Jacking Up the Vehicle and Changing a Tire
LEAF is not equipped with a jack or spare tire as standard equipment. However, the following jacking
instructions apply when using the optional NISSAN jack. 1. Place the jack directly under the jack-up point asillustrated so the top of the jack contacts the vehicle
at the jack-up point. Align the jack head between the two
notches in the front or the rear as shown. Also fit the
groove of the jack head between the notches as shown.
The jack should be used on level firm ground.
2. Loosen each wheel nut one or two turns by turning it counterclockwise with the wheel nut wrench. Do not remove the wheel nuts until the tire is off the ground. AAYIA0124ZZ
