NOTE:
•If the outside temperature is −13°F
(−25°C) or less, the Li-ion battery may
freeze and it cannot be charged or pro-
vide power to run the vehicle. Move the
vehicle to a warm location.
• The capacity of the Li-ion battery in
your vehicle to hold a charge will, like all
such batteries, decrease with time and
usage. As the battery ages and capacity
decreases, this will result in a decrease
from the vehicle’s initial mileage range.
This is normal, expected, and not in-
dicative of any defect in your Li-ion bat-
tery.
• The Li-ion battery has limited service
life, and when its charging capacity falls
below a specific level, the EV system
warning light will illuminate. Owners
should bring their vehicle in for inspec-
tion and possible battery replacement.
• It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN certified LEAF dealer for infor-
mation about recycling or disposal of
the Li-ion battery. Do not attempt to re-
cycle or dispose of the Li-ion battery
yourself.
DRIVING WITH A DISCHARGED
LI-ION BATTERY
When a destination is set in the navigation
system (if so equipped) that exceeds the
available vehicle range, the navigation sys-
tem automatically searches the location of
nearby charging stations. When the nearby
charging station locations are displayed,
charge the Li-ion battery as soon as pos-
sible.
Warning lights illuminate on the instru-
ment panel and messages are displayed
on the vehicle information display to in-
form you that the Li-ion battery charge is
low. Instructions are also displayed on the
navigation system screen (if so equipped)
to direct you to nearby charging stations.
The vehicle's range is very limited when
these warning lights illuminate and mes-
sages are displayed. Follow the instruc-
tions on the navigation system screen (if so
equipped) and immediately charge the ve-
hicle at the nearest charging station.
There are three levels of information that
will be displayed as the Li-ion battery be-
comes discharged: 1. The following warning lights illuminate
on the instrument panel and messages
are displayed on the vehicle information
display at the same time to indicate low
Li-ion battery charge:
• The low battery charge indicator light
• The master warning light
EV OverviewEV-3
Page 25 of 610
• The “Battery charge is low, Charge now”warning message is displayed on the
vehicle information display.
• Messages are displayed on the naviga- tion system screen (if so equipped).
• For additional information, refer to “Low battery charge indicator” in the “Instru-
ments and controls” section of this
manual.
• The driving range flashes
1.
NOTE:
Due to traffic conditions, it may be dif-
ficult to get to the charging station
suggested by the navigation system
(if so equipped). If the Li-ion battery is
almost completely discharged, drive
directly to the nearest charging sta-
tion.2. If the vehicle is driven and the Li-ion bat-
tery continues to discharge, the driving
range on the instrument panel changes
to “— — —”2.
Messages are displayed on the naviga-
tion system screen (if so equipped). For
additional information, refer to “Li-ion
battery available charge gauge” in the
“Instruments and controls” section of
this manual.

NOTE:
•Charging may automatically stop even
if it is not completed.
• If charging stops mid-charge, you can
restart charging by pressing the start
button on the quick charger again.
• The charge connector is locked to the
charge port during charging and can-
not be disconnected. Follow the in-
structions on the quick charge equip-
ment to stop charging. Confirm

indicators on the instrument panel. The
charge connector can be disconnected
from the vehicle when charging is
stopped.
• When quick charging, the Li-ion battery
charging rate is slower as the percent-
age of available battery charge in-
creases. To finish charging:
1. Confirm charging is stopped by looking
at the indicators on the instrument
panel. The charge connector can be dis-
connected from the vehicle when charg-
ing is stopped.
2. Unlock the charge connector, remove from the vehicle and properly store it.
3. Close the quick charge port cap.
4. Shut the charge port lid.CAUTION
• As the quick charge connector is heavier in comparison to the other
charge connectors, allowing it to
drop could cause damage to the ve-
hicle or charge connector or per-
sonal injury. When removing the
connector, be sure to pull it out
straight and as carefully as possible.

• Once seat belt pretensioner(s) haveactivated, they cannot be reused
and must be replaced together with
the retractor. It is recommended
that you visit a NISSAN certified LEAF
dealer for this service.
• All seat belt assemblies, including retractors and attaching hardware,
should be inspected af ter any colli-
sion. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer
for this service. NISSAN recom-
mends that all seat belt assemblies
in use during a collision be replaced
unless the collision was minor and

seats are equipped with a seat belt warn-
ing light. The warning light, located on the
instrument panel, will show the status of
the driver and passenger seat belt.
NOTE:
The front passenger seat belt warn-
ing light will not light up if the seat is
not occupied.
For additional information, refer to “Warn-
ing lights, indicator lights and audible re-
minders” in the “Instruments and controls”
section of this manual.
PREGNANT WOMEN

women use seat belts. The seat belt should
be worn snug, and always position the lap
belt as low as possible around the hips, not
the waist. Place the shoulder belt over your
shoulder and across your chest. Never put
the lap/shoulder belt over your abdominal
area. Contact your doctor for specific rec-
ommendations.
INJURED PERSONS
NISSAN recommends that injured persons

PRECAUTIONS ON SRS
This SRS section contains important infor-
mation concerning the following systems.
• Driver and front passenger supplementalfront-impact air bag (NISSAN Advanced
Air Bag System)
• Front seat-mounted side-impact supple- mental air bag
• Roof-mounted curtain side-impact and rollover supplemental air bag
• Seat belt with pretensioner(s) (front seats)
Supplemental front-impact air bag sys-
tem
The NISSAN Advanced Air Bag System can
help cushion the impact force to the head
and chest of the driver and front passenger
in certain frontal collisions.
Front seat-mounted side-impact supple-
mental air bag system
This system can help cushion the impact
force to the chest and pelvic area of the
driver and front passenger in certain side
impact collisions. The side air bags are de-
signed to inflate on the side where the ve-
hicle is impacted. Roof-mounted curtain side-impact and
rollover supplemental air bag system
This system can help cushion the impact
force to the head of occupants in front and
rear outboard seating positions in certain
side impact collisions. In a side impact, the
curtain air bags are designed to inflate on
the side where the vehicle is impacted. In a
rollover, the curtain air bags are designed
to inflate and remain inflated for a short
time.
The SRS is designed to
supplementthe
crash protection provided by the driver and
passenger seat belts and is not a substi-
tute for them. Seat belts should always be
correctly worn, and the occupant should
be seated a suitable distance away from
the steering wheel, instrument panel and
door finishers. For additional information,
refer to “Seat belts” in this section.
The supplemental air bags operate only
when the power switch is in the ON posi-
tion. Af ter the power switch is placed in the
ON position, the supplemental air bag
warning light illuminates. The supple-
mental air bag warning light will turn off
af ter about 7 seconds if the system is
operational.

WARNING
To ensure proper operation of the front
passenger’s NISSAN Advanced Air Bag
System, please observe the following
items.
• Do not allow a passenger in the rear seat to push or pull on the seatback
pocket.
• Do not place heavy loads heavier than 9.1 lbs. (4 kg) on the seatback,
head restraint/headrest or in the
seatback pocket.
• Make sure that there is nothing pressing against the rear of the
seatback, such as a child restraint
installed in the rear seat or an object
stored on the floor.
• Make sure that there is no object placed under the front passenger
seat.
• Make sure that there is no object placed between the seat cushion
and center console or between the
seat cushion and the door. • If a forward-facing child restraint is
installed in the front passenger seat,
do not position the front passenger
seat so the child restraint contacts
the instrument panel. If the child re-
straint does contact the instrument
panel, the system may determine
the seat is occupied and the passen-
ger air bag may deploy in a collision.
Also the front passenger air bag sta-
tus light may not illuminate. For ad-
ditional information, refer to “Child
restraints” in this section.
• Confirm the operating condition with the front passenger air bag sta-
tus light.
• If you notice that the front passen- ger air bag status light is not operat-
ing as described in this section, get
the occupant classification system
checked. It is recommended that
you visit a NISSAN certified LEAF
dealer for this service.
• Until you have confirmed with a dealer that your passenger seat oc-
cupant classification system is
working properly, position the occu-
pants in the rear seating positions. • Do not position the front passenger
seat so it contacts the rear seat. If
the front seat does contact the rear
seat, the air bag system may deter-
mine a sensor malfunction has oc-
curred and the front passenger air
bag status light may illuminate and
the supplemental air bag warning
light may flash.
This vehicle is equipped with the NISSAN
Advanced Air Bag System for the driver and
front passenger seats. This system is de-
signed to meet certification requirements
under U.S. regulations. It is also permitted in
Canada. All of the information, cautions
and warnings in this manual apply and
must be followed.
The driver supplemental front-impact air
bag is located in the center of the steering
wheel. The front passenger supplemental
front-impact air bag is mounted in the in-
strument panel above the glove box. The
front air bags are designed to inflate in
higher severity frontal collisions, although
they may inflate if the forces in another
type of collision are similar to those of a
higher severity frontal impact. They may
