case (approximately 14 in (36 cm)
in diameter). Winding the charge
cable in the direction shown below
avoids shortening the cable life. b. Place the EVSE into the case.
c.
Pass the ring of the lower side belt

HOW TO QUICK CHARGE (IF SO
EQUIPPED)
Quick charge uses public charging sta-
tions (up to 50 kW of power [for 40 kWh
battery models] / 100 kW of power [for
62 kWh battery models]) to charge the bat-
tery in a short period of time.
ChargingCH-35

WARNING
• Always use a quick charger that is compatible with the LEAF. Using an
incompatible quick charger may
cause a fire or malfunction resulting
in serious personal injury or death.
• Before starting the quick charge, carefully read the instructions pro-
vided on the quick charger and
make sure the quick charge connec-
tor is properly connected and
locked. Failure to connect or operate
the quick charger correctly could
cause damage to the vehicle or the
charging equipment.
NOTE:
•Quick charging is possible (even several
times a day) if the battery temperature
is not near the red zone. If the battery
temperature reaches the red zone, in
order to protect the battery, quick
charging is not allowed and the power
limitation mode will be triggered. For
additional information, refer to “Li-ion
battery temperature gauge” in the “EV
Overview” and “Instruments and con-
trols” section of this manual. •
When the Li-ion battery available
charge and the Li-ion battery capacity
are shown on the quick charger unit, the
readings may differ from the Li-ion bat-
tery available charge/capacity reading
shown on the vehicle’s display.
To start charging:
1. Push the P (Park) position switch to placethe vehicle in the P (Park) position and
apply the parking brake.
2. When charging the Li-ion battery, place the power switch in the OFF position.
When the power switch is in the ON po-
sition, the Li-ion battery will not start
charging.
3. Open the charge port lid and charge port cap. For additional information, re-
fer to “Charge port lid” and “Charge port
cap” in the “Pre-driving checks and ad-
justments” section of this manual.

may result in the Li-ion battery not
charging or could cause damage to
the charging equipment. 5. Grasp the lock lever and lock the charge
connector.
6. Follow the instructions on the quick charge equipment. When the equip-
ment is properly installed and ready to
