Key System Error: See
Owner’s Manual
Af ter the power switch is pushed to the ON
position, this warning appears for a period
of time and then turns off.
The Key System Error message warns of a
malfunction with the Intelligent Key sys-
tem. If the warning appears while the mo-
tor is stopped, it may be impossible to start
the motor.
If the warning appears while the motor is
running, you can drive the vehicle. However,
have it repaired as soon as possible. It is
recommended that you visit a NISSAN cer-
tified LEAF dealer for this service.
No Key Detected
This warning appears in either of the fol-
lowing conditions:
No key inside the vehicle:
This warning appears when the door is
closed with the Intelligent Key lef t outside
the vehicle and the power switch in the
ACC or ON position. Make sure that the
Intelligent Key is inside the vehicle.Unregistered Intelligent Key:
This warning appears when the power
switch is placed in the ON, ACC or READY to
drive position and the Intelligent Key can-
not be recognized by the system. You can-
not place the power switch in the READY to
drive position with an unregistered key. Use
an Intelligent Key that has been registered.
For additional information, see “NISSAN In-
telligent Key® system” (P. 3-7).
Brightness indicator
This indicator shows the brightness ad-
justment of the instrument panel. For addi-
tional information, see “Instrument bright-
ness control” (P. 2-53).
Chassis Control System Error: See
Owner’s Manual
This warning appears if the chassis control
is not functioning properly. Have the sys-
tem checked. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer for this
service. For additional information, see

2-34Instruments and controls

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

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.”

REARVIEW MONITOR SYSTEM
LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for RearView Monitor. Failure to oper-
ate the vehicle in accordance with
these system limitations could result in
serious injury or death. •
The system cannot completely elimi-
nate blind spots and may not show
every object.
• Underneath the bumper and the cor-
ner areas of the bumper cannot be
viewed on the RearView Monitor be-
cause of its monitoring range limita-
tion. The system will not show small
objects below the bumper, and may
not show objects close to the bum-
per or on the ground.
• Objects viewed in the RearView
Monitor differ from actual distance
because a wide-angle lens is used.
• Objects in the RearView Monitor will
appear visually opposite compared
to when viewed in the rearview and
outside mirrors.
• Use the displayed lines as a refer-
ence. The lines are highly affected by
the number of occupants, fuel level,
vehicle position, road conditions and
road grade.
• Make sure that the rear hatch is se-
curely closed when backing up.
• Do not put anything on the rearview
camera. The rearview camera is in-
stalled above the license plate. •
When washing the vehicle with high
pressure water, be sure not to spray it
around the camera. Otherwise, water
may enter the camera unit causing
water condensation on the lens, a
malfunction, fire or an electric shock.
• Do not strike the camera. It is a preci-
sion instrument. Otherwise, it may
malfunction or cause damage result-
ing in a fire or an electric shock.
The following are operating limitations and
do not represent a system malfunction:
• When the temperature is extremely high or low, the screen may not clearly display
objects.
• When strong light directly shines on the camera, objects may not be displayed
clearly.
• Vertical lines may be seen in objects on the screen. This is due to strong reflected
light from the bumper.
• The screen may flicker under fluorescent light.
• The colors of objects on the RearView Monitor may differ somewhat from the
actual color of objects.
• Objects on the monitor may not be clear in a dark environment.
