WARNING LIGHTS
12-volt battery charge
warning light
The DC/DC converter converts 400 volt Li-ion
battery voltage to charge the 12-volt battery.
This light illuminates continuously after the bulb is
checked when the power switch is in the ON
position, and turns off when the power switch is
placed in the READY to drive position.
When this warning light illuminates, a chime
sounds and the following warnings are also dis-
played.
• Master warning (red)
• EV system warning light
The following messages also flash on and off on
the vehicle information display.
If the vehicle is being driven; “Stop the vehicle”
and if the vehicle is stopped; “When parked apply parking brake”. When these messages flash, im-
mediately stop the vehicle in a safe location, pull
the parking brake switch and push the P (Park)
position switch on the shift lever to place the
vehicle in the P (Park) position. The warning on
the meter and the chime stops when the parking
brake is operated or the vehicle is in the P (Park)
position. Contact a NISSAN certified LEAF
dealer for support.
CAUTION
• The DC/DC converter system may not be functioning properly if the 12-volt

nates continuously when the power
switch is in the READY to drive posi-
tion. Immediately stop the vehicle in a
safe location and contact a NISSAN

HEADLIGHTS
Replacing
Halogen headlight (high-beam):
The headlight high-beam is a semi-sealed beam
type that uses a replaceable headlight (halogen)
bulb.
CAUTION
• Do not leave the bulb out of the head- light reflector for a long period of time.
Dust, moisture, smoke, etc. entering
the headlight body may affect bulb
performance.
• High-pressure halogen gas is sealed inside the halogen bulb. The bulb may
break if the glass envelope is
scratched or the bulb is dropped.
• Only touch the base when handling the bulb. Never touch the glass envelope.
Touching the glass envelope could sig-
nificantly affect bulb life and/or head-
light performance.
• Aiming is not necessary after replacing the bulb. When aiming adjustment is
necessary, contact a NISSAN certified
LEAF dealer. • Fog may temporarily form inside the
lens of the exterior lights in the rain or
in a car wash. A temperature differ-
ence between the inside and the out-
side of the lens causes the fog. This is
not a malfunction. If large drops of
water collect inside the lens, contact a
NISSAN certified LEAF dealer.
Use the same number and wattage as originally
installed as shown in the chart.
