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 discharged, replace it with a new one. When the Intelligent Key battery is almost discharged, 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 battery, see ЉKey battery replacementЉ in the ЉMaintenance and do-it-yourselfЉ 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.

This could affect the functioning of the system. • Do not drop the Intelligent Key. • Do not strike the Intelligent Key sharply against another object. • Do not change or modify the Intelligent Key. • The Intelligent Key may be damaged if it gets wet.
