•Less deceleration is provided by the re-
generative brake system when the Li-
ion battery is fully charged. The regen-
erative brake is automatically reduced
when the Li-ion battery is fully charged
to prevent the Li-ion battery from be-
coming overcharged. The regenerative
brake is also automatically reduced
when the battery temperature is high/
low (indicated by the red/blue zones on
the Li-ion battery temperature gauge)
to prevent Li-ion battery damage.
• The brake pedal should be used to slow
or stop the vehicle depending on traffic
or road conditions. The vehicle brakes
are not affected by the regenerative
brake system operation.NOISE AND VIBRATION
You might experience the following noise
or vibration as a normal characteristic of
this vehicle:
• Traction motor noise from the motor
compartment.
• Water pump and radiator fan noise while charging.
• Compressor and radiator fan noise when the Climate Ctrl. Timer or remote climate
control (models with Navigation System)
is used.
• Relay operation noise and vibration at start-up and shut-down of the EV system
(power switch placed in the ON and OFF
position).
• Approaching Vehicle Sound for Pedestri- ans (VSP). This section provides a brief explanation
for the most important LEAF functions. For
additional information, refer to the specific
sections of this manual for detailed expla-
nations of the vehicle features and opera-
tion.
CHARGING THE LI-ION BATTERY
WARNING
The EV system uses a high voltage cur-
rent. Failure to follow the proper han-
dling instructions may cause serious
injury or death. Be sure to read the
“Charging” section and follow the pro-
cedures and guidelines described.
LIFE WITH AN EV (SCENE GUIDE)
EV-12EV Overview

SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
All types of charging
cannot be performed. The vehicle power switch is in the ON posi-
tion.
Before charging, place the vehicle power switch in the OFF position.
Both the normal charge connector and the
quick charge connector (if so equipped) 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. Confirm the available Li-ion battery capacity remaining by checking the Li-ion battery
available charge gauge. If the Li-ion battery charge gauge reaches 100%, the Li-ion battery
is already fully charged and cannot be 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. For
additional information, refer to “Li-ion battery temperature gauge” in the “Instruments and
controls” section of this manual.
The 12-volt battery is discharged. If the vehicle electrical systems cannot be turned on even when the power switch is turned
on, the 12V battery may be discharged. Charge or replace the 12V battery.
The vehicle has a malfunction. The vehicle may have a malfunction. Confirm if the warning light on the meter is illumi-
nated. If a warning is displayed, stop charging. It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN
certified LEAF dealer.
CHARGING TROUBLESHOOTING
GUIDE
ChargingCH-57

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.
If you need to charge the Li-ion battery more, start the charging procedure again.
The power supply for the quick charger is off. Check whether the power supply for the quick charger is off.
