The system helps deter vehicle thef t but
cannot prevent it, nor can it prevent the
thef t of interior or exterior vehicle compo-
nents in all situations. Always secure your
vehicle even if parking for a brief period.
Never leave your keys in the vehicle, and
always lock it when it is lef t unattended. Be
aware of your surroundings, and park in
secure, well-lit areas whenever possible.
Many devices offering additional protec-
tion, such as component locks, identifica-
tion markers, and tracking systems, are
available at auto supply stores and spe-
cialty shops. A NISSAN certified LEAF dealer
may also offer such equipment. Check with
your insurance company to see if you may
be eligible for discounts for various thef t
protection features.
How to arm the vehicle security
system
1. Close all windows.The system can be armed even if the
windows are open.
2. Place the power switch in the LOCK or OFF position and remove the Intelligent
Key from the vehicle. 3. Close all doors. Lock all doors. The doors
can be locked with:
• the LOCK
button on the Intelli-
gent Key
• any request switch
• the power door lock switch
4. Confirm that the security indicator light illuminates. The security indicator light
stays on for about 30 seconds. The ve-
hicle security system is now pre-armed.
Af ter about 30 seconds the vehicle se-
curity system automatically shif ts into
the armed phase. The security light be-
gins to flash once every approximately 3
seconds. If, during this 30-second pre-
arm time period, the door is unlocked, or
the power switch is placed in the ACC or
ON position, the system will not arm.
Even when the driver and/or passengers
are in the vehicle, the system will acti-
vate with all doors locked and the power
switch in the OFF position. When placing
the power switch to the ACC or ON posi-
tion, the system will be released.
Vehicle security system activation
The vehicle security system will give the
following alarm:
• The headlights blink and the horn sounds intermittently.
• The alarm automatically turns off af ter approximately 50 seconds. However, the
alarm reactivates if the vehicle is tam-
pered with again.
The alarm is activated by:
• Unlocking the door without using the In- telligent Key or the request switch. (Even if
the door is opened by releasing the door
inside lock knob, the alarm will activate.)
• Opening the hood.
How to stop an activated alarm
The alarm will stop when a door is un-
locked by pushing the UNLOCKbut-
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.

tion when driving at night.
If the parking brake is applied before the
power switch is in the READY to drive posi-
tion, the LED DRL system does not operate.

parking brake is released. The LED DRL sys-
tem will remain on until the power switch is
pushed to the OFF position.

OFF position
When the switch is in the OFF positionO3,
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,
see “Exterior and interior lights” (P. 8-23). 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, see “Programming HomeLink®”
(P. 2-72).
WARNING
• Your vehicle's EV system should be
turned off while programming the
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver. For
additional information, see “Push-
button power switch” (P. 5-9).
• 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.

–When driving in a makeshif t or
temporary lane.
– When driving on roads where the
lane width is too narrow.
– When driving without normal tire
conditions (for example, tire wear,
low tire pressure, installation of
spare tire, tire chains, nonstan-
dard wheels).
– When the vehicle is equipped with
non-original brake parts or sus-
pension parts.

lane markers are still detectable.
– On roads where there are sharp
curves. –
On roads where there are sharply
contrasting objects, such as shad-
ows, snow, water, wheel ruts,
seams or lines remaining af ter
road repairs. (The LDW system
could detect these items as lane
markers.)
– On roads where the traveling lane
merges or separates.
– When the vehicle’s traveling direc-
tion does not align with the lane
marker.
– When traveling close to the ve-
hicle in front of you, which ob-
structs the lane camera unit de-
tection range.
– When rain, snow, dirt or an object
adheres to the windshield in front
of the lane camera unit.
