2019 NISSAN LEAF maintenance

OFF position
When the switch is in the OFF position3,
the ceiling light will not illuminate, regard-
less of the condition.
CARGO LIGHT
The light illuminates when the rear hatch is
opened. When the rear hatch is closed, the
light goes off. For additional information,
refer to “Exterior and interior lights” in the
“Maintenance and do-it-yourself ” section
of this manual. The HomeLink® Universal Transceiver pro-
vides a convenient way to consolidate the
functions of up to three individual hand-
held transmitters into one built-in device.
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver:
• Will operate most Radio Frequency (RF)
devices such as garage doors, gates,
home and office lighting, entry door locks
and security systems.
• Is powered by the vehicle’s 12-volt battery. No separate batteries are required. If the
vehicle’s 12-volt battery is discharged or is
disconnected, HomeLink® will retain all
programming.
Once the HomeLink® Universal Trans-
ceiver is programmed, retain the original
transmitter for future programming pro-
cedures (for example, new vehicle pur-
chases). Upon sale of the vehicle, the
programmed HomeLink® Universal Trans-
ceiver buttons should be erased for secu-
rity purposes. For additional information,
refer to “Programming HomeLink®” in this
section.
WARNING
• Do not use the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver with any garage door
opener that lacks safety stop and re-
verse features as required by federal
safety standards. (These standards
became effective for opener models
manufactured af ter April 1, 1982.) A
garage door opener that cannot de-
tect an object in the path of a closing
garage door and then automatically
stop and reverse, does not meet cur-
rent federal safety standards. Using
a garage door opener without these
features increases the risk of serious
injury or death.
• During the programming procedure, your garage door or security gate
will open or close (if the transmitter
is within range). Make sure that
people or objects are clear of the ga-
rage door, gate, etc. that you are pro-
gramming.
• Place the power switch in the ACC or ON position while programming the
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver.

Be sure to read the following items before
using the Intelligent Key system.
CAUTION
• Be sure to carry the Intelligent Key with you when operating the ve-
hicle.
• Never leave the Intelligent Key in the vehicle when you leave the vehicle.
The Intelligent Key is always communicat-
ing with the vehicle because it receives ra-
dio waves. The Intelligent Key system
transmits weak radio waves. Environmen-
tal conditions may interfere with the op-
eration 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 broadcast-
ing station.
• When in possession of wireless equip- ment, 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 con- trol is used nearby.
• When the Intelligent Key is placed near an electric appliance such as a personal
computer.
• When the vehicle is parked near a parking meter.
In such cases, correct the operating condi-
tions before using the Intelligent Key func-
tion or use the mechanical key.
Although the life of the battery varies de-
pending on the operating conditions, the
battery’s life is approximately two years. If
the battery is discharged, replace it with a
new one.
When the Intelligent Key battery is almost
discharged, firmly apply the foot brake and
touch the power switch with the Intelligent
Key. Then push the power switch while de-
pressing the brake pedal within 10 seconds
af ter the chime sound. Since the Intelligent Key is continuously re-
ceiving radio waves, if the key is lef t near
equipment that transmits strong radio
waves, such as signals from a TV or per-
sonal computer, the battery life may be-
come shorter.
For additional information, refer to “NISSAN
Intelligent Key® battery replacement” in the
“Maintenance and do-it-yourself ” section
of this manual.
Pay special attention that the vehicle bat-
tery is not completely discharged.
As many as four Intelligent Keys can be
registered and used with one vehicle. For
information about the purchase and use of
additional Intelligent Keys, it is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN certified
LEAF dealer.

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
• Do not use alcohol, benzine or thin- ner to clean the camera. This will
cause discoloration.
• Do not damage the camera as the monitor screen may be adversely
affected. If dirt, rain or snow accumulates on the
camera
1, the RearView Monitor may not
display objects clearly. Clean the camera
by wiping it with a cloth dampened with a
diluted mild cleaning agent and then wip-
ing it with a dry cloth.

• Do not damage the cameras as the monitor screen may be adversely af-
fected. If dirt, rain or snow accumulates on any of
the cameras

Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems4-25

• Excessive noise (for example, audiosystem volume or open vehicle win-
dow) will interfere with the chime
sound, and it may not be heard.
• The MOD system performance will be limited according to environmen-
tal conditions and surrounding ob-
jects such as:
– When there is low contrast be-tween background and the mov-
ing objects.
– When there is a blinking source of light.
– When strong light such as another vehicle’s headlight or sunlight is
present.
– When camera orientation is not in its usual position, such as when a
mirror is folded.
– When there is dirt, water drops or snow on the camera lens.
– When the position of the moving objects in the display is not
changed.
• The MOD system might detect flow- ing water droplets on the camera
lens, white smoke from the muffler,
moving shadows, etc. • The MOD system may not function
properly depending on the speed,
direction, distance or shape of the
moving objects.
• If your vehicle sustains damage to the parts where the camera is in-
stalled, leaving it misaligned or bent,
the sensing zone may be altered and
the MOD system may not detect ob-
jects properly.
• When the temperature is extremely high or low, the screen may not dis-
play objects clearly. This is not a
malfunction.
NOTE:
The blue MOD icon will change to orange
if one of the following has occurred:
•When the system is malfunctioning.
• When the component temperature
reaches a high level (icon will blink).
If the icon light continues to illuminate
orange, have the MOD system checked.
It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN certified LEAF dealer for this
service.
