• The Genuine NISSAN charging equipment
communicates with the vehicle before Li-ion
battery charging starts. If this communication
does not occur because other equipment is
used, the Li-ion battery will not charge.
• NISSAN recommends that you connect the
normal charge cable when getting out of the
vehicle, even if it is not going to be used. By
doing this, you can get the most out of the
remote climate control (models with navigation
system) and Climate Ctrl. Timer functions the
next time you use the vehicle.
To start normal charge:
1. Push the P (Park) position switch to place the
vehicle in the P (Park) position and apply the
parking brake.
2. When charging the Li-ion battery, place the
power switch in the OFF position. When the
power switch is in the ON position, the Li-ion
battery will not start charging.
3. Open the charge port lid and charge port cap.
See “Charge port lid” and “Charge port cap”
in the “Pre-driving checks and adjustments”
section.4. Connect the charge connector to the charge
port. If it is connected normally, a beep will
sound once.
5. If charging has started or if the battery is
waiting for charging timer, a beep will sound
twice and the charging status indicator light
display will change. See “Charging status in-
dicator light”.To stop normal charge:
1. Ensure that the charge connector lock is not
engaged. For more information, see “Charge
connector lock switch” in this section.
2. Press the button on the charge connector,
release the lock and remove the charge con-
nector from the charge port and properly
store it.
