ECO mode NISSAN LEAF 2019 Owner´s Manual

Charging stations or V2X charging/
discharging devices using this standard
are UL certified and safe to use in the US.
While supported by NISSAN, this connector
may not become the US SAE standard. V2X
charging/discharging is possible (even
several times a day). If the battery tempera-
ture is near the red zone, in order to protect
the battery, power of the V2X charging/
discharging will be limited.For additional information, consult a V2X
device manufacturer or a V2X charging/
discharging service provider.
Power limitation mode
This mode protects the health and opera-
tion of the vehicle's Li-ion battery. This
mode operates in certain extreme condi-
tions (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 termi-
nated, especially 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 available
charge gauge on the vehicle information
display when the power switch is placed in
the ON position. For additional informa-
tion, refer to “Li-ion battery available
charge gauge” and “Low battery charge
indicator” 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
“NissanConnect® Manual (for Leaf ).
• Check by using the charging status indi- cator light. For additional information,
refer to “Charging status indicator lights”
in this section.
NOTE:
• During the charge operation, charge
continues 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 con-
nected 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
(AC 220–240 VOLT) BY CHARGING
DEVICE
WARNING
• If you use any medical electric de- vices, such as an implantable car-
diac pacemaker or an implantable
cardiovascular defibrillator, check
with the electric medical device
manufacturer concerning the ef-
fects that charging may have on im-
planted devices before starting the
charge operation. Charging may af-
fect the operation.
• Be sure to follow the precautions for using the charging device 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
battery 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
installed in your home to charge the Li-ion
battery.
• Immediate charge, charging timer and re- mote charge (models with Navigation
System) can be performed in the normal
charge mode. For additional information,
refer to “Charging methods” in this
section.
• The 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 charging device 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.
To start normal charge:
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.

The timer display appears for approxi-
mately 30 seconds when the power switch
is placed in the OFF position.
1Charging time
The estimated time of charging the Li-ion
battery (start time and end time) is dis-
played.
• When the charging timer is set, the charg- ing system calculates the estimated time
to charge the Li-ion battery based on the
electrical power supplied in the last
charging using the timer, and the start
time and end time are displayed.
• The estimated time may be recalculated depending on the actual electrical power
af ter the charge cable is connected. Al-
though the estimated time may be differ- ent from the time that was displayed
when the power switch was placed in the
OFF position, this is not a malfunction.
•
When the charging timer is set to OFF, the
estimated end time to charge the Li-ion
battery to a full level in the case of perform-
ing the immediate charge. The end time is
calculated based on the electrical power
selected in the “Charge Time Screen”.

is longer than 24 hours, “Over 24h” is
displayed.
• When the charging is set to start immedi- ately af ter connecting the charge con-
nector to the vehicle, the start time is dis-
played as “Charge Now”.
• While being charged, the time when the charging has actually started is displayed
as the start time. The end time is dis-
played according to the estimated charg-
ing time that was calculated based on the
electrical power being supplied.
•
For models with Li-ion battery warmer, the
charging system calculates the electrical
power used by the battery warmer when
the Li-ion battery temperature is low, and
longer charging time will be displayed.
• When “Chg. Timer Only at HOME” is set to ON (models with Navigation System) in
the EV Settings, the start time is displayed
only when the power switch is placed in
the OFF position at home. If the power
switch is placed in the OFF position other
than at home, the immediate charge mode is selected and “Charge Now” will
appear as the start time.
• When “Full charge has priority” is set to ON in the EV Settings and the Li-ion battery
cannot be charged to a full level within the
hours between the scheduled start time
and end time of the charging timer, the
charging time shows the time that ex-
ceeds the scheduled hours in the charg-
ing timer.
•
If you need to confirm the estimated charg-
ing time depending on the available electri-
cal power (supplied to the charger), see the
Estimated Charge Time display. Refer to
“Meters and gauges” in the “Instruments
and controls” section of this manual.
NOTE:
• The displayed end time of charging is
an estimation. The Li-ion battery may
not be charged to a full level by the es-
timated end time.

THREE-POINT TYPE SEAT BELT
WITH RETRACTOR
WARNING
• Every person who drives or rides in this vehicle should use a seat belt at
all times.
• Do not ride in a moving vehicle when the seatback is reclined. This can be
dangerous. The shoulder belt will
not be against your body. In an acci-
dent, you could be thrown into it and
receive neck or other serious inju-
ries. You could also slide under the
lap belt and receive serious internal
injuries.
• For the most effective protection when the vehicle is in motion, the
seat should be upright. Always sit
well back and upright in the seat
with both feet on the floor and ad-
just the seat belt properly. • Do not allow children to play with the
seat belts. Most seating positions
are equipped with Automatic Lock-
ing Retractor (ALR) mode seat belts.
If the seat belt becomes wrapped
around a child’s neck with the ALR
mode activated, the child can be se-
riously injured or killed if the seat
belt retracts and becomes tight. This
can occur even if the vehicle is
parked. Unbuckle the seat belt to re-
lease the child. If the seat belt can-
not be unbuckled or is already un-
buckled, release the child by cutting
the seat belt with a suitable tool
(such as a knife or scissors) to re-
lease the seat belt.
Fastening the seat belts
1. Adjust the seat. For additional informa-
tion, refer to “Seats” in this section. 2. Slowly pull the seat belt out of the retrac-
tor and insert the tongue into the buckle
until you hear and feel the latch engage.
• The retractor is designed to lock dur-
ing a sudden stop or on impact. A
slow pulling motion permits the belt
to move and allows you some free-
dom of movement in the seat.
• If the seat belt cannot be pulled from
its fully retracted position, firmly pull
the belt and release it. Then smoothly
pull the belt out of the retractor.
