by NISSAN in the future may also not func-
tion without telematics data transmission.
NissanConnect® EV with Services powered
by SiriusXM® are provided by NISSAN pur-
suant to a subscription services agree-
ment covering your vehicle. This agree-
ment is necessary for all owners. This
agreement, and an explanation of its terms
and conditions, can be found at the NISSAN
Owner’s Portal webpage. Further, the op-
erator 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 ve-
hicle to transmit data to NISSAN, you can
deactivate the telematics account associ-
ated with this vehicle by canceling the sub-
scription services agreement by visiting
the NISSAN Owner’s Portal Webpage or
calling NISSAN at 1-877-NOGASEV (1-877-
664-2738). The service can be reactivated
later upon request if you choose. Simply
visit the same website or call the number
above. Alternatively, you can turn off the
transmission of certain categories of data
through the use of settings found in the
navigation system under Menu,
