ing timer while the Li-ion battery
warmer operates.
• If the Li-ion battery warmer automati- cally stops because of the Li-ion bat-
tery temperature or outside tempera-
ture change, charging will continue
until the Li-ion battery is fully charged.HIGH-VOLTAGE COMPONENTS
WARNING
• The EV system uses high voltage up
to approximately DC 400 volt. The
system can be hot during and af ter
starting and when the vehicle is shut
off. Be careful of both the high volt-
age and the high temperature. Fol-
low the warning labels that are at-
tached to the vehicle.
• Never disassemble, remove or re-
place high-voltage parts and cables
as well as their connectors because
they can cause severe burns or elec-
tric shock that may result in serious
injury or death. High-voltage cables
are colored orange. The vehicle high
voltage system has no user service-
able parts. It is recommended that
you take your vehicle to a NISSAN
certified LEAF dealer for any neces-
sary maintenance.

BEFORE DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE
(models with Navigation System)
The Li-ion battery charging status and the
Li-ion battery warmer (if so equipped) op-
eration can be checked using an internet
enabled smart phone or personal com-
puter at home. You may also choose to
have SMS messages (text messages) sent
to a cellular phone. Additionally, the vehi-
cle’s heater and air conditioner can be set
to operate using the Climate Ctrl. Timer
function or A/C-heater remote function, if
necessary. For additional information, refer
to “Remote climate control” in the “Monitor,
climate, audio, phone and voice recogni-
tion systems” section of this manual.
NOTE:
• To check the Li-ion battery chargingstatus or to use the remote heater and
air conditioner using an internet en-
abled smart phone or personal com-
puter, the following conditions must be
met:– The vehicle must be located in a cel- lular phone or smart phone cover-
age area. – The internet enabled cellular phone
or smart phone must be located in a
cellular phone or smart phone cov-
erage area.
– The computer must be connected to the internet.
– A cellular phone must be used to communicate with the vehicle.
– A cellular phone capable of text mes- saging must be used to receive text
message regarding vehicle charge
status.
• The remote heater and cooler can ad- just the in-cabin temperature.
• When the charge connector is discon- nected from the vehicle, the heater and
air conditioner operates using vehicle
Li-ion battery electric power.
• If the remote heater and air condi- tioner function and Li-ion battery
charging are performed at the same
time, Li-ion battery charging will take
longer than usual due to the power
used to heat or cool the vehicle.
CHECKING LI-ION BATTERY
CHARGING STATUS
The Li-ion battery charge status can be
checked on the NISSAN Data Center web-
site via an internet enabled smart phone or
personal computer.

OPERATING THE CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM BEFORE
DRIVING
The vehicle’s heating and air conditioning
system can be turned on via remote con-
trol with an internet enabled smart phone
or personal computer.This allows the interior of the vehicle to be
heated or cooled while the vehicle is charg-
ing. This reduces the load on the Li-ion bat-
tery while the vehicle is being driven and
can help increase the vehicle driving range.
For additional information, refer to “Remote
climate control” in the “Monitor, climate, au-
dio, phone and voice recognition systems”
section of this manual.
Notification of the Li-ion battery
warmer operation (if so equipped)
You can be notified with the status of the
Li-ion battery warmer operation on the
NISSAN Data Center website via an internet
enabled smart phone or personal computer.
When the power switch is in the OFF posi-
tion and the charge connector is not con-
nected, if the Li-ion battery warmer starts
or stops, it notifies you to connect the char-
ger to the vehicle.
For additional information, refer to the
NissanConnect® Manual (for Leaf ).

CHARGING AFTER DRIVING
Charging the Li-ion battery
When you return home, connect the ve-
hicle to the charging device installed at
your home or the EVSE plugged to outlet
using the normal charge connector.
Charge the vehicle or set the charging
timer function to have the vehicle charge
at a specific time. For additional informa-
tion, refer to “Charging timer” in the “Charg-
ing” section of this manual.1. When the power switch is turned off, the
settings of the charging timer, and the
Climate Ctrl. Timer and the charge con-
nector lock functions are displayed on
the vehicle information display. For addi-
tional information, refer to “Vehicle infor-
mation display” in the “Instruments and
controls” section of this manual.
2. Open the charge port lid and charge port cap. For additional information, re-
fer to “Charge port lid” in the “Pre-driving
checks and adjustments” section of this
manual. 3. Connect the charge connector to the
vehicle.
4. When the charging timer is turned on, charging starts at the set time. When the
charging timer is not turned on, charg-
ing starts immediately.
NOTE:
• Charging can be started remotely, evenif the charging timer is set up.
• When you have forgotten to connect the charge connector at home, there is
a function that can notif y you via a text
message capable cellular phone, inter-
net enabled smart phone or personal

NOTE:
• When charging the Li-ion battery, placethe power switch in the OFF position.
When the power switch is in the ON
position, the Li-ion battery will not
start charging.
• For your safety, if the charge connector is connected to the vehicle while the
power switch is in the READY to drive,
the vehicle will automatically switch to
the ON position. Because charging will
not be started while the power switch
is in this position, be sure to place the
power switch in the OFF position.
• When the ambient temperature is 32°F (0°C) or less, charging time may be lon-
ger than normal and the level to which
the Li-ion battery can be charged may
be less than at higher temperatures.
• Do not operate the charging timer re- peatedly while the charge connector is
connected to the vehicle af ter the Li-
ion battery charging is completed. Do-
ing so may discharge the 12-volt bat-
tery. For additional information, refer
to “Charging timer” in this section. If
the Li-ion battery becomes dis-
charged, charge it immediately. • The power switch can be set to the ON
position and the climate control and
navigation system (if so equipped) can
be used while the Li-ion battery is
charging. However, because these op-
erations consume Li-ion battery
power, it will take longer for the Li-ion
battery to become fully charged. Place
the power switch in the OFF position to
help reduce Li-ion battery charge time.
• If electrical power is interrupted while charging, charging restarts automati-
cally when the electrical power is re-
stored.
• It is recommended to keep the charge cable connected to save Li-ion battery
power, when the heater and air condi-
tioner are operating with remote op-
eration (models with Navigation Sys-
tem).
• If the charge port is frozen, melt the ice using a hair dryer. Af ter the ice has
melted, charge the Li-ion battery. Forc-
ing the charge connector to connect
may cause a malfunction. • If foreign materials have entered the
charge connector and charge port and
it is not possible to connect it, do not
attempt to force the connection. It is
recommended that you visit a NISSAN
certified LEAF dealer. Forcing the
charge connector to connect may
cause damage to the charging equip-
ment and vehicle.
• There is a hole on the charge port for water drainage. If the water drainage
hole becomes blocked, or if water gets
trapped inside the charge port, do not
charge. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer.
CH-4Charging

• 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
