LEAF dealer for registration. This is because the
registration process will erase the memory of all
key codes previously registered into the NISSAN
Vehicle Immobilizer System. After the registration
process, these components will only recognize
keys coded into the NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer
System during registration. Any key that is not
given to the dealer at the time of registration will
no longer be able to start your vehicle.
CAUTION
Do not allow the immobilizer system key,
which contains an electrical transponder,
to come into contact with water or salt
water. This could affect system function.
WARNING
• Always have the doors locked while driving. Along with the use of seat
belts, this provides greater safety in
the event of an accident by helping to
prevent persons from being thrown
from the vehicle. This also helps keep
children and others from unintention-
ally opening the doors, and will help
keep out intruders.
• Before opening any door, always look for and avoid oncoming traffic.
• To help avoid risk of injury or death through unintended operation of the
vehicle and or its systems, including
entrapment in windows or inadvertent
door lock activation, do not leave chil-
dren, people who require the assis-
tance of others or pets unattended in
your vehicle. Additionally, the tem-
perature inside a closed vehicle on a
warm day can quickly become high
enough to cause a significant risk of
injury or death to people and pets.
When the doors are locked using one of the
following methods, the doors cannot be opened
using the inside or outside door handles. The
doors must be unlocked to open the doors.
LOCKING WITH MECHANICAL KEY
(DRIVER’S SIDE ONLY)
The power door lock system allows you to lock or
unlock all doors simultaneously using the me-
chanical key.
• Turning the driver’s door key cylinder towards the front of the vehicle
1will lock all doors and
the rear hatch.

OUTSIDE MIRRORS
Adjusting outside mirrors
WARNING
Objects viewed in the outside mirror on
the passenger side are closer than they
appear. Be careful when moving to the
right. Using only this mirror could cause
an accident. Use the inside mirror or
glance over your shoulder to properly
judge distances to other objects. The outside mirror control switch is located on
the armrest.
The outside mirror will operate only when the
power switch is in the ACC or ON position.
Turn the switch right or left to select the right or
left side mirror
1, then adjust the mirror using
the control switch

Defrosting outside mirrors (if so
equipped)
The outside mirrors will be heated when the rear
window defroster switch is operated. For addi-
tional information, refer to “Rear window and
outside mirror (if so equipped) defroster switch”
in the “Instruments and controls” section of this
manual.
Folding outside mirrors
Fold the outside mirror by pushing it toward the
rear of the vehicle.

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

REARVIEW MONITOR SYSTEM
OPERATION
With the power switch in the ON position, move
the shift lever to the R (Reverse) position or press
the CAMERA button (if so equipped) to operate
the RearView Monitor.

climate control system automatically turns off
the heater or air conditioner and switches to the
air recirculation mode. Place the power switch
in the off position to begin charging. Turn on the
desired climate control function.
• For normal charge, the climate control system is operative when charging operation is complete.
For quick charge however, the climate control
system stops operating when charging opera-
tion stops.
• The climate control timer or remote climate con- trol (for models with Navigation) may fog up
windows depending on the set temperature (for
models with Navigation) or outside
temperature.
• When turning on the seat heater switch prior to operating the climate control timer or the remote
climate control (for models with Navigation) , the
seat heater will also turn on automatically when
the outside temperature is low.
IN-CABIN MICROFILTER
The climate control system is equipped with an
in-cabin microfilter which collects dirt, dust etc.
To make sure the air conditioner heats defogs,
and ventilates efficiently, replace the filter regu-
larly. To replace the filter, it is recommended that
you visit a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer.
The filter should be replaced if the air flow
decreases significantly or if windows fog
up easily when operating the climate con-
trol system.
