Nissan LEAF 2023 Owners Manual
9.16.2.1. Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode activation
To turn on the cruise control, quickly push and release the CRUISE ON/OFF switch. The ICC system ON indicator (grey), set distance indicator and set vehicle speed indicator come on in a standby state.
To set cruising speed, accelerate your vehicle to the desired speed, push the <SET-> switch and release it. (The ICC system set indicator (green), vehicle ahead detection indicator, set distance indicator and set vehicle speed indicator come on.) Take your foot off the accelerator pedal. Your vehicle will maintain the set speed.
When the <SET-> switch is pushed under the following conditions, the system cannot be set and the ICC indicators will blink for approximately 2 seconds:
When travelling below 30 km/h (20 MPH) and the vehicle ahead is not detected.
When the shift lever is not in the D (Drive) position.
When the parking brake is applied.
When the brakes are operated by the driver.
When the <SET-> switch is pushed under the following conditions, the system cannot be set.
A warning chime will sound and a message will pop up:
When the ESP system is off (To use the ICC system, turn on the ESP system. Push the CRUISE ON/OFF switch to turn off the ICC system and reset the ICC system by pushing the CRUISE ON/OFF switch again.) For additional information about the ESP system, see
.When ESP (including the traction control system) is operating.
When a wheel is slipping (To use the ICC system, make sure the wheels are no longer slipping.)
- 1 System set display with vehicle ahead
- 2 System set display without vehicle ahead
The driver sets the desired vehicle speed based on the road conditions. The ICC system maintains the set vehicle speed, similar to standard cruise control, as long as no vehicle is detected in the lane ahead.
The ICC system displays the set speed.
Vehicle detected ahead
When a vehicle is detected in the lane ahead, the ICC system decelerates the vehicle by controlling the throttle and applying the brakes to match the speed of a slower vehicle ahead. The system then controls the vehicle speed based on the speed of the vehicle ahead to maintain the driver selected distance.
The brake lights of the vehicle come on when braking is performed by the ICC system.
When the brake operates, a noise may be heard. This is not a malfunction.
When a vehicle ahead is detected, the vehicle ahead detection indicator comes on. The ICC system will also display the set speed and selected distance.
Vehicle ahead not detected
When a vehicle is no longer detected ahead, the ICC system gradually accelerates your vehicle to resume the previously set vehicle speed. The ICC system then maintains the set speed.
When a vehicle is no longer detected the vehicle ahead detection indicator turns off.
If a vehicle ahead appears during acceleration to the set vehicle speed or any time the ICC system is in operation, the system controls the distance to that vehicle.
When a vehicle is no longer detected under approximately 25 km/h (15 MPH), the system will be cancelled.
When passing another vehicle, the set speed indicator will flash when the vehicle speed exceeds the set speed. The vehicle detect indicator will turn off when the area ahead of the vehicle is open. When the pedal is released, the vehicle will return to the previously set speed.
Even though your vehicle speed is set in the ICC system, you can depress the accelerator pedal when it is necessary to accelerate your vehicle rapidly.
