HOW TO USE REMOTE KEYLESS
ENTRY FUNCTION
WARNING
Radio waves could adversely affect electric medical equipment. Those
who use a pacemaker should contact
the electric medical equipment manu-
facturer for the possible influences be-
fore use.
The Intelligent Key transmits radio waves when the buttons are pushed.
The FAA advises that the radio waves
may affect aircraft navigation and
communication systems. Do not oper-
ate the Intelligent Key while on an air-
plane. Make sure the buttons are not
operated unintentionally when the unit
is stored during a flight.
CAUTION
Do not allow the Intelligent Key, which contains electrical components, to
come into contact with water or salt
water. This could affect the system
function.
Do not drop the Intelligent Key. Do not strike the Intelligent Key
sharply against another object.
Do not change or modify the Intelli- gent Key.
Wetting may damage the Intelligent Key. If the Intelligent Key gets wet,
immediately wipe until it is completely
dry.
Do not place the Intelligent Key for an extended period in an area where tem-
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
door locks using the remote keyless entry func-
tion of the Intelligent Key. The remote keyless
entry function can operate at a distance of ap-
proximately 33 ft (10 m) from the vehicle. (The
operating distance depends upon the conditions
around the vehicle.)
The remote keyless entry function will not oper-
ate:
When the Intelligent Key is not within the opera- tional range. When the doors are open or not closed se-
curely.
When the Intelligent Key battery is discharged.
The remote keyless entry function can also oper-
ate the vehicle alarm.
Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-13

The predicted charging time displayed on
the meter and navigation system in-
creases when the Li-ion battery warmer
operates.
Vehicle range may be substantially re-
duced in extremely cold conditions (for
example under -4°F (-20°C)) .
Using the climate control system to heat
the cabin when outside temperature is
below 32°F (0°C) uses more electricity and
affects vehicle range more than when us-
ing the heater when the temperature is
above 32°F (0°C) .
Climate control performance is reduced
when using the Climate Ctrl. Timer or Re-
mote Climate Control while the Li-ion bat-
tery warmer operates. Set only the charg-
ing timer [End Time] when charging in
cold weather. The vehicle automatically
determines when to start charging to fully
charge the Li-ion battery, even if the Li-ion
battery warmer operates. Charging ends
before the set end time if the Li-ion bat-
tery is fully charged.FREEING A FROZEN DOOR LOCK
To prevent a door lock from freezing, apply deicer
through the key hole. If the lock becomes frozen,
heat the key before inserting it into the key hole or
use the remote keyless entry keyfob.
ANTIFREEZE
In the winter when it is possible that the outside
temperature will drop below 32°F (0°C) , check
the antifreeze to ensure proper winter protection.
For additional information, see Cooling system
in the Maintenance and do-it-yourself section.
12-VOLT BATTERY
If the 12-volt battery is not fully charged during
extremely cold weather conditions, the 12-volt
battery fluid may freeze and damage the 12-volt
battery. To maintain maximum efficiency, the 12-
volt battery should be checked regularly. For ad-
ditional information, see12-volt batteryin the
Maintenance and do-it-yourself section.
DRAINING OF COOLANT WATER
If the vehicle is to be left outside without anti-
freeze, drain the cooling system. Refill before
operating the vehicle. For details, see Coolingsystem
in theMaintenance and do-it-yourself
section.
TIRE EQUIPMENT
SUMMER tires have a tread designed to provide
superior performance on dry pavement. How-
ever, the performance of these tires will be sub-
stantially reduced in snowy and icy conditions. If
you operate your vehicle on snowy or icy roads,
NISSAN recommends the use of MUD & SNOW
or ALL SEASON tires on all four wheels. Consult
a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer for the tire type,
size, speed rating and availability information.
For additional traction on icy roads, studded tires
may be used. However, some U.S. states and
Canadian provinces prohibit their use. Check
local, state and provincial laws before installing
studded tires.
Skid and traction capabilities of studded
snow tires, on wet or dry surfaces, may be
poorer than that of non-studded snow tires.
Tire chains may be used. For details, see Tire
chains in theMaintenance and do-it-yourself
section.
