The LEAF is an electric vehicle. Some of the
vehicle’s systems operate differently and
have different operating characteristics
than vehicles equipped with an internal
combustion engine. It is important to care-
fully review the entire owner's manual for
this reason. The main difference is the LEAF
is powered by electricity. The LEAF does not
require and it is not capable of using gaso-
line like a vehicle powered by a traditional
internal combustion engine. The LEAF uses
electricity stored in the lithium ion (Li-ion)
battery. The vehicle’s Li-ion battery must
be charged with electricity before the ve-
hicle can be driven. As the vehicle operates,
the Li-ion battery gradually discharges. If
the Li-ion battery becomes completely dis-
charged, the vehicle will not operate until it
is re-charged.
This vehicle uses two types of batteries.
One is the 12-volt battery that is the same
as the battery in vehicles powered by
gasoline engines, the other is the Li-ion
battery (high voltage).
The 12-volt battery provides power to the
vehicle systems and features such as the
audio system, supplemental restraint sys-
tems, headlights and windshield wipers.The Li-ion battery provides power to the
electric motor (traction motor) that moves
the vehicle.
The Li-ion battery also charges the 12-volt
battery.
The vehicle must be plugged in for the Li-
ion battery to be charged. Additionally, the
vehicle system can extend the vehicle
range by converting driving force into elec-
tricity that is stored in the Li-ion battery
while the vehicle is decelerating or being
driven downhill. This is called regenerative
braking. This vehicle is considered to be an
environmentally friendly vehicle because it
does not emit exhaust gases, such as car-
bon dioxide and nitrogen oxide.WARNING
Your vehicle contains a sealed Li-ion
high voltage battery. If the Li-ion bat-
tery is disposed of improperly, there is a
risk of severe burns and electrical
shock that may result in serious injury
or death and there is also a risk of envi-
ronmental damage.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the Li-ion
battery:
• Do not expose the vehicle to extreme
ambient temperatures for extended
periods.
• Do not store the vehicle in tempera-
tures below −13°F (−25°C) for more
than seven days.
• Do not leave the vehicle for more
than 14 days where the Li-ion battery
available charge gauge reaches a
zero or near zero.
• Do not use the Li-ion battery for any
other purpose.
THE EV (Electric Vehicle) SYSTEM LI-ION BATTERY
EV-2EV Overview

CAUTION
• To prevent damage to the charging
equipment:
– Do not close the charge port lid
without closing the charge port
cap.
– Do not subject the charging
equipment to impact.
– Do not store and use charging
equipment in locations where the
temperature is over 185°F (85°C) •
Make sure the charge port cap is
closed on the charge port when
charging is finished. If the charge
port lid is closed when the charge
port cap is open, water or foreign
materials may enter the charge port.
• Do not charge when a vehicle body
cover is in use. This may cause dam-
age to the charge connector.
• Do not attempt to perform a jump
start on the 12-volt battery at the
same time that the Li-ion battery is
being charged. Doing so may dam-
age the vehicle or charging equip-
ment and could cause an injury. For
additional information, see “Jump
starting” (P. 6-10). •
In normal charging (AC 220 - 240 volt)
and trickle charging (AC 110 - 120 volt)
using the EVSE (Electric Vehicle Sup-
ply Equipment) provided with the ve-
hicle, NISSAN recommends using an
AC 220 - 240 volt, 50A and an AC 110-
120 volt, 15A dedicated electrical cir-
cuit and outlet. The dedicated circuit
is used to help prevent circuit dam-
age or the circuit breaker from trip-
ping due to the high draw of charging
the Li-ion battery. If the dedicated
circuit is not used, the circuit may
cause adverse interference on MCB
(Moulded Circuit Board) and house-
hold electrical appliances such as
televisions and audio systems. If the
circuit is shared, and another electri-
cal device is being used at the same
time the vehicle is charging, the
breaker may trip. A qualified electri-
cian should install a dedicated circuit
if one is not already available.
NOTE:
• When charging the Li-ion battery, place the power switch in the OFF position.
When the power switch is in the ON
position, the Li-ion battery will not
start charging.

WARNING INFORMATION DISPLAYS
(models with a navigation
system)
Low battery warning
When the low battery charge indicatorand the master warning light (yellow)illuminate, the system displays a
message on the navigation system screen
that warns the driver that the Li-ion battery
power level is low.
1. The notification is displayed on the up- per lef t side of the STATUS screen. Touch
[Show] to display the screen showing
detailed information.
2. The system displays a message screen and announces the contents of the
message to warn that the Li-ion battery
power level is low. Check the message
displayed on the screen.
Touch [YES] to search for charging sta-
tions within the estimated driving range.
3. Touch
or press the MAPbutton to
return to the vehicle location screen.
NOTE:
• The low battery warning can be set to off. For additional information, refer to
the NissanConnect® Manual.
• When the battery power level is low, the system automatically obtains
charging station information.
Your vehicle has two types of security sys-
tems, as follows:
• Vehicle security system
• NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System
The security status is shown by the secu-
rity indicator light.
VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM
The vehicle security system provides visual
and audio alarm signals if someone opens
the doors or rear hatch when the system is
armed. It is not, however, a motion detec-
tion type system that activates when a ve-
hicle is moved or when a vibration occurs.

CAUTION
• The outlet and plug may be hot dur-
ing or immediately af ter use.
• Do not use with accessories that ex-
ceed a 12-volt, 120W (10A) power
draw.
• Do not use double adapters or more
than one electrical accessory.
• Use the power outlet with the power
switch is in the ON or READY to Drive
position to avoid discharging the 12-
volt battery. •
Avoid using the power outlet when
the air conditioner, headlights or rear
window defroster are on.
• This power outlet is not designed for
use with a cigarette lighter unit.
• Push the plug in as far as it will go. If
good contact is not made, the plug
may overheat or the internal tem-
perature fuse may open.
• Before inserting or disconnecting a
plug, make sure that the electrical
accessory being used is turned OFF.
• When not in use, be sure to close the
cap. Do not allow water to contact
the outlet. 1. Type-A USB
There are USB/iPod® charging ports lo-
cated behind the center console. These
ports will charge compatible devices.
NOTE:
• Only the USB connection port located
below the instrument panel will allow
operation of the USB/iPod® devices
through the audio system.
• For best results, it is recommended to use the manufacturer cables, which
are sold separately. A USB Type-C to
USB Type-A adapter could be available;
however, results may vary.
