SECURITY SYSTEMS
Instruments and controls2-47

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.

Security Indicator Light
The security indicator light is located on
the meter panel. It indicates the status of
the NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System.
The light blinks af ter the power switch was
in the ACC or OFF position. This function
indicates the security systems equipped
on the vehicle are operational.
If the NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System is
malfunctioning, this light will remain on
while the power switch is in the ON posi-
tion.If the light still remains on and/or the
power switch cannot be placed in the
READY to drive position, have the system
checked. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer for
this service as soon as possible. Please
bring all registered keys that you have
when visiting a NISSAN certified LEAF
dealer for service.
WARNING
In freezing temperatures the washer
solution may freeze on the windshield
and obscure your vision which may
lead to an accident. Warm the wind-
shield with the defroster before you
wash the windshield.
CAUTION
• Do not operate the washer continu- ously for more than 30 seconds.
• Do not operate the washer if the windshield-washer fluid reservoir is
empty.
• Do not fill the windshield-washer fluid reservoir with windshield-
washer fluid concentrates at full
strength. Some methyl alcohol
based windshield-washer fluid con-
centrates may permanently stain
the grille if spilled while filling the
windshield-washer fluid reservoir.

A key number plate is supplied with your
keys. Record the key number and keep it in
a safe place (such as your wallet), not in the
vehicle. If you lose your keys, it is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN certified
LEAF dealer for duplicates by using the key
number. NISSAN does not record any key
numbers so it is very important to keep
track of your key number plate.
A key number is only necessary when you
have lost all keys and do not have one to
duplicate from. If you still have a key, it can
be duplicated without knowing the key
number.
NOTE:
Do not leave the keys inside the vehicle
when leaving the vehicle.
NISSAN INTELLIGENT KEY®
1. Intelligent Key (two sets)
2. Mechanical key (inside Intelligent Key)
3. Key number plate (one plate)
Your vehicle can only be driven with the
Intelligent Keys which are registered to
your vehicle’s Intelligent Key system com-
ponents and NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer
System components.
As many as four Intelligent Keys can be
registered and used with one vehicle. The
new keys must be registered by a NISSANcertified LEAF dealer prior to use with the
Intelligent Key system and NISSAN Vehicle
Immobilizer System of your vehicle. Since
the registration process requires erasing all
memory in the Intelligent Key components
when registering new keys, be sure to take
all Intelligent Keys that you have to the
NISSAN certified LEAF dealer.
CAUTION
Be sure to carry the Intelligent Key with
you when driving. The Intelligent Key is
a precision device with a built-in trans-
mitter. To avoid damaging it, please
note the following.
• The Intelligent Key is water resis- tant; however, wetting may damage
the Intelligent Key. If the Intelligent
Key gets wet, immediately wipe until
it is completely dry.
• Do not bend, drop or strike it against another object.
• If the outside temperature is below 14°F (-10°C) degrees, the battery of
the Intelligent Key may not function
properly.
• Do not place the Intelligent Key for an extended period in a place where
temperatures exceed 140°F (60°C).
KEYS
3-2Pre-driving checks and adjustments

• Do not change or modif y the Intelli-gent Key.
• Do not use a magnet key holder.
• Do not place the Intelligent Key near an electric appliance such as a tele-
vision set, personal computer or cel-
lular phone.
• Do not allow the Intelligent Key to come into contact with water or salt
water, and do not wash it in a wash-
ing machine. This could affect the
system function.
If an Intelligent Key is lost or stolen,
NISSAN recommends erasing the ID
code of that Intelligent Key. This will
prevent the Intelligent Key from unau-
thorized use to unlock the vehicle. For
information regarding the erasing pro-
cedure, it is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer.
Mechanical key
To remove the mechanical key, release the
lock knob at the back of the Intelligent Key.
To install the mechanical key, firmly insert it
into the Intelligent Key until the lock knob
returns to the lock position.
Use the mechanical key to lock or unlock
the doors. For additional information, refer
to “Doors” in this section.
CAUTION
Always carry the mechanical key in-
stalled in the Intelligent Key.
NISSAN VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER
SYSTEM KEYS
You can only drive your vehicle using the
master keys which are registered to the
NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System com-
ponents in your vehicle. These keys have a
transponder chip in the key head.
The master key can be used for all the
locks.
To protect belongings when you leave a
key with someone, give them the Intelligent
Key only, not the mechanical key.
Never leave these keys in the vehicle.
Additional or replacement keys:
If you still have a key, the key number is not
necessary when you need extra NISSAN
Vehicle Immobilizer System keys. A NISSAN
certified LEAF dealer can duplicate your ex-
isting key. As many as four NISSAN Vehicle
Immobilizer System keys can be used with
one vehicle. You should bring all NISSAN
Vehicle Immobilizer System keys that you
have to the NISSAN certified LEAF dealer for
registration. This is because the registra-
tion process will erase the memory of all
key codes previously registered into the
Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-3

NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System. Af ter
the registration process, these compo-
nents 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 registra-
tion will no longer be able to start your
vehicle.
CAUTION
Do not allow the immobilizer system
key, which contains an electrical tran-
sponder, to come into contact with wa-
ter or salt water. This could affect sys-
tem 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
unintentionally 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 inadver-
tent door lock activation, do not leave
children, people who require the as-
sistance 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.
