CAUTION
• Be careful not to allow children to swallow the battery and removed
parts.
• An improperly disposed battery can harm the environment. Always confirm
local regulations for battery disposal.
• When changing batteries, do not let dust or oil get on the components.
• There is danger of explosion if the lithium battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or equiva-
lent type.
Replace the battery in the Intelligent Key as
follows:
1. Remove the mechanical key from the Intelli-gent Key. 2. Insert a small screwdriver into the slit of the
corner and twist it to separate the upper part
from the lower part. Use a cloth to protect the
casing.
3. Replace the battery with a new one.
Recommended battery:
CR2025 or equivalent
•Do not touch the internal circuit and electric
terminals as doing so could cause a
malfunction.
•Hold the battery by the edges. Holding the
battery across the contact points will seri-
ously deplete the storage capacity.
•Make sure that the side faces the bottom
of the case.

Fog may temporarily form inside the lens of the
exterior lights in the rain or in a car wash. A
temperature difference between the inside and
the outside of the lens causes the fog. This is not
a malfunction. If large drops of water collect
inside the lens, it is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN certified LEAF dealer for this service.

Halogen headlight (high-beam):
The headlight high-beam is a semi-sealed beam

CAUTION
• Do not leave the bulb out of the head- light reflector for a long period of time.
Dust, moisture, smoke, etc. entering
the headlight body may affect bulb
performance.
• High-pressure halogen gas is sealed inside the halogen bulb. The bulb may
break if the glass envelope is
scratched or the bulb is dropped.
• Only touch the base when handling the bulb. Never touch the glass envelope.
Touching the glass envelope could sig-
nificantly affect bulb life and/or head-
light performance.
• Aiming is not necessary after replacing the bulb. When aiming adjustment is
necessary, it is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer
for this service.
• Fog may temporarily form inside the lens of the exterior lights in the rain or
in a car wash. A temperature differ-
ence between the inside and the out-
side of the lens causes the fog. This is
not a malfunction. If large drops of
water collect inside the lens, it is rec-
ommended that you visit a NISSAN
certified LEAF dealer for this service. Use the same number and wattage as originally
installed as shown in the chart.

TIRE PRESSURE
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)
This vehicle is equipped with the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) . It
monitors tire pressure of all tires. When
the low tire pressure warning light is lit,
and the CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warn-
ing appears on the vehicle informationRear combination light
Cargo light
WHEELS AND TIRES

display, one or more of your tires is signifi-
cantly under-inflated.
The TPMS will activate only when the
vehicle is driven at speeds above 16 mph
(25 km/h) . Also, this system may not de-
tect a sudden drop in tire pressure (for
example a flat tire while driving) .
For additional information, refer to “Low
tire pressure warning light” in the “Instru-
ments and controls” section, “Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring System (TPMS)” in the
“Starting and driving” section and “Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)” in
the “In case of emergency” section of this
manual.
Tire inflation pressure
Check the pressure of the tires often and
always prior to long distance trips. The
recommended tire pressure specifica-
tions are shown on the F.M.V.S.S/
C.M.V.S.S certification label or Tire and
Loading Information label under the “Cold
Tire Pressure” heading. The Tire andLoading Information label is affixed to the
driver side center pillar. Tire pressures
should be checked regularly because:
• Most tires naturally lose air over time.
• Tires can lose air suddenly when driven
over potholes or other objects or if the
vehicle strikes a curb while parking.
The tire pressures should be checked
when the tires are cold. The tires are
considered COLD after the vehicle has
been parked for 3 or more hours, or driven
less than 1 mile (1.6 km) at moderate
speeds.
The TPMS with Easy-Fill Tire Alert also
provides visual and audible signals out-
side the vehicle for inflating the tires to the
recommended COLD tire pressure. For
additional information, refer to “TPMS
with Easy-Fill Tire Alert” in the “Starting
and driving” section of this manual.
Incorrect tire pressure, including un-
der inflation, may adversely affect
tire life and vehicle handling.
WARNING
•
Improperly inflated tires can fail
suddenly and cause an accident.
•The Gross Vehicle Weight rating
(GVWR) is located on the
F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S certifica-
tion label. The vehicle weight ca-
pacity is indicated on the Tire
and Loading Information label.
Do not load your vehicle beyond
this capacity. Overloading your
vehicle may result in reduced tire
life, unsafe operating conditions
due to premature tire failure, or
unfavorable handling character-
istics and could also lead to a
serious accident. Loading be-
yond the specified capacity may
also result in failure of other ve-
hicle components.
