SECURITY SYSTEMS
Instruments and controls2-47

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.

How to stop an activated alarm
The alarm will stop when a door is un-
locked by pushing the UNLOCK
but-
ton on the Intelligent Key, door handle re-
quest switch, or when the power switch is
pushed in the ACC or ON position.
If the system does not operate as de-
scribed above, have it checked. It is rec-
ommended that you visit a NISSAN certi-
fied LEAF dealer for this service.
NISSAN VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER
SYSTEM
The NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System
will not allow the power switch to be placed
in the READY to drive position without the
use of the registered key.
If the power switch fails to place the vehicle
into the READY to drive position using the
registered key, it may be due to interfer-
ence caused by another registered key, an
automated toll road device or automated
payment device on the key ring. Restart the
EV system using the following procedure:
1. Leave the power switch in the ON posi- tion for approximately 5 seconds. 2. Place the power switch in the OFF posi-
tion and wait approximately 10 seconds.
3. Repeat step 1 and 2 again.
4. Place the power switch in the READY to drive position while holding the device
(which may have caused the interfer-
ence) separate from the registered key.
If this procedure allows the power
switch to be placed in the READY to drive
mode, NISSAN recommends placing the
registered key on a separate key ring to
avoid interference from other devices.

The front seats and the rear outboard
seats (if so equipped) can be warmed by
built-in heaters. The switches, located on
the center console and at the side of the
front passenger seatback, can be operated
independently of each other.
1.
Place the power switch in the ON position.
2. Push the LO or HI position of the switch,as desired, depending on the tempera-
ture. The indicator light in the switch will
illuminate.
3. To turn off the heater, return the switch to the level position. Make sure the indi-
cator light goes off.
The heater is controlled by a thermostat,
automatically turning the heater on and
off. The indicator light will remain on as long
as the switch is on.
When the vehicle’s interior is warmed, or
before you leave the vehicle, be sure to turn
the switch off.
NOTE:
The heated seats consume less power
than the heater and can be used to either
help extend vehicle range by reducing
heater use or to maximize comfort by
supplementing the heater.
WARNING
Do not use or allow occupants to use
the seat heater if you or the occupants
cannot monitor elevated seat tem-
peratures or have an inability to feel
pain in those body parts in contact
with the seat. Use of the seat heater by
such people could result in serious in-
jury.
CAUTION
• Do not use the seat heater for ex- tended periods or when no one is
using the seat.
• Do not put anything on the seat which insulates heat, such as a blan-
ket, cushion, seat cover, etc. Other-
wise, the seat may become over-
heated. • Do not place anything hard or heavy
on the seat or pierce it with a pin or
similar object. This may result in
damage to the heater.
• Any liquid spilled on the heated seat should be removed immediately
with a dry cloth.
• When cleaning the seat, never use gasoline, thinner, or any similar ma-
terials.
• If any malfunctions are found or the heated seat does not operate, turn
the switch off and have the system
checked. It is recommended that
you visit a NISSAN certified LEAF
dealer for this service.
