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.

WARNING
• Radio waves could adversely affect electric medical equipment. Those
who use a pacemaker should con-
tact the electric medical equipment
manufacturer for the possible influ-
ences before use.
• The Intelligent Key transmits radio waves when the buttons are
pressed. The FAA advises that the ra-
dio waves may affect aircraf t navi-
gation and communication sys-
tems. Do not operate the Intelligent
Key while on an airplane. Make sure
the buttons are not operated unin-
tentionally when the unit is stored
during a flight.

NISSAN INTELLIGENT KEY® SYSTEM
3-6Pre-driving checks and adjustments

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.
