Nissan LEAF 2023 Owners Manual
8.4.3.3. Moving Object Detection (where fitted)
The Moving Object Detection (MOD) system can inform the driver of moving objects surrounding the vehicle when driving out of garages, manoeuvring into parking lots and other such instances. The MOD system detects moving objects by using image processing technology on the image shown on the display.
The MOD system operates in the following conditions when the camera view is displayed:
When the shift lever is in the P (Park) or N (Neutral) position and the vehicle is stopped, the MOD system detects the moving objects in the bird's-eye view. The MOD system will not operate if the outside mirror is moving in or out or if either door is opened.
When the shift lever is in the D (Drive) or B position and the vehicle speed is below approximately 8 km/h (5 MPH), the MOD system detects moving objects in the front view or front-wide view.
When the shift lever is in the R (Reverse) position and the vehicle speed is below approximately 8 km/h (5 MPH), the MOD system detects moving objects in the rear view or rear-wide view. The MOD system will not operate if the tailgate is open.
The MOD system does not detect moving objects in the front-side view. The MOD indicator is not displayed on the screen when in this view.
The MOD system is not a substitute for proper vehicle operation and is not designed to prevent contact with the objects surrounding the vehicle. When manoeuvring, always use the outside mirror and rear view mirror and turn and check the surrounding to ensure it is safe to manoeuvre.
The MOD system does not detect stationary objects.
Excessive noise (such as from the audio system or an open vehicle window) will interfere with the chime sound, and it may not be audible.
The MOD system performance will be limited according to environmental conditions and surrounding objects such as:
When there is low contrast between the background and moving objects.
When there is a blinking source of light.
When strong light such as another vehicle's headlights or sunlight is present.
When the camera orientation is not in its usual position, such as when mirror is folded.
When there is dirt, water drops or snow on the camera lens.
When the position of the moving objects in the display does not change.
The MOD system might detect something like flowing water droplets on the camera lens, or 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 area where the camera is installed, leaving it misaligned or bent, the sensing zone may be altered and the MOD system may not detect objects properly.
