• 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.

be disconnected. Follow the instructions
on the quick charge equipment to stop
charging. Confirm charging is stopped by
looking at the indicators on the dash. The
charge connector can be disconnected
from the vehicle when charging is
stopped.
•When quick charging, the Li-ion battery
charging rate is slower as the percentage
available battery charge available in-
creases.To finish charging:

the Li-ion battery is not fully charged.
The temperature of the Li-ion battery is too hot
or too cold to charge.Confirm the Li-ion battery temperature by checking the Li-ion battery temperature gauge. If the
gauge indicates the Li-ion battery is too hot (red zone) or too cold (blue zone) , charging is not pos-
sible. Allow the Li-ion battery to cool or warm up before charging. See “Li-ion battery temperature
gauge” in the “Instruments and controls” section.
Quick charge cannot be
performed.Incorrect charge connector connection, not fully
inserted or may not be locked.Check that the charge connector is connected correctly and that it is locked.

NISSAN VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER
SYSTEM
The NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System will not
allow the power switch to be placed in the
READY to drive position without the use of the
registered key.
If the power switch fails to place the vehicle into
the READY to drive position using the registered
key, it may be due to interference caused by
another registered key, an automated toll road
device or automated payment device on the key
ring. Restart the EV system using the following
procedure:
1. Leave the power switch in the ON position for
approximately 5 seconds.
2. Place the power switch in the OFF position
and wait approximately 10 seconds.
3. Repeat step 1 and 2 again.
4. Place the power switch in the READY to drive
position while holding the device (which may
have caused the interference) separate from
the registered key.
If this procedure allows power switch in the
READY to drive mode, NISSAN recommends
placing the registered key on a separate key
ring to avoid interference from other devices.FCC Notice:
