NOTE:
Components with white number in black background are high-voltage components.No. Component
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. Ensure vent caps are level and tight.
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. AAYIA0160ZZ

• To avoid the Emergency Tire Puncture Repair Kit from being damaged during storage or
use:
–
Only use the Emergency Tire Puncture Repair Kit on the LEAF vehicle. Do not use it
on other vehicles.
– Only use the kit to inflate the tires of the LEAF and to check the vehicle’s tire pressure.
– Only plug the compressor into a 12V DC car power point.
– Keep the kit free of dirt and water.
– Do not disassemble or modify the kit.
– Do not drop the kit or allow hard impacts to the kit.
• Do not use the Emergency Tire Puncture Repair Kit under the following conditions. It is recommended you contact a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer or professional road
assistance:
– when the sealant has passed its expiration date (shown on the label attached to the bottle) .
– when the cut or the puncture in the tire is approximately 0.25 in (6 mm) or longer.
– when the tire sidewall is damaged.
– when the vehicle has been driven with extremely low tire pressure.
– when the tire has come off the inside or the outside of the wheel.
– when the wheel is damaged.
– when two (2) or more tires are flat.
