Heat NISSAN LEAF 2023 User Guide

–Do not use the EVSE in structures
using fuse-based circuit protec-
tion. Use only with electrical cir-
cuits protected by circuit
breakers.
– Do not use the EVSE on electrical
circuits with two-prong outlets.
– Do not use the EVSE if other de-
vices are plugged into the same
circuit.
– When unplugging, be sure to pull
by the plug or the EVSE, not the
cord.
– Do not pull, twist, bend, step on or
drag the cable.
– Do not attach or detach the
Genuine NISSAN Adapter while
the Genuine NISSAN Adapter is in-
serted into an outlet.
– Do not use the Genuine NISSAN
Adapter if the plug is not fully in-
serted and not locked.
– If you use the EVSE holder, handle
it with care to avoid injuries due to
contact with its edges or other
parts. –
Do not use the EVSE if the cable or
cord is frayed, has broken insula-
tion, or shows any other indica-
tions of damage.
– Stop using the EVSE immediately
if charging stops before comple-
tion when you move the plug or
cord.
– Do not use the EVSE if the control
box, plug, the EVSE or charge con-
nector is broken, cracked, open,
corroded or shows any other indi-
cations of damage.
– Do not use the EVSE if the plug has
a loose connection with the outlet
or if the outlet is damaged or
rusted.
– Before you connect the EVSE, be
sure to check the rated current
shown on the EVSE to ensure that
the outlet and circuit have enough
current capacity to charge your
vehicle safely. If the capacity of
the outlet and circuit is not
enough, wiring may cause over-
heating or a fire. –
If in any doubt about the outlet
and circuit, consult a qualified
electrician.
– The EVSE has parts that may
spark inside. Do not use it where
gasoline, paint, or flammable liq-
uids are used or stored.
– Do not use if a malfunction occurs
or if the EVSE has been damaged
in any manner. It is recommended
that you visit a NISSAN certified
LEAF dealer for replacement.
– The EVSE contains no user ser-
viceable parts. Do not attempt to
repair the EVSE, doing so will void
your warranty.
• Pass the lower side belt of the EVSE
case securely through the fastener
on the bottom of the luggage board.
If the case suddenly becomes loose,
it may cause serious injury or death.

CAUTION
• Only charge using a standard AC 220
- 240 volt, 50A dedicated electrical
outlet (for example, do not use an
electric generator). Failure to do so
may cause charging to fail and could
cause damage to the vehicle or the
EVSE due to power surges.
• NISSAN recommends using Genuine
NISSAN charging equipment to
charge the vehicle. Using non-
NISSAN equipment could cause the
Li-ion battery to not charge correctly
and may damage the vehicle or the
EVSE.
Precautions on storage
• Do not store the EVSE in a place exposed to direct sunlight.
• Do not store the EVSE in a place exposed to wind or rain.
• Be sure to store the EVSE with the protec- tive cap on to keep the terminal of the
charge connector away from dirt and
dust.
• Do not store the EVSE with the cable and/or cord wound around the control
box.
• Do not store the EVSE in a condition in which the cable and/or cord are twisted.

NOTE:
• The driving range display will flashwhen the low battery charge indicator
illuminates. Additionally, if you con-
tinue to drive the vehicle in this state
and the Li-ion battery is close to being
completely discharged, “---” will be
displayed. Charge the Li-ion battery as
soon as possible. When the Li-ion bat-
tery is charged, the original display will
be restored.
• Af ter the vehicle is charged, the dis- played driving range is calculated
based on the actual average energy
consumption of the previous driving.
The displayed driving range will vary
every time the vehicle is fully charged.
• The driving range increases or de- creases when the air conditioner,
heater or Li-ion battery warmer (if so
equipped) is turned on or off, or when
the ECO mode is selected, or when any
other accessory is turned on or off
based on driving (for models with
40kWh battery).
• If the rear seat belt reminder message is displayed, the driving range display
is temporarily unavailable.
LI-ION BATTERY AVAILABLE
CHARGE GAUGE
1This gauge indicates the approximate
available Li-ion battery charge to run
the vehicle.
2This figure shows the current state of
charge (%) of the vehicle.
3Low battery charge indicator:
This indicator illuminates yellow when
the available Li-ion battery charge is
getting low. Charge the Li-ion battery before the blue
bar of the gauge
O1disappears.
The low battery charge indicator
O3
illuminates yellow when the available Li-ion
battery charge is getting low. Charge as
soon as it is convenient, preferably before
the blue bar of the gauge
O1disappears.
When the blue bar of the gauge
O1disap-
pears and the charge indicator
O3
illuminates, there is a very small reserve of
Li-ion battery charge remaining.
NOTE:
• The length of the blue bar of the gauge
O1is determined by the available
charge and the amount of charge the
Li-ion battery is capable of storing at
the current temperature.LIC4659

To sound the horn, push the center pad
area of the steering wheel.
WARNING
Do not disassemble the horn. Doing so
could affect proper operation of the
supplemental front air bag system.
Tampering with the supplemental
front air bag system may result in seri-
ous personal injury. To turn on the ECO mode, push the ECO
switch. The ECO mode indicator appears
on the vehicle information display.
To turn off the ECO mode, push the ECO
switch again. The ECO mode indicator will
turn off.
For additional information, see “ECO mode”
(P. 5-157).
The front seats and the rear outboard
seats (if so equipped) can be warmed by
built-in heaters. The switches, located on
the center console and at the side of the
front passenger seatback, can be operated
independently of each other.
1. Place the power switch in the ON
position.
2. Push the LO or HI position of the switch, as desired, depending on the tempera-
ture. The indicator light in the switch will
illuminate.

3. To turn off the heater, return the switchto the level position. Make sure the indi-
cator light goes off.
The heater is controlled by a thermostat,
automatically turning the heater on and
off. The indicator light will remain on as long
as the switch is on.
When the vehicle’s interior is warmed, or
before you leave the vehicle, be sure to turn
the switch off.
NOTE:
The heated seats consume less power
than the heater and can be used to either
help extend vehicle range by reducing
heater use or to maximize comfort by
supplementing the heater.
WARNING
Do not use or allow occupants to use
the seat heater if you or the occupants
cannot monitor elevated seat tem-
peratures or have an inability to feel
pain in those body parts in contact with
the seat. Use of the seat heater by such
people could result in serious injury.
CAUTION
• Do not use the seat heater for ex-
tended periods or when no one is us-
ing the seat.
• Do not put anything on the seat
which insulates heat, such as a blan-
ket, cushion, seat cover, etc. Other-
wise, the seat may become
overheated. •
Do not place anything hard or heavy
on the seat or pierce it with a pin or
similar object. This may result in
damage to the heater.
• Any liquid spilled on the heated seat
should be removed immediately with
a dry cloth.
• When cleaning the seat, never use
gasoline, thinner, or any similar
materials.
• If any malfunctions are found or the
heated seat does not operate, turn
the switch off and have the system
checked. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer
for this service.
