WARNING
In case of a collision:
• If your vehicle is drivable, pull your vehicle off the road, push the P
(Park) position switch on the shif t
lever, apply the parking brake and
turn the EV system off.
• Check your vehicle to see if there are exposed high-voltage parts or
cables. For their locations, refer to
“High voltage components” in this
section. To avoid personal injury,
never touch high-voltage wiring,
connectors, and other high-voltage
parts, such as inverter unit and Li-
ion battery. An electric shock may
occur if exposed electric wires are
visible when viewed from inside or
outside of your vehicle. Therefore,
never touch exposed electric wires.
• If the vehicle receives a strong im- pact to the floor while driving, stop
the vehicle in a safe location and
check the floor.
• Leaks or damage to the Li-ion bat- tery may result in a fire. If you dis-
cover them, contact emergency ser-
vices immediately. Since the fluid
leak may be lithium manganate from the Li-ion battery, never touch
the fluid leak inside or outside the
vehicle. If the fluid contacts your
skin or eyes, wash it off immediately
with a large amount of water and
receive immediate medical atten-
tion to help avoid serious injury.
• If a fire occurs in the EV, leave the vehicle as soon as possible. Only use
a type ABC, BC or C fire extinguisher
that is meant for use on electrical
fires. Using a small amount of water
or the incorrect fire extinguisher can
result in serious injury or death from
electrical shock.
• If your vehicle needs to be towed, do it with the front wheels raised. If the
front wheels are on the ground
when towing, the traction motor
may generate electricity. This may
damage the components of the EV
system and cause a fire.
• If you are not able to safely assess the vehicle due to vehicle damage,
do not touch the vehicle. Leave the
vehicle and contact emergency ser-
vices. Advise first responders that
this is an electric vehicle. • In the event of an accident that re-
quires body repair and painting, the
Li-ion battery pack and high voltage
parts such as the inverter, including
the wire harness, should be re-
moved prior to painting. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN cer-
tified LEAF dealer for this service.
Li-ion battery packs exposed to heat
in the paint booth will experience
capacity loss. Damaged Li-ion bat-
tery packs may also pose safety
risks to untrained mechanics and re-
pair personnel.
EMERGENCY SHUT-OFF SYSTEM
The emergency shut-off system is acti-
vated and the high-voltage system auto-
matically turns off in the following condi-
tions:
- Front and side collisions in which the air
bags are deployed.
- Certain rear collisions.
- Certain EV system malfunctions.

PRECAUTIONS ON SEAT BELT
USAGE
If you are wearing your seat belt properly
adjusted, and you are sitting upright and
well back in your seat with both feet on the
floor, your chances of being injured or killed
in an accident and/or the severity of injury
may be greatly reduced. NISSAN strongly
encourages you and all of your passengers
to buckle up every time you drive, even if
your seating position includes a supple-
mental air bag.
Most U.S. states and Canadian provinces
or territories specif y that seat belts be
worn at all times when a vehicle is being
driven.
