warning appears each time the power
switch is placed in the ON position as long
as the low tire pressure warning light re-
mains illuminated.
If this warning appears, stop the vehicle and
adjust the tire pressure to the recom-
mended COLD tire pressure shown on the

Indicators for maintenance
These indicators appear when the cus-
tomer set distance comes for replacing
tires or other maintenance items. You can
set or reset the distance for replacing tires
and other maintenance items.
WARNING
The tire replacement indicator is not a
substitute for regular tire checks, in-
cluding tire pressure checks. For addi-
tional information, refer to “Changing
wheels and tires” in the “Maintenance
and do-it-yourself ” section of this
manual. Many factors including tire in-
flation, alignment, driving habits and
road conditions affect tire wear and
when tires should be replaced. Setting
the tire replacement indicator for a
certain driving distance does not
mean your tires will last that long. Use
the tire replacement indicator as a
guide only and always perform regular
tire checks. Failure to perform regular
tire checks, including tire pressure
checks could result in tire failure. Seri-
ous vehicle damage could occur and
may lead to a collision, which could re-
sult in serious personal injury or death. For scheduled maintenance items and in-
tervals, refer to the NISSAN Service and
Maintenance Guide.

2-44Instruments and controls

If the High Beam Assist indicator light does
not illuminate in the above condition, it may
indicate that the system is not functioning
properly. It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN certified LEAF dealer for this ser-
vice.
When the vehicle speed lowers to less than
approximately 12 mph (20 km/h), the head-
light remains the low beam.
To turn off the High Beam Assist system,
turn the headlight switch to the
posi-
tion or select the low beam position by
placing the lever in the neutral position.
Ambient image sensor maintenance:
The ambient image sensor for the High
Beam Assist system is located above the
inside mirror
1. To keep the proper opera-
tion of the High Beam Assist system and
prevent a system malfunction, be sure to
observe the following:
• Always keep the windshield clean.
• Do not attach a sticker (including trans- parent material) or install an accessory
near the ambient image sensor.
• Do not strike or damage the areas around the ambient image sensor. If the ambient image sensor is damaged
due to an accident, it is recommended that
you visit a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer for
this service.

Instruments and controls2-57

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.
