Extended storage switch
If any electrical equipment does not oper-
ate, remove the extended storage switch
and check for an open fuse.
NOTE:
The extended storage switch is used for
long term vehicle storage. Even if the ex-
tended storage switch is broken it is not
necessary to replace it. Replace only the
open fuse in the switch with a new one.How to replace the extended storage
switch:
1. To remove the extended storage switch,
be sure the power switch is in the OFF
position.
2. Be sure the headlight switch is in the OFF position.
3. Remove the fuse box cover.
4. Pinch the locking tabs
O1andO2found
on each side of the storage switch.
5. Pull the storage switch straight out from the fuse box
O3.
CAUTION
• Be careful not to allow children to
swallow the battery and removed
parts.
• An improperly disposed battery can
harm the environment. Always con-
firm local regulations for battery
disposal.
• When changing batteries, do not let
dust or oil get on the components.
• There is danger of explosion if the
lithium battery is incorrectly re-
placed. Replace only with the same
or equivalent type.

NISSAN INTELLIGENT KEY® BATTERY
REPLACEMENT
Do-it yourself8-19

Replace the battery in the Intelligent Key as
follows:
1. Remove the mechanical key from theIntelligent Key. 2. Insert a small screwdriver into the slit of
the corner and twist it to separate the
upper part from the lower part. Use a
cloth to protect the casing.
3. Replace the battery with a new one. Recommended battery:
CR2025 or equivalent• Do not touch the internal circuit and electric terminals as doing so could
cause a malfunction.
• Hold the battery by the edges. Holding the battery across the contact points
will seriously deplete the storage
capacity.
• Make sure that the side faces the
bottom of the case. 4. Align the tips of the upper and lower
parts
O1, and then push them together
O2until it is securely closed.
5. Operate the buttons to check that it is functioning properly.
It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN
certified LEAF dealer for this service.

Electric shif t P (Park) position mecha-
nism:On a steep hill check that the vehicle
is held securely while the vehicle is in the P
(Park) position without applying any
brakes.
Parking brake: Check the parking brake
operation regularly. The vehicle should be
securely held on a steep hill with only the
parking brake applied. If the parking brake
cannot keep a vehicle position, it is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN certified
LEAF dealer for this service.
Seats: Check seat position controls such
as seat adjusters, seatback recliner, etc., to
ensure they operate smoothly and all
latches lock securely in every position.
Check that the head restraints/headrests
move up and down smoothly and the locks
(if so equipped) hold securely in all latched
positions.
Seat belts: Check that all parts of the seat
belt system (for example, buckles, anchors,
adjusters and retractors) operate properly
and smoothly, and are installed securely.
Check the belt webbing for cuts, fraying,
wear or damage. Steering wheel:
Check for changes in the
steering conditions, such as excessive free
play, hard steering or strange noises.
Warning lights and chimes: Make sure all
warning lights and chimes are operating
properly.
Windshield defroster: Check that the air
emits from the defroster outlets properly
and in sufficient quantity when operating
the heater or air conditioner.
Windshield wiper and washer*: Check
that the wipers and washer operate prop-
erly and that the wipers do not streak.
Under the hood and vehicle
The maintenance items listed here should
be checked periodically.
12–volt battery (except for maintenance
free batteries)*: Check the fluid level in
each cell. The fluid should be at the bottom
of the filler opening. Vehicles operated in
high temperatures or under severe condi-
tions require frequent checks of the 12–volt
battery fluid level.
NOTE:
Care should be taken to avoid situations
that can lead to potential battery dis-
charge and potential no-start conditions
such as:
1. Installation or extended use of elec- tronic accessories that consume bat-
tery power when the EV system is not
running (Phone chargers, GPS, DVD
players, etc.)
2. Vehicle is not driven regularly and/or only driven short distances.
In these cases, the battery may need to
be charged to maintain battery health
Brake fluid level*: Make sure that the brake
fluid levels are between the MAX and MIN
lines on the reservoir.
Coolant level*: Check the coolant level
when the high voltage parts are cold. Make
sure that the coolant level is between the
MAX and MIN lines on the reservoir.
Fluid leaks: Check under the vehicle for
water or other fluid leaks af ter the vehicle
has been parked for a while. Water dripping
from the air conditioner af ter use is normal.
If you should notice any leaks, check for
cause and have it corrected immediately.
9-4Maintenance and schedules

Radiator and hoses:Check the front of the
radiator and clean off any dirt, insects,
leaves, etc., that may have accumulated.
Make sure the hoses have no cracks, defor-
mation, rot or loose connections.
Underbody: The underbody is frequently
exposed to corrosive substances such as
those used on icy roads or to control dust. It
is very important to remove these sub-
stances, otherwise rust will form on the
floor pan and frame. At the end of winter,
the underbody should be thoroughly
flushed with plain water, being careful to
clean those areas where mud and dirt may
accumulate. For additional information,
see “Cleaning exterior” (P. 7-2).
Windshield-washer fluid*: Check that
there is an adequate amount of fluid in the
reservoir. The following descriptions are provided to
give you a better understanding of the
scheduled maintenance items that should
be regularly checked or replaced. The
maintenance schedule indicates at which
mileage/time intervals each item requires
service.
In addition to scheduled maintenance,
your vehicle requires that some items be
checked during normal day-to-day opera-
tion. For additional information, see “Gen-
eral maintenance” (P. 9-2).
Items marked with
“*”are recommended
by NISSAN for reliable vehicle operation.
You are not required to perform mainte-
nance on these items in order to maintain
the warranties which come with your
NISSAN. Other maintenance items and in-
tervals are required.
When applicable, additional information
can be found in the “Do-it-yourself ” section
of this manual.
EXPLANATION OF SCHEDULED
MAINTENANCE ITEMS
EV System Charging Port*: Check the
charging port for any signs of contamina-
tion, dust, sand etc. Charging Port Sealing Cap*:
Use only
compressed air with proper eye protection
to clean any contamination from the seal-
ing cap.
EV Battery Usage Report: To maximize
the life of your Li-ion battery, have the EV
Battery Usage Report generated and re-
viewed with you. Review of the EV Battery
Usage Report is required as a condition of
EV battery warranty. Refer to your 2022
LEAF warranty information booklet for de-
tails. Both the 12 month and 24 month in-
spections will be performed by your
NISSAN certified LEAF dealer at no cost to
the vehicle owner.
Coolant: Replace coolant at the interval
specified below. When adding or replacing
coolant, be sure to use only Genuine
NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (Blue)
or equivalent with the proper mixture. (Re-
fer to the Owner’s Manual to determine the
proper mixture for your area.) The recom-
mended service interval of the factory fill
coolant is 125,000 miles (200,000 km) or 15
years, whichever comes first. Subsequent
replacement of Genuine NISSAN Long Life
Antifreeze/Coolant (Blue) should occur ev-
ery 75,000 miles (120,000 km) or 5 years,
whichever comes first.
