vates if the vehicle is tampered with again.

Unlocking the door without using the Intelligent Key, the request switch or the key. (Even if the
door is opened by releasing the door inside lock
knob, the alarm will activate.)
How to stop an activated alarm
The alarm will stop when a door is unlocked by
pushing the UNLOCK

ligent Key, door handle request switch or using
the mechanical key, or when the power switch is
pushed in the ACC or ON position.

fied LEAF dealer.
NISSAN VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER
SYSTEM
The NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System will not
allow the power switch to be placed in the
READY to drive position without the use of the
registered key.
If the power switch fails to place the vehicle into
the READY to drive position using the registered key, it may be due to interference caused by
another registered key, an automated toll road
device or automated payment device on the key
ring. Restart the EV system using the following
procedure:
1. Leave the power switch in the ON position for
approximately 5 seconds.
2. Place the power switch in the OFF position and wait approximately 10 seconds.
3. Repeat step 1 and 2 again.
4. Place the power switch in the READY to drive position while holding the device (which may
have caused the interference) separate from
the registered key.
If this procedure allows power switch in the
READY to drive mode, NISSAN recommends
placing the registered key on a separate key
ring to avoid interference from other devices.
