In such cases, correct the operating conditions
before using the Intelligent Key function or use
the mechanical key.

Although the life of the battery varies depending
on the operating conditions, the battery’s life is
approximately 2 years. If the battery is dis-
charged, replace it with a new one.

When the Intelligent Key battery is almost dis-
charged, firmly apply the foot brake and touch the
power switch with the Intelligent Key. Then push
the power switch while depressing the brake
pedal within 10 seconds after the chime sound.

Since the Intelligent Key is continuously receiving
radio waves, if the key is left near equipment that
transmits strong radio waves, such as signals
from a TV or personal computer, the battery life
may become shorter.

For information regarding replacement of a bat-
tery, see

ЉKey battery replacementЉ in the ЉMain-

tenance and do-it-yourself

Љ section.

Pay special attention that the vehicle battery is
not completely discharged.

As many as 4 Intelligent Keys can be registered
and used with one vehicle. For information about
the purchase and use of additional Intelligent
Keys, contact a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer.
