Maintain Your InvestmentPreventative scheduled maintenance is an important investment to
optimize the performance, reliability, durability, safety and resale value of
your Nissan. Scheduling your electric vehicle’s maintenance at the
recommended intervals will ensure your electric vehicle functions at its
best.
We want you to enjoy your Nissan electric vehicle. This Service and
Maintenance Guide is designed to help you make sure your electric
vehicle receives proper and timely maintenance that is necessary. Key
services are explained in detail, along with an outline of scheduled
maintenance to help you maintain your electric vehicle. Your local
Nissan LEAF certified dealer can assist you in determining the best
schedule based on your driving habits and local conditions.
Failure to perform scheduled maintenance may result in excluding
portions of your electric vehicle from warranty coverage and may reduce
the performance, safety, reliability, durability and/or resale value of your
electric vehicle. See your Warranty Information Booklet and Owner’s
Manual for details.
NISSAN MAINTENANCE

As a condition of your electric vehicle’s warranty, you are responsible for properly maintaining your electric
vehicle. In maintaining your electric vehicle, you should follow either Schedule 1 or Schedule 2 as listed
below. Use these guidelines to determine which maintenance schedule to use.
SCHEDULE 1 (more severe operating conditions)
Use Schedule 1 if you primarily operate your electric vehicle under any
of these conditions:
●Repeated short trips of less than 5 miles in normal temperatures or
less than 10 miles in freezing temperatures
● Stop-and-go traffic in hot weather or low speed driving for long dis-
tances
● Driving in dusty conditions or on rough, muddy, or salt-spread roads
● Using a car-top carrier SCHEDULE 2 (less severe operating conditions)
Schedule 2 features 7,500-mile service intervals; with Schedule 2
fewer maintenance items are regularly checked or replaced than with
Schedule 1.
Generally, Schedule 2 applies only to highway driving in temperate
conditions. Use Schedule 2 only if you primarily operate your electric
vehicle under conditions other than those listed in Schedule 1.
* This warranty does not apply to vehicles or parts not distributed by Nissan North America and/or sold outside the United States.
DETERMINING THE PROPER MAINTENANCE INTERVAL
8

The following descriptions are pro-
vided to give you a better understand-
ing of the scheduled maintenance
items that should be regularly
checked or replaced. The mainte-
nance log indicates at which
mileage/time intervals each item re-
quires service.
In addition to scheduled mainte-
nance, your Nissan requires that
some items be checked during nor-
mal day-to-day operation. You can
find these items listed under “General
Maintenance” in Chapter 8 of your
Owner’s Manual.
Items marked with“*”are recom-
mended by Nissan for reliable electric
vehicle operation. You are not re-
quired to perform maintenance on
these items in order to maintain the
warranties which come with your
Nissan. Other maintenance items and
intervals are required.
When applicable, additional informa-
tion can be found in the “Maintenance and do-it-yourself” section in Chapter
8 of your Owner’s Manual.
NOTE: Nissan North America does
not advocate the use of non-OEM
approved aftermarket flushing sys-
tems and strongly advises against
performing these services on a
Nissan product. Many of the aftermar-
ket flushing systems use non-OEM
approved chemicals or solvents, the
use of which has not been validated
by Nissan North America.
For recommended lubricants, fluids,
grease, and refrigerant, refer to
Chapter 9 in your Owner’s Manual.

tery, have the EV Battery Usage Re-
port generated and reviewed with

booklet for details. Both the 12 month
and 24 month inspections will be per-
formed by your Nissan LEAF certified

fied below. When adding or replacing

your area.) The recommended ser-
vice interval of the factory-fill coolant
