APPROACHING VEHICLE SOUND
FOR PEDESTRIANS (VSP) SYSTEM
The Approaching Vehicle Sound for Pedes-
trians (VSP) system is a function that uses
sound to alert pedestrians of the presence
of the vehicle when it is being driven at a
low speed.
When the vehicle starts to move, it pro-
duces a sound.
The sound stops when the vehicle speed is
more than 19 mph (30 km/h) while acceler-
ating.The sound starts when the vehicle speed is
less than 16 mph (25 km/h) while deceler-
ating.
The sound stops when the vehicle stops.
The sound does not stop with the vehicle in
the R (Reverse) position even if the vehicle
stops.
WARNING
• If the sound cannot be heard, pedes- trians may not notice the oncoming
vehicle, which may cause an acci-
dent resulting in serious injury or
death. It is recommended that you
immediately visit a NISSAN certified
LEAF dealer for VSP system inspec-
tion. • If the VSP system OFF warning light
illuminates while the power switch
is in the ON position, or in the READY
to Drive position, it may indicate the
VSP system is not functioning prop-
erly. Have the VSP system checked. It
is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN certified LEAF dealer for this
service. For additional information,
refer to “Approaching Vehicle Sound
for Pedestrians (VSP) system OFF
warning light” in the “Instruments
and controls” section of this manual.
If you wish to make the sound of the VSP
system louder, it is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer for this
service. It is not possible to make the sound
lower.
EV-28EV Overview

Charging stations or V2X charging/
discharging devices using this standard
are UL certified and safe to use in the US.
While supported by NISSAN, this connector
may not become the US SAE standard. V2X
charging/discharging is possible (even
several times a day). If the battery tempera-
ture is near the red zone, in order to protect
the battery, power of the V2X charging/
discharging will be limited.For additional information, consult a V2X
device manufacturer or a V2X charging/
discharging service provider.
Power limitation mode
This mode protects the health and opera-
tion of the vehicle's Li-ion battery. This
mode operates in certain extreme condi-
tions (heat, cold, low state of charge). Power
available to vehicle systems, including its
traction motor, is limited resulting in limited
performance, acceleration and top speed.
Charging may be automatically termi-
nated, especially with repeated quick
charging in extreme hot weather.
Checking Li-ion battery charge
The three methods for checking the
amount of charge are as follows:
• Check by using the Li-ion battery available
charge gauge on the vehicle information
display when the power switch is placed in
the ON position. For additional informa-
tion, refer to “Li-ion battery available
charge gauge” and “Low battery charge
indicator” in the “Instruments and con-
trols” section of this manual. • Check by using an internet enabled
smart phone or personal computer. For
additional information, refer to the
“NissanConnect® Manual (for Leaf ).
• Check by using the charging status indi- cator light. For additional information,
refer to “Charging status indicator lights”
in this section.
NOTE:
• During the charge operation, charge
continues when the power switch is
placed in the ON position.
• The Li-ion battery cannot be charged if
the quick charge connector and the
normal charge connector are con-
nected at the same time. If another
charge connector is connected mid-
charge, charging will stop.
• For safety reasons, it is not possible to
switch to the READY to drive position
while a charge connector is connected.
• During charging, it is possible that the
radio may be inaudible due to noise by
the electromagnetic wave.

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 cor-
rectly and may damage the vehicle.

WARNING
• Every person who drives or rides in this vehicle should use a seat belt at
all times. Children should be in the
rear seats and in an appropriate re-
straint.
• The seat belt should be properly ad- justed to a snug fit. Failure to do so
may reduce the effectiveness of the
entire restraint system and increase
the chance or severity of injury in an
accident. Serious injury or death can
occur if the seat belt is not worn
properly.
• Always route the shoulder belt over your shoulder and across your
chest. Never put the belt behind your
back, under your arm or across your
neck. The belt should be away from
your face and neck, but not falling
off your shoulder.

THE WAIST. A lap belt worn too high
could increase the risk of internal in-
juries in an accident.
• Be sure the seat belt tongue is se- curely fastened to the proper buckle. • Do not wear the seat belt inside out
or twisted. Doing so may reduce its
effectiveness.
• Do not allow more than one person to use the same seat belt.
• Never carry more people in the ve- hicle than there are seat belts.
• If the seat belt warning light glows continuously while the power switch
is turned ON with all doors closed
and all seat belts fastened, it may
indicate a malfunction in the sys-
tem. Have the system checked. It is
recommended that you visit a
NISSAN certified LEAF dealer for this
service.
• No changes should be made to the seat belt system. For example, do
not modif y the seat belt, add mate-
rial, or install devices that may
change the seat belt routing or ten-
sion. Doing so may affect the opera-
tion of the seat belt system. Modif y-
ing or tampering with the seat belt
system may result in serious per-
sonal injury.
