I have a 2013 Leaf with two key fobs, one for me and one for my wife. My wife does not drive the Leaf that often, but she did tonight and when she arrived she found she could not lock the door with the lock button nor could she restart the car she was just driving. The battery in her fob is dead, and has been replaced, but meanwhile try as we may we could not get the Leaf to start with the dead fob.
We read the manual and followed the procedure. We tried pushing and releasing the park button, then pushing and holding the brake, then putting the fob with its back flat against the power button (as illustrated in the manual). We tried pushing and holding the park button while also pushing and holding the break and putting the fob against the power button. The car did not chime, and we could never get it into ready to drive mode. It is very disconcerting to think that we may get stuck somewhere and can't start the car. What are we doing wrong? Does this procedure actually work for anyone, or it is just an elaborate joke?
