4. Jump Starting
T
o start the EV system with a booster battery, the instructions and precautions below must be followed. If done incorrectly, jump starting can lead to a 12V battery explosion, resulting in severe
personal

injury or death. It could also damage your vehicle.
Discharged 12V battery may cause the following issues: • The instrument cluster cannot be displayed while the power switch is turned ON. The start-upsound is not audible. (The electric car system cannot start.)
• The Li-ion battery cannot be charged.
• The vehicle cannot be shifted out of PARK normally. • To avoid electrical shock, the high voltage Li-ion battery CANNOT be jump started.
•

Explosive hydrogen gas is always present in the vicinity of the 12V battery. Keep all
sparks and flames away from the 12V battery. Make sure the vent tube is correctly
installed.
• Do not allow battery fluid to come into contact with eyes, skin, clothing or painted surfaces. Battery fluid is a corrosive sulfuric acid solution that can cause severe burns.
If the fluid comes into contact with anything, immediately flush the contacted area
with water.
• The booster battery must be rated at 12 volts. Use of an improperly rated battery can damage the vehicle.
• Whenever working on or near a 12V battery, always wear suitable eye protectors (for example, goggles or industrial safety spectacles) and remove rings, metal bands, or
any other jewelry. Do not lean over the 12V battery when jump starting.
• Do not attempt to jump start a frozen battery. It could explode and cause serious injury.
• LEAF is equipped with an automatic cooling fan. It could come on at any time. Keep hands and other objects away from it.
• Always follow the jump starting instructions below. Failure to do so could result in damage to the charging system and cause personal injury. • Do not use LEAF to jump start another vehicle.
•

Do not attempt to perform a jump start on the 12V battery at the same time that the
Li-ion battery is being charged. Doing so may damage the vehicle or charging
equipment and could cause an injury.
