light will remain lit for about 7 seconds
initially.
If the light is still OFF after this, the small adult,
child or child restraint should be repositioned
in the rear seat and the vehicle should be
checked as soon as possible. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN certified

CONSOLE BOX
To open the console box, pull up the leverAand
pull up the lid. To close, push the lid down until it
is latched.
TONNEAU COVER (IF SO
EQUIPPED)
WARNING
• Never put anything on the tonneau cover, no matter how small. Any object
on it could cause an injury in an acci-
dent or sudden stop. • Do not leave the tonneau cover in the
vehicle with it disengaged from the
holder.
• Properly secure all cargo with ropes or straps to help prevent it from sliding or
shifting. Do not place cargo higher
than the seatbacks. In a sudden stop or
collision, unsecured cargo could cause
personal injury.
• Properly secure cargo and do not allow it to contact the top tether strap when
it is attached to the top tether anchor.
Cargo that is not properly secured or
cargo that contacts the top tether strap
may damage the top tether strap dur-
ing a collision. If the cargo cover con-
tacts the top tether strap when it is
attached to the top tether anchor, re-
move the cargo cover from the vehicle
or secure it on the cargo floor below its
attachment location. If the cargo cover
is not removed, it may damage the top
tether strap during a collision. Your
child could be seriously injured or
killed in a collision if the child restraint
top tether strap is damaged.
The tonneau cover keeps the luggage compart-
ment contents hidden from the outside. To remove the tonneau cover:
1. Remove the straps from the rear hatch.
2. Pull up the tonneau cover.
3. Remove the tonneau cover holders from the
rear pillar.
Instruments and controls2-55

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.

WARNING
• Do not leave children or adults who would normally require the support of
others alone in your vehicle. Pets
should not be left alone either. They
could accidentally injure themselves or
others through inadvertent operation
of the vehicle. Also, on hot, sunny days,
temperatures in a closed vehicle could
quickly become high enough to cause
severe or possibly fatal injuries to
people or animals.
• Properly secure all cargo with ropes or straps to help prevent it from sliding or
shifting. Do not place cargo higher
than the seatbacks. In a sudden stop or
collision, unsecured cargo could cause
personal injury.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM (TPMS)
Each tire, including the spare (if provided) ,
should be checked monthly when cold and in-
flated to the inflation pressure recommended by
the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard
or tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has
tires of a different size than the size indicated on
the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should determine the proper tire inflation
pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been
equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale
when one or more of your tires is significantly
under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire
pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and
check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate
them to the proper pressure. Driving on a signifi-
cantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to over-
heat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation
also reduces power efficiency and tire tread life,
and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stop-
ping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for
proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s
responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure,
even if under-inflation has not reached the level to
trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure
telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a
TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when the
system is not operating properly. The TPMS mal-
function indicator is combined with the low tire
pressure telltale. When the system detects a
malfunction, the telltale will flash for approxi-
mately one minute and then remain continuously
illuminated. This sequence will continue upon
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the mal-
function exists. When the malfunction indicator is
illuminated, the system may not be able to detect
or signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS
malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons,
including the installation of replacement or alter-
nate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent
the TPMS from functioning properly. Always
check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replac-
ing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to
ensure that the replacement or alternate tires and
wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function
properly.
Additional information
• The TPMS will activate only when the vehicle is
driven at speeds above 16 mph (25 km/h) . Also,
this system may not detect a sudden drop in tire
pressure (for example, a flat tire while driving) .
• The low tire pressure warning light does not automatically turn off when the tire pressure is
adjusted. After the tire is inflated to the recom-
mended pressure, the vehicle must be driven at
speeds above 16 mph (25 km/h) to active the
TPMS and turn off the low tire pressure warning
