Nissan LEAF 2023 Owners Manual
10.3.2.2. Wheel lock nuts (where fitted)
In order to prevent theft, the specially designed wheel lock nut is installed to each wheel. The wheel lock nut cannot be removed with the commonly used tools. When removing the wheel lock nuts, use the wheel lock key provided with your vehicle.
Removing the wheel lock nut
Insert the wheel lock key to the wheel lock nut.
To remove the wheel lock nut, turn the wheel lock key anticlockwise using the wheel nut wrench.
Do not use a power tool to remove the wheel lock nuts.
When installing the wheel, tighten the wheel lock nuts to the same tightening torque as the normal wheel nuts, as described earlier.
The wheel lock nut has an individual code. A wheel lock key with other than the individual code cannot remove the wheel lock nut. If you lose the wheel lock key, contact a knowledgeable LEAF repairer such as a NISSAN certified electric vehicle dealer for a duplicate with the original wheel lock key code.
Record the key number as shown on the key code card on the “Security information” page at the end of this manual and keep it in a safe place, not in the vehicle.
When you ask for a service at a knowledgeable LEAF repairer such as a NISSAN certified electric vehicle dealer, make sure to keep the lock key in the vehicle. Otherwise, wheels cannot be removed and the service cannot be performed.
