Charging timer
Use the charging timer to schedule when the
Li-ion battery will be charged. The vehicle auto-
matically starts charging at the scheduled time
when the charge connector is connected to the
vehicle. The timers do not need to be reset each
time the Li-ion battery needs to be charged. Two
timer settings can be saved.
With navigation system
The charging timer can save two timer settings
that include the charging start time and end time.
The charging timer can be applied to one of the

NOTE:
•Always place the power switch in the OFF
position after setting the charging timers.
When the power switch in the ON position,
the Li-ion battery will not start charging.
• The Li-ion battery may not be charged to
the expected level if the charging timer
start time and end time are set so there is
not enough time to charge the Li-ion bat-
tery.
• When either the charge start time or
charge end time is set, the charging timer
function is activated.
• When only the charging timer end time is
set, the system automatically determines
when to begin charging. The Li-ion battery
may not be charged to the expected level
in the following conditions: – The Li-ion battery is charged in could weather.
– The Charge connector is connected to the vehicle too close to the scheduled
charging end time.
CHARGING METHODS
ChargingCH-21

SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
Normal charge stops in the
middle of charging. There is no power coming from the outlet. There may have been a electrical power failure, or the breaker may have failed. Charging will resume
when the power source is reset.
The charge cable has been disconnected. Check that the charge cable has not been disconnected.
Both the normal charge connector and the quick
charge connector were connected at the same
time. If the normal charge connector and the quick charge connector are connected at the same time,
charging will be stopped.
Charging timer end time has been reached. When charging timer is set and the charge end time is reached, charging will be stopped, even if the Li-ion battery is not fully charged.
The temperature of the Li-ion battery is too hot
or too cold to charge. Confirm the Li-ion battery temperature by checking the Li-ion battery temperature gauge. If the
gauge indicates the Li-ion battery is too hot (red zone) or too cold (blue zone) , charging is not pos-
sible. Allow the Li-ion battery to cool or warm up before charging. For additional information, refer to
“Li-ion battery temperature gauge” in the “Instruments and controls” section of this manual.
Quick charge cannot be per- formed. Incorrect charge connector connection, not fully
inserted or may not be locked.
Check that the charge connector is connected correctly and that it is locked.
The self-diagnostic function of the quick charge
device returns a negative result. There is a possibility that the vehicle has a malfunction. Stop charging and contact a NISSAN certified
LEAF dealer.
Charging does not start because the charge
amount has been set to 80% and the Li-ion battery
is already charged to more than 80%. When the long life mode (80% charge) is set, the Li-ion battery cannot be charged more than 80%.
Confirm the charge percentage and if you need to charge the Li-ion battery more, change to the desired
charge setting.
The power switch of the quick charger is off. Check the power switch of the quick charger.
Quick charge stops in the middle of charging. Charging is stopped by the quick charge timer. Charging will stop depending on the timer function setting of the quick charge device. If you need to
charge the Li-ion battery more, start the charging procedure again.
The maximum time for quick charge is 30–60 minutes. If you need to charge the Li-ion battery for longer
than this, start the charging procedure again.
The power supply for the quick charger is off. Check whether the power supply for the quick charger is off.

INDICATORS FOR MAINTENANCE
1. Tire replacement indicator
This indicator appears when the customer set
distance comes for replacing tires. You can set or
reset the distance for replacing tires. For addi-tional information, refer to “Trip computer” in this
section.
WARNING
The tire replacement indicator is not a
substitute for regular tire checks, includ-
ing tire pressure checks. For additional
information, refer to “Changing wheels
and tires” in the “Maintenance and do-it-
yourself” section of this manual. Many
factors including tire inflation, alignment,
driving habits and road conditions affect
tire wear and when tires should be re-
placed. Setting the tire replacement indi-
cator for a certain driving distance does
not mean your tires will last that long.
Use the tire replacement indicator as a
guide only and always perform regular
tire checks. Failure to perform regular
tire checks, including tire pressure
checks could result in tire failure. Serious
vehicle damage could occur and may lead
to a collision, which could result in seri-
ous personal injury or death.
2. 3. 4. “Other” indicators
These indicators appears when the customer set
distance comes for checking or replacing main-
tenance items other than the tires. Other mainte-
nance items can include such things as the tire
rotation. You can set or reset the distance for
checking or replacing the items. For additional
information, refer to “Trip computer” in this sec-
tion. For scheduled maintenance items and inter-
vals, see a NISSAN Service and Maintenance
Guide.
