The I-BSI system uses radar sensorsO1
installed near the rear bumper to detect
other vehicles in an adjacent lane. In addi-
tion to the radar sensors, the I-BSI system
uses a camera
O2installed behind the
windshield to monitor the lane markers of
your traveling lane. The radar sensors can detect vehicles on
either side of your vehicle within the detec-
tion zone shown as illustrated.
The detection zone starts from the outside
mirror of your vehicle and extends approxi-
mately 10f t (3.0m) behind the rear bumper,
and approximately 10f t (3.0 m) sideways.

I-BSI SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for the I-BSI system. Failure to operate
the vehicle in accordance with these
system limitations could result in seri-
ous injury or death.
• The I-BSI system cannot detect all
vehicles under all conditions.
• The radar sensors may not be able to
detect and activate I-BSI when cer-
tain objects are present such as:
– Pedestrians, bicycles, or animals.
– Vehicles such as motorcycles, low
height vehicles, or high ground
clearance vehicles.
– Vehicles remaining in the detec-
tion zone when you accelerate
from a stop. For additional infor-
mation, see “BSI driving situa-
tions” (P. 5-50).
– Oncoming vehicles.
– 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.
• The radar sensors’ 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 camera may not detect lane
markers in the following situations
and the I-BSI system may not oper-
ate properly.
– On roads where there are multiple
parallel lane markers; lane mark-
ers that are faded or not painted
clearly; yellow painted lane mark-
ers; non-standard lane markers;
lane markers covered with water,
dirt, snow, etc.
Starting and driving5-49

–On roads where discontinued lane
markers are still detectable.
– On roads where there are sharp
curves.
– On roads where there are sharply
contrasting objects, such as shad-
ows, snow, water, wheel ruts,
seams or lines remaining af ter
road repairs.
– On roads where the traveling lane
merges or separates.
– When the vehicle’s traveling direc-
tion does not align with the lane
markers.
– When traveling close to the ve-
hicle in front of you, which ob-
structs the lane camera unit de-
tection range.
– When rain, snow or dirt adheres to
the windshield in front of a lane
camera unit.
– When the headlights are not
bright due to dirt on the lens or if
aiming is not adjusted properly.
– When strong light enters a lane
camera unit. (For example: light
directly shines on the front of the
vehicle at sunrise or sunset.) –
When a sudden change in bright-
ness occurs. (For example: when
the vehicle enters or exits a tunnel
or under a bridge.)
• Do not use the I-BSI system under the
following conditions because the
system may not function properly.
– During bad weather (for example:
rain, fog, snow, etc.).
– When driving on slippery roads,
such as on ice or snow, etc.
– When driving on winding or un-
even roads.
– When there is a lane closure due to
road repairs.
– When driving in a makeshif t or
temporary lane.
– When driving on roads where the
lane width is too narrow.
– When driving with a tire that is not
within normal tire conditions (e.g.,
tire wear, low tire pressure, instal-
lation of spare tire, tire chains,
nonstandard wheels).
– When the vehicle is equipped with
non-original brake parts or sus-
pension parts. •
Excessive noise (e.g., audio system
volume, open vehicle window) will in-
terfere with the chime sound, and it
may not be heard.

The ProPILOT Assist system is intended to
enhance the operation of the vehicle when
following a vehicle traveling in the same
lane and direction.
The ProPILOT Assist system uses a multi-
sensing front camera unit
OAinstalled be-
hind the windshield and a radar sensor lo-
cated on the front of the vehicle
OBto
measure the distance to the vehicle ahead
in the same lane and to monitor the lane
markers. If the vehicle detects a slower
moving vehicle ahead, the system will re-
duce the vehicle speed so that your vehicle
follows the vehicle in front at the selected
distance. The system will also help keep the vehicle centered in the traveling lane when
clear lane markings are detected.

If this occurs, the ICC system may warn you
by blinking the system indicator and
sounding the chime. The driver may have
to manually control the proper distance
away from the vehicle traveling ahead.
The ICC system (with ProPILOT Assist) uses
a multi-sensing front camera. The follow-
ing are some conditions in which the cam-
era may not properly detect a vehicle and
detection of a vehicle ahead may be
delayed:
• Poor visibility (conditions such as rain,snow, fog, dust storms, sandstorms, and
road spray from other vehicles)
• The camera area of the windshield is fogged up or covered with dirt, water
drops, ice, snow, etc.
• Strong light (for example, sunlight or high beams from oncoming vehicles) enters
the front camera
• A sudden change in brightness occurs (for example, when the vehicle enters or
exits a tunnel or shaded area or lightning
flashes)

ICC system malfunction
If the ICC system malfunctions, it will be
turned off automatically, a chime will
sound, and the speed control status
warning (orange) will illuminate.
Action to take:
If the warning light comes on, stop the ve-
hicle in a safe place. Turn the EV system off,
restart the EV system and set the ICC sys-
tem again. If it is not possible to set the ICC
system or the indicator stays on, it may be
a malfunction. Although the normal driving
can be continued, the ICC system shouldbe inspected. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer for this
service.
NOTE:
If the ICC system is temporarily unavail-
able, the conventional cruise control
mode may still be used. For additional
information, see “Conventional (fixed
speed) cruise control mode” (P. 5-121)
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 of the front
bumper/emblem clean.
• Do not strike or damage the areas around 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

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.
