Never leave the Intelligent Key in the vehicle when you leave the vehicle.
The Intelligent Key is always communicating with
the vehicle because it receives radio waves. The
Intelligent Key system transmits weak radio
waves. Environmental conditions may interfere
with the operation 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 broadcasting station.
When in possession of wireless equipment, such as a cellular phone, transceiver or CB
radio.
When the Intelligent Key is in contact with or covered by metallic materials.
When any type of radio wave remote control is used nearby.
When the Intelligent Key is placed near an elec- tric appliance such as a personal computer.

peratures exceed 140°F (60°C) .
Do not attach the Intelligent Key with a key holder that contains a magnet.
Do not place the Intelligent Key near equipment that produces a magnetic
field, such as a TV, audio equipment,
personal computers or cellular phone.
The remote keyless entry function can operate all

ADJUSTING THE SCREEN
The procedure for adjusting the quality of the
screen differs depending on the type of screen
present on the vehicle.
For vehicles without Navigation System:
1. Press the ENTER/SETTING button.
2. Turn the TUNE-SCROLL knob to highlight the “Brightness” or “Contrast” key.
3. Press the ENTER/SETTING button.
4. Adjust the level using the TUNE-SCROLL knob and then press the ENTER/SETTING
button to apply the adjustment. Do not adjust the Brightness or Contrast of the
RearView Monitor while the vehicle is moving.
OPERATING TIPS
When the shift selector is shifted to R (Re-verse) , the monitor screen automatically
changes to the RearView Monitor mode. How-
ever, the radio can be heard.
It may take some time until the RearView Moni- tor is displayed after the shift selector has been
shifted to R (Reverse) . Objects may be dis-
torted momentarily until the RearView Monitor
screen is displayed completely. When the shift
selector is returned to a position other than R
(Reverse) , it may take some time until the
screen changes. Objects on the screen may be
distorted until they are completely displayed.
When the temperature is extremely high or low, the screen may not clearly display objects. This
is not a malfunction.
When strong light directly enters the camera, objects may not be displayed clearly.
Vertical lines may be seen in objects on the screen. This is due to strong reflected light from
the bumper. This is not a malfunction.
The screen may flicker under fluorescent light. This is not a malfunction.

DISPLAYING CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM
STATUS SCREEN (MODELS WITH NAVIGA-
TION SYSTEM)
Push the STATUS button to display the climate
control system status on the navigation system
screen. (See the LEAF Navigation System Own-
er’s Manual.)
NOTE:
If the READY to drive indicator light is
illuminated and the EVSE (Electric Vehicle
Supply Equipment) is connected to the
vehicle, the power switch will change to
the ON position. At the same time, the
climate control system will stop operat-
ing. However, the fan will continue to op-
erate. If you want to turn on climate con-
trol again, place the power switch in the
OFF position and then place it in the ON
position again after confirming that the
vehicle has started charging.
When the power switch is in the ON posi-
tion, if the power supply from the EVSE
(Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) is in-
terrupted due to an electrical outage, etc.,
the system will operate in the following
ways. – If it occurs while charging is being per-
formed:– The climate control system will stop
once. If the power supply is restored
within approximately 5 minutes, the
climate control system will restart.
However, if more than 5 minutes
have elapsed, the climate control
system will not restart.
– If it occurs after charging has finished: –The climate control system will stop.

Automatic operation (AUTO)
The AUTO mode may be used year-round as the
system automatically controls constant tempera-
ture, air flow distribution and fan speed.
To turn off the climate control, push the A/C-
Heater ON·OFF button.
The same operating mode (Heater or A/C) that
was active when the system is turned off is active
when system is turned back on.
While operating the climate control in the AUTO
mode, selecting any other climate control button
de-activates the AUTO mode and activates
manual mode.
Cooling and/or dehumidified heating:
The dehumidified heating mode can be used to
keep the windows from fogging. In this mode, the
heat pump compressor is used in A/C mode for
dehumidifying the air instead of heating it. The
PTC heater is also used in conjunction to heat the
air. This mode will increase energy consumption
and therefore reduce range.
