NOTE:
Do not hang any objects over the sen-
sors
O1or apply glass cleaner to the sen-
sors. Doing so will reduce the sensitivity
of the sensors, resulting in improper
operation.
The indicator light
O2will illuminate when
the automatic anti-glare feature is
operating.
To turn off the automatic anti-glare feature,
press the O button. The indicator light
will turn off.
To turn on the automatic anti-glare feature
again, press the | button again. The in-
dicator light will turn on.
For additional information, see “HomeLink®
Universal Transceiver” (P. 2-69).
OUTSIDE MIRRORS
The outside mirror remote control will op-
erate only when the power switch is in the
ACC or ON position.
Turn the switch
O1to select the lef t or right
mirror then adjust each mirror to the de-
sired position using the control switch
O2.
Return the small switch
O1to the center
(neutral) position to prevent accidentally
moving the mirror.
WARNING
• Objects viewed in the outside mirror
on the passenger side are closer than
they appear. Be careful when moving
to the right. Using only this mirror
could cause an accident. Use the in-
side mirror or glance over your
shoulder to properly judge distances
to other objects.
• Do not adjust the mirrors while driv-
ing. You could lose control of your ve-
hicle and cause an accident.

NOTE:
• A series of operation sounds may beheard immediately af ter climate con-
trol ON/OFF operation. This is not a
malfunction.
• Compressor and motor fan may sud- denly start to operate during charging
operation. This is not a malfunction.
• Condensation forms inside the air con- ditioning unit when the air conditioner
is running, and is safely discharged un-
derneath your vehicle. Traces of water
on the ground are therefore normal.
Water may drop underneath the ve-
hicle when climate control is operating.
DISPLAYING CLIMATE CONTROL
SYSTEM STATUS SCREEN (models
with navigation system)
The climate control system status screen
can be displayed as a widget. For details of
the widget, refer to the NissanConnect®
Manual.
NOTE:
• If the READY to drive indicator light isilluminated and the EVSE (Electric Ve-
hicle Supply Equipment) is connected
to the vehicle, the power switch will
change to the ON position. At the same
time, the climate control system will
stop operating. However, the fan will
continue to operate. If you want to turn
on climate control again, place the
power switch in the OFF position and
then place it in the ON position again
af ter confirming that the vehicle has
started charging.
• When the power switch is in the ON position, if the power supply from the
EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equip-
ment) is interrupted due to an electri-
cal outage, etc., the system will operate
in the following ways.– If it occurs while charging is being performed:
The climate control system will stop
once. If the power supply is restored
within approximately 5 minutes, the
climate control system will restart.
However, if more than 5 minutes have
elapsed, the climate control system
will not restart.
–
If it occurs af ter charging has finished:The climate control system will stop.
OPERATING TIPS
• The automatic climate control is equipped with sensors as illustrated. The
sensors
OAandOBhelp maintain a con-
stant temperature. Do not put anything
on or around these sensors.

•When using a wheel without the
TPMS such as the spare tire, the TPMS
will not function and the low tire
pressure warning light will flash for
approximately 1 minute. The light will
remain on af ter 1 minute. Have your
tires replaced and/or TPMS system
reset as soon as possible. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN cer-
tified LEAF dealer for this service.
• Replacing tires with those not origi-
nally specified by NISSAN could af-
fect the proper operation of the
TPMS.
• Do not inject any tire liquid or aerosol
tire sealant into the tires, as this may
cause a malfunction of the tire pres-
sure sensors.
CAUTION
• The TPMS may not function properly
when the wheels are equipped with
tire chains or the wheels are buried in
snow. •
Do not place metalized film or any
metal parts (antenna, etc.) on the
windows. This may cause poor re-
ception of the signals from the tire
pressure sensors, and the TPMS will
not function properly.
Some devices and transmitters may tem-
porarily interfere with the operation of the
TPMS and cause the low tire pressure
warning light to illuminate. Some examples
are:
• Facilities or electric devices using similar radio frequencies that are near the
vehicle.
• If a transmitter set to similar frequencies is being used in or near the vehicle.
• If a computer (or similar equipment) or a DC/AC converter is being used in or near
the vehicle.
The low tire pressure warning light may
illuminate in the following cases:
• If the vehicle is equipped with a wheel and tire without TPMS.
• If the TPMS has been replaced and the ID has not been registered.
• If the wheel is not originally specified by NISSAN. FCC Notice:

5-6Starting and driving

• If the shif t lever is moved to the P (Park)position when the brake force is main-
tained by the automatic brake hold
function, the electronic parking brake
will apply automatically.
• If the driver’s seat belt is unfastened when the brake force is maintained by
the automatic brake hold function, the
electronic parking brake will apply
automatically.
• When the ICC system (if so equipped) is canceled under the following condi-
tions at a standstill, the electronic
parking brake is automatically
activated:– Any door is open.
– The driver’s seat belt is not fastened.
– Your vehicle has been stopped by the ICC system for approximately 3
minutes or longer.
– The shif t lever is not in the D (Drive) position or B mode.
– The Vehicle Dynamic Control system is turned off.
– When distance measurement be- comes impaired due to adhesion of
dirt or obstruction to the sensor.
– When the radar signal is temporarily interrupted.
Manual operation
The electronic parking brake will not be au-
tomatically applied if the EV system is
stopped without using the power switch
(for example, by EV system stalling). In such
a case, you have to apply the parking brake
manually.
To apply: Pull the switch up
O1. The indica-
tor light
OAwill illuminate.
To release: With the power switch in the ON
position, depress the brake pedal and push
the switch down
O2. The indicator lightOA
will turn off. Before driving, check that the electronic
parking brake indicator light (
or PARK)
goes out. For additional information, see
“Warning lights, indicator lights and audible
reminders” (P. 2-14).
NOTE:
• A buzzer will sound if the vehicle is driven without releasing the parking
brake. For additional information, see
“Warning lights, indicator lights and
audible reminders” (P. 2-14).
• While the electronic parking brake is applied or released, an operating
sound is heard from the lower side of
the rear seat. This is normal and does
not indicate a malfunction.
• When the electronic parking brake is frequently applied and released in a
short period of time, the parking brake
may not operate in order to prevent the
parking brake system from overheat-
ing. If this occurs, operate the elec-
tronic parking brake switch again af ter
waiting approximately 1 minute.

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use of the BSW
system could result in serious injury or
death.
• The BSW system is not a replacement
for proper driving procedures and is
not designed to prevent contact with
vehicles or objects. When changing
lanes, always use the side and rear
mirrors and turn and look in the di-
rection your vehicle will move to en-
sure it is safe to change lanes. Never
rely solely on the BSW system.
The BSW system helps alert the driver of
other vehicles in adjacent lanes when
changing lanes. The BSW system uses radar sensors
O1
installed near the rear bumper to detect
other vehicles in an adjacent lane.
The radar sensors can detect vehicles on
either side of your vehicle within the detec-
tion zone shown as illustrated. This detec-
tion zone starts from the outside mirror of
your vehicle and extends approximately
10 f t (3.0 m) behind the rear bumper, and
approximately 10 f t (3.0 m) sideways.

BSW SYSTEM OPERATION
1. Side Indicator Light
2. BSW IndicatorThe BSW system operates above approxi-
mately 20 mph (32 km/h).If the radar sensors detect a vehicle in the
detection zone, the side indicator light (1)
illuminates. If the turn signal is then acti-
vated, the system chimes (twice), the side
indicator light flashes, and the BSW indica-
tor (2) illuminates (yellow) in the vehicle in-
formation display. The side indicator light
continues to flash until the detected ve-
hicle leaves the detection zone.
The side indicator light illuminates for a few
seconds when the power switch is placed
in the ON position.
The brightness of the side indicator light is
adjusted automatically depending on the
brightness of the ambient light.
If a vehicle comes into the detection zone
af ter the driver activates the turn signal,
then only the side indicator light flashes
and no chime sounds. For additional infor-
mation, see “BSW driving situations”
(P. 5-40).
The BSW system automatically turns on
every time the EV system is started, as long
as it is activated using the settings menu
on the vehicle information display.

BSW SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for the BSW system. Failure to operate
the vehicle in accordance with these
system limitations could result in seri-
ous injury or death.
• The BSW system cannot detect all ve-
hicles under all conditions.
• The radar sensors may not be able to
detect and activate BSW when cer-
tain objects are present such as:
– Pedestrian, bicycles, animals.
– Vehicles such as motorcycles, low
height vehicles, or high ground
clearance vehicles.
– Oncoming vehicles.
– Vehicles remaining in the detec-
tion zone when you accelerate
from a stop.
– A vehicle merging into an adjacent
lane at a speed approximately the
same as your vehicle.
– A vehicle approaching rapidly
from behind.
– A vehicle which your vehicle over-
takes rapidly. –
A vehicle that passes through the
detection zone quickly.
– When overtaking several vehicles
in a row, the vehicles af ter the first
vehicle may not be detected if
they are traveling close together.
• The radar sensor’s detection zone is
designed based on a standard lane
width. When driving in a wider lane,
the radar sensors may not detect ve-
hicles in an adjacent lane. When driv-
ing in a narrow lane, the radar sen-
sors may detect vehicles driving two
lanes away.
• The radar sensors are designed to ig-
nore most stationary objects; how-
ever, objects such as guardrails,
walls, foliage and parked vehicles
may occasionally be detected. This is
a normal operation condition.
• The following conditions may reduce
the ability of the radar to detect other
vehicles:
– Severe weather
– Road spray
– Ice/frost/dirt/snow build-up on
the vehicle •
Do not attach stickers (including
transparent material), install acces-
sories or apply additional paint near
the radar sensors. These conditions
may reduce the ability of the radar to
detect other vehicles.
• Excessive noise (for example, audio
system volume, open vehicle win-
dow) will interfere with the chime
sound, and it may not be heard.
