SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
Charging cannot be per-
formed. The vehicle power switch is in the ON position. Before charging, place the vehicle power switch in the OFF position.
Both the normal charge connector and the quick
charge connector are connected at the same time.
The normal charge connector and the quick charge connector cannot be connected at the same time.
The Li-ion battery is already fully charged. Charging can not be performed if the Li-ion battery is already fully charged. Charging automatically
turns off if the Li-ion battery is fully charged.
The temperature of the Li-ion battery is too hot or
cold to charge. Confirm the Li-ion battery temperature by checking the Li-ion battery temperature gauge. If the gauge
indicates the Li-ion battery is too hot (red zone) or too cold (blue zone) , charging is not possible. Allow
the Li-ion battery to cool or warm up before charging. See “Li-ion battery temperature gauge” in the
“Instruments and controls” section.
The 12-volt battery is discharged. The Li-ion battery can be charged if the vehicle electrical systems can not be turned on. If the 12-volt
battery is discharged, charge or jump start the 12-volt battery. See “Jump starting” in the “In case of
emergency” section.
The vehicle has a malfunction. The vehicle or charger may have a malfunction. Confirm if the warning light on the meter is illumi-
nated. Confirm if the indicator on the charger is indicating a malfunction . If a warning is displayed,
stop charging and contact a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer.
Normal charge or trickle
charge cannot be performed. There is no electrical power coming from the
outlet.
Confirm that there has not been a power failure. Make sure the breaker is on. If an outlet with a timer
device installed is used, power will only be available at the time set by the timer.
The electrical plug is not connected correctly. Confirm the electrical plug is connected correctly (trickle charge only) .
The charge connector is not connected cor-
rectly. Confirm the charge connector is connected correctly.
Immediate charge cannot be performed. Charging timer has been set.
Turn off the charging timer. See “Charging timer” in this section.

SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG
WARNING LABELS
Warning labels about the supplemental front-
impact air bag system are placed in the vehicle as
shown in the illustration.

The warning labels are located on the surface of
the sun visors.
SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG
WARNING LIGHT
The supplemental air bag warning light, display-
ing
in the instrument panel, monitors the
circuits of the Air bag Control Unit (ACU) , satel-
lite sensors, crash zone sensor, occupant classi-
fication sensors, the supplemental front-impact
air bag, front seat-mounted side-impact supple-
mental air bag, roof-mounted curtain side-impact
supplemental air bag and seat belt pretensioner
systems. The monitored circuits include air bag
systems, pretensioners and all related wiring. When the power switch is in the ON position, the
supplemental air bag warning light illuminates for
about 7 seconds and then turns off. This means
the system is operational.
If any of the following conditions occur, the front
air bag, side air bag, curtain air bag and preten-
sioner systems need servicing:
• The supplemental air bag warning light remains
on after approximately 7 seconds.
• The supplemental air bag warning light flashes intermittently.
• The supplemental air bag warning light does not come on at all.
Under these conditions, the front air bag, side air
bag, curtain air bag and pretensioner systems
may not operate properly. They must be checked
and repaired. Take your vehicle to the nearest
NISSAN certified LEAF dealer.
