Nissan LEAF 2023 Owners Manual
6.5.8.3. NISSAN Anti-Theft System (NATS)
The NISSAN Anti-Theft System (NATS) will not allow the traction motor to start without the use of the registered NATS key.
If the power switch can not be placed to the READY to drive position using the registered NATS key, it may be due to interference caused by:
Another NATS key.
Automated toll road device.
Automated payment device.
Other devices that transmit similar signals.
Place the power switch in the READY to drive position using the following procedure:
Remove any items that may be causing the interference away from the NATS key.
Leave the power switch in the ON position for approximately 5 seconds.
Place the power switch in the OFF position, and wait approximately 10 seconds.
Repeat steps 2 and 3 again.
Place the power switch to the READY to drive position.
Repeat the steps above until all possible interferences are eliminated.
If this procedure allows the power switch to be placed in the READY to drive position, NISSAN recommends keeping the registered NATS key separate from other devices to avoid interference.
