2019 NISSAN LEAF light

WARNING
• If you use any medical electric de- vices, such as an implantable car-
diac pacemaker or an implantable
cardiovascular defibrillator, check
with the electric medical device
manufacturer concerning the ef-
fects that charging may have on im-
planted devices before starting the
charge operation. Charging may af-
fect the operation.
• Make sure there is no water or for- eign materials in the charge port,
charge connector, or electrical plug,
and that they are not damaged or
affected by rust or corrosion. If any
of these conditions are noticeable,
do not charge the Li-ion battery. This
may result in a short circuit or elec-
tric shock and could cause a fire
which may result in serious personal
injury or death.
• To avoid serious personal injury or death when the Li-ion battery is
charging, be aware of the following
precautions. – Do not touch the metal contacts
of the charge port, charge con-
nector, electrical plug or Genuine
NISSAN Adapter.
– Do not touch the vehicle and EVSE when there is lightning.
– Do not pull, twist, bend, step on, or drag the cable.
• Make sure the charge connector is removed from the charge port be-
fore starting your vehicle. If the
charge connector is only partially
engaged and the connector latch is
unlocked, it is possible to place the
EV in the READY to drive position.
• Do not touch the plug or the Genuine NISSAN Adapter if they are wet or
with wet hands. Do not put the plug
or the Genuine NISSAN Adapter in
water, liquid or snow. This may cause
an electric shock which may result in
serious personal injury or death.
• Do not disassemble or modif y the charge port, the EVSE or the Genuine
NISSAN Adapter. This may cause a
fire or an electric shock which may
result in serious personal injury or
death. • If you notice an unusual odor, smoke
or abnormal noises coming from the
vehicle, stop charging immediately.
• Be careful not to allow your hands, hair, jewelry or clothing to come into
contact with, or get caught in, the
traction motor cooling fan. The cool-
ing fan can start at any time during
charging.
• Do not use extension cords or adapters unless they are Genuine
NISSAN parts.
• Do not use the Genuine NISSAN Adapter with any devices except the
Genuine NISSAN EVSE.
• Do not allow an unattended child to handle or use this product.
•
Use the EVSE with outlet and wiring
installed according to the regulations/
standards.
• 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.
PRECAUTIONS ON CHARGING
CH-2Charging

operate the vehicle, nor can NISSAN predict
the period of time it may take for public
charging infrastructure to be developed in
your area. Depending on where you live or
drive, there may not be sufficient public
charging stations available to meet your
particular needs for driving range and
charging away from your home. Trip plan-
ning is therefore important, and you should
plan trips with these facts in mind.
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]).
The time needed to charge the Li-ion bat-
tery from discharged (low battery charge
indicator light illuminated) to 80% charged
using the quick charger depends on many
factors including the Li-ion battery tem-
perature and the type of quick charger
used.
It may take more time to charge the Li-ion
battery using the quick charger if the ve-
hicle is parked in a cold location for a long
time.It may take more time to charge the Li-ion
battery using the quick charger if the tem-
perature of the Li-ion battery is high or low.
The Li-ion battery temperature gauge can
be used to estimate the approximate time
needed to charge the Li-ion battery to 80%.
If charging stops mid-charge, you can re-
start charging by pressing the start button
on the quick charger station again. Quick
charging is possible (even several times a
day). If the battery temperature is near the
red zone, in order to protect the battery,
power of the quick charging will be limited.
V2X charge/discharge (if so equipped)
V2X charge/discharge capability is only
available on vehicles manufactured with
the V2X charge/discharge option, which in-
cludes the quick charge port.
A vehicle equipped with a quick charge
port is compatible with most CHAdeMO
(Japanese industry standard) connectors
on charging stations.For 40 kWh battery models
CH-8Charging

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.
