NISSAN LEAF 2022 Owner´s Manual

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
“Not available System Malfunction” warning
message with the BSW indicator (orange)
continues to be displayed, have the I-BSI
system checked. It is recommended you
visit a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer for this
service.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The two radar sensorsO1for the I-BSI sys-
tem are located near the rear bumper. Al-
ways keep the area near the radar 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 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 you visit a NISSAN cer-
tified LEAF dealer if the area around the
radar sensors is damaged due to a
collision.
The lane camera unit
O2for I-BSI system is
located above the inside mirror. To keep
the proper operation of I-BSI 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 areasaround the camera unit. Do not touch the
camera lens or remove the screw located
on the camera unit. It is recommended
that you contact a NISSAN certified LEAF
dealer if the camera unit is damaged due
to an accident.

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use of the RCTA
system could result in serious injury or
death.
• The RCTA system is not a replace-
ment for proper driving procedures
and is not designed to prevent con-
tact with vehicles or objects. When
backing out of a parking space, al-
ways use the side and rear mirrors
and turn and look in the direction
your vehicle will move. Never rely
solely on the RCTA system.
The RCTA system will assist you when
backing out from a parking space. When
the vehicle is in reverse, the system is de-
signed to detect other vehicles approach-
ing from the right or lef t of the vehicle. If the
system detects cross traffic, it will alert you.
RCTA SYSTEM OPERATION
1. Side Indicator Light The RCTA system can help alert the driver
of an approaching vehicle when the driver
is backing out of a parking space.

REAR CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT (RCTA)
5-58Starting and driving

When the shif t position is in R (Reverse) and
the vehicle speed is less than approxi-
mately 5 mph (8 km/h), the RCTA system is
operational.
If the radar detects an approaching vehicle
from either side, the system chimes (once)
and the side indicator light (1) flashes on the
side the vehicle is approaching from.The RCTA system uses radar sensors
O1
installed on both sides near the rear bum-
per to detect an approaching vehicle.
The radar sensors
O1can detect an ap-
proaching vehicle from up to approxi-
mately 66 f t (20 m) away.

disable the RCTA system.
1. Press the
button until “Settings” dis-
plays in the vehicle information display.
Use the
button to select “Driver As-
sistance.” Then press the OK button.
2. Select “Parking Aids” and press the OK button.
3. Select “Cross Traffic” and use the OK but- ton to turn the system on or off.
NOTE:
When enabling/disabling the system,
the system setting will be retained even
if the EV system is restarted.

RCTA SYSTEM LIMITATIONSWARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for the RCTA system. Failure to operate
the vehicle in accordance with these
system limitations could result in seri-
ous injury or death. •
Always check surroundings and turn
to check what is behind you before
backing up. The radar sensors detect
approaching (moving) vehicles. The
radar sensors cannot detect every
object such as:
– Pedestrians, bicycles, motor-
cycles, animals or child-operated
toy vehicles
–
A vehicle that is passing at speeds greater than approximately 19 mph
(30 km/h)
– A vehicle that is passing at speeds
lower than approximately 5 mph
(8 km/h)
• The radar sensors may not detect
approaching vehicles in certain
situations:
– Illustration a: When a vehicle
parked next to you obstructs the
beam of the radar sensor.
–
Illustration b: When the vehicle is parked in an angled parking space.
– Illustration c: When the vehicle is
parked on inclined ground.
– Illustration d: When an approach-
ing vehicle turns into your vehi-
cle’s parking lot aisle.
LSD2887
Starting and driving5-61

–Illustration e: When the angle
formed by your vehicle and ap-
proaching vehicle is small.
• 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 (e.g., audio system
volume, open vehicle window) will in-
terfere with the chime sound, and it
may not be heard.
NOTE:
In the case of several vehicles approach-
ing in a row (Illustration 1) or in the oppo-
site direction (Illustration 2), a chime may
not be sounded by the RCTA system af-
ter the first vehicle passes the sensors.
SYSTEM TEMPORARILY
UNAVAILABLE
When radar blockage is detected, the sys-
tem will be deactivated automatically.
The systems are not available until the
conditions no longer exist.

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 conditions such as ice, snow, frost or dirt
obstructing the radar sensors.
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
When the RCTA system malfunctions, it will
turn off automatically. The “Malfunction:
See Owner’s Manual” warning message will
appear.
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
system does not resume automatically,
have the system checked. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN certified
LEAF dealer for this service.

PRECAUTIONS ON CRUISE
CONTROL
• If the cruise control system malfunctions,it cancels automatically. The cruise
indicator in the vehicle information dis-
play then blinks to warn the driver. • If the cruise
indicator blinks, turn the
cruise control switch off and have the
system checked. It is recommended that
you visit a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer for
this service.
• The cruise
indicator may blink when
the cruise control switch is turned on
while pushing the RES+, SET- or CANCEL
switch. To properly set the cruise control
system, use the following procedures.
WARNING
Do not use the cruise control when driv-
ing under the following conditions:
• When it is not possible to keep the
vehicle at a set speed
• In heavy traffic or in traffic that varies
in speed
• On winding or hilly roads
• On slippery roads (rain, snow, ice,
etc.)
• In very windy areas
Doing so could cause a loss of vehicle
control and result in an accident.
CRUISE CONTROL OPERATIONS
The cruise control allows driving at a speed
between 25 to 90 mph (40 to 144 km/h)
without keeping your foot on the accelera-
tor pedal.
To turn on the cruise control, push the
cruise control switch on. The cruise
indicator in the vehicle information display
will illuminate.
To set the cruising speed, accelerate the
vehicle to the preferred speed, push the
SET- switch and release it. Take your foot off
the accelerator pedal. The vehicle will
maintain the set speed.
• To pass another vehicle, depress the ac-
celerator pedal. When you release the
pedal, the vehicle will return to the previ-
ously set speed.
• The vehicle may not maintain the set speed on winding or hilly roads. If this
happens, drive without using the cruise
control.
To cancel the preset speed, use one of the
following methods:
1. Push the CANCEL switch.
2. Tap the brake pedal.
