The system helps deter vehicle theft but cannot

prevent it, nor can it prevent the theft of interior or

exterior vehicle components in all situations. Al-

ways 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.

4. Confirm that the security indicator light illumi-

nates. The security indicator light stays on for

about 30 seconds. The vehicle security sys-

tem is now pre-armed. After about 30 sec-

onds the vehicle security system automati-

cally shifts into the armed phase. The security

light begins 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.

Many devices offering additional protection, such

as component locks, identification markers, and

tracking systems, are available at auto supply

stores and specialty shops. Your NISSAN certi-

fied 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.

Even when the driver and/or passengers

are in the vehicle, the system will activate

with all doors locked and the power switch

in the OFF position. When placing the

power switch to the ACC or ON position,

the system will be released.

allow the power switch to be placed in the

READY to drive position without the use of the

registered key.

This device complies with Part 15 of the

FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the fol-

lowing two conditions: (1) This device may

not cause harmful interference, and (2) this

device must accept any interference re-

ceived, including interference that may

cause undesired operation.

The alarm is activated by:

• Unlocking the door without using the Intelligent

Key, the request switch or the key. (Even if the

door is opened by releasing the door inside lock

knob, the alarm will activate.)

If the power switch fails to place the vehicle into

the READY to drive position using the registered

key, it may be due to interference 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:

• Opening the hood.
