After the power switch is placed in 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

Check Rear Seat For All Articles

When the system is enabled, this message
appears when the vehicle comes to a com-
plete stop, the vehicle is transitioned from
the D (Drive) position to P (Park) position,
and the driver exits the vehicle. This mes-
sage alerts the driver, after a period of time,
to check for items in the rear seat after the

tion display. For additional informa-
tion, see “How to use the vehicle in-
formation display” (P. 2-27).

For additional information, see “Rear Door

appears when the Rear Door Alert system
is active and can remind the driver to check
the back seat.
• Using the steering wheel switch, a driver

can select “Dismiss Message” to clear the
display for a period of time. If no selection
is made, this message automatically
turns off after a period of time.

• Using the steering wheel switch, a driver

can select “Disable Alert” to disable the

WARNING

The tire replacement indicator is not a
substitute for regular tire checks, includ-
ing tire pressure checks. For additional
information, see “Changing wheels and

tires” (P. 8-35). Many factors including
tire inflation, alignment, driving habits
and road conditions affect tire wear and
when tires should be replaced. Setting
the tire replacement indicator for a cer-
tain 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 pressure 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”
(P. 9-6).

WARNING INFORMATION DISPLAYS
(models with a navigation system)

Low battery warning

When the low battery charge indicator
and the master warning light (yellow)

illuminate, the system displays a mes-

sage on the navigation system screen that
warns the driver that the Li-ion battery
power level is low.

1. The notification is displayed on the up-

per left side of the STATUS screen. Touch
[Show] to display the screen showing
detailed information.

2. The system displays a message screen

and announces the contents of the
message to warn that the Li-ion battery
power level is low. Check the message
displayed on the screen.

Touch [YES] to search for charging sta-
tions within the estimated driving range.

3. Touch

or press the

MAP

button to

return to the vehicle location screen.

NOTE:
• The low battery warning can be set to

off. For additional information, refer to
the NissanConnect® Manual.

• When the battery power level is low, the

system automatically obtains charging
station information.

Your vehicle has two types of security sys-
tems, as follows:
• Vehicle security system
• NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System
The security status is shown by the secu-
rity indicator light.

VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM

The vehicle security system provides visual
and audio alarm signals if someone opens
the doors or rear hatch when the system is
armed. It is not, however, a motion detec-
tion type system that activates when a ve-
hicle is moved or when a vibration occurs.

SECURITY SYSTEMS

2-42

Instruments and controls

The system helps deter vehicle theft but
cannot prevent it, nor can it prevent the
theft of interior or exterior vehicle compo-
nents in all situations. Always secure your
vehicle even if parking for a brief period.
Never leave your keys in the vehicle, and
always lock it when it is left unattended. Be
aware of your surroundings, and park in
secure, well-lit areas whenever possible.

Many devices offering additional protec-
tion, such as component locks, identifica-
tion markers, and tracking systems, are
available at auto supply stores and spe-
cialty shops. A NISSAN certified LEAF dealer
may also offer such equipment. Check with
your insurance company to see if you may
be eligible for discounts for various theft
protection features.

How to arm the vehicle security
system

1. Close all windows.

The system can be armed even if the
windows are open.

2. Place the power switch in the LOCK or

OFF position and remove the Intelligent
Key from the vehicle.

3. Close all doors. Lock all doors. The doors

can 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.
After about 30 seconds the vehicle se-
curity system automatically shifts 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.

Vehicle security system activation

The vehicle security system will give the
following alarm:
• The headlights blink and the horn sounds

intermittently.

• The alarm automatically turns off after

approximately 50 seconds. However, the
alarm reactivates if the vehicle is tam-
pered with again.

The alarm is activated by:
• Unlocking the door without using the In-

telligent Key or the request switch. (Even if
the door is opened by releasing the door
inside lock knob, the alarm will activate.)

• Opening the hood.

How to stop an activated alarm

The alarm will stop when a door is un-
locked by pushing the UNLOCK

but-

ton on the Intelligent Key, door handle
request switch, or when the power switch
is pushed in the ACC or ON position.

If the system does not operate as de-
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 regis-
tered key on a separate key ring to avoid
interference from other devices.

Security Indicator Light

The security indicator light is located on
the meter 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
malfunctioning, this light will remain on while
the power switch is in the ON position.

High Beam Assist operations

To activate the High Beam Assist system,
turn the headlight switch to the AUTO po-
sition

and push the lever forward

(high beam position). The High Beam Assist
indicator light in the meter will illuminate
while the headlights are turned on.

If the High Beam Assist indicator light does
not illuminate in the above condition, it may
