Hello everyone,
I bought a used 2012 Leaf SL about a month ago. I'm in Fremont, CA and the car is a local car form Sunnyvale Nissan originally (lease return with 12,300 miles at purchase). I have some questions/concerns about the car:
1. Only one of the two intelligent keys works. Is there a way to activate the second one? I looked in the owner's manual, but couldn't find anything. We bought the car from a used car dealer, who bought it from a Nissan lease return auction. Would I have to take it to the regular Nissan dealer (free to fix)?
2. Can someone explain the difference between the two different battery warranties (the 5 year/60,000 mile warranty and the 8 year/100,000 mile ones)? From what I understood, the 5 year one is for the actually capacity loss (if the car's bars goes to the only 8/12 bars, then Nissan would replace/fix the battery). Is this correct? In that case, what is the 8 year warranty for then?
3. We plan on getting the windows tinted, especially the rear hatch and passenger windows, since the owner's manual says only the windshield and front windows have UV reducing solar glass. Does know the specific stats on the UV/heat reduction of the front windows? Or, should I plan on tinting everything?
Thanks for the help.
