Your vehicle can only be driven with the Intelligent Keys which are registered to your vehicle’s Intelligent Key system components and NISSAN Anti-Theft System (NATS*) components. As many as 4 Intelligent Keys can be registered and used with one vehicle. The new keys must be registered by a knowledgeable LEAF repairer such as a NISSAN certified electric vehicle dealer prior to use with the Intelligent Key system and NATS of your vehicle. Since the registration process requires erasing all memory in the Intelligent Key components when registering new keys, be sure to take all Intelligent Keys that you have to a knowledgeable LEAF repairer such as a NISSAN certified electric vehicle dealer. It is possible that the Intelligent Key functions became cancelled. Contact a knowledgeable LEAF repairer such as a NISSAN certified electric vehicle dealer.

Be sure to carry the Intelligent Key with you when driving. The Intelligent Key is a precision device with a built-in transmitter. To avoid damaging it, please note the following.
The Intelligent Key is water resistant; however, wetting may damage the Intelligent Key. If the Intelligent Key gets wet, immediately wipe until it is completely dry.
Do not bend, drop or strike it against another object.
Do not place the Intelligent Key for an extended period in a place where temperatures exceed 60°C (140°F).
Do not change or modify the Intelligent Key.
Do not use a magnetic key holder.
Do not place the Intelligent Key near an electric appliance such as a television set, personal computer or mobile phone.
Do not allow the Intelligent Key to come into contact with water or salt water, and do not wash it in a washing machine. This could affect the system function.
If an Intelligent Key is lost or stolen, NISSAN recommends erasing the ID code of that Intelligent Key. This will prevent the Intelligent Key from unauthorised use to unlock the vehicle. For information regarding the erasing procedure, please contact a knowledgeable LEAF repairer such as a NISSAN certified electric vehicle dealer.
