LocationDescription
Charge

port Under hood Connecting port for EVSE (Electric Vehicle
Supply Equipment) . Two ports are available:
Normal charge and quick charge (if so equipped) .
High voltage cables Under hood and
undercarriage Orange-colored power cables carry high voltage
current between each of the high voltage
components.
Traction Motor Under hood Converts three-phase AC power to drive power
(torque) which propels the vehicle.
Inverter Under hood Converts the DC power stored in the high voltage
battery to three-phase AC power and controls
motor torque (revolution) by regulating the motor
current.
Electric air
conditioner
compressor Under hood
Air conditioner compressor
Power Delivery
Module (PDM)
• On Board Charger
• DC/DC Converter
• High voltage junction box (J/B) Under hood
The PDM includes an On Board Charger, DC/DC
converter and high voltage junction box (J/B) .
The On Board Charger converts single-phase AC
power from a home power outlet to DC power
and increases the voltage in order to charge the
high voltage battery.
The DC/DC converter reduces the voltage of the
high voltage battery to provide power to the
12-volt battery in order to operate the vehicle’s
electric components (headlights, audio system,
etc.) .
The J/B provides electric power from the high
voltage battery to all high voltage parts of the
vehicle.
12-volt Battery Under hood A lead-acid battery that supplies power to the low
voltage devices.
Cabin heater Interior (This unit is
installed behind the
instrument panel) This is the electric heat source for the cabin
heater. It heats the interior of the vehicle.
High voltage battery Undercarriage Stores and outputs DC power (Maximum voltage
398.4V) needed to propel the vehicle.
High voltage battery
service disconnect Rear seat floor Isolates the battery from the rest of the high
voltage electrical system.
Brake power supply
backup unit Cargo area (This unit
is installed behind a
trim panel to prevent
access) Power supply backup unit for the brake system.
It supplies power to the brake system if a
malfunction occurs in the 12-volt battery.

4-1.1 Jump Starting Procedures
1. If the booster battery is in another vehicle (B) , position the two vehicles (A and B) to bring their
12-volt batteries into close proximity to each other.
DO NOT allow the two vehicles to touch.
2. Apply the parking brake.
3. Push the P (Park) position switch to place the vehicle in the P (Park) position.
4. Switch off all unnecessary electrical systems (headlights, heater, air conditioner, etc.) .
5. Place the power switch in the OFF position (if possible) .
If the 12-volt battery is discharged, the power switch cannot be moved from the OFF
position. Connect the jumper cables to the booster vehicle (B) before pushing the
power switch.
6. Remove the vent caps on the 12-volt battery (if so equipped) . Cover the battery with a firmly wrung out moist cloth to reduce the hazard of an explosion.
7. Connect jumper cables in the sequence as illustrated () . • Always connect positive (+) to positive (+) and negative (-) to body ground (for example,
as
illustrated) , not to the 12-volt battery
• Make sure the jumper cables do not touch moving parts in the motor compartment and that the cable clamps do not contact any other metal.
8. Start the engine of the booster vehicle (B) .
9. While the booster vehicle (B) engine is running, turn the power switch ON while pressing the brake pedal in order to place the LEAF in READY mode.
If the system does not start right away, push the power switch to the OFF position and wait
at

least 10 seconds before trying again.
10. After starting the EV system, carefully disconnect the negative cable and then the positive cable () . Keep the EV system on for over twenty (20) minutes to charge the 12-volt
battery. AAYIA0160ZZ

4-6.1 Before Using Emergency Tire Puncture Repair Kit
• If any foreign object (for example, a screw or nail) is embedded in the tire, do not remove it.
• Check the expiration date of the sealant (shown on the label attached to the bottle) . Never use a sealant if the expiration date has passed.
4-6.2 Repairing the Tire 1. Take out the speed restriction sticker from the aircompressor, then put it in a location where the driver can
see it while driving. Do not obstruct the view of gauges or
warning

lights with the sticker. Do not put the
sticker on the steering wheel pad.
2. Take the hose (1) and power plug (2) out of the aircompressor. Remove the cap of the bottle holder from
the air compressor.
3. Remove the cap from the tire sealant bottle and screw the bottle clockwise onto the bottle holder. Leave the
bottle seal intact. Screwing the bottle onto the bottle
holder will pierce the seal of the bottle. AAYIA0131ZZ
