e—Pedal system failure! Press brake
pedal to slow or stop
This warning is displayed when the e-Pedal
system is malfunctioning. Have the system
checked. It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN certified LEAF dealer for this
service.
Indicators for maintenance
These indicators appear when the cus-
tomer set distance comes for replacing
tires or other maintenance items. You can
set or reset the distance for replacing tires
and other maintenance items.
WARNING
The tire replacement indicator is not a
substitute for regular tire checks, in-
cluding tire pressure checks. For addi-
tional information, see “Changing
wheels and tires” (P. 8-34). Many factors
including tire inflation, alignment, driv-
ing habits and road conditions affect
tire wear and when tires should be re-
placed. Setting the tire replacement in-
dicator for a certain driving distance
does not mean your tires will last that
long. Use the tire replacement indicator
as a guide only and always perform regular tire checks. Failure to perform
regular tire checks, including tire pres-
sure checks could result in tire failure.
Serious vehicle damage could occur
and may lead to a collision, which could
result in serious personal injury or
death.
For scheduled maintenance items and in-
tervals, see “Maintenance and schedules.”
Headlight System Error: See Owner’s
Manual
This warning appears when the LED head-
lights are not functioning properly.
If this warning appears, have your system
checked. It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN certified LEAF dealer for this
service.
Low battery charge
indicator
This light appears when the available Li-ion
battery charge is getting low. Charge as
soon as it is possible, preferably before the
Li-ion battery available charge gauge
reaches 0%.
NOTE:
The low battery charge indicator turns
off immediately before the Li-ion battery
is completely discharged and the vehicle
will stop. If the Li-ion battery becomes
completely discharged, the vehicle must
be charged in order to be driven.
Low outside air
temperature
The outside air temperature is displayed in
°F or °C in the range of −20°F to 140°F (−30°C
to 60°C).
The outside air temperature mode in-
cludes a low temperature warning feature.
If the outside air temperature is below 37°F
(3°C), the warning is displayed on the
screen.
The outside temperature sensor is located
in front side of the vehicle. The sensor may
be affected by road, wind directions and
other driving conditions. The display may
differ from the actual outside temperature
or the temperature displayed on various
signs or billboards.

3. Close all doors. Lock all doors. The doorscan be locked with:
• the LOCK
button on the Intelli-
gent Key
• any request switch
• the power door lock switch
4. Confirm that the security indicator light illuminates. The security indicator light
stays on for about 30 seconds. The ve-
hicle security system is now pre-armed.
Af ter about 30 seconds the vehicle se-
curity system automatically shif ts into
the armed phase. The security light be-
gins to flash once every approximately 3
seconds. If, during this 30-second pre-
arm time period, the door is unlocked, or
the power switch is placed in the ACC or
ON position, the system will not arm.
Even when the driver and/or passengers
are in the vehicle, the system will acti-
vate with all doors locked and the power
switch in the OFF position. When placing
the power switch to the ACC or ON posi-
tion, the system will be released.

The vehicle security system will give the
following alarm:
• The headlights blink and the horn sounds intermittently.
• The alarm automatically turns off af ter approximately 50 seconds. However, the
alarm reactivates if the vehicle is tam-
pered with again.

the door is opened by releasing the door
inside lock knob, the alarm will activate.)
• Opening the hood.
How to stop an activated alarm

scribed above, have it checked. It is rec-
ommended that you visit a NISSAN certi-
fied LEAF dealer for this service.
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 interfer-
ence 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 posi- tion for approximately 5 seconds.
2. Place the power switch in the OFF posi- tion 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 interfer-
ence) separate from the registered key.
If this procedure allows the power
switch to be placed in the READY to drive
mode, NISSAN recommends placing the
registered key on a separate key ring to
avoid interference from other devices.

WARNING
• Your vehicle's EV system should be
turned off while programming the
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver. For
additional information, see “Push-
button power switch” (P. 5-9).
• 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
became effective for opener models
manufactured af ter April 1, 1982). A
garage door opener which cannot
detect an object in the path of a clos-
ing garage door and then automati-
cally stop and reverse, does not meet
current federal safety standards. Us-
ing a garage door opener without
these features increases the risk of
serious injury or death.
• During the programming procedure
your garage door or security gate will
open and 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.PROGRAMMING HOMELINK®
If you have any questions or are having
difficulty programming your HomeLink®
buttons, refer to the HomeLink® web site at:
www.homelink.com or call 1-800-355-3515.
NOTE:
Place the power switch in the ON or ACC
position (without starting the EV system)
when programming HomeLink®. It is also
recommended that a new battery be
placed in the hand-held transmitter of
the device being programmed to
HomeLink® for quicker programming
and accurate transmission of the radio
frequency. 1. Position the end of your hand-held
transmitter 1–3 in (2–8 cm) away from
the HomeLink® surface, keeping the
HomeLink® indicator light
O1in view.

flash in approximately 10 seconds. Do
not hold for longer than 20 seconds.
2. Release both buttons.
HomeLink® is now in the programming
mode and can be programmed at any
time beginning with “Programming
HomeLink®” - Step 1.
REPROGRAMMING A SINGLE
HOMELINK® BUTTON
To reprogram a HomeLink® Universal
Transceiver button, complete the following:
1. Press and hold the desired HomeLink® button. DO NOT release the button.
2. The indicator light will begin to flash af- ter 20 seconds. Without releasing the
HomeLink® button, proceed with “Pro-
gramming HomeLink®” - Step 1.
For questions or comments, contact
HomeLink® at: www.homelink.com or
1–800–355–3515 (except Mexico).
The HomeLink® Universal Transceiver but-
ton has now been reprogrammed. The new
device can be activated by pressing the
HomeLink® button that was just pro-
grammed. This procedure will not affect any
other programmed HomeLink® buttons.
IF YOUR VEHICLE IS STOLEN
