INTELLIGENT CRUISE CONTROL
(ICC) (for vehicles with ProPILOT
Assist)
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use of the ICC sys-
tem could result in serious injury or
death. •
The ICC system is only an aid to assist
the driver and is not a collision warn-
ing or avoidance device. It is recom-
mended 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.
• The ICC system does not react to sta-
tionary and slow-moving vehicles.

ICC sensor maintenance
The radar sensor is located on the front of
the vehicle.
To keep the ICC system operating properly,
be sure to observe the following:
• Always keep the sensor area clean.
• Do not strike or damage the areasaround the sensor.
• Do not attach a sticker (including trans- parent material) or install an accessory
near the sensor. This could cause failure
or malfunction.
• Do not attach metallic objects near the sensor area (brush guard, etc.). This could
cause failure or malfunction.
• Do not alter, remove, or paint the front bumper.
Before customizing or restoring the front
bumper, it is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN certified LEAF dealer.
The camera sensor is located above the
inside mirror.
To keep the proper operation of the sys-
tems and prevent a system malfunction,
be sure to observe the following:
• Always keep the windshield clean. • Do not attach a sticker (including trans-
parent material) or install an accessory
near the camera unit.
• Do not place reflective materials, such as white paper or a mirror, on the instru-
ment panel. The reflection of sunlight
may adversely affect the camera unit’s
capability of detecting the lane markers.
• Do not strike or damage the areas around the camera unit. Do not touch the
camera lens or remove the screw located
on the camera unit.
If the camera unit is damaged due to an
accident, it is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN certified LEAF dealer.
STEERING ASSIST
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use of the Steer-
ing Assist could result in serious injury
or death. •
The Steering Assist is not a replace-
ment for proper driving procedures
and is not designed to correct care-
less, inattentive or absent-minded
driving. The Steering Assist will not
always steer the vehicle to keep it in
the lane. It 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 traveling lane,
and be in control of the vehicle at all
times.
• As there is a performance limit to the
Steering Assist’s capability, never
rely solely on the system. The Steer-
ing Assist does not function in all
driving, traffic, weather, and road
conditions. Always drive safely, pay
attention to the operation of the ve-
hicle, and manually control your ve-
hicle appropriately.
• The Steering Assist is intended for
use on well-developed freeways or
highways with gentle (moderate)
curves. To avoid risk of an accident,
do not use this system on local or
non-highway roads.
5-112Starting and driving

•The Steering Assist only steers the
vehicle to maintain its position in the
center of a lane. The vehicle will not
steer to avoid objects in the road in
front of the vehicle or to avoid a ve-
hicle moving into your lane.
• 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. Never take
your hands off the steering wheel
when driving. Always keep your
hands on the steering wheel and
drive your vehicle safely.
• Always drive carefully and atten-
tively when using the Steering Assist.
Read and understand the Owner’s
Manual thoroughly before using the
Steering Assist. To avoid serious in-
jury or death, do not rely on the sys-
tem to prevent accidents or to con-
trol the vehicle’s speed in emergency
situations. Do not use the Steering
Assist except in appropriate road and
traffic conditions.Steering Assist operation
The Steering Assist controls the steering
system to help keep your vehicle near the
center of the lane when driving. The Steer-
ing Assist is combined with the Intelligent
Cruise Control (ICC) system. For additional
information, see “Intelligent Cruise Control
(ICC) (with ProPILOT Assist)” (P. 5-102).
The Steering Assist can be activated when
the following conditions are met:
• The ICC system is activated.
• Lane markers on both sides are clearly detected.
• A vehicle ahead is detected (when the vehicle is driven at speeds under 37 mph
[60 km/h]).
• The driver grips the steering wheel.
• The vehicle is driven at the center of the lane.
• The turn signals are not operated.
• The windshield wiper is not operated in the high (HI) speed operation (the steer-
ing assist function is disabled af ter the
wiper operates for approximately 10
seconds).

When the Steering Assist is in operation,
the Steering Assist status indicator (1), the
Steering Assist indicator (2), and the lane
marker indicator (3) on the vehicle informa-
tion display turn green. A chime sounds
when the Steering Assist initially activates. When the Steering Assist deactivates, the
Steering Assist status indicator (1), the
Steering Assist indicator (2), and the lane
marker indicator (3) on the vehicle informa-
tion display turn gray and a chime sounds
twice.
Intelligent Lane Intervention (I-LI)
When a curve or strong cross wind exceeds
the capabilities of the Steering Assist and
your vehicle approaches either the lef t or
the right side of the traveling lane, a warn-
ing chime sounds and the I-LI indicator
light (orange) on the instrument panel
flashes to alert the driver. Then, the I-LI sys-
tem automatically applies the brakes for a
short period of time to help assist the
driver to return the vehicle to the center of
the traveling lane. This action is in addition
to any Steering Assist actions.
5-114Starting and driving

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.

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
