ELECTRIC SHIFT CONTROL
SYSTEM
This vehicle is equipped with an electric
shif t control system. This control system
has three features:
• Smooth and easy shif t lever operation.
• To place the vehicle in the P (Park) posi-tion, push the P (Park) position switch on
the shif t lever.
• The vehicle automatically applies the P (Park) position when the power switch is
placed in the OFF position. For additional information, refer to “Driving
the vehicle” in the “Starting and driving” sec-
tion of this manual.
LED HEADLIGHT (low beam) (if so
equipped)
This vehicle uses an LED headlight for the
headlight low beam. The LED headlight has
the following features:
• Low power consumption
• The shape is very compact.
It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN
certified LEAF dealer to replace the head-
light.
DRIVING RANGE
On the vehicle information display or navi-
gation system screen (if so equipped), you
can check the estimated distance the ve-
hicle may be driven with the available Li-ion
battery charge. For additional information,
refer to the NissanConnect® Manual (for
Leaf ).

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 avail-able charge gauge on the vehicle infor-
mation display when the power switch is
placed in the ON position. For additional
information, refer to “Li-ion battery avail-
able charge gauge” and “Low battery
charge indicator” in the “Instruments and
controls” 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, re-
fer 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 cardiac
pacemaker or an implantable cardio-
vascular defibrillator, check with the
electric medical device manufac-
turer concerning the effects that
charging may have on implanted de-
vices before starting the charge op-
eration. Charging may affect 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 bat-
tery from charging properly or could
result in damage to the vehicle or Li-ion
battery.
ChargingCH-9

• 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 remote charge (models with Navigation
System) can be performed in the normal
charge mode. For additional information,
refer to “Charging methods” in this sec-
tion.
• The charging equipment communicates with the vehicle before Li-ion battery
charging starts. If this communication
does not occur because other equip-
ment 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 (mod-
els 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.
When the power switch is in the ON po-
sition, the Li-ion battery will not start
charging.
3. Open the charge port lid and charge port cap. For additional information, re-
fer to “Charge port lid” and “Charge port
cap” in the “Pre-driving checks and ad-
justments” section of this manual.
4. Connect the charge connector to thecharge port. If it is connected normally, a
beep will sound once.
5. If charging has started or if the battery is waiting for the charging timer, a beep
will sound twice and the charging status
indicator light display will change. For
additional information, refer to “Charg-
ing status indicator lights” in this section.

battery is waiting for the charging timer,
a beep will sound twice and the charg-

your driveway, use a commercially
available padlock attached in position
