5-2 CARWINGS
TM
In addition to Event Data Recorders (EDRs)
mentioned in the LEAF Owner’s Manual, this
vehicle is equipped with electronic modules that
monitor, control and record data concerning
various vehicle systems, including the motor,
batteries, braking and electrical systems. Other
electronic modules record information concern-
ing driving conditions, including idling, braking,
acceleration, trip and other related data, in-
formation about your use of the car and its
features such as air conditioner or headlight
usage, diagnostic trouble codes, vehicle char-
ging, vehicle speed, direction and/or location.
Some of this data is stored by the vehicle for use
during vehicle servicing. Other data concerning
your vehicle’s operation and performance is
wirelessly transmitted by cellular connection
through the vehicle onboard telematics system
upon vehicle start-up or at other intervals to
NISSAN. This data may be used by NISSAN for
various purposes, including: to provide you with
CARWINGS
TM services (refer to the CAR-
WINGS TM section of this manual for details);
troubleshooting; evaluation of your vehicle’s
quality, functionality and performance; analysis
and research by NISSAN designed to, among
other things, optimize performance of future
electric vehicles including improvements in
future battery life; to offer you new or additional
products or services; and as otherwise may be
required by law. Such data may be shared with
NISSAN’s parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, suc-
cessors or assignees; authorized NISSAN certi-
fied LEAF dealers; NISSAN’s marketing
partners; your fleet company, if your vehicle is
a fleet vehicle; your rental company, if your
vehicle is a rental vehicle; and third party service
providers such as cellular, information systems
and data management providers.
State laws allow access and use of data
recorded by vehicle devices with the consent
of the vehicle owner or pursuant to subscription
agreement. While you are not required to allow
such access and use, if you do not so agree
NISSAN may be unable under applicable law to
activate the vehicle telematics system in your
vehicle, and certain features of your vehicle
which are dependent on vehicle telematics will
not operate as intended or designed. These may
include features such as automatic charging
station map updates, remote battery state of
charge check, charging complete notice, remote
plug in reminder, remote charging on, remote
climate control on, drive route planning, driving
tips to improve range, driving history, billing
simulation, ECO ranking, ECO forest, mainte-
nance reminders, etc. Other features that may
be developed and offered by NISSAN in the
future may also not function without telematics
data transmission.
CARWINGS TM telematics services are provided
by NISSAN pursuant to a subscription services
agreement covering your vehicle. This agree-
ment is necessary for all owners. This agree-
ment, and an explanation of its terms and
conditions, can be found at the NISSAN Own-
er’s Portal webpage. Further, the operator of the
vehicle must also touch [OK] on the Navi screen
to indicate assent each time he or she starts the
car. If you decide at any time that you do not
want your vehicle to transmit data to NISSAN,
you can deactivate the telematics account
associated with this vehicle by canceling the
subscription services agreement by visiting the
NISSAN Owner’s Portal Webpage or calling
NISSAN at 1-877-NOGASEV (1-877-664-
2738). The service can be reactivated later
upon request if you choose. Simply visit the
same website or call the number above. Alter-
natively, you can turn off the transmission of
certain categories of data through the use of
settings found in the Navigation system under
Menu, CARWINGS
TM , Vehicle Information
Sharing with NISSAN. Note, turning off “Vehicle
Information Sharing with NISSAN” will only

still be transmitted if vehicle telematics features
are accessed either in the vehicle or remotely.
