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 detec-
tion type system that activates when a ve-
hicle is moved or when a vibration occurs.
The system helps deter vehicle thef t but
cannot prevent it, nor can it prevent the
thef t of interior or exterior vehicle compo-
nents in all situations. Always secure your
vehicle even if parking for a brief period.
Never leave your keys in the vehicle, and
always lock it when it is lef t unattended.
Be aware of your surroundings, and park in
secure, well-lit areas whenever possible.
Many devices offering additional protec-
tion, such as component locks, identifica-
tion markers, and tracking systems, are
available at auto supply stores and spe-
cialty 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 thef t
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
4. Confirm that the security indicator light illuminates. The security indicator light
stays on for about 30 seconds. The ve-
hicle security system is now pre-armed.
Af ter about 30 seconds the vehicle se-
curity system automatically shif ts into
the armed phase. The security light be-
gins 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 acti-
vate with all doors locked and the power
switch in the OFF position. When placing
the power switch to the ACC or ON posi-
tion, 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 af ter approximately 50 seconds. However, the
alarm reactivates if the vehicle is tam-
pered with again.
The alarm is activated by:
• Unlocking the door without using the In- telligent 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.

CAUTION
• Do not allow the Intelligent Key, which contains electrical compo-
nents, to come into contact with wa-
ter 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 modif y the Intelli- gent Key.
• The Intelligent Key may be damaged if it gets wet. If the Intelligent Key
gets wet, immediately wipe until it is
completely dry.
• If the outside temperature is below 14°F (−10°C), the battery of the Intel-
ligent Key may not function prop-
erly.
• Do not place the Intelligent Key for an extended period in an area where
temperatures 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 mag-
netic field, such as a TV, audio equip-
ment, personal computer or cellular
phone. If an Intelligent Key is lost or stolen, NISSAN
recommends erasing the ID code of that
Intelligent Key from the vehicle. This may
prevent the unauthorized use of the Intelli-
gent Key to operate the vehicle. For addi-
tional information, it is recommended that
you visit a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer.
The Intelligent Key function can be dis-
abled. For additional information, it is rec-
ommended that you visit a NISSAN certi-
fied LEAF dealer.

WARNING
• Radio waves could adversely affect electric medical equipment. Those
who use a pacemaker should con-
tact the electric medical equipment
manufacturer for the possible influ-
ences before use.
• The Intelligent Key transmits radio waves when the buttons are
pressed. The FAA advises that the
radio waves may affect aircraf t
navigation and communication sys-
tems. Do not operate the Intelligent
Key while on an airplane. Make sure
the buttons are not operated unin-
tentionally when the unit is stored
during a flight.
CAUTION
• Do not allow the Intelligent Key, which contains electrical compo-
nents, to come into contact with
water or salt water. This could affect
the system function.
• Do not drop the Intelligent Key.
• Do not strike the Intelligent Key sharply against another object.
• Do not change or modif y the Intelli- gent Key.
• Wetting may damage the Intelligent Key. If the Intelligent Key gets wet,
immediately wipe until it is com-
pletely dry.
• Do not place the Intelligent Key for an extended period in an area where
temperatures exceed 140°F (60°C).
• Do not attach the Intelligent Key with a key holder that contains a
magnet.
• Do not place the Intelligent Key near equipment that produces a mag-
netic field, such as a TV, audio equip-
ment, personal computers or cellu-
lar phone. The remote keyless entry function can op-
erate all door locks using the remote key-
less entry function of the Intelligent Key.
The remote keyless entry function can
operate at a distance of approximately
33 f t (10 m) from the vehicle. The operating
distance depends upon the conditions
around the vehicle.
The remote keyless entry function will not
operate:
• When the Intelligent Key is not within the
operational range.

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use of the Rear-
View Monitor system could result in se-
rious injury or death. • RearView Monitor is a convenience
feature 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.
REARVIEW MONITOR (IF SO
EQUIPPED)
4-4Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems

• The system is designed as an aid tothe driver in showing large station-
ary objects directly behind the ve-
hicle, to help avoid damaging the ve-
hicle.
• The distance guide line and the ve- hicle 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 refer-
ence only and may be different than
the actual distance between the ve-
hicle 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 automati-
cally shows a rear view of the vehicle when
the shif t lever is shif ted into the R (Reverse)
position. The radio can still be heard while
the RearView Monitor is active.
To display the rear view, the RearView Moni-
tor system uses a camera located just
above the vehicle’s license plate
