low tire pressure, installation of
spare tire, tire chains, nonstan-

–
On roads where there are sharply

these items as lane markers.)

marker. –
When traveling close to the vehicle
in front of you, which obstructs the

adheres to the windshield in front
of the lane camera unit.

Replacing the halogen headlight
bulb (if so equipped)
The headlight is a semi-sealed beam type
that uses a headlight (halogen) bulb. If bulb
replacement is required, it is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN certified
LEAF dealer.
CAUTION
• Do not leave the bulb out of the headlight reflector for a long period
of time. Dust, moisture, smoke, etc.
entering the headlight body may af-
fect bulb performance
• High-pressure halogen gas is sealed inside the halogen bulb. The bulb
may break if the glass envelope is
scratched or the bulb is dropped.
• Only touch the base when handling the bulb. Never touch the glass en-
velope. Touching the glass envelope
could significantly affect bulb life
and/or headlight performance. • Aiming is not necessary af ter re-
placing the bulb. When aiming ad-
justment is necessary, it is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN
certified LEAF dealer for this service.
• Fog may temporarily form inside the lens of the exterior lights in the rain
or in a car wash. A temperature dif-
ference between the inside and the
outside of the lens causes the fog. If
large drops of water collect inside
the lens, it is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer.
Use the same number and wattage as
originally installed as shown in the chart.
FOG LIGHTS (IF SO EQUIPPED)

replacement, refer to the instruction out-
