Nissan Leaf (2024 year). Manual in english

WARNING

Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use of the Moving
object Detection (MOD) system could
result in serious injury or death.

•

The MOD system is not a substitute
for proper vehicle operation and is
not designed to prevent contact
with objects surrounding the vehicle.
When maneuvering, always use the
outside mirrors and rearview mirror
and turn and check the surroundings
to ensure it is safe to maneuver.

•

The system is deactivated at speeds
above 5 mph (8 km/h). It is reacti-
vated at lower speeds.

•

The MOD system is not designed to de-
tect surrounding stationary objects.

The MOD system can inform the driver of
moving objects near the vehicle when
backing out of garages, maneuvering in
parking lots and in other such instances.

The MOD system detects moving objects
by using image processing technology on
the image shown in the display.

MOD SYSTEM OPERATION

The MOD system will turn on automatically
under the following conditions:
• When the shift lever is in the R (Reverse)

position.

• When vehicle speed decreases below

approximately 5 mph (8 km/h) and the
camera screen is displayed.

The MOD system operates in the following
conditions when the camera view is dis-
played:
• When the shift position is in the P (Park) or

N (Neutral) position and the vehicle is
stopped, the MOD system detects mov-
ing objects in the bird’s-eye view. The
MOD system may not operate if the out-
side mirrors are moving in or out, in the
stowed position, or if either front door is
opened.

• When the shift lever is in the D (Drive)

position and the vehicle speed is below
approximately 5 mph (8 km/h), the MOD
system detects moving objects in the
front view.

• When the shift lever is in the R (Reverse)

position and the vehicle speed is below
approximately 5 mph (8 km/h), the MOD
system detects moving objects in the
rear view. The MOD system will not oper-
ate if the rear hatch is open.

The MOD system does not detect moving
objects in the front-side view. The MOD
icon is not displayed on the screen when in
this view.

When the MOD system detects moving ob-
jects near the vehicle, a chime will be heard
and a yellow frame will be displayed on the
view where the objects are detected. While
the MOD system continues to detect mov-
ing objects, the yellow frame continues to
be displayed.

NOTE:

While the Rear Cross Traffic Alert chime is
beeping, the MOD system does not chime.

In the bird’s-eye view, the yellow frame

in accordance with these system limi-
tations could result in serious injury or
death.

•

Excessive noise (for example, audio
system volume or open vehicle win-
dow) will interfere with the chime
sound, and it may not be heard.

•

The MOD system performance will be
limited according to environmental
conditions and surrounding objects
such as:

–

When there is low contrast be-

tween background and the mov-
ing objects.

–

When there is a blinking source of

light.

–

When strong light such as another

vehicle’s headlight or sunlight is
present.

–

When camera orientation is not in

its usual position, such as when
a mirror is folded.

–

When there is dirt, water drops or

snow on the camera lens.

–

When the position of the moving ob-

jects in the display is not changed.

•

The MOD system might detect flow-
ing water droplets on the camera
lens, white smoke from the muffler,
moving shadows, etc.

•

The MOD system may not function
properly depending on the speed,
direction, distance or shape of the
moving objects.

•

If your vehicle sustains damage to
the parts where the camera is in-
stalled, leaving it misaligned or bent,
the sensing zone may be altered and
the MOD system may not detect ob-
jects properly.

•

When the temperature is extremely
high or low, the screen may not dis-
play objects clearly. This is not a mal-
function.

Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems

NOTE:

The blue MOD icon will change to orange
if one of the following has occurred:
• When the system is malfunctioning.
• When the component temperature

reaches a high level (icon will blink).

• When the RearView camera has de-

tected a blockage (icon will blink).

If the icon light continues to illuminate
orange, have the MOD system checked. It
is recommended that you visit a NISSAN
certified LEAF dealer for this service.

WARNING

•

The air conditioning cooling function
operates only when the power switch
is in the ON position or when the
READY to drive indicator light is ON.

•

Do not leave children or adults who
would normally require the assis-
tance of others alone in your vehicle.
Pets should also not be left alone.
They could accidentally injure them-
selves or others through inadvertent
operation of the vehicle. Also, on hot,
sunny days, temperatures in a closed
vehicle could quickly become high
enough to causes severe or possibly
fatal injuries to people or animals.

•

Do not use the recirculation mode for
long periods as it may cause the inte-
rior air to become stale and the win-
dows to fog up.

NOTE:
• Odors from inside and outside the ve-

hicle can build up in the air conditioner
unit. Odor can enter the passenger
compartment through the vents.

• When parking, set the heater or air

conditioner controls to turn off air re-
circulation to allow fresh air into the
passenger compartment. This should
help reduce odors inside the vehicle.

The climate control system (air conditioner
and heater functions) can be operated
when the READY to drive indicator light is
illuminated. However, while charging, the
climate control system can be used when
the power switch is in the ON position.

The fan, heater and air conditioning can be
turned on manually, using the timer func-
tion and using the remote climate control
function.

These functions operate in the following
conditions.

NOTE:
• A series of operation sounds may be

heard immediately after 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 is

illuminated 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
after 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 after charging has finished:

The climate control system will stop.

OPERATING TIPS

• The

automatic

climate

control

equipped with sensors as illustrated. The
sensors

and

help maintain a con-

stant temperature. Do not put anything
on or around these sensors.

• Power consumption of the climate con-

trol system varies depending on the out-
side temperature and the temperature
set for the climate control system. Power
consumption increases if the interior
temperature is cooled down too much in
summer or if it warmed up too much in
winter. This will result in a reduced driving
range.

pressed when the AUTO indicator illumi-
nates, the AUTO indicator will be turned
off.

• If the charge connector is connected to

the vehicle when it is in the READY to drive
mode and the air conditioner or heater
is on, the power switch automatically
changes to the ON position. Place the
power switch in the off position to begin
charging. Turn on the desired climate
control function.

• For normal charge, the climate control

system is operative when charging op-
eration is complete. For quick charge
however, the climate control system
stops operating when charging opera-
tion stops.

• The climate control timer or remote cli-

mate control (for models with Navigation
System) may fog up windows depending
on the set temperature or outside
temperature.

• When turning on the seat heater (if so

equipped) switch prior to operating the
climate control timer or the remote cli-
mate control (for models with Navigation
System), the seat heater will also turn on
automatically when the outside tem-
perature is low.

IN-CABIN MICROFILTER

The climate control system is equipped
with an in-cabin microfilter which collects
dirt, dust etc. To make sure the air condi-
tioner heats defogs, and ventilates effi-
ciently, replace the filter regularly. To re-
place the filter, it is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer.

The filter should be replaced if the air flow
decreases significantly or if windows fog
up easily when operating the climate con-
trol system.

CLIMATE CTRL. TIMER

This function pre-heats or pre-cools the
passenger compartment of the vehicle to
the temperature before driving. This helps
reduce power consumption from the Li-ion
battery.

The Climate Ctrl. Timer operates the air
conditioner using power from the charger
or the Li-ion battery. While the charging

connector is connected to the vehicle,
electric power from the Li-ion battery is not
used.

The Climate Ctrl. Timer function allows two
timer settings.

Once the Climate Ctrl. Timer is set, it will
complete air conditioning by the time that
is set. It is not necessary to set the Climate
Ctrl. Timer every day.

WARNING

Even if the Climate Ctrl. Timer is set, the
temperature in the passenger com-
partment may become high or low if
the system automatically stops. Do not
leave children or adults who would nor-
mally require the support of others
alone in your vehicle. Pets should not
be left alone either. On hot, sunny days,
temperatures in a closed vehicle could
quickly become high enough to cause
severe or possibly fatal injuries to
people or animals. Also on cold days,
temperature in a vehicle could become
low enough to cause severe or possible
fatal injuries to people or animals.

the Climate Ctrl. Timer indicator and the
charging status indicator lights flash. If the
Climate Ctrl. Timer is set to activate, the
Climate Ctrl. Timer indicator illuminates.*

• If the Climate Ctrl. Timer starts operating

while the vehicle is being charged, the
time required for charging will be longer.

• Operating the Climate Ctrl. Timer or re-

mote climate control in an environment
where the temperature is low may de-
crease the rate of battery charge.

• Timer setting can also be changed while

Climate Ctrl. Timer is operated. When the
power position is switched to OFF, the air
conditioner starts or enters waiting mode
depending on the new timer settings.

• When the difference in temperature be-

tween the air conditioner setting tem-
perature and the temperature outside
the vehicle is large, the temperature in-
side the vehicle may not be maintained
at the setting temperature.

• The charging status indicator lights illu-

minate in a specific pattern when the
Li-ion battery warmer operates. The
charging status indicator lights use the
same pattern to indicate 12–volt battery
charging, Climate Ctrl. Timer operation
or Remote Climate Control operation.
The charging status indicator lights do
not change if the Li-ion battery warmer
operates at the same time as the above
features.

• The temperature in the passenger com-

partment may not be comfortable if
entering the vehicle too soon before or
too long after the scheduled time of
departure.

• Air conditioning is limited to the capacity

of the electric power when the charge
connector is connected. Therefore, the
temperature may not reach the set tem-
perature due to limitations in air condi-
tioning performance, if ambient tem-
perature is excessively high or low, or if
the charge connector is connected to a
120–volt plug outlet.

• The Climate Ctrl. Timer operates the cli-

mate control function so that a comfort-
able temperature is provided in the pas-
senger compartment at the scheduled
time of departure. The climate control
is set to stop at the scheduled time of
departure.

• Depending on the facilities of charging

station, there may be time when it is not
available for charging. Confirm the avail-
ability of the charging facility before set-
ting the Climate Ctrl. Timer. Be sure that
the power switch of the charger is turned
on when setting the Climate Ctrl. Timer.

• When the power switch is turned OFF after

changing the setting, the new setting will

Remote climate control

This vehicle incorporates a communica-
tion device that is called a TCU (Telematics
Control Unit). The communication connec-
tion between this unit and Nissan Data
Center allows for various remote function
services.

Even when away from the vehicle, climate
control can be started by accessing the
Web Owner Portal using a cellular phone or
a personal computer.

When operation is started, or at the set
start time, the Nissan Data Center ac-
cesses the vehicle. When the vehicle re-
ceives a command for remote operation,
the climate control immediately turns ON
and operates for the specified period of
time. Confirmation of the ON/OFF of the
climate control operation can be checked
by accessing the Web Owner Portal, or by
e-mail.

Completing registration for the Nissan
Connect® EV Services is necessary before
using the service. For additional informa-
tion, refer to the NissanConnect® Manual.

WARNING

•

Radio waves could adversely affect
electric medical equipment. For ad-
ditional information, refer to your
electric medical equipment manu-
facturer for the possible effect on
pacemakers before using the remote
climate control.

•

Even if the remote climate control is
set, the temperature in the passen-
ger room may become high if the
system automatically stops. Do not
leave children or adults who would
normally require the support of oth-
ers alone in your vehicle. Pets should
not be left alone either. On hot, sunny
days, temperatures in a closed ve-
hicle could quickly become high
enough to cause severe or possibly
fatal injuries to people or animals.

NOTE:
• To check the Li-ion battery charging

status using an internet enabled smart
phone or personal computer.

– The vehicle must be located in a cel-

lular phone coverage area.

– The cellular phone must be located in

an area with cellular phone coverage.

– The computer must be connected to

the internet.

• Some cellular phones are not compat-

ible with this system and cannot be
used to check the Li-ion battery charg-
ing status. Confirm this beforehand.

Operating tips

• When the charge connector is con-

nected, the climate control operates us-
ing electric power. When the charge con-
nector is disconnected from the vehicle,
the climate control operates using ve-
hicle battery electric power.

• The climate control can be operated for a

maximum of 2 hours when the charge
connector is connected to the vehicle,
or a maximum of 15 minutes when the
charge connector is disconnected.

• The remote climate control will only start

to operate when the power switch is in
the LOCK/OFF or ACC position.

• Remote climate control operation is not

available when the vehicle is in an area of
cellular communication range.

• Communication becomes unavailable

when the vehicle is not used for two
weeks or more. When the power switch is
placed in the ON position, communica-
tion with the Nissan Data Center can be
restored.

• Air conditioning is limited to the capacity

of the electric power when the charge
connector is connected to the vehicle.
Therefore, the temperature may not
reach a comfortable level due to per-
formance of the air conditioning being
limited, if the outside temperature is ex-
cessively high or low, or if the charge con-
nector is connected to a 110 – 120-volt
outlet.

• If the power switch is in the ON position or

the charge connector is disconnected,
while the remote climate control is being
operated, remote climate control opera-
tion is automatically stopped and an
e-mail is sent.

• If remote climate control operation is

started while the vehicle is in normal
charge mode, the climate control oper-
ates in climate control priority mode and
charging is continued.

4-42

Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems

• If remote climate control operation is

started and charging is stopped while
the vehicle is in quick charge mode, cli-
mate control operation is also stopped.

• If the quick charge connector is con-

nected and charging is not performed,
remote climate control operation starts
using the battery electric power of the
vehicle.

Servicing climate control

The climate control system in your NISSAN
is charged with a refrigerant designed with
the environment in mind. This refrigerant
will not harm the earth’s ozone layer. Spe-
cial charging equipment and lubricant are
required when servicing your NISSAN cli-
mate control. Using improper refrigerants
or lubricants will cause severe damage to
your climate control system. For additional
information, see “Recommended fluids/
lubricants and capacities” (P. 10-2).

It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN
certified LEAF dealer to service your environ-
mentally friendly climate control system.

The vehicle is equipped with a shark fin
antenna.

When installing a CB, ham radio or car
phone in your vehicle, be sure to observe
the following precautions; otherwise, the
new equipment may adversely affect the
EV control system and other electronic
parts.

WARNING

•

A cellular phone should not be used for
any purpose while driving so full at-
tention may be given to vehicle opera-
tion. Some jurisdictions prohibit the
use of cellular phones while driving.

•

If you must make a call while your
vehicle is in motion, the hands-free
cellular phone operational mode is
highly recommended. Exercise ex-
treme caution at all times so full atten-
tion may be given to vehicle operation.

•

If you are unable to devote full atten-
tion to vehicle operation while talk-
ing on the phone, pull off the road to
a safe location and stop your vehicle.

WARNING

•

Do not leave children or adults who
would normally require the support
of others alone in your vehicle. Pets
should not be left alone either. They
could accidentally injure themselves
or others through inadvertent opera-
tion of the vehicle. Also, on hot, sunny
days, temperatures in a closed ve-
hicle could quickly become high
enough to cause severe or possibly

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM (TPMS)

Each tire, including the spare (if provided),
should be checked monthly when cold and
inflated to the inflation pressure recom-
mended by the vehicle manufacturer on
the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure
label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different
size than the size indicated on the vehicle
placard or tire inflation pressure label, you

should determine the proper tire inflation
pressure for those tires.)

As an added safety feature, your vehicle
has been equipped with a Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) that illuminates
a low tire pressure telltale when one or
more of your tires is significantly under-
inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire
pressure telltale illuminates, you should
stop and check your tires as soon as pos-
sible, and inflate them to the proper pres-
sure. Driving on a significantly under-
inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and
can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also
reduces power efficiency and tire tread life,
and may affect the vehicle’s handling and
stopping ability.

Please note that the TPMS is not a substi-
tute for proper tire maintenance, and it is
the driver’s responsibility to maintain cor-
rect tire pressure, even if under-inflation
has not reached the level to trigger illumi-
nation of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale.

Your vehicle has also been equipped with a
TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate
when the system is not operating properly.
The TPMS malfunction indicator is com-
bined with the low tire pressure telltale.
When the system detects a malfunction,
the telltale will flash for approximately one

minute and then remain continuously illu-
minated. This sequence will continue upon
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as
the malfunction exists. When the malfunc-
tion indicator is illuminated, the system
may not be able to detect or signal low tire
pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions
may occur for a variety of reasons, includ-
ing the installation of replacement or alter-
nate tires or wheels on the vehicle that
prevent the TPMS from functioning prop-
erly. Always check the TPMS malfunction
telltale after replacing one or more tires or
wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the
replacement or alternate tires and wheels
allow the TPMS to continue to function
properly.

Additional information

• When using a wheel without the TPMS

such as the spare tire, the TPMS does not
monitor the tire pressure of the spare tire.

• The TPMS will activate only when the

vehicle is driven at speeds above 16 mph
(25 km/h). Also, this system may not de-
tect a sudden drop in tire pressure (for
example, a flat tire while driving).

PRECAUTIONS WHEN STARTING AND
DRIVING

5-4

Starting and driving

• The low tire pressure warning light does

not automatically turn off when the tire
pressure is adjusted. After the tire is in-
flated to the recommended pressure, the
vehicle must be driven at speeds above
16 mph (25 km/h) to activate the TPMS
and turn off the low tire pressure warning
light. Use a tire pressure gauge to check
the tire pressure.

• The “Tire Pressure Low - Add Air” warning

also appears on the vehicle information
display when the low tire pressure
warning light is illuminated and low tire
pressure is detected. The “Tire Pressure
Low - Add Air” warning turns off when the
low tire pressure warning light turns off.

• The “Tire Pressure Low - Add Air” warning

appears each time the power switch is
placed in the ON position as long as the
low tire pressure warning light remains
illuminated.

• The “Tire Pressure Low - Add Air” warning

does not appear if the low tire pressure
warning light illuminates to indicate a
TPMS malfunction.

• Tire pressure rises and falls depending

on the heat caused by operation of the
vehicle and the outside temperature. Do
not reduce the tire pressure after driving
because the tire pressure rises after driv-
ing. Low outside temperature can lower
the temperature of the air inside the tire,
which can cause a lower tire inflation
pressure. This may cause the low tire
pressure warning light to illuminate. If the
warning light illuminates in low ambient
temperature, check the tire pressure for
all four tires.

• The pressure of all tires can also be

checked on the display screen. The order
of the tire pressure figures displayed on
the screen does not correspond with the
actual order of the tire position.

For additional information, see “Low tire
pressure warning light” (P. 2-21) and “Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)” (P. 6-3).

WARNING

•

Radio waves could adversely affect
electric medical equipment. Those
who use a pacemaker should contact
the electric medical equipment manu-
facturer for the possible influences
before use.

•

If the low tire pressure warning light
illuminates while driving, avoid sud-
den steering maneuvers or abrupt
braking, reduce vehicle speed, pull
off the road to a safe location and
stop the vehicle as soon as possible.
Driving with under-inflated tires may
permanently damage the tires and
increase the likelihood of tire failure.
Serious vehicle damage could occur
and may lead to an accident and
could result in serious personal in-
jury. Check the tire pressure for all
four tires. Adjust the tire pressure to
the recommended COLD tire pres-
sure shown on the Tire and Loading
Information label to turn the low tire
pressure warning light off. If the tire is
flat, repair it as soon as possible. For
additional information, see “Flat tire”
(P. 6-3).

Starting and driving

5-5

•

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 after 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 affect
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.

TPMS with Easy-Fill Tire Alert

When tire pressure is low, the low tire pres-
sure warning light illuminates.

This vehicle provides visual and audible
signals to help you inflate the tires to the
recommended COLD tire pressure.

Vehicle set-up:

1. Park the vehicle in a safe and level place.

2. Apply the parking brake and push the P

(Park) position switch on the shift lever.

3. Place the power switch in the ON posi-

tion. Do not place in the READY to drive
mode.

Operation:

1. Add air to the tire.

2. After a few seconds, the hazard indica-

tors will start flashing.

3. When

the

designated

pressure

reached, the horn beeps once and the
hazard indicators stop flashing.

4. Perform the above steps for each tire.

• If the tire is over-inflated more than

approximately 4 psi (30 kPa), the horn
beeps and the hazard indicators flash
three times. To correct the pressure,

push the core of the valve stem on the
tire briefly to release pressure. When
the pressure reaches the designated
pressure, the horn beeps once.

• If the hazard indicator does not flash

within approximately 15 seconds after
starting to inflate the tire, it indicates
that the Easy-Fill Tire Alert is not
operating.

• The TPMS will not activate the Easy-Fill

Tire Alert under the following conditions:

– If there is interference from an exter-

nal device or transmitter.

– The air pressure from the inflation

device is not sufficient to inflate the
tire, such as those using a power
socket.

– If electrical equipment is being used

in or near the vehicle.

– There is a malfunction in the TPMS.
– There is a malfunction in the horn or

hazard indicators.

– If the Easy-Fill Tire Alert does not

operate due to TPMS interference,
move the vehicle about 3 ft (1 m)
backward or forward and try again.

If the Easy-Fill Tire Alert is not working, use a
tire pressure gauge.

AVOIDING COLLISION AND
ROLLOVER

WARNING

Failure to operate this vehicle in a safe
and prudent manner may result in loss
of control or an accident.

Be alert and drive defensively at all times.
Obey all traffic regulations. Avoid excessive
speed, high speed cornering, or sudden
steering maneuvers because these driving
practices could cause you to lose control of
your vehicle.

As with any vehicle, loss of control could
result in a collision with other vehicles or
objects or cause the vehicle to roll over,
particularly if the loss of control causes
the vehicle to slide sideways.

Be attentive at all times, and avoid driving
when tired. Never drive when under the in-
fluence of alcohol or drugs (including pre-
scription or over-the-counter drugs which
may cause drowsiness). Always wear your
seat belt as outlined in “Seat belts” (P. 7-7),
and also instruct your passengers to do so.

Starting and driving

5-7

Seat belts help reduce the risk of injury in
collisions and rollovers.

In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is
significantly more likely to die than a
person wearing a seat belt.

OFF-ROAD RECOVERY

While driving, the right side or left side
wheels may unintentionally leave the road
surface. If this occurs, maintain control of
the vehicle by following the procedure be-
low. Please note that this procedure is only
a general guide. The vehicle must be driven
as appropriate based on the conditions of
the vehicle, road and traffic.

1. Remain calm and do not overreact.

2. Do not apply the brakes.

3. Maintain a firm grip on the steering

wheel with both hands and try to hold a
straight course.

4. When appropriate, slowly release the ac-

celerator pedal to gradually slow the
vehicle.

5. If there is nothing in the way, steer the

vehicle to follow the road while the vehicle
speed is reduced. Do not attempt to drive
the vehicle back onto the road surface
until the vehicle speed is reduced.

6. When it is safe to do so, gradually turn

the steering wheel until both tires return
to the road surface. When all tires are on
the road surface, steer the vehicle to
stay in the appropriate driving lane.

• If you decide that it is not safe to return

the vehicle to the road surface based
on vehicle, road or traffic conditions,
gradually slow the vehicle to a stop in
a safe place off the road.

RAPID AIR PRESSURE LOSS

Rapid air pressure loss or a “blow-out” can
occur if the tire is punctured or is damaged
due to hitting a curb or pothole. Rapid air
pressure loss can also be caused by driving
on under-inflated tires.

Rapid air pressure loss can affect the han-
dling and stability of the vehicle, especially
at highway speeds.

Help prevent rapid air pressure loss by
maintaining the correct air pressure and
visually inspecting the tires for wear and
damage. For additional information, see
“Wheels and tires” (P. 8-25).

If a tire rapidly loses air pressure or “blows-
out” while driving, maintain control of the
vehicle by following the procedure below.
Please note that this procedure is only a

general guide. The vehicle must be driven
as appropriate based on the conditions of
the vehicle, road and traffic.

WARNING

The following actions can increase the
chance of losing control of the vehicle if
there is a sudden loss of tire air pres-
sure. Losing control of the vehicle may
cause a collision and result in personal
injury.

•

The vehicle generally moves or pulls
in the direction of the flat tire.

•

Do not rapidly apply the brakes.

•

Do not rapidly release the accelerator
pedal.

•

Do not rapidly turn the steering wheel.

1. Remain calm and do not overreact.

2. Maintain a firm grip on the steering

wheel with both hands and try to hold a
straight course.

3. When appropriate, slowly release the

accelerator pedal to gradually slow the
vehicle.

4. Gradually steer the vehicle to a safe lo-

cation off the road and away from traffic
if possible.

5-8

Starting and driving

5. Lightly apply the brake pedal to gradu-

ally stop the vehicle.

6. Turn on the hazard warning flashers and

contact a roadside emergency service
to change the tire. For additional infor-
mation, see “Flat tire” (P. 6-3).

DRINKING ALCOHOL/DRUGS AND
DRIVING

WARNING

Never drive under the influence of alco-
hol or drugs. Alcohol in the blood-
stream reduces coordination, delays
reaction time and impairs judgement.
Driving after drinking alcohol increases
the likelihood of being involved in an
accident injuring yourself and others.
Additionally, if you are injured in an ac-
cident, alcohol can increase the sever-
ity of the injury.

NISSAN is committed to safe driving. How-
ever, you must choose not to drive under
the influence of alcohol. Every year thou-
sands of people are injured or killed in
alcohol-related accidents. Although the
local laws vary on what is considered to
be legally intoxicated, the fact is that alcohol
affects all people differently and most
people underestimate the effects of alcohol.

Remember, drinking and driving don’t mix!
That is true for drugs, too (over-the-
counter, prescription, and illegal drugs). Do
not drive if your ability to operate your ve-
hicle is impaired by alcohol, drugs, or some
other physical condition.

WARNING

•

Do not operate the power switch
while driving the vehicle except in an
emergency. (The EV system shuts
down when the power switch is
pushed three consecutive times or
the power switch is pushed and held
for more than 2 seconds.) If the EV
system stops while the vehicle is be-
ing driven, this could lead to a crash
and serious injury.

•

When turning off the power switch,
make sure to push the P (Park) posi-
tion switch on the shift lever even if
the vehicle is maintaining a stop and
hold using the e-pedal. This will pre-
vent the vehicle from moving or roll-
ing unexpectedly, which could result
in serious personal injury or property
damage.

Before operating the power switch, make
sure the vehicle is in the P (Park) position.
