vehicle or its systems, including en-
trapment in windows or inadvertent
door lock activation, do not leave
children, people who require the as-
sistance 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.

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 de-vices such as garage doors, gates, home
and office lighting, entry door locks and
security systems.
• Is powered by your vehicle's 12–volt bat- tery. No separate batteries are required. If
the vehicle's 12–volt battery is discharged
or is disconnected, HomeLink® will retain
all programming.
When the HomeLink® Universal Trans-
ceiver is programmed, retain the original
transmitter for future programming pro-
cedures (Example: new vehicle pur-
chases). Upon sale of the vehicle, the
programmed HomeLink® Universal
Transceiver buttons should be erased for
security purposes. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Programming
HomeLink®” in this section.WARNING
• Your vehicle's EV system should be
turned off while programming the
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver. For
additional information, refer to
“Push-button power switch” in the
“Starting and driving” section of this
manual.
• 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 which cannot
detect an object in the path of a clos-
ing garage door and then automati-
cally stop and reverse, does not meet
current federal safety standards. Us-
ing 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 and close (if the transmitter is
within range). Make sure that people
or objects are clear of the garage
door, gate, etc. that you are
programming.PROGRAMMING HOMELINK®
If you have any questions or are having
difficulty programming your HomeLink®
buttons, refer to the HomeLink® web site at:
www.homelink.com or call 1-800-355-3515.
NOTE:
Place the power switch in the ON or ACC
position (without starting the EV system)
when programming HomeLink®. It is also
recommended that a new battery be
placed in the hand-held transmitter of
the device being programmed to
HomeLink® for quicker programming
and accurate transmission of the radio
frequency.

•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 televi-
sion set, personal computer or cellu-
lar 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 driver’s door. For additional informa-
tion, 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
NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System. Af ter
SPA2033
Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-3

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 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 assis-
tance 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 contact
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 radio waves
may affect aircraf t navigation and
communication systems. Do not op-
erate the Intelligent Key while on an
airplane. Make sure the buttons are
not operated unintentionally when
the unit is stored during a flight.
The Intelligent Key system can operate all
the door and the rear hatch locks by using
the remote control function or pushing the
request switch on the vehicle without tak-
ing the key out from a pocket or purse. The
operating environment and/or conditions
may affect the Intelligent Key system op-
eration.
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 vehicle.
• 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 broad-
casting station.
• When in possession of wireless equip- ment, such as a cellular phone, trans-
ceiver 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
