3. Roadside Assistance Response Steps
• NEVER assume the LEAF is shut OFF simply because it is quiet.
• If the vehicle is damaged and you are not sure about the condition of the electric
vehicle system, contact first responders immediately. If the vehicle is damaged, the high
voltage system should be shut down by first responders while following the procedures in
the First Responders Guide and while wearing appropriate Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE) .
• If the READY indicator or charging indicator are ON, the high voltage system is
active.
• If possible, be sure to verify that the READY indicator on the instrument cluster
is
OFF and the high voltage system is stopped.
• Some of the under hood parts get hot and may cause serious burns. Use caution when working on or around these parts.
3-1 Indications the High Voltage System is ON 1. If the READY indicator is ON, the high voltage system is active.
2.
The high voltage system is active if any charge indicator
is ON (blue LEDs on top of the instrument panel) .
Before disconnecting the 12V battery terminal, if necessary, lower the windows, unlock the doors, and open
the rear hatch as required. Once 12V battery is disconnected, power controls will not operate.
3-2 Vehicle Immobilization and Stabilization
If possible, immobilize the vehicle by turning the 12V system OFF and stabilize it with a wheel chock(s) .
Stabilize the vehicle with wooden blocks or by removing air from the tires. • Do not stabilize the vehicle with wooden blocks under the Li-ion battery.
•
To avoid electrical shock, do not put wooden blocks or wheel chock(s) under the high
voltage components and harnesses as shown following. AAYIA0155ZZ

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

4-7.2 Repairing the Tire
1. Open the lid of the air compressor and take out the
speed restriction sticker. Put the sticker 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.
4. Remove the cap from the tire valve on the flat tire. AAYIA0131ZZ
