OFF position
When the switch is in the OFF position3, the
ceiling light will not illuminate, regardless of the
condition.The HomeLink® Universal Transceiver provides
a convenient way to consolidate the functions of
up to three individual hand-held transmitters into
one built-in device.
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver:
• Will operate most Radio Frequency (RF) de-
vices such as garage doors, gates, home and
office lighting, entry door locks and security
systems.
• Is powered by the vehicle’s 12-volt battery. No
separate batteries are required. If the vehicle’s
12-volt battery is discharged or is discon-
nected, HomeLink® will retain all programming.
Once the HomeLink® Universal Trans-
ceiver is programmed, retain the original
transmitter for future programming proce-
dures (for example, new vehicle pur-
chases) . Upon sale of the vehicle, the pro-
grammed HomeLink® Universal
Transceiver buttons should be erased for
security purposes. For additional informa-
tion, see “Programming HomeLink®” later
in this section.
WARNING
• Do not use the HomeLink® Universal
Transceiver with any garage door
opener that lacks safety stop and re-
verse features as required by federal
safety standards. (These standards be-
came effective for opener models
manufactured after April 1, 1982.) A
garage door opener that cannot detect
an object in the path of a closing ga-
rage door and then automatically stop
and reverse, does not meet current
federal safety standards. Using a ga-
rage door opener without these fea-
tures increases the risk of serious in-
jury or death.
• During the programming procedure,
your garage door or security gate will
open or close (if the transmitter is
within range) . Make sure that people
or objects are clear of the garage door,
gate, etc. that you are programming.
• Place the power switch in the ACC or
ON position while programming the
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver.

the HomeLink® web site at: www.homelink.com
or call 1-800-355-3515.
NOTE:
Place the ignition switch in the ACC posi-
tion when programming HomeLink®. It is
also recommended that a new battery be
placed in the hand-held transmitter of the
device being programmed to HomeLink®
for quicker programming and accurate
transmission of the radio-frequency.
1. Position the end of your hand-held transmitter
1–3 inches (2–8 cm) away from the
HomeLink® surface, keeping the HomeLink®
indicator light
1in view.2. Using both hands, simultaneously press and
hold the desired HomeLink® button and
handheld transmitter button. DO NOT release
until the HomeLink® indicator light
1flashes
slowly and then rapidly. When the indicator
light flashes rapidly, both buttons may be re-
leased. (The rapid flashing indicates success-
ful programming.)

place Step 2 with the cycling procedure
noted in the “Programing HomeLink®
for Canadian customers and gate open-
ers” section.3. Press and hold the programmed HomeLink®
button and observe the indicator light.
• If the indicator light
1is solid/
continuous, programming is complete
and your device should activate when the
HomeLink® button is pressed and released.
• If the indicator light
1blinksrapidly for
two seconds and then turns to a solid/

A key number plate is supplied with your keys.
Record the key number and keep it in a safe place
(such as your wallet) , not in the vehicle. If you lose
your keys, see a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer
for duplicates by using the key number. NISSAN
does not record any key numbers so it is very
important to keep track of your key number plate.
A key number is only necessary when you have
lost all keys and do not have one to duplicate
from. If you still have a key, this key can be
duplicated by a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer.
NOTE:
Do not leave the keys inside the vehicle
when leaving the vehicle.NISSAN INTELLIGENT KEYS®

Your vehicle can only be driven with the Intelligent
Keys which are registered to your vehicle’s Intel-
ligent Key system components and NISSAN Ve-
hicle Immobilizer System components. As many
as 4 Intelligent Keys can be registered and used
with one vehicle. The new keys must be regis-
tered by a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer prior to
use with the Intelligent Key system and NISSAN
Vehicle Immobilizer System of your vehicle. Since
the registration process requires erasing allmemory in the Intelligent Key components when
registering new keys, be sure to take all Intelligent
Keys that you have to the NISSAN certified LEAF
dealer. It is possible that the Intelligent key func-
tions became canceled, if so see a NISSAN
certified LEAF dealer.

3-2Pre-driving checks and adjustments

In such cases, correct the operating conditions
before using the Intelligent Key function or use
the mechanical key.
Although the life of the battery varies depending
on the operating conditions, the battery’s life is
approximately 2 years. If the battery is dis-
charged, replace it with a new one.
When the Intelligent Key battery is almost dis-
charged, firmly apply the foot brake and touch the
power switch with the Intelligent Key. Then push
the power switch while depressing the brake
pedal within 10 seconds after the chime sound.
Since the Intelligent Key is continuously receiving
radio waves, if the key is left near equipment that
transmits strong radio waves, such as signals
from a TV or personal computer, the battery life
may become shorter.
For information regarding replacement of a bat-
tery, see “Key battery replacement” in the “Main-
tenance and do-it-yourself” section.
Pay special attention that the vehicle battery is
not completely discharged.
