WARNING
• Radio waves could adversely affect
electric medical equipment. Those
who use a pacemaker should contact
the electric medical equipment
manufacturer for the possible influ-
ences before use.
• The Intelligent Key transmits radio
waves when the buttons are pressed.
The FAA advises the radio waves may
affect aircraf t navigation and com-
munication systems. Do not operate
the Intelligent Key while on an air-
plane. Make sure the buttons are not
operated unintentionally when the
unit is stored for a flight.
• Never leave the Intelligent Key in the
vehicle when you leave the vehicle.
The Intelligent Key system can operate all
the door locks using the remote control
function or pushing the request switch on
the vehicle without taking the key out from
a pocket or purse. The operating environ-
ment and/or conditions may affect the In-
telligent Key system operation.
Be sure to read the following before using
the Intelligent Key system.CAUTION
Be sure to carry the Intelligent Key with
you when operating the vehicle.
The Intelligent Key is capable of receiving
and transmitting radio waves. The Intelli-
gent Key system transmits weak radio
waves from various distances. Environ-
mental conditions may interfere with the
operation of the Intelligent Key system un-
der the following operating conditions:
• When operating near a location where strong radio waves are transmitted, such
as a TV tower, power station and broad-
casting station.
• When in possession of wireless equip- ment, such as a cellular telephone, trans-
ceiver or a CB radio.
• When the Intelligent Key is in contact with or covered by metallic materials.
• When any type of radio wave remote con- trol is used nearby.
• When the Intelligent Key is placed near an electric appliance such as a personal
computer.
• When the vehicle is parked near a parking meter. In such cases, correct the operating condi-
tions before using the Intelligent Key func-
tion or use the mechanical key.
Although the life of the battery varies de-
pending on the operating conditions, the
battery’s life is approximately two years. If
the battery is discharged, replace it with a
new one.
When the Intelligent Key battery is low, the
“Key Battery Low” indicator illuminates in
the vehicle information display. For addi-
tional information, see “Key Battery Low”
(P. 2-34).
Since the Intelligent Key is capable of re-
ceiving radio waves, if the key is lef t near
equipment which transmits strong radio
waves, such as signals from a TV and per-
sonal computer, the battery life may be-
come shorter.
For additional information, see “NISSAN In-
telligent Key® battery replacement” (P. 8-19).
Pay special attention that the vehicle bat-
tery is not completely discharged.
NISSAN INTELLIGENT KEY® SYSTEM
Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-7

As many as four Intelligent Keys can be
registered and used with one vehicle. For
information about the purchase and use of
additional Intelligent Keys, it is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN certified
LEAF dealer.
OPERATING RANGE
The Intelligent Key functions can only be
used when the Intelligent Key is within the
specified operating range from the request
switch
O1.
When the Intelligent Key battery is dis-
charged or strong radio waves are present
near the operating location, the Intelligent
Key system’s operating range becomes
narrower, and the Intelligent Key may not
function properly.
The operating range is within 31.5 in (80 cm)
from each request switch
O1. If the Intelligent Key is too close to the door
glass or handle or rear bumper, the request
switches may not function.
When the Intelligent Key is within the oper-
ating range, it is possible for anyone, even
someone who does not carry the Intelli-
gent Key, to push the request switch to
lock/unlock the doors including the rear
hatch.

time when a door is unlocked and the
room light switch is in the DOOR position.
The lights can be turned off without waiting
by performing one of the following
operations:

HOW TO USE THE REMOTE
KEYLESS ENTRY FUNCTION
The remote keyless entry function can op-
erate all door locks using the remote key-
less function of the Intelligent Key. The re-
mote keyless function can operate at a
distance of 33 f t (10 m) away from the ve-
hicle. The operating distance depends
upon the conditions around the vehicle. The remote keyless entry function will not
function under the following conditions:
• When the Intelligent Key is not within the
operational range.
• When the doors or the hatch are open or not closed securely.
• When the Intelligent Key battery is discharged.
WARNING
• Radio waves could adversely affect
electric medical equipment. Those
who use a pacemaker should contact
the electric medical equipment
manufacturer for the possible influ-
ences before use.
• The Intelligent Key transmits radio
waves when the buttons are pressed.
The FAA advises that the radio waves
may affect aircraf t navigation and
communications systems. Do not
operate the Intelligent Key while on
an airplane. Make sure the buttons
are not operated unintentionally
when the unit is stored during a
flight.

HOW TO PARK WITH PREDICTED
COURSE LINES
WARNING
• If the tires are replaced with different
sized tires, the predicted course lines
may be displayed incorrectly.
• On a snow-covered or slippery road,
there may be a difference between
the predicted course line and the ac-
tual course line.
• If the battery is disconnected or be-
comes discharged, the predicted
course lines may be displayed incor-
rectly. If this occurs, please perform
the following procedures:
- Turn the steering wheel from lock to
lock while the EV (electric vehicle)
system is running.
- Drive the vehicle on a straight road
for more than 5 minutes.

Temperature control
Press the temperature control buttons to
set the desired temperature.
Air recirculation
Press the
intake air control button to
change the air circulation mode. When the
indicator light illuminates, the flowing air is
recirculated inside the vehicle.
When the outside temperature exceeds
70°F (21°C) the air conditioning system may
default to air recirculation mode automati-
cally to reduce overall power consumption.
To exit air recirculation mode, deselect the
air recirculation button (indicator will turn
off ) to enter fresh mode.
Outside air circulation
Press the
intake air control button to
change the air circulation mode. When the
indicator light does not illuminate, the flow-
ing air is drawn from outside the vehicle.
Automatic air intake control
In the AUTO mode, the intake air will be
controlled automatically. When the outside
temperature exceeds 70°F (21°C), the air
conditioning system may default to air re-
circulation mode automatically to reduce
overall power consumption. To set the automatic control mode, press
and hold the
intake air control button.
The indicator light will blink twice and the
inside/outside circulation will then be con-
trolled automatically. When in automatic
mode, the indicator light will come on when
inside air recirculation is active.

equipped) defroster switch
For additional information, see “Rear win-
dow and outside mirror (if so equipped)

To turn the system off
To turn off the climate control, press the
Climate control system ON·OFF button.
The same operating mode (Heater or A/C)
that was active when the system is turned
off is active when system is turned back on.
CLIMATE CTRL. TIMER
This function pre-heats or pre-cools the
passenger compartment of the vehicle to
the temperature before driving. This helps
reduce power consumption from the Li-ion
battery.
The Climate Ctrl. Timer operates the air
conditioner using power from the charger
or the Li-ion battery. While the charging connector is connected to the vehicle,
electric power from the Li-ion battery is not
used.
The Climate Ctrl. Timer function allows two
timer settings.
Once the Climate Ctrl. Timer is set, it will
complete air conditioning by the time that
is set. It is not necessary to set the Climate
Ctrl. Timer every day.
WARNING
Even if the Climate Ctrl. Timer is set, the
temperature in the passenger com-
partment may become high or low if
the system automatically stops. Do not
leave children or adults who would nor-
mally require the support of others
alone in your vehicle. Pets should not
be lef t alone either. On hot, sunny days,
temperatures in a closed vehicle could
quickly become high enough to cause
severe or possibly fatal injuries to
people or animals. Also on cold days,
temperature in a vehicle could become
low enough to cause severe or possible
fatal injuries to people or animals.
