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 KEY®

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 four Intelligent Keys can be regis-
tered and used with one vehicle. The new keys
must be registered by a NISSAN certified LEAF
dealer prior to use with the Intelligent Key system
and NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System of yourvehicle. Since the registration process requires
erasing all memory in the Intelligent Key compo-
nents when registering new keys, be sure to take
all Intelligent Keys that you have to the NISSAN
certified LEAF dealer.

telligent Key. If the Intelligent Key gets
wet, immediately wipe until it is com-
pletely dry.

CAUTION
• Be sure to carry the Intelligent Key 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 a 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. In such cases, correct the operating conditions
before using the Intelligent Key function or use
the mechanical key.
Although the life of the battery varies depending
on the operating conditions, the battery’s life is
approximately two years. If the battery is dis-
charged, replace it with a new one.
When the Intelligent Key battery is almost dis-
charged, firmly apply the foot brake and touch the
power switch with the Intelligent Key. Then push
the power switch while depressing the brake
pedal within 10 seconds after the chime sound.
Since the Intelligent Key is continuously receiving
radio waves, if the key is left near equipment that
transmits strong radio waves, such as signals
from a TV or personal computer, the battery life
may become shorter.
For additional information, refer to “NISSAN In-
telligent Key® battery replacement” in the “Main-
tenance and do-it-yourself” section of this
manual.
Pay special attention that the vehicle battery is
not completely discharged.
As many as four Intelligent Keys can be regis-
tered and used with one vehicle. For information
about the purchase and use of additional Intelli- gent Keys, contact a NISSAN certified LEAF
dealer.

• Do not strike the Intelligent Key sharply against another object.
• Do not change or modify the Intelligent Key.
• The Intelligent Key may be damaged if it gets wet. If the Intelligent Key gets
wet, immediately wipe until it is com-
pletely dry.
• If the outside temperature is below 14°F (−10°C) , the battery of the Intelli-
gent key may not function properly.
• 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 to a key holder that contains a magnet.

field, such as a TV, audio equipment,
personal computer or cellular phone.
