– The device has parts that may sparkinside. Do not use it where gasoline,
paint, or flammable liquids are used
or stored.
– Do not use if a malfunction occurs or if the charger has been damaged in
any manner. Return to a NISSAN
certified LEAF dealer for replace-
ment.
– The charger contains no user ser- viceable parts. Do not attempt to
repair the charger, doing so will void
your warranty.• Pass the lower side belt of the EVSE(Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment)
case securely through the fastener on
the bottom of the luggage board. If the
case suddenly becomes loose, it may
cause serious injury or death.
CAUTION
• Only charge using a standard 110 - 120 volt, 15A dedicated electrical outlet
(For example do not use an electric
generator) . Failure to do so may cause
charging to fail and could cause dam-
age to the Li-ion battery charging
equipment due to power surges.
• NISSAN recommends using Genuine NISSAN charging equipment to charge
the vehicle. Using non-NISSAN equip-
ment could cause the Li-ion battery to
not charge correctly and may damage
the Li-ion battery. • Trickle charging is performed using an AC 110 -
120 volt, 15A dedicated electrical outlet using
the EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment)
provided with the vehicle.
• The Genuine NISSAN EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) charging equipment or
trickle charge cable performs a communication
function with the vehicle before Li-ion charging
starts. If this communication does not occur
because other equipment is used, the Li-ion
battery will not charge.
• Immediate charge, charging timer and remote charge (models with navigation system) can be
performed in the trickle charge mode. For addi-
tional information, refer to “Charging methods”
in this section.

5. Store in its case.
NOTE:
Perform the following procedure to
store the EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply
Equipment) in the case.a. Wind the charge cable into a size that will allow it to be stored in the case
(approximately 9.8 in (250 mm) in
diameter) .
b. Place the EVSE (Electric Vehicle Sup- ply Equipment) control box into the
back of the case. c. Place the charge cable and charge
connector into the case in front of the
EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equip-
ment) control box.
WARNING
Pass the lower side belt of the EVSE
(Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) case
securely through the fastener on the bot-
tom of the luggage board. If the case
suddenly becomes loose, it may cause
serious injury or death.
6. After closing the cap on the charge port, close the charge port lid.
NOTE:
To stop charging mid-charge, remove the
charge connector. Charging automatically
stops.
HOW TO QUICK CHARGE (IF SO
EQUIPPED)
Quick charge uses public charging stations (up
to 50 kW of power) to charge the battery in a
short period of time.
WARNING
• Always use a quick charger that is compatible with the LEAF. Using an
incompatible quick charger may cause
a fire or malfunction resulting in seri-
ous personal injury or death.
• Before starting the quick charge, care- fully read the instructions provided on
the quick charger and make sure the
quick charge connector is properly
connected and locked. Failure to con-
nector or operate the quick charger
correctly could cause damage to the
vehicle or the charging equipment.

WARNING
• Do not ride in a moving vehicle when the seatback is reclined. This can be
dangerous. The shoulder belt will not
be against your body. In an accident,
you could be thrown into it and receive
neck or other serious injuries. You
could also slide under the lap belt and
receive serious internal injuries. •
For the most effective protection when
the vehicle is in motion, the seat should
be upright. Always sit well back and
upright in the seat with both feet on the
floor and adjust the seat properly. For
additional information, refer to “Precau-
tions on seat belt usage” in this section.
• After adjustment, gently rock in the
seat to make sure it is securely locked.
• Do not leave children unattended in- side the vehicle. They could unknow-
ingly activate switches or controls. Un-
attended children could become
involved in serious accidents. •
To help avoid risk of injury or death
through unintended operation of the ve-
hicle and/or its systems, do not leave
children, people who require the assis-
tance of others or pets unattended in
your vehicle. Additionally, the tempera-
ture inside a closed vehicle on a warm
day can quickly become high enough to
cause a significant risk of injury or death
to people and pets.
• Do not adjust the driver’s seat while
driving so full attention may be given
to vehicle operation. The seat may
move suddenly and could cause loss of
control of the vehicle.
• The seatback should not be reclined any more than needed for comfort.
Seat belts are most effective when the
passenger sits well back and straight
up in the seat. If the seatback is re-
clined, the risk of sliding under the lap
belt and being injured is increased.
CAUTION
When adjusting the seat positions, be
sure not to contact any moving parts to
avoid possible injuries and/or damage.

REAR SEATS
Folding
Before folding the rear seats:
• Secure the seat belts on the seat belt hookslocated on the side wall. For additional informa-
tion, refer to “Seat belt hooks” in this section.
To fold down the seatback, pull the release knob.
To return the seatback to the seating position, lift
up each seatback and push it to the upright
position until it is latched.
WARNING
• Do not fold down the rear seats when occupants are in the rear seat area or
any objects are on the rear seats.
• Never allow anyone to ride in the cargo area or on the rear seats when they are
in the folded-down position. Use of
these areas by passengers without
proper restraints could result in seri-
ous injury or death in an accident or
sudden stop. • Properly secure all cargo with ropes or
straps to help prevent it from sliding or
shifting. Do not place cargo higher
than the seatbacks. In a sudden stop or
collision, unsecured cargo could cause
personal injury.
• When returning the seatbacks to the upright position, be certain they are
completely secured in the latched po-
sition. If they are not completely se-
cured, passengers may be injured in an
accident or sudden stop.

WARNING
Head restraints/headrests supplement
the other vehicle safety systems. They
may provide additional protection
against injury in certain rear end colli-
sions. Adjustable head restraints/
headrests must be adjusted properly, as
specified in this section. Check the ad-
justment after someone else uses the
seat. Do not attach anything to the head
restraint/headrest stalks or remove the
head restraints/headrests. Do not use
the seat if the head restraint/headrest
has been removed. If the head restraint/
headrest was removed, reinstall and
properly adjust the head restraint/
headrest before an occupant uses the
seating position. Failure to follow these
instructions can reduce the effectiveness
of the head restraint/headrest. This may
increase the risk of serious injury or
death in a collision. The illustration shows the seating positions
equipped with a head restraint/headrest.
Indicates the seating position is equipped
with a head restraint.
+ Indicates the seating position is not equipped
with a head restraint or headrest (if applicable) .
• Your vehicle is equipped with a head restraint/ headrest that may be integrated, adjustable or
non-adjustable.
• Adjustable head restraints/headrests have mul- tiple notches along the stalks to lock them in a
desired adjustment position. • The non-adjustable head restraints/headrests
have a single locking notch to secure them to
the seat frame.
• Proper Adjustment: – For the adjustable type, align the headrestraint/headrest so the center of your ear
is approximately level with the center of the
head restraint/headrest.
– If your ear position is still higher than the recommended alignment, place the head
restraint/headrest at the highest position.
• If the head restraint/headrest has been re- moved, ensure that it is reinstalled and locked in
place before riding in that designated seating
position.

The ALR mode should be used only for
child restraint installation. During normal
seat belt use by an occupant, the ALR mode
should not be activated. If it is activated, it
may cause uncomfortable seat belt ten-
sion. It can also change the operation of
the front passenger air bag. For additional
information, refer to “Front passenger air
bag and status light” in this section.
WARNING
When fastening the seat belts, be certain
that seatbacks are completely secured in
the latched position. If they are not com-
pletely secured, passengers may be in-
jured in an accident or sudden stop.
Unfastening the seat belts
To unfasten the seat belt, push the button on the
buckle. The seat belt automatically retracts.
Checking seat belt operation
Seat belt retractors are designed to lock seat belt
movement by two separate methods:
• When the belt is pulled quickly from the retractor
• When the vehicle slows down rapidly
To increase your confidence in the seat belts,
check the operation as follows:
• Grasp the shoulder belt and pull forward quickly. The retractor should lock and restrict
further belt movement.
If the retractor does not lock during this check or
if you have any questions about seat belt opera-
tion, see a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer.

shoulder belt anchor up and down to
make sure that it is securely fixed in
position.
• The shoulder belt anchor height should be adjusted to the position that
is best for you. Failure to do so may
reduce the effectiveness of the entire
restraint system and increase the
chance or severity of injury in an acci-
dent.
