• Immediate charge, charging timer and remotecharge (models with navigation system) can be
performed in the normal charge mode. For ad-
ditional information, refer to “Charging meth-
ods” in this section.
• The Genuine NISSAN charging equipment communicates with the vehicle before Li-ion
battery charging starts. If this communication
does not occur because other equipment is
used, the Li-ion battery will not charge.
• NISSAN recommends that you connect the normal charge cable when getting out of the
vehicle, even if it is not going to be used. By
doing this, you can get the most out of the
remote climate control (models with navigation
system) and Climate Ctrl. Timer functions the

1. Push the P (Park) position switch to place the
vehicle in the P (Park) position and apply the
parking brake.
2. When charging the Li-ion battery, place the power switch in the OFF position. When the
power switch is in the ON position, the Li-ion
battery will not start charging.
3. Open the charge port lid and charge port cap. For additional information, refer to “Charge
port lid” and “Charge port cap” in the “Pre-
driving checks and adjustments” section of
this manual. 4. Connect the charge connector to the charge
port. If it is connected normally, a beep will
sound once.
5. If charging has started or if the battery is waiting for the charging timer, a beep will
sound twice and the charging status indicator
light display will change. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Charging status indicator

Quick charging is possible (even several
times a day) if the battery temperature is
not near the red zone. If the battery tem-
perature reaches the red zone, in order to
protect the battery, quick charging is not
allowed and the power limitation mode will
be triggered.
When the Li-ion battery available charge

CHARGING TIMER
Use charging timer to schedule when the Li-ion
battery charges. The vehicle automatically begins
charging at the scheduled times when the charge
connector is connected to the vehicle. The timers
do not need to be reset each time the Li-ion
battery needs charging.
With navigation system (if so
equipped)
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
timer settings for each day of the week.
The vehicle automatically begins charging at the
scheduled times 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.1. Push
and touch “Charging Timer.”
Touch “Estimated Time” to view approximate
time required to reach 100% charge.
2. Touch “Edit Schedule.” Timer charge setting screen is displayed.
3. Set preferred time and day of the week for vehicle charging.
4. After entering the information, touch “Save.” A confirmation screen is displayed.
5. Touch “OK” to confirm the setting, push the power switch to the OFF position, and then
connect the charge connector to the vehicle.
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 cold weather.
– The charge connector is connected to the vehicle too close to the scheduled
charging end time.
