•
Pass the lower side belt of the EVSE
(Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment)
case securely through the fastener on
the bottom of the luggage board. If the
case suddenly becomes loose, it may
cause serious injury or death.
CAUTION
• To prevent damage to the charging
equipment:
– Do not close the charge port lid
without closing the cap.
– Do not subject the charging equip- ment to impact.
– Do not pull or twist the charge cable.
– Do not drag the charge cable.
– Do not store and use charging equipment in locations where the
temperature is over 185°F (85°C) .
– Do not place the charging equip- ment close to a heater or other heat
source.
• Make sure the cap is closed on the charge port when charging is finished.
If the charge port lid is closed when the
cap is open, water or foreign materials
may enter the charge port.
• Do not charge when a vehicle body cover is in use. This may cause damage
to the charge connector. • Do not attempt to perform a jump start
on the 12-volt battery at the same time
that the Li-ion battery is being
charged. Doing so may damage the
vehicle or charging equipment and
could cause an injury. See “Jump start-
ing” in the “In case of emergency” sec-
tion.
• Trickle charging is performed using the EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equip-
ment) provided with the vehicle.
NISSAN recommends using an AC 110
- 120 volt, 15A, dedicated electrical cir-
cuit and outlet. The dedicated circuit is
used to help prevent circuit damage or
the circuit breaker from tripping due to
the high draw of charging the Li-ion
battery. If the dedicated circuit is not
used, the circuit may cause adverse
interference on MCB (Moulded Circuit
Board) and household electrical appli-
ances such as televisions and audio
systems. If the circuit is shared, and
another electrical device is being used
at the same time the vehicle is charg-
ing, the breaker may trip. A licensed
professional electrician should install
a dedicated circuit if one is not already
available.

Your vehicle has two types of security systems,
as follows:
• Vehicle security system
• NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System
The security status is shown by the security indi-
cator light.
VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM
The vehicle security system provides visual and
audio alarm signals if someone opens the doors,
or rear hatch when the system is armed. It is not,
however, a motion detection type system that

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 “NISSAN Intelligent Key® battery re-
placement” in the “Maintenance and do-it-
yourself” section.
Pay special attention that the vehicle battery is
not completely discharged.
As many as four Intelligent Keys can be regis-
tered and used with one vehicle. For information
about the purchase and use of additional Intelli-gent Keys, contact a NISSAN certified LEAF
dealer.
CAUTION
• Do not allow the Intelligent Key, which contains electrical components, to
come into contact with water or salt
water. This could affect the functioning
of the system.
• Do not drop the Intelligent Key.
• Do not strike the Intelligent Key sharply against another object.
• Do not change or modify the Intelligent Key.
• The Intelligent Key may be damaged if it gets wet. If the Intelligent Key gets
wet, immediately wipe until it is com-
pletely dry.
• If the outside temperature is below 14°F (−10°C) , the battery of the Intelli-
gent key may not function properly.
• Do not place the Intelligent Key for an extended period in an area where tem-
peratures exceed 140°F (60°C) .
• Do not attach the Intelligent Key to a key holder that contains a magnet.
• Do not place the Intelligent Key near equipment that produces a magnetic
field, such as a TV, audio equipment,
personal computer or cellular phone. If an Intelligent Key is lost or stolen, NISSAN
recommends erasing the ID code of that Intelli-
gent Key from the vehicle. This may prevent the
unauthorized use of the Intelligent Key to operate
the vehicle. For information regarding the erasing
procedure, contact a NISSAN certified LEAF
dealer.
The Intelligent Key function can be disabled. For
information about disabling the Intelligent Key
function, contact a NISSAN certified LEAF
dealer.

HOW TO USE REMOTE KEYLESS
ENTRY FUNCTION
WARNING
• Radio waves could adversely affect electric medical equipment. Those
who use a pacemaker should contact
the electric medical equipment manu-
facturer for the possible influences be-
fore use.
• The Intelligent Key transmits radio waves when the buttons are pushed.
The FAA advises that the radio waves
may affect aircraft navigation and
communication systems. Do not oper-
ate the Intelligent Key while on an air-
plane. Make sure the buttons are not
operated unintentionally when the unit
is stored during a flight.
CAUTION
• Do not allow the Intelligent Key, which contains electrical components, to
come into contact with water or salt
water. This could affect the system
function.
• Do not drop the Intelligent Key.
• Do not strike the Intelligent Key sharply against another object.
• Do not change or modify the Intelligent Key.
• Wetting may damage the Intelligent Key. If the Intelligent Key gets wet,
immediately wipe until it is completely
dry.
• Do not place the Intelligent Key for an extended period in an area where tem-
peratures exceed 140°F (60°C) .
• Do not attach the Intelligent Key with a key holder that contains a magnet.
• Do not place the Intelligent Key near equipment that produces a magnetic
field, such as a TV, audio equipment,
personal computers or cellular phone. The remote keyless entry function can operate all
door locks using the remote keyless entry func-
tion of the Intelligent Key. The remote keyless
entry function can operate at a distance of ap-
proximately 33 ft (10 m) from the vehicle. (The
operating distance depends upon the conditions
around the vehicle.)
The remote keyless entry function will not oper-
ate:
• When the Intelligent Key is not within the opera-
tional range.
• When the doors are open or not closed securely.
• When the Intelligent Key battery is discharged.
The remote keyless entry function can also oper-
ate the vehicle alarm.
