SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
Normal charge stops in
the middle of charging. There is no power coming from the outlet. There may have been an electrical power failure, or the breaker may have failed. Charg-
ing will resume when the power source is reset.
The charge cable has been disconnected. Check that the charge cable has not been disconnected.
Both the normal charge connector and the
quick charge connector were connected at
the same time. If the normal charge connector and the quick charge connector are connected at the
same time, charging will be stopped.
Charging timer end time has been
reached. When the charging timer is set and the charge end time is reached, charging will be
stopped, even if the Li-ion battery is not fully charged.
The temperature of the Li-ion battery is too
hot or too 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 charg-
ing. For additional information, refer to “Li-ion battery temperature gauge” in the “Instru-
ments and controls” section of this manual.
The electric power supply from the normal
charging station was stopped. Confirm operation procedure of charging station.
Quick charge cannot be performed. Incorrect charge connector connection, not
fully inserted or may not be locked.
Check that the charge connector is connected correctly and that it is locked.
The self-diagnostic function of the quick
charge device returns a negative result. There is a possibility that the vehicle has a malfunction. Stop charging. It is recommended
that you visit a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer.
The power switch of the quick charger is off. Check the power switch of the quick charger.
Quick charge stops in the middle of charging. Charging is stopped by the quick charge
timer.
Charging will stop depending on the timer function setting of the quick charge device.

2. Make sure there are no objects on yourlap.
3. Fasten the seat belt as outlined in the “Seat belts” section of this manual. Front
passenger seat belt buckle status is
monitored by the occupant classifica-
tion system, and is used as an input to
determine occupancy status. So, it is
highly recommended that the front pas-
senger fasten their seat belt.
4. Remain in this position for 30 seconds allowing the system to classif y the front
passenger before the vehicle is put into
motion.
5. Ensure proper classification by checking the front passenger air bag status light.
NOTE:
This vehicle’s occupant classification sen-
sor system generally keeps the classifica-
tion locked during driving, so it is impor-
tant that you confirm that the front
passenger is properly classified prior to
driving. However, the occupant classifica-
tion sensor may recalculate the weight of
the occupant under some conditions (both
while driving and when stopped), so front
passenger seat occupants should con-
tinue to remain seated as outlined above.
Troubleshooting:
If you think the front passenger air bag
status light is incorrect:
1. If the light is ON with an adult occupyingthe front passenger seat:
• Occupant is a small adult — the air bag light is functioning as intended. The
front passenger air bag is suppressed.
However, if the occupant is not a small
adult, then this may be due to the fol-
lowing conditions that may be interfer-
ing with the weight sensors:
• Occupant is not sitting upright, leaning against the seatback, and centered on
the seat cushion with his/her feet com-
fortably extended to the floor.
• A child restraint or other object press- ing against the rear of the seatback.
• A rear passenger pushing or pulling on the back of the front passenger seat.
• Forcing the front seat or seatback against an object on the seat or floor
behind it.
• An object placed under the front pas- senger seat. • An object placed between the seat
cushion and center console or between
the seat cushion and the door.
If the vehicle is moving, please come to a
stop when it is safe to do so. Check and
correct any of the above conditions. Re-
start the vehicle and wait 1 minute.
NOTE:
A system check will be performed dur-
ing which the front passenger air bag
status light will remain lit for about
7 seconds initially. If the light is still ON af ter this, the person
should be advised not to ride in the front
passenger seat and the vehicle should
be checked as soon as possible. It is
recommended that you visit a NISSAN
certified LEAF dealer for this service.
2. If the light is OFF with a small adult, child or child restraint occupying the front
passenger seat.
Safety–Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-55
This may be due to the following condi-
tions that may be interfering with the
weight sensors:
• Small adult or child is not sitting upright, leaning against the seatback, and cen-
tered on the seat cushion with his/her
feet comfortably extended to the floor.
• The child restraint is not properly in- stalled, as outlined in the “Child re-
straints” section of this manual.
• An object weighting over 9.1 lbs. (4 kg) hanging on the seat or placed in the
seatback pocket.
• A child restraint or other object press- ing against the rear or the seatback.
• A rear passenger pushing or pulling on the back of the front passenger seat.
pushing or pulling on the seatback of
the front passenger seat.
• Forcing the front seat or seatback against an object on the seat or floor
behind it.
• An object placed under the front pas- senger seat.
• An object placed between the seat cushion and center console. If the vehicle is moving, please come to a
stop when it is safe to do so. Check and
correct any of the above conditions. Re-
start the vehicle and wait 1 minute.
NOTE:
A system check will be performed dur-
ing which the front passenger air bag
status light will remain lit for about
7 seconds initially.
If the light is still OFF af ter this, the small
adult, child or child restraint should be
repositioned in the rear seat and the
vehicle should be checked as soon as
possible. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer for
this service.
3. If the light is OFF with no front passenger and no objects on the front passenger
seat the vehicle should be checked as
soon as possible. It is recommended
that you visit a NISSAN certified LEAF
dealer for this service.
Other supplemental front-impact air
bag precautions:
WARNING
• Do not place any objects on the steering wheel pad or on the instru-
ment panel. Also, do not place any
objects between any occupant and
the steering wheel or instrument
panel. Such objects may become
dangerous projectiles and cause in-
jury if the front air bags inflate.
• Do not place objects with sharp edges on the seat. Also, do not place
heavy objects on the seat that will
leave permanent impressions in the
seat. Such objects can damage the
seat or occupant classification sen-
sor (weight sensor). This can affect
the operation of the air bag system
and result in serious personal injury.
• Do not use water or acidic cleaners (hot steam cleaners) on the seat.
This can damage the seat or occu-
pant classification sensor. This can
also affect the operation of the air
bag system and result in serious
personal injury.
