4-3.3 Use of Vehicle Equipped Hooks for Recovery Operations
Front
:1. Using a suitable tool wrapped with a protective cloth, remove the recovery hook cover from the bumper.
2. Securely install the recovery hook as illustrated. The recovery hook is located in the tool kit in the left side of
the cargo area. Failure to securely install the recovery hook may result
in

serious personal injury or death and/or vehicle
damage.
3. Attach the winch cable securely to the recovery hook. Failure to securely attach the winch cable to the
recovery

hook may result in serious personal injury or
death and/or vehicle damage.
4. Make sure the winch cable remains fully connected tothe recovery hook and does not interfere with
surrounding area, take up the slack from the cable.
5. Release the parking brake.
6. Place the selector lever in the N (Neutral) position. AAYIA0098ZZ

NOTE:
If
the vehicle cannot be placed in Neutral, a P (Park) release procedure may be
required. Refer to 4–2 P (Park) Position Release Procedure (RAG–19).
7.

Carefully pull the vehicle onto the flatbed.
8. Be careful not to pull the vehicle too close to the winch. Doing so will cause excessive downward force being
applied to the recovery hook. Too much downward force
may result in vehicle damage. Lower the flatbed and
finish rolling the vehicle forward if necessary.
9. Secure the vehicle to the flatbed by using wheel baskets at all 4 wheel positions.
10. Make sure that the vehicle recovery hook is properly secured in its original position after use and the recovery
hook cover has been reinstalled properly. AAYIA0085ZZ

Rear Tie Down Hook:
• Do not use the rear tie down hook for towing or vehicle
recovery.
• The rear tie down hook is designed for use as illustrated.
4-4 Storing The Vehicle
If LEAF needs to be stored or left unattended, the high voltage system must be shut down and a sign put on
the vehicle indicating it is an electric vehicle with high voltage dangers. Refer to 5. Storing the
V

ehicle (RAG–33) .

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.
3. To lift the vehicle, securely hold the jack lever and rod with both hands as shown. Carefully raise the vehicle until the tire clears the ground. Remove the wheel nuts, and then remove the tire. AAYIA0124ZZ

4. Install new or repaired tire and hand-tighten the wheel
nuts with the wheel nut wrench in an alternating pattern.
5. Securely torque the wheel nuts in an alternating pattern to 83 ft-lbs (113 Nm) .
4-6 Tools Installed in the Vehicle
The tools are located in the left rear corner of the cargo area. The
jack is a NISSAN dealer option and not equipped as standard. AAYIA0136ZZ

5. Remove the protective cap (A) of the hose and screw
the hose securely onto the tire valve. Make sure that the
pressure release valve (B) is securely tightened. Make
sure that the air compressor switch is in the OFF (O)
position and then insert the power plug into the power
outlet in the vehicle.
6. Push the vehicle power switch to the ACC position.
7. Turn the air compressor switch to the ON (-) position and inflate the tire up to the pressure that is specified on
the tire and loading information label affixed to the
driver’s side center pillar if possible or to the minimum of
26 psi (180 kPa) . Turn the air compressor off briefly in
order to check the tire pressure with the pressure gauge.
If the tire is inflated to higher than the specified pressure,
lower the tire pressure by releasing air with the pressure
release valve.
NOTE:
The compressor tire gauge may show a pressure reading of 87 psi (600 kPa) for about
30 seconds while inflating the tire. The pressure gauge is indicating the pressure
inside the sealant bottle. When the sealant has been injected into the tire the
pressure gauge will drop and indicate actual tire pressure. • To avoid serious personal injury while using the emergency tire puncture repair kit:
–
Securely tighten the compressor hose to the tire valve. Failure to do so can cause the
sealant to spray into the air and get into your eyes or on your skin.
– Do not stand directly beside the damaged tire while it is being inflated because of the risk of rupture. If there are any cracks or bumps in the tire, turn the compressor OFF
immediately.
If the tire pressure does not increase to 26 psi (180 kPa) within ten (10) minutes, the tire may be
seriously damaged and the tire cannot be repaired with this tire repair kit.
Contact a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer. 8. When the tire pressure is at the specified amount, turn the air compressor OFF. If the tire cannotbe inflated to the specified amount, the air compressor can be turned OFF at the minimum of 26
psi (180 kPa) . Remove the power plug from the power outlet and quickly remove the hose from
the tire valve. Attach the protective cap and the valve cap. Securely stow the emergency tire
puncture repair kit in the cargo area. B

To avoid serious personal injury when stowing the emergency tire puncture repair kit keep
the
sealant bottle screwed into the compressor. Failure to do so can cause the sealant to
spray into the air and get into your eyes or on your skin.
9. Immediately drive the vehicle for ten (10) minutes or 2 miles (3 km) at a speed below 50 MPH(80 km/h) .
10. After driving, make sure the air compressor switch is in the OFF position. Then screw the hose securely onto the tire valve. Check the tire pressure with the pressure gauge. Temporary repair is
completed if the tire pressure does not drop. Make sure the pressure is adjusted to the pressure
specified on the tire and loading information label before driving.
11. If the tire pressure drops, repeat the steps from 5 to 10. If the pressure drops again or under 19 psi (130 kPa) , the tire cannot be repaired with this tire repair kit. Contact a NISSAN
certified LEAF dealer. The sealant bottle and hose cannot be reused to repair another punctured
tire. Contact a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer to purchase replacements.
4-7.3 After Repairing the Tire
See a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer for tire repair/replacement as soon as possible. • After using Emergency Tire Sealant to repair a minor puncture, do not drive the vehicle at
speeds
faster than 50 MPH (80 km/h) .
• Immediately after using Emergency Tire Sealant to repair a minor tire puncture, take the vehicle to a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer to inspect and repair or replace the tire. The
Emergency Tire Sealant cannot permanently seal a punctured tire. Continuing operation
of the vehicle without a permanent tire repair can lead to a crash.
• Do not inject any tire liquid or aerosol tire sealant into the tires as this may cause a malfunction of the tire pressure sensors.
• If you used the Emergency Tire Sealant to repair a minor tire puncture, a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer will also need to replace the TPMS sensor in addition to repairing or
replacing the tire.
• NISSAN recommends using only NISSAN Genuine Emergency Tire Sealant provided with the vehicle. Other tire sealants may damage the valve stem seal which can cause the tire
to lose air pressure.

5-2.3 Insulated Tools
When
performing work at locations where high voltage is applied (such as terminals) , use insulated tools
meeting 1,000V/300A specifications.
5-3 Removing the Service Plug • Do not remove the service plug without always wearing appropriate Personal
Protective
Equipment (PPE) to help protect the responder from serious injury or death
by electrical shock.
• Immediately cover the service plug socket with insulated tape. The Li-ion battery
retains
high voltage power even when the service plug is removed. To avoid electric
shock, NEVER touch the terminals inside the socket. To avoid unintended reinstallation and risk of electrical shock and severe personal injury
or

death, the service plug should be securely stored away from the vehicle while the vehicle
is in storage.
1. Check the READY indicator status. If it is ON, the high voltage system is active.
2.

Place the selector lever in the Park (P) position.
3. Press the power switch once to turn OFF the high voltage system. Then verify whether the READY indicator is OFF.
4.
Insert a suitable tool (1) under the RH rear corner of the
access trim cover located on the floor behind the center
console. Pry up (2) and remove.
