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.

system

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:

button on the Intelligent
Key
• any request 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.

EQUIPPED)
2-60Instruments and controls

The Rear Door Alert system functions un-
der certain conditions to indicate there
may be an object or passenger in the rear
seat(s). Check the seat(s) before exiting the
vehicle.
The Rear Door Alert system is initially dis-
abled. The driver can enable the system
using the vehicle information display. For
additional information, refer to “Vehicle in-
formation display warnings and indicators”
in this section.
When the system is enabled:
• The system is activated when a rear dooris opened and closed approximately
10 minutes before the vehicle is started.
When the vehicle is started and the sys-
tem is activated, a visual message ap-
pears in the vehicle information display.
For additional information, refer to “Rear
Door Alert is activated” in this section.
• If a rear door is opened and closed but the vehicle is not started within approximately
10 minutes, the system will not be acti-
vated. A rear door must be opened and
closed and the car started within 10 min-
utes for the system to activate. When the Rear Door Alert system is acti-
vated:
• When the driver puts the vehicle in the P
(Park) position, a message appears in the
vehicle information display with the op-
tions to “Dismiss Message” or “Disable
Alert” if desired. – Select “Disable Alert” to temporarily dis-able for that stop.
– No selection or “Dismiss Message” will keep the alert enabled for that stop.
• If the alert is enabled when a driver exits the vehicle, a message will appear in the
vehicle information display that states
“Check Rear Seat for All Articles”
• If “Horn & Alert” setting is selected:
• An audible horn sound will occur af ter a short time unless a rear door is opened
and closed within a short time to deacti-
vate the alert.
• If the doors are locked before the alert is deactivated by opening a rear door, the
horn will sound.
• If the hatch is opened before a rear door is opened, the horn will be delayed until af ter
the hatch is closed.NOTE:
If “Alert Only ” setting is selected, the
message alert will still be shown in the
vehicle information display but the horn
will not sound.
WARNING
• If the driver selects “Disable Alert”, no audible alert will be provided re-
gardless of rear door open/close
status.
• There may be times when there is an object or passenger in the rear
seat(s) but the audible alert does not
sound. For example, this may occur
if the EV system is turned off and
then on again in a short period of
time during a trip, or if rear seat pas-
sengers enter or exit the vehicle dur-
ing a trip.
• The system does not directly detect objects or passengers in the rear
seat(s). Instead, it can detect when a
rear door is opened and closed, indi-
cating that there may be something
in the rear seat(s).
