HOW TO NORMAL CHARGE
(AC 220–240 VOLT) BY L1 & L2 EVSE
WARNING
• If you wear a pacemaker or an im- plantable cardiovascular defibrilla-
tor (ICD), stay at least 6 in (15 cm)
away from the EVSE. • If you wear a pacemaker or an im-
plantable cardiovascular defibrila-
tor (ICD), check with the electric
medical device manufacturer con-
cerning the effects that charging
may have on implanted devices be-
fore starting the charge operation.
Charging may affect the operation.
• In order to avoid an electric shock or fire due to a short circuit, connect to
a GFI (Ground Fault Interrupter) cir-
cuit breaker and use a waterproof
electrical ground socket.
• Discontinue EVSE use immediately if plug or outlet becomes hot to the
touch or if you notice any unusual
odors.
• Never use extension cords or plug adapters with EVSE.
• Always unplug the charger when not in use. • The NISSAN Genuine L1 &L2 EVSE
draws 30 amps continuously while
charging the Li-ion battery with AC
220–240 volt outlet. Do not plug in to
any electrical circuit unless it is in-
spected by a qualified electrician to
confirm that the electrical circuit can
accept a 30 amp draw. Any electrical
circuit has a much higher likelihood
of being compromised in the follow-
ing conditions listed below.
– Improper use of the EVSE may re-sult in a fire and serious injury or
death.
– Do not use the EVSE in structures more than 40 years old.
– Do not use the EVSE in structures using fuse-based circuit protec-
tion. Use only with electrical cir-
cuits protected by circuit break-
ers.
– Do not use the EVSE on electrical circuits with two-prong outlets.
– Do not use the EVSE if other de- vices are plugged into the same
circuit.
– When unplugging, be sure to pull by the plug and not the cord.

HOW TO QUICK CHARGE (IF SO
EQUIPPED)
Quick charge uses public charging sta-
tions (up to 50 kW of power [for 40 kWh
battery models] / 100 kW of power [for
62 kWh battery models]) to charge the bat-
tery in a short period of time.
ChargingCH-35

WARNING
• Always use a quick charger that is compatible with the LEAF. Using an
incompatible quick charger may
cause a fire or malfunction resulting
in serious personal injury or death.
• Before starting the quick charge, carefully read the instructions pro-
vided on the quick charger and
make sure the quick charge connec-
tor is properly connected and
locked. Failure to connect or operate
the quick charger correctly could
cause damage to the vehicle or the
charging equipment.
NOTE:
•Quick charging is possible (even several
times a day) if the battery temperature
is not near the red zone. If the battery
temperature reaches the red zone, in
order to protect the battery, quick
charging is not allowed and the power
limitation mode will be triggered. For
additional information, refer to “Li-ion
battery temperature gauge” in the “EV
Overview” and “Instruments and con-
trols” section of this manual. •
When the Li-ion battery available

SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
All types of charging
cannot be performed. The vehicle power switch is in the ON posi-
tion.
Before charging, place the vehicle power switch in the OFF position.
Both the normal charge connector and the
quick charge connector (if so equipped) are
connected at the same time. The normal charge connector and the quick charge connector cannot be connected at
the same time.
The Li-ion battery is already fully charged. Confirm the available Li-ion battery capacity remaining by checking the Li-ion battery
available charge gauge. If the Li-ion battery charge gauge reaches 100%, the Li-ion battery
is already fully charged and cannot be charged. Charging automatically turns off if the
Li-ion battery is fully charged.
The temperature of the Li-ion battery is too
hot or cold to charge. Confirm the Li-ion battery temperature by checking the Li-ion battery temperature gauge.
If the gauge indicates the Li-ion battery is too hot (red zone) or too cold (blue zone),
charging is not possible. Allow the Li-ion battery to cool or warm up before charging. For
additional information, refer to “Li-ion battery temperature gauge” in the “Instruments and
controls” section of this manual.
The 12-volt battery is discharged. If the vehicle electrical systems cannot be turned on even when the power switch is turned
on, the 12V battery may be discharged. Charge or replace the 12V battery.
The vehicle has a malfunction. The vehicle may have a malfunction. Confirm if the warning light on the meter is illumi-
nated. If a warning is displayed, stop charging. It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN

WARNING
• 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 properly. For additional
information, refer to “Precautions on
seat belt usage” in this section.
• Af ter adjustment, gently rock in the seat to make sure it is securely
locked. • Do not leave children unattended
inside the vehicle. They could un-
knowingly activate switches or con-
trols or make the vehicle move. Un-
attended children could become
involved in serious accidents.
• To help avoid risk of injury or death through unintended operation of
the vehicle and/or its systems, do
not leave children, people who re-
quire the assistance of others or
pets unattended in your vehicle. Ad-
ditionally, the temperature inside a
closed vehicle on a warm day can
quickly become high enough to
cause a significant risk of injury or
death to people and pets.
• Do not adjust the driver’s seat while driving so full attention may be
given to vehicle operation. The seat
may move suddenly and could
cause loss of control of the vehicle.
• The seatback should not be reclined any more than needed for comfort.
Seat belts are most effective when
the passenger sits well back and
straight up in the seat. If the seat-
back is reclined, the risk of sliding
under the lap belt and being injured
is increased.

they are in the folded-down posi-
tion. Use of these areas by passen-
gers without proper restraints could
result in serious injury or death in an
accident or sudden stop.
1-6Safety–Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

• Properly secure all cargo with ropesor straps to help prevent it from slid-
ing or shif ting. Do not place cargo
higher than the seatbacks. In a sud-
den stop or collision, unsecured
cargo could cause personal injury.
• When returning the seatbacks to the upright position, be certain they are
completely secured in the latched
position. If they are not completely
secured, passengers may be injured
in an accident or sudden stop.WARNING
Head restraints/headrests supple-
ment the other vehicle safety systems.
They may provide additional protec-
tion against injury in certain rear end
collisions. Adjustable head restraints/
headrests must be adjusted properly,
as specified in this section. Check the
adjustment af ter someone else uses
the seat. Do not attach anything to the
head restraint/headrest stalks or re-
move the head restraints/headrests.
Do not use the seat if the head
restraint/headrest has been removed.
If the head restraint/headrest was re-
moved, reinstall and properly adjust
the head restraint/headrest before an
occupant uses the seating position.
Failure to follow these instructions can
reduce the effectiveness of the head
restraint/headrest. This may increase
the risk of serious injury or death in a
collision. The illustration shows the seating posi-
tions equipped with a head restraint/
headrest.
