SECURITY SYSTEMS
2-36Instruments and controls

• The alarm automatically turns off after approxi-
mately 50 seconds. However, the alarm reacti-
vates if the vehicle is tampered with again.
The alarm is activated by:
• 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
button on the Intel-
ligent Key, door handle request switch or using
the mechanical key, or when the power switch is
pushed in the ACC or ON position.
If the system does not operate as described
above, have it checked by a NISSAN certi-
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.FCC Notice:

Security indicator light
The security indicator light is located on the me-
ter panel. It indicates the status of the NISSAN
Vehicle Immobilizer System.
The light blinks after the power switch was in the
ACC or OFF position. This function indicates the
security systems equipped on the vehicle are
operational.
If the NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System is mal-
functioning, this light will remain on while the
power switch is in the ON position.If the light still remains on and/or the
power switch cannot be placed in the
READY to drive position, see a NISSAN
certified LEAF dealer for a NISSAN Vehicle
Immobilizer System service as soon as
possible. Please bring all registered keys
that you have when visiting a NISSAN cer-
tified LEAF dealer for service.
WARNING
In freezing temperatures the washer so-
lution may freeze on the windshield and
obscure your vision which may lead to an
accident. Warm the windshield with the
defroster before you wash the wind-
shield.
CAUTION
• Do not operate the washer continu-
ously for more than 30 seconds.
• Do not operate the washer if the reser-
voir tank is empty.
• Do not fill the window washer reservoir
tank with washer fluid concentrates at
full strength. Some methyl alcohol
based washer fluid concentrates may
permanently stain the grille if spilled
while filling the window washer reser-
voir tank.
• Pre-mix washer fluid concentrates
with water to the manufacturer’s rec-
ommended levels before pouring the
fluid into the window washer reservoir
tank. Do not use the window washer
reservoir tank to mix the washer fluid
concentrate and water.

A key number plate is supplied with your keys.
Record the key number and keep it in a safe place
(such as your wallet) , not in the vehicle. If you lose
your keys, see a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer
for duplicates by using the key number. NISSAN
does not record any key numbers so it is very
important to keep track of your key number plate.
A key number is only necessary when you have
lost all keys and do not have one to duplicate
from. If you still have a key, this key can be
duplicated by a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer.
NOTE:
Do not leave the keys inside the vehicle
when leaving the vehicle.NISSAN INTELLIGENT KEYS®
1. Intelligent Key (2)
2. Mechanical key (inside Intelligent Key) (2)
3. Key number plate (1)
Your vehicle can only be driven with the Intelligent
Keys which are registered to your vehicle’s Intel-
ligent Key system components and NISSAN Ve-
hicle Immobilizer System components. As many
as 4 Intelligent Keys can be registered and used
with one vehicle. The new keys must be regis-
tered by a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer prior to
use with the Intelligent Key system and NISSAN
Vehicle Immobilizer System of your vehicle. Since
the registration process requires erasing allmemory in the Intelligent Key components when
registering new keys, be sure to take all Intelligent
Keys that you have to the NISSAN certified LEAF
dealer. It is possible that the Intelligent key func-
tions became canceled, if so see a NISSAN
certified LEAF dealer.
CAUTION
Be sure to carry the Intelligent Key with
you when driving. The Intelligent Key is a
precision device with a built-in transmit-
ter. To avoid damaging it, please note the
following.
• The Intelligent Key is water resistant;
however, wetting may damage the In-
telligent Key. If the Intelligent Key gets
wet, immediately wipe until it is com-
pletely dry.
• Do not bend, drop or strike it against
another object.
• If the outside temperature is below
14°F (-10°C) degrees, the battery of the
intelligent key may not function prop-
erly.
• Do not place the Intelligent Key for an
extended period in a place where tem-
peratures exceed 140°F (60°C) .
• Do not change or modify the Intelligent
Key.
• Do not use a magnet key holder.
