lights NISSAN LEAF 2014 1.G Workshop Manual

– The Climate Ctrl. Timer and remote
climate control are not active or op-
erating. See “A/C-Heater Timer (Cli-
mate Ctrl. Timer)” and “Remote cli-
mate control” in the “Ventilators and
climate control systems” section.
– The 12-volt battery is not being
charged by the Li-ion battery and
that all charging status indicator
lights are off, see “Charging the 12-
volt battery” in the “EV overview”
section and “Charge status indica-
tor light” in the “Charging” section.
• The power switch is in the OFF posi-
tion. Place the power switch in the ON
position and then in the OFF position
to prevent the 12-volt battery auto-
matically being charged by the Li-ion
battery. See “Charging the 12-volt bat-
tery” in the “EV overview” section.
The “Maintenance and do-it-yourself” section
gives instructions regarding only those items that
are relatively easy for an owner to perform.
A genuine NISSAN Service Manual is also avail-
able. See “Owner’s manual/service manual order
information” in the “Technical and consumer in-
formation” section.You should be aware that incomplete or improper
servicing may result in operating difficulties and
could affect your warranty coverage.If in doubt
about any servicing, we recommend that it
be done by a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer.

Fog may temporarily form inside the lens of the
exterior lights in the rain or in a car wash. A
temperature difference between the inside and
the outside of the lens causes the fog. This is not

inside the lens, contact a NISSAN certified LEAF
dealer.

light reflector for a long period of time.
Dust, moisture, smoke, etc. entering
the headlight body may affect bulb
performance.

inside the halogen bulb. The bulb may
break if the glass envelope is
scratched or the bulb is dropped.
• Only touch the base when handling the
bulb. Never touch the glass envelope.
Touching the glass envelope could sig-
nificantly affect bulb life and/or head-
light performance.
• Aiming is not necessary after replacing
the bulb. When aiming adjustment is
necessary, contact a NISSAN certified
LEAF dealer.Use the same number and wattage as originally
installed as shown in the chart.
