SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
(Electric only)
The EV system uses high voltage up to 403V. The
system can be hot during and after operation. Be careful
of both the high voltage and the high temperature. Obey
the caution labels that are attached to the vehicle.
Never touch, disassemble, remove or replace high-
voltage parts and cables as well as their connectors.
High-voltage cables are orange. Touching, disassem-
bling, removing or replacing those parts or cables can
cause severe burns or electric shock that may result in
serious injury or death.
To avoid personal injury, do not touch high-voltage
wiring, connectors or high-voltage parts (inverter unit,
lithium-ion battery etc.) .
If exposed electric wires are visible inside or outside of
your vehicle, an electric shock may occur. Never touch
the electric wires.
If the vehicle receives a strong impact to the floor while
driving, stop the vehicle in a safe location and check the
floor.
If you discover a leak or damage to the lithium-ion
battery, contact a NISSAN dealer immediately.
Never touch fluid leaks inside or outside the vehicle. The
leak may be lithium manganate from the lithium-ion
battery. If it contacts your skin or eyes, wash it off
immediately with a large amount of water or if possible,
boric acid solution. Get immediate medical attention to
help avoid serious injury.If a fire occurs in the EV vehicle, leave the vehicle as
soon as possible. Never use a fire extinguisher that is
not meant for use on electric fires. Using even a small
amount of water may also be dangerous.
If your vehicle needs to be towed, do it with the front
wheels raised. If the front wheels are on the ground
when towing, the motor may generate electricity. This
may damage the components of the EV system and
cause a fire.
SEE YOUR OWNER’S MANUAL FOR FURTHER
DETAILS.
Nissan recommends having maintenance and re-
pairs for your Electric Vehicle performed by an au-
thorized Nissan LEAF certified dealership. To locate
your nearest authorized Nissan LEAF certified
dealership, contact the Nissan Consumer Affairs
Department at 1-877-NO GAS EV
(1-877-664-2738) .

Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation
of incidental or consequential damages or limita-
tions on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the
above limitations or exclusions may not apply to
you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights,
and you may also have other rights which vary from
state to state.
Nissan does not authorize any person to create for
it any other warranty, obligation or liability in con-
nection with this vehicle.

LITHIUM-ION BATTERY CAPACITY COVERAGE
In addition to the lithium-ion Battery Coverage for
defects in materials or workmanship, the lithium-
ion battery is also warranted against capacity loss
below nine bars of capacity as shown on the
vehicle’s battery capacity level gauge for a period
of 60 months or 60,000 miles, for vehicles
equipped with the 24 kWh battery or 96 months or
100,000 miles for vehicles equipped with the 30

needed parts replacement will be made using Genuine
Nissan or Nissan approved new or remanufactured parts.
Nissan reserves the right to make changes at any time, without notice, to production and service parts in their
specifications, colors, and materials, including those used
in connection with warranty repairs. For this reason, when
approved by Nissan and at Nissan’s discretion, function-
ally equivalent replacement parts may be used that do not
exactly match the original production part.
OBTAINING WARRANTY SERVICEYou must take the vehicle to an authorized Nissan
LEAF certified dealer in the United States or Canada
during regular business hours at your expense in
order to obtain warranty service. The names and
addresses of authorized Nissan LEAF certified deal-
ers are listed in telephone directories.

WHAT IS COVERED?
Nissan2warrants your Genuine Nissan Replacement
12V Battery as described below except as stated under
“What is not covered?”
This warranty covers defects in materials and workman-
ship
3.
HOW LONG IS THE WARRANTY AND
WHAT WILL NISSAN DO
If your 12V battery becomes unserviceable within the
first 24 months of service Nissan will replace your 12V
battery, including labor, without charge, providing the
12V battery was originally installed in your vehicle by an
authorized Nissan dealer.
If the 12V battery becomes unserviceable after 24 months
of use, Nissan will provide a replacement 12V battery at a
reduced price, charging only for the portion of the life of
the 12V battery actually used. This is called a “pro-rata
adjustment.” You will be responsible for all labor charges
for the replacement of the 12V battery.
This warranty and the “pro-rata adjustment” end
84 months after the date of the 12V battery’s purchase
or installation, whichever is earlier. However, the war-
ranty on a Genuine Nissan replacement 12V battery
installed during the Nissan New Vehicle Limited War-
ranty will extend through, and will not end before, the
end of that original warranty.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED?
This warranty does not cover:
1. Damage or failure resulting from:
Accident, theft, fire or freezing.Misuse of the 12V battery or vehicle in which it is
installed, including the use in applications for which
the 12V battery was not designed. Proper use is
described in the vehicles OWNER’S MANUAL .
Improper installation or 12V battery charging.Vehicle electrical malfunctions not covered by
your New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Modification or improper repair of the vehicle or a
part of the vehicle.
Use of parts not equivalent in quality or design to
parts supplied by Nissan.
Environmental conditions, including, but not lim-
ited to flood, and salt spray or salt water.
2. Normal maintenance service and recharging of dis- charged batteries.
3. 12V batteries in service more than 84 months.
4. Salvage Title. This warranty does not cover dam- age, failure, or corrosion to any Genuine Nissan
12V battery installed in the vehicle, if the vehicle is
issued a “salvage” or similar title under any state’s
law, and this warranty is rendered void for any 12V
battery installed in a vehicle prior to the vehicle being issued a “salvage” or similar title unless state
law expressly states otherwise. (This exclusion
does not extend to a new Genuine Nissan 12V
battery installed in the vehicle after the issuance of
a “salvage” or similar title) .
WHAT YOU MUST DO
In order to obtain warranty service, you must deliver the
warranted 12V battery or the vehicle in which the 12V
battery is installed to an authorized Nissan LEAF certi-
fied dealer in the U.S. or Canada at your expense, with
proof of purchase (parts invoice or service repair order
from an authorized Nissan dealer) .
If the “pro-rata adjustment” applies, you must pay for the
portion of the 84 month warrantable life that you actually
used. The amount you pay is computed in two steps.
First, the customer pay percentage is determined from
the chart shown below based upon the months of actual
12V battery service.
Months
Customer Pay
In ServicePercentage
0–24 0%
25–32 25%
33–50 50%
51–84 75%
(Continued on next page)
1 Actual warranty is provided by the dealer at time of purchase and should be read carefully. This warranty is subject to change and the applicable warranty will be that which is in effect on the date of purchase.

Second, the current suggested retail price of the new
12V battery is multiplied by the customer pay percent-
age. For example, should the 12V battery fail after
40 months of service you would pay 50% of the sug-
gested retail price of the new 12V battery.
