Instant ECO driving level
The instant ECO driving level
1is displayed by
the number of bars that increase (more economi-
cal driving) or decrease (less economical driving)
depending on vehicle operation.
Long term ECO driving level
Long term ECO driving is indicated by ECO
TREE symbols. The longer the vehicle is operated
economically, the more segments of the large
ECO TREE symbol
2are displayed. When all of
the segments of the large ECO TREE symbol are
displayed, a small ECO TREE indicator
3is also
displayed, and the large ECO TREE symbol dis-
play is reset. The longer the vehicle is operated
economically, the more small ECO TREE sym-
bols are displayed. The ECO TREE symbols that
were illuminated while driving will turn off when
the vehicle power is turned off. The ECO TREE
symbols are stored in the navigation system to
show long term efficient vehicle operation.
To increase the ECO driving level and for information
about driving the vehicle efficiently, see “Improve
driving range” in the “EV overview” section.

activates when a vehicle is moved or when a
vibration occurs.
The system helps deter vehicle theft but cannot
prevent it, nor can it prevent the theft of interior or
exterior vehicle components in all situations. Al-
ways secure your vehicle even if parking for a
brief period. Never leave your keys in the vehicle,
and always lock it when it is left unattended. Be
aware of your surroundings, and park in secure,
well-lit areas whenever possible.
Many devices offering additional protection, such
as component locks, identification markers, and
tracking systems, are available at auto supply
stores and specialty shops. Your NISSAN certi-
fied LEAF dealer may also offer such equipment.
Check with your insurance company to see if you
may be eligible for discounts for various theft
protection features.
How to arm the vehicle security
system
1. Close all windows.The system can be armed even if the
windows are open.
2. Place the power switch in the LOCK or OFF position and remove the Intelligent Key from
the vehicle.
3. Close all doors. Lock all doors. The doors can be locked with:
• the LOCK
button on the Intelligent Key
• any request switch • the power door lock switch
• the mechanical key
4. Confirm that the security indicator light illumi- nates. The security indicator light stays on for
about 30 seconds. The vehicle security sys-
tem is now pre-armed. After about 30 sec-
onds the vehicle security system automati-
cally shifts into the armed phase. The security
light begins to flash once every approximately
3 seconds. If, during this 30-second pre-arm
time period, the door is unlocked, or the
power switch is placed in the ACC or ON
position, the system will not arm.
Even when the driver and/or passengers
are in the vehicle, the system will activate
with all doors locked and the power switch
in the OFF position. When placing the
power switch to the ACC or ON position,
the system will be released.
Vehicle security system activation
The vehicle security system will give the following
alarm:
• The headlights blink and the horn sounds intermittently.
2-36Instruments and controls

• The alarm automatically turns off after approxi-mately 50 seconds. However, the alarm reacti-
vates if the vehicle is tampered with again.
The alarm is activated by:
• Unlocking the door without using the Intelligent Key, the request switch or the key. (Even if the
door is opened by releasing the door inside lock
knob, the alarm will activate.)
• Opening the hood.
How to stop an activated alarm
The alarm will stop when a door is unlocked by
pushing the UNLOCK
button on the Intel-
ligent Key, door handle request switch or using
the mechanical key, or when the power switch is
pushed in the ACC or ON position.
If the system does not operate as described
above, have it checked by a NISSAN certi-
fied LEAF dealer.
NISSAN VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER
SYSTEM
The NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System will not
allow the power switch to be placed in the
READY to drive position without the use of the
registered key.
If the power switch fails to place the vehicle into
the READY to drive position using the registered
key, it may be due to interference caused by
another registered key, an automated toll road
device or automated payment device on the key
ring. Restart the EV system using the following
procedure:
1. Leave the power switch in the ON position for approximately 5 seconds.
2. Place the power switch in the OFF position and wait approximately 10 seconds.
3. Repeat step 1 and 2 again.
4. Place the power switch in the READY to drive position while holding the device (which may
have caused the interference) separate from
the registered key.
If this procedure allows power switch in the
READY to drive mode, NISSAN recommends
placing the registered key on a separate key
ring to avoid interference from other devices. FCC Notice:
