AT HOME AFTER DRIVING
Charging the Li-ion battery
When you return home, connect the vehicle to
the charging station installed at your home using
the normal charge connector.
Charge the vehicle or set the charging timer
function to have the vehicle charge at a specific
time. See “Charging timer” in the “Charge” sec-
tion.
1. When the power switch is turned off, the
settings of the charging timer, and the Climate
Ctrl. Timer and the charge connector lockfunctions are displayed on the vehicle infor-
mation display. See “Vehicle information dis-
play” in the “Instruments and controls”
section.
2. Open the charge port lid and charge port cap.
See “Charge port lid” in the “Pre-driving
checks and adjustments” section.
3. Connect the charge connector to the vehicle.
4. When a charging timer is turned on, charging
starts at the set time. When a charging timer
is not turned on, charging starts immediately.
NOTE:
•Charging can be started remotely, even if
charging timer is set up.
•When you have forgotten to connect the
charge connector at home, there is a func-
tion that can notify you via text message
capable cellular phone, internet enabled
smart phone or personal computer. See
“Charging related remote function” in the
“Charge” section (models with navigation
system) .
•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.

WARNING
• If you use any medical electric devices,
such as an implantable cardiac pace-
maker or an implantable cardiovascu-
lar defibrillator, check with the electric
medical device manufacturer concern-
ing the effects that charging may have
on implanted devices before starting
the charge operation. Charging may
affect the operation.
• If you have an implantable cardiac
pacemaker or an implantable cardio-
vascular defibrillator, while the Li-ion
battery is charging:
– Do not stay inside the vehicle.
– Do not go inside the vehicle, for ex-
ample to remove or place an item in
the passenger compartment.
– Do not open the rear hatch, for ex-
ample to remove or place an item in
the cargo area.
Charging may affect the operation of
electric medical device and result in
serious personal injury or death.• Make sure there is no water or foreign
materials in the charge port, charge
connector or electrical plug, and that
they are not damaged or affected by
rust or corrosion. If any of these condi-
tions are noticeable, do not charge the
Li-ion battery. This may result in a
short circuit or electric shock and
could cause a fire which may result in
serious personal injury or death.
• To avoid serious personal injury or
death when the Li-ion battery is charg-
ing, be aware of the following precau-
tions.
– Do not touch the metal contacts of
the charge port, charge connector or
electrical plug.
– Do not touch the vehicle and charger
when there is lightning. A lightning
strike may back feed into the char-
ger causing damage and possible
personal injury or death.
• Make sure the charge connector is re-
moved from the charge port before
starting your vehicle. If the charge con-
nector is only partially engaged and
the connector latch is unlocked, it is
possible to place the EV (Electric Ve-
hicle) in the READY to drive position.• Do not plug in or unplug the plug with
wet hands and do not stand in water,
liquid or snow. This may cause an elec-
tric shock which may result in serious
personal injury or death.
• Do not disassemble or modify the
charge port or the EVSE (Electric Ve-
hicle Supply Equipment) . This may
cause a fire.
• If you notice an unusual odor or smoke
coming from the vehicle, stop charging
immediately.
• Be careful not to allow your hands,
hair, jewelry or clothing to come into
contact with, or get caught in, the trac-
tion motor cooling fan. The cooling fan
can start at any time during charging.
PRECAUTIONS ON CHARGING
CH-2Charging

NOTE:
•When charging the Li-ion battery, place
the power switch in the OFF position.
When the power switch is in the ON posi-
tion, the Li-ion battery will not start charg-
ing.
•If the charger is connected to the vehicle
when it is in the READY to drive position,
the power switch automatically changes
to the ON position. Place the power switch
in the OFF position to begin charging.
•For your safety, if the charger is connected
to the vehicle while the power switch is in
the READY to drive position, the vehicle
will automatically switch to the ON posi-
tion. Because charging will not be started
while the power switch is in this position,
be sure to place the power switch in the
OFF position.
•When the ambient temperature is 32°F
(0 °C) or less, charging time may be longer
than normal and the level to which the
Li-ion battery can be charged may be less
than at higher temperatures.•If the vehicle will not be used for an ex-
tended period of time, charge the Li-ion
battery once every 3 months. Do not oper-
ate the charging timer repeatedly while
the charge connector is connected to the
vehicle after the Li-ion battery charging is
completed. Doing so may discharge the
12-volt battery.
•The power switch can be set to ON posi-
tion and the climate control and naviga-
tion system (models with navigation sys-
tem) can be used while the Li-ion battery
is charging. However, because these op-
erations consume Li-ion battery power, it
will take longer for the Li-ion battery to
become fully charged. Place the power
switch in the OFF position to help reduce
Li-ion battery charge time.
•If electrical power is interrupted while
charging, charging restarts automatically
when the electrical power is restored.
•It is recommended to keep the charge
cable connected to save Li-ion battery
power, when the heater and air condi-
tioner are operating with remote opera-
tion (models with navigation system) .•If the charge port is frozen, melt the ice
using a hair dryer. After the ice has
melted, charge the Li-ion battery. Forcing
the charge connector to connect may
cause a malfunction.
•If foreign materials have entered the
charge connector and charge port and it is
not possible to connect it, do not attempt
to force the connection. Contact a NISSAN
certified LEAF dealer. Forcing the charge
connector to connect may cause damage
to the charging equipment and vehicle.
•There is a hole on the charge port for
water drainage. If the water drainage hole
becomes blocked, or if water gets trapped
inside the charge port, do not charge.
Contact a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer.
CH-4Charging

• 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.
3. After closing the charge port cap on the
charge port, close the charge port lid.
