Nissan Leaf (2019 year). Manual

Your

NISSAN

equipped

with

the

Bluetooth® Hands-Free Phone System. If
you have a compatible Bluetooth® enabled
cellular phone, you can set up the wireless
connection between your cellular phone
and the in-vehicle phone module. With
Bluetooth® wireless technology, you can
make or receive a hands-free telephone
call with your cellular phone in the vehicle.

Once your cellular phone is connected to
the in-vehicle phone module, no other
phone connecting procedure is required.
Your phone is automatically connected
with the in-vehicle phone module when

the power switch is placed in the ON posi-
tion with the previously connected cellular
phone turned on and carried in the vehicle.

NOTE:

Some devices require the user to accept
specific connections for certain features
(such as phonebook download). If your
phone does not connect automatically to
the system, consult the phone’s Owner’s
Manual for details on device operation.

You can connect up to five different
Bluetooth® cellular phones to the in-
vehicle phone module. However, you can
talk on only one cellular phone at a time.

Before using the Bluetooth® Hands-Free
Phone System, refer to the following notes:

• Set up the wireless connection between a

compatible cellular phone and the in-
vehicle phone module before using the
hands-free phone system.

• Some Bluetooth® enabled cellular phones

may not be recognized or work properly.
Please visit www.nissanusa.com/bluetooth or
www.nissan.ca/bluetooth for a recommended
phone list and connecting instructions.

• You will not be able to use a hands-free

phone under the following conditions:

– Your vehicle is outside of the cellular

service area.

– Your vehicle is in an area where it is

difficult to receive a cellular signal; such
as in a tunnel, in an underground park-
ing garage, near a tall building or in a
mountainous area.

– Your cellular phone is locked to prevent

it from being dialed.

• When the radio wave condition is not ideal

or ambient sound is too loud, it may be
difficult to hear the other person’s voice
during a call.

• Do not place the cellular phone in an area

surrounded by metal or far away from the
in-vehicle phone module to prevent tone
quality degradation and wireless connec-
tion disruption.

• While a cellular phone is connected

through the Bluetooth® wireless connec-
tion, the battery power of the cellular
phone may discharge quicker than usual.
The Bluetooth® Hands-Free Phone Sys-
tem cannot charge cellular phones.

• For additional information, refer to “Trouble-

shooting guide” in this section. You can
also visit www.nissanusa.com/bluetooth or
www.nissan.ca/bluetooth for troubleshooting
help if the hands-free phone system seems to
be malfunctioning.

• Some cellular phones or other devices

may cause interference or a buzzing noise
to come from the audio system speakers.
Storing the device in a different location
may reduce or eliminate the noise.

Operating tips

To get the best performance out of the
NISSAN Voice Recognition system, observe
the following:

• Keep the interior of the vehicle as quiet as

possible. Point all vents away from the mi-
crophone area and close the windows to
eliminate

surrounding

noises

(traffic

noises, vibration sounds, etc.), which may
prevent the system from recognizing
voice commands correctly.

• Wait until the tone sounds before speak-

ing a command. Otherwise, the com-
mand will not be received properly.

• Start speaking a command within 5 sec-

onds after the tone sounds.

• Speak in a natural voice without pausing

between words.

Giving voice commands

To operate NISSAN Voice Recognition,
press and release the

button located

on the steering wheel. After the tone
sounds, speak a command.

The command given is picked up by the
microphone, and voice feedback is given
when the command is accepted.

• If you need to hear the available com-

mands for the current menu again, say
“Help” and the system will repeat them.

• If a command is not recognized, the sys-

tem announces, “Command not recog-
nized. Please try again.” Make sure the
command is said exactly as prompted by
the system and repeat the command in a
clear voice.

• If you want to go back to the previous

command, you can say “Go back” or “Cor-
rection” any time the system is waiting for
a response.

• You can cancel a command when the sys-

tem is waiting for a response by saying,
“Cancel” or “Quit.” The system announces
“Cancel” or “Quit” and ends the Voice Rec-
ognition session. You can also press and
hold the

button on the steering

wheel for 5 seconds at any time to end the
Voice Recognition session. Whenever the
Voice Recognition session is canceled, a
double beep is played to indicate you have
exited the system.

• If you want to adjust the volume of the

voice feedback, press the volume control
switches (+ or -) on the steering wheel
while being provided with feedback. You
can also use the radio volume control
knob.

lems are encountered, try the following so-
lutions.

Where the solutions are listed by number,
try each solution in turn, starting with num-
ber 1, until the problem is resolved.

Symptom

Solution

System fails to interrupt the command
correctly.

1. Ensure that the command is valid. For additional information, refer to “Voice commands” in this section.

2. Ensure that the command is spoken after the tone.

3. Speak clearly without pausing between words and at a level appropriate to the ambient noise level in the vehicle.

4. Ensure that the ambient noise level is not excessive (for example, windows open or defroster on). NOTE: if it is too
noisy to use the phone, it is likely that the voice commands will not be recognized.

5. If more than one command was said at a time, try saying the commands separately.

6. If the system consistently fails to recognize commands, the voice training procedure should be carried out to improve
the recognition response for the speaker.

The system consistently selects the
wrong entry from the phone book.

1. Ensure that the phone book entry name requested matches what was originally stored. This can be confirmed by us-
ing the “List Names” command. For additional information, refer to “Phonebook” in this section.

2. Replace one of the names being confused with a new name.

3. Say First Name and Last Name of the desired contact to improve recognition.

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 op-
eration of the vehicle. Also, on hot,
sunny

days,

temperatures

closed vehicle could quickly become
high enough to cause severe or pos-
sibly fatal injuries to people or ani-
mals.

• Properly secure all cargo with ropes

or straps to help prevent it from slid-
ing or shifting. Do not place cargo
higher than the seatbacks. In a sud-
den stop or collision, unsecured
cargo could cause personal injury.

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 replacing a wheel without the TPMS

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

PRECAUTIONS WHEN STARTING AND
DRIVING

5-4

Starting and driving

• The TPMS will activate only when the ve-

hicle 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).

• 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 warn-
ing light is illuminated and low tire pres-
sure 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 ve-
hicle and the outside temperature. Do not
reduce the tire pressure after driving be-
cause the tire pressure rises after driving.
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, refer to “Low tire
pressure warning light” in the “Instruments
and controls” section and “Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS)” in the “In case of
emergency” section of this manual.

WARNING

• Radio waves could adversely affect

electric medical equipment. Those
who use a pacemaker should con-
tact the electric medical equipment
manufacturer for the possible influ-
ences 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. Driv-
ing with under-inflated tires may per-
manently damage the tires and in-
crease the likelihood of tire failure.
Serious vehicle damage could occur
and may lead to an accident and
could result in serious personal injury.
Check the tire pressure for all four
tires. Adjust the tire pressure to the
recommended COLD tire pressure
shown on the Tire and Loading Infor-
mation label to turn the low tire pres-
sure warning light off. If the tire is flat,
repair it as soon as possible. (For ad-
ditional information, refer to “Flat tire”
in the “In case of emergency” section
of this manual.)
