BEFORE DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE
(MODELS WITH NAVIGATION
SYSTEM)
The Li-ion battery charging status and the Li-ion
battery warmer (if so equipped) operation can be
checked using an internet enabled smart phone
or personal computer at home. You may also
choose to have SMS messages (text messages)
sent to a cellular phone. Additionally, the vehicle’s
heater and air conditioner can be set to operate
using the Climate Ctrl. Timer function or A/C-
heater remote function, if necessary. For addi-tional information, refer to “Remote climate con-
trol” in the “Display screen, heater, air
conditioner, audio and phone systems” section of
this manual.NOTE:
•
To check the Li-ion battery charging status
or to use the remote heater and air condi-
tioner using an internet enabled smart
phone or personal computer, the follow-
ing conditions must be met: – The vehicle must be located in a cellu- lar phone or smart phone coverage
area. – The internet enabled cellular phone or
smart phone must be located in a cel-
lular phone or smart phone coverage
area.
– The computer must be connected to the internet.
– A cellular phone must be used to com- municate with the vehicle.
– A cellular phone capable of text mes- saging must be used to receive text
message regarding vehicle charge sta-
tus.
• The remote heater and cooler can adjust
the in-cabin temperature.
• When the charge connector is discon-
nected from the vehicle, the heater and air
conditioner operates using vehicle Li-ion
battery electric power.
• If the remote heater and air conditioner
function and Li-ion battery charging are
performed at the same time, Li-ion battery
charging will take longer than usual due
to the power used to heat or cool the
vehicle.
EV OverviewEV-13

Checking Li-ion battery charging
status
The Li-ion battery charge status can be checked
on the NISSAN Data Center website via an inter-
net enabled smart phone or personal computer.If the Li-ion battery is not sufficiently charged, you
can start charging the Li-ion battery via the re-
mote charge function. For additional information,
refer to “Charging related remote function” in the
“Charging” section of this manual.
EV-14EV Overview

Operating the climate control system
before driving
The vehicle’s heating and air conditioning system
can be turned on via remote control with an
internet enabled smart phone or personal com-
puter.This allows the interior of the vehicle to be heated
or cooled while the vehicle is charging. This re-
duces the load on the Li-ion battery while the
vehicle is being driven and can help increase the
vehicle driving range. For additional information,
refer to “Remote climate control” in the “Display
screen, heater, air conditioner, audio and phone
systems” section of this manual.
EV OverviewEV-15

Notification of the Li-ion battery
warmer operation (if so equipped)
You can be notified with the status of the Li-ion
battery warmer operation on the NISSAN Data
Center website via an internet enabled smart
phone or personal computer.When the power switch is in the OFF position
and the charge connector is not connected, if the
Li-ion battery warmer starts or stops, it notifies
you to connect the charger to the vehicle.
For additional information, refer to the LEAF Navi-
gation System Owner’s Manual.
EV-16EV Overview

CHARGING AFTER DRIVING
Charging the Li-ion battery
When you return home, connect the vehicle to
the charging station installed at your home using
the normal charge connector.
Charge the vehicle or set the charging timer
function to have the vehicle charge at a specific
time. For additional information, refer to “Charg-
ing timer” in the “Charging” section of this
manual.
1. When the power switch is turned off, thesettings of the charging timer, and the Climate
Ctrl. Timer and the charge connector lock functions are displayed on the vehicle infor-
mation display. For additional information, re-
fer to “Vehicle information display” in the “In-
struments and controls” section of this
manual.
2. Open the charge port lid and charge port cap. For additional information, refer to “Charge
port lid” in the “Pre-driving checks and adjust-
ments” section of this manual.
3. Connect the charge connector to the vehicle.
4. When the charging timer is turned on, charg- ing starts at the set time. When the charging
timer is not turned on, charging starts
immediately.
NOTE:
•Charging can be started remotely, even if
the charging timer is set up.
• When you have forgotten to connect the
charge connector at home, there is a func-
tion that can notify you via a text message
capable cellular phone, internet enabled
smart phone or personal computer. For
additional information, refer to “Charging
related remote function” in the “Charg-
ing” section of this manual (models with
navigation system) .
• 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 next time you use the
vehicle.
EV-22EV Overview

NOTE:
Charging time is typically limited to 60 min-
utes when using a quick charger. Push the
start switch on the quick charger after it
stops if additional charge time is necessary
to reach an 80% charge.
For additional information, refer to “How to quick
charge” in this section.
Power Limitation Mode
This mode protects the health and operation of
the vehicle’s Li-ion battery. This mode operates in
certain extreme conditions (heat, cold, low state
of charge) . Power available to vehicle systems,
including its traction motor, is limited resulting in
limited performance, acceleration and top speed.
Charging may be automatically terminated, espe-
cially with repeated quick charging in extreme hot
weather.
Checking Li-ion battery charge
The three methods for checking the amount of
charge are as follows:
• Check by using the Li-ion battery availablecharge gauge on the meter when the power
switch is placed in the ON position. For addi-
tional information, refer to “Li-ion battery avail-
able charge gauge” and “Li-ion battery low charge warning” in the “Instruments and con-
trols” section of this manual.
•
Check by using an internet enabled smart phone
or personal computer. For additional information,
refer to the LEAF Navigation System Owner’s
Manual (models with navigation system) .
• Check by using the charging status indicator light. For additional information, refer to “Charg-
ing status indicator lights” in this section.
NOTE:
•During the charge operation, charge con-
tinues when the power switch is placed in
the ON position.
• The Li-ion battery cannot be charged if the
quick charge connector and the normal
charge connector are connected at the
same time. If another charge connector is
connected mid-charge, charging will stop.
• For safety reasons, it is not possible to
switch to the READY to drive position
while a charge connector is connected.
• During charging, it is possible that the
radio may be inaudible due to noise by the
electromagnetic wave.
HOW TO NORMAL CHARGE
WARNING
• If you use any medical electric devices, such as an implantable cardiac pace-
maker or an implantable cardiovascu-
lar defibrillator, check with the electric
medical device manufacturer concern-
ing the effects that charging may have
on implanted devices before starting
the charge operation. Charging may
affect the operation.
• Be sure to follow the precautions for using the charger that can be installed
in your home. Failing to do so could
result in serious injury or death.
CAUTION
• Do not use any charging equipment that is not compatible with the LEAF.
Doing so could prevent the Li-ion bat-
tery from charging properly or could
result in damage to the vehicle or Li-
ion battery.
• Normal charge uses the charging device (AC 220 - 240 volt, 16A or 32A) that can be in-
stalled in your home to charge the Li-ion battery.
