2021 NISSAN LEAF window

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
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. 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.
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 uninten-
tionally 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 assistance of others or pets unat-
tended in your vehicle. Additionally,
the temperature inside a closed ve-
hicle on a warm day can quickly be-
come high enough to cause a signifi-
cant risk of injury or death to people
and pets.

Foldable outside mirrors
Pull the outside mirror toward the door to
fold it.
Heated mirrors (if so equipped)
Some outside mirrors can be heated to
defrost, defog, or de-ice for improved vis-
ibility. For additional information, see “Rear
window and outside mirror defroster
switch” (P. 2-47).

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 be-
fore operating the vehicle. Always
back up slowly.
• The system is designed as an aid to
the driver in showing large station-
ary objects directly behind the ve-
hicle, to help avoid damaging the
vehicle.
• 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

REARVIEW MONITOR SYSTEM
OPERATION
With the EV (electric vehicle) system on and
in “READY to drive”, move the shif t lever to
the R (Reverse) position to operate the
RearView Monitor.

• Power consumption of the climate con-trol system varies depending on the out-
side temperature and the temperature
set for the climate control system. Power
consumption increases if the interior
temperature is cooled down too much in
summer or if it warmed up too much in
winter. This will result in a reduced driving
range.
• Using the AUTO mode will help reduce the power consumption of the climate
control. • When the AUTO button is pressed, the
AUTO indicator illuminates. The
HEAT button indicator or the A/C button
indicator illuminates according to the op-
eration of the climate control system.
• If any of the MODE, A/C,
HEAT,fan speed control,front defroster is
pushed when the AUTO indicator illumi-
nates, the AUTO indicator will be turned
off.
• If the charge connector is connected to the vehicle when it is in the READY to drive
mode and the air conditioner or heater is
on, the power switch automatically
changes to the ON position. Place the
power switch in the off position to begin
charging. Turn on the desired climate
control function.
• For normal charge, the climate control system is operative when charging op-
eration is complete. For quick charge
however, the climate control system
stops operating when charging opera-
tion stops.
• The climate control timer or remote cli- mate control (for models with Navigation
System) may fog up windows depending
on the set temperature or outside
temperature. • When turning on the seat heater (if so
equipped) switch prior to operating the
climate control timer or the remote cli-
mate control (for models with Navigation
System), the seat heater will also turn on
automatically when the outside tem-
perature is low.
IN-CABIN MICROFILTER
The climate control system is equipped
with an in-cabin microfilter which collects
dirt, dust etc. To make sure the air condi-
tioner heats defogs, and ventilates effi-
ciently, replace the filter regularly. To re-
place the filter, it is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer.
The filter should be replaced if the air
flow decreases significantly or if win-
dows fog up easily when operating the
climate control system.

ton is operated while AUTO is in use, all
the other buttons operate in AUTO
mode.
• While the AUTO indicator is illuminated, electric power consumption of the air
conditioner can be economized com-
pared to the amount consumed while
the AUTO indicator is not illuminated.
The HEAT indicator light and the A/C indi-
cator light illuminates according to the op-

Ventilation
Press the
HEAT button and A/C but-
ton if the indicator lights are on so that
both indicator lights turn off.
NOTE:
• The ventilation mode requires a lower power consumption, so cruising dis-
tance will increase.
• In ventilation mode, temperature is not indicated on the air conditioner
display.
Dehumidified defrosting/defogging
Press the
front defroster button (the
indicator light will illuminate).
• To remove moisture or fog on the front window quickly, set the temperature to
the high temperature and the fan speed
to their maximum level.
• Af ter the windshield is cleared, press the
front defroster button again (the in-
dicator light will turn off ).
• When the
front defroster button is
pressed, the air conditioner will automati-
cally turn on to defog the windshield. The
outside air recirculation mode will be se-
lected to improve the defogging
performance. Fan speed control
Turn the
fan speed control dial to
manually control the fan speed.
Press the AUTO button to change the fan
speed to the automatic mode.

lets and foot outlets.
Air flows from the defroster
vents. Temperature control
Turn the temperature control dial to set the
desired temperature.
Recirculation
Press the
intake air control button to
change the air circulation mode. When the
indicator light illuminates, the flowing air is
recirculated inside the vehicle.
When the outside temperature exceeds
70°F (21°C) the air conditioning system may
default to air recirculation mode automati-
cally to reduce overall power consumption.
To exit air recirculation mode, deselect the
air recirculation button (indicator will turn
off ) to enter fresh mode.
Fresh air
Press the
intake air control button to
change the air circulation mode. When the
indicator light does not illuminate, the flow-
ing air is drawn from outside the vehicle.
Automatic air intake control
