3. Roadside Assistance Response Steps
• NEVER assume the LEAF is shut OFF simply because it is quiet.
• If the vehicle is damaged and you are not sure about the condition of the electric
vehicle system, contact first responders immediately. If the vehicle is damaged, the high
voltage system should be shut down by first responders while following the procedures in
the First Responders Guide and while wearing appropriate Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE) .
• If the READY indicator or charging indicator are ON, the high voltage system is
active.
• If possible, be sure to verify that the READY indicator on the instrument cluster
is
OFF and the high voltage system is stopped.
• Some of the under hood parts get hot and may cause serious burns. Use caution when working on or around these parts.
3-1 Indications the High Voltage System is ON 1. If the READY indicator is ON, the high voltage system is active.
2.
The high voltage system is active if any charge indicator
is ON (blue LEDs on top of the instrument panel) .
Before disconnecting the 12-volt battery terminal, if necessary, lower the windows, unlock the doors, and
open the rear hatch as required. Once 12-volt battery is disconnected, power controls will not operate. AAYIA0155ZZ

Jump Starting
To 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 12-volt battery explosion, resulting in severe
personal
injury or death. It could also damage your vehicle.
Discharged 12-volt 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 high voltage battery cannot be charged.
• The vehicle cannot be shifted out of PARK normally. • To avoid electrical shock, the high voltage battery CANNOT be jump started.
•
Explosive hydrogen gas is always present in the vicinity of the 12-volt battery. Keep all
sparks and flames away from the 12-volt 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 12-volt 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 12-volt 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 12-volt battery at the same time that the
high voltage battery is being charged. Doing so may damage the vehicle or charging
equipment and could cause an injury.
