Nissan LEAF 2023 Owners Manual
8.10.2.2. Unlocking the unit
If the battery supply to the vehicle is interrupted, the audio unit will lock.
When the power is restored and the unit is switched on, the display will show the [Radio Code:] and it will be unlocked when the code has been entered correctly.
Unlocking procedure
Read this section very carefully. It is important that the instructions are followed precisely.
To unlock the audio unit, proceed as follows:
Turn the power switch to the ACC or ON position.
[Radio Code:] is displayed along with four numerical zero digits.
Press preset button (1) the number of times corresponding with the first digit of the radio code.
For example, if the radio code is 5169: for the first digit, 5, press the preset button (1) five times.
The second, third, and fourth digits of the radio code must be entered, in the same way, only now using preset buttons (2), (3), and (4).
For example, press (2) once, (3) six times, and (4) nine times.
Press with a long press preset button <(6)> to confirm the code. If you entered the code correctly the unit will switch on.
If the code is entered incorrectly a notification message [INCORRECT PIN] and the number of attempts left [REMAINING TRIES: XX] will be shown.
After reading the message, press the <ENTER> button to return to the entry screen and enter the correct radio code.
If the wrong code is entered after the third attempt, the audio unit will lock for 60 minutes. The display will show a count down timer from 60 to 0 (minutes). After 60 minutes enter the correct radio code.
If the wrong code is entered after eight sets of three entries, the audio unit will lock permanently. Contact a knowledgeable LEAF repairer such as a NISSAN certified electric vehicle dealer for further details.
