warning light NISSAN LEAF 2014 1.G Workshop Manual

The front seats and the rear outboard seats can
be warmed by built-in heaters. The switches lo-
cated on the center console and at the side of the
front passenger seatback can be operated inde-
pendently of each other.
1. Place the power switch in the ON position.
2. Push the LO or HI position of the switch, as
desired, depending on the temperature. The
indicator light in the switch will illuminate.
3. To turn off the heater, return the switch to the
level position. Make sure the indicator light
goes off.
The heater is controlled by a thermostat, auto-
matically turning the heater on and off. The indi-
cator light will remain on as long as the switch is
on.
When the vehicle’s interior is warmed, or before
you leave the vehicle, be sure to turn the switch
off.
NOTE:
The heated seats consumes less power
than the heater and can be used to either
help extend vehicle range by reducing
heater use or to maximize comfort by
supplementing the heater.
WARNING
Do not use or allow occupants to use the
seat heater if you or the occupants can-
not monitor elevated seat temperatures
or have an inability to feel pain in those
body parts in contact with the seat. Use of
the seat heater by such people could re-
sult in serious injury.CAUTION
• Do not use the seat heater for ex-
tended periods or when no one is us-
ing the seat.
• Do not put anything on the seat which
insulates heat, such as a blanket,
cushion, seat cover, etc. Otherwise, the
seat may become overheated.
• Do not place anything hard or heavy on
the seat or pierce it with a pin or similar
object. This may result in damage to
the heater.
• Any liquid spilled on the heated seat
should be removed immediately with a
dry cloth.
• When cleaning the seat, never use
gasoline, thinner, or any similar mate-
rials.
• If any abnormalities are found or the
heated seat does not operate, turn the
switch off and have the system
checked by a NISSAN certified LEAF
dealer.

The automatic operation is available for the
switch that has an
mark on its surface.
To fully open or close the window, completely
push down or pull up the switch and release it;
the switch need not be held. The window will
automatically open or close all the way. To stop
the window, just push or lift the switch in the

leased.
Auto-reverse function
WARNING
There are some small distances immedi-
ately before the closed position which
cannot be detected. Make sure that all
passengers have their hands, etc., inside
the vehicle before closing the window.
If the control unit detects something caught in the
window as it is closing, the window will be imme-
diately lowered.
The auto reverse function can be activated when
the window is closed by automatic operation
when the power switch is in the ON position or
for 45 seconds after the power switch is placed
in the OFF position.
Depending on the environment or driving
conditions, the auto reverse function may
be activated if an impact or load similar to
something being caught in the window oc-
curs.
If the windows do not close
automatically
If the power window automatic function (closing
only) does not operate properly, perform the fol-lowing procedure to initialize the power window
system.
1. Place the power switch in the ON position.
2. Close the door.
3. Open the window completely by operating
the power window switch.
4. Pull the power window switch and hold it to
close the window, and then hold the switch
more than 3 seconds after the window is
closed completely.
5. Release the power window switch. Operate
the window by the automatic function to con-

DOOR position
When the switch is in the DOOR position2, the
ceiling light will illuminate under the following
conditions:
• the power switch is placed in the LOCK posi-
tion.
– remains on for about 15 seconds.
• doors are unlocked by pushing the UNLOCK
button or the request switch, with the
power switch in the LOCK position
– remains on for about 15 seconds.
• any door is opened and then closed with the
power switch in the LOCK position
– remains on for about 15 seconds.
• any door is opened with the power switch in the
ACC or ON position
– remains on while the door is opened. When
the door is closed, the light turns off.
The light will automatically turn off after 10
minutes when the light remains illuminated
to prevent the battery from becoming dis-
charged.
OFF position
When the switch is in the OFF position3, the
ceiling light will not illuminate, regardless of the
condition.The HomeLink® Universal Transceiver provides
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 (RF) de-
vices such as garage doors, gates, home and
office lighting, entry door locks and security
systems.
• Is powered by the vehicle’s 12-volt battery. No
separate batteries are required. If the vehicle’s
12-volt battery is discharged or is discon-
nected, HomeLink® will retain all programming.
Once the HomeLink® Universal Trans-
ceiver is programmed, retain the original
transmitter for future programming proce-
dures (for example, new vehicle pur-
chases) . Upon sale of the vehicle, the pro-
grammed HomeLink® Universal
Transceiver buttons should be erased for
security purposes. For additional informa-
tion, see “Programming HomeLink®” later
in this section.
WARNING
• 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 be-
came effective for opener models
manufactured after April 1, 1982.) A
garage door opener that cannot detect
an object in the path of a closing ga-
rage door and then automatically stop
and reverse, does not meet current
federal safety standards. Using a ga-
rage door opener without these fea-
tures increases the risk of serious in-
jury or death.
• During the programming procedure,
your garage door or security gate will
open or 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.
• Place the power switch in the ACC or
ON position while programming the
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver.

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-

with you when operating the vehicle.
• 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.
• When the vehicle is parked near a parking
meter.

Automatic anti-glare type (if so
equipped)
The inside mirror is designed so that it automati-
cally changes reflection based on the intensity of
the headlights of the vehicle behind.
The anti-glare system automatically turns on
