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
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. A NISSAN certified
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.
• 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.
Instruments and controls2-37

CAUTION
• Be sure to carry the Intelligent Key with you when operating the vehicle.
• Never leave the Intelligent Key in the vehicle when you leave the vehicle.
The Intelligent Key is always communicating with
the vehicle because it receives radio waves. The
Intelligent Key system transmits weak radio
waves. Environmental conditions may interfere
with the operation of the Intelligent Key system
under the following operating conditions.
• When operating near a location where strong radio waves are transmitted, such as a TV tower,
power station or broadcasting station.
• When in possession of wireless equipment, such as a cellular phone, transceiver or a CB
radio.
• When the Intelligent Key is in contact with or covered by metallic materials.
• When any type of radio wave remote control is used nearby.
• When the Intelligent Key is placed near an elec- tric appliance such as a personal computer.
• When the vehicle is parked near a parking meter. 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 two 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 additional information, refer to “NISSAN In-
telligent Key® battery replacement” in the “Main-
tenance and do-it-yourself” section of this
manual.
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, it is recommended that you visit 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.

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use of the RearView
Monitor system could result in serious
injury or death.
•
RearView Monitor is a convenience fea-
ture and is not a substitute for proper
backing. Always turn and look out the
windows and check mirrors to be sure
that it is safe to move before operating
the vehicle. Always back up slowly.
• The system is designed as an aid to the driver in showing large stationary ob-
jects directly behind the vehicle, to
help avoid damaging the vehicle.
•
The distance guide line and the vehicle
width line should be used as a reference
only when the vehicle is on a level paved
surface. The distance viewed on the
monitor is for reference only and may be
different than the actual distance be-
tween the vehicle and displayed objects.
CAUTION
Do not scratch the camera lens when
cleaning dirt or snow from the front of the
camera. The RearView Monitor system automatically
shows a rear view of the vehicle when the shift
lever is shifted into the R (Reverse) position or
when the CAMERA button (if so equipped) is
pressed. The radio can still be heard while the
RearView Monitor is active.
To display the rear view, the RearView Monitor
system uses a camera located just above the
vehicle’s license plate

Indicate the vehicle width when backing up. Predicted course lines (models with navi-
gation)
6
Indicate the predicted course when backing up.
The predicted course lines will be displayed on
the monitor when the shift lever is in the R (Re-
verse) position and the steering wheel is turned.
The predicted course lines will move depending
on how much the steering wheel is turned and
will not be displayed while the steering wheel is in
the straight-ahead position.
The vehicle width guide lines and the width of the
predicted course lines are wider than the actual
width and course.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
PREDICTED AND ACTUAL
DISTANCES
The displayed guidelines and their locations on
the ground are for approximate reference only.
Objects on uphill or downhill surfaces or project-
ing objects will be actually located at distances
different from those displayed in the monitor rela-
tive to the guidelines (refer to illustrations) . When
in doubt, turn around and view the objects as you
are backing up, or park and exit the vehicle to
view the positioning of objects behind the ve-
hicle.
Backing up on a steep uphill
When backing up the vehicle up a hill, the dis-
tance guide lines and the vehicle width guide
lines are shown closer than the actual distance.
Note that any object on the hill is further than it
appears on the monitor.
