The LEAF is an electric vehicle. Some of the
vehicle’s systems operate differently and
have different operating characteristics
than vehicles equipped with an internal
combustion engine. It is important to care-
fully review the entire Owner's Manual for
this reason. The main difference is the LEAF
is powered by electricity. The LEAF does not
require and it is not capable of using gaso-
line like a vehicle powered by a traditional
internal combustion engine. The LEAF uses
electricity stored in the lithium ion (Li-ion)
battery. The vehicle’s Li-ion battery must
be charged with electricity before the ve-
hicle can be driven. As the vehicle operates,
the Li-ion battery gradually discharges. If
the Li-ion battery becomes completely dis-
charged, the vehicle will not operate until it
is re-charged.
This vehicle uses two types of batteries.
One is the 12-volt battery that is the same
as the battery in vehicles powered by
gasoline engines, the other is the Li-ion
battery (high voltage).The 12-volt battery provides power to the
vehicle systems and features such as the
audio system, supplemental restraint sys-
tems, headlights and windshield wipers.
The Li-ion battery provides power to the
electric motor (traction motor) that moves
the vehicle.
The Li-ion battery also charges the 12-volt
battery.
The vehicle must be plugged in for the Li-
ion battery to be charged. Additionally, the
vehicle system can extend the vehicle
range by converting driving force into elec-
tricity that is stored in the Li-ion battery
while the vehicle is decelerating or being
driven downhill. This is called regenerative
braking. This vehicle is considered to be an
environmentally friendly vehicle because it
does not emit exhaust gases, such as car-
bon dioxide and nitrogen oxide.
WARNING
Your vehicle contains a sealed Li-ion
high voltage battery. If the Li-ion bat-
tery is disposed of improperly, there is
a risk of severe burns and electrical
shock that may result in serious injury
or death and there is also a risk of en-
vironmental damage.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the Li-ion bat-
tery:
• Do not expose the vehicle to ex- treme ambient temperatures for ex-
tended periods.
• Do not store the vehicle in tempera- tures below −13°F (−25°C) for more
than seven days.
• Do not leave the vehicle for more than 14 days where the Li-ion bat-
tery available charge gauge reaches
azeroornearzero.
• Do not use the Li-ion battery for any other purpose.

EV-2EV Overview

BEFORE DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE
(MODELS WITH NAVIGATION
SYSTEM)
The Li-ion battery charging status and the
Li-ion battery warmer (if so equipped) op-
eration can be checked using an internet
enabled smart phone or personal com-
puter at home. You may also choose to
have SMS messages (text messages) sent
to a cellular phone. Additionally, the vehi-
cle’s heater and air conditioner can be set
to operate using the Climate Ctrl. Timer
function or A/C-heater remote function, if
necessary. For additional information, refer
to “Remote climate control” in the “Monitor,
climate, audio, phone and voice recogni-
tion systems” section of this manual.
NOTE:
•To check the Li-ion battery charging
status or to use the remote heater and
air conditioner using an internet en-
abled smart phone or personal com-
puter, the following conditions must be
met:
– The vehicle must be located in a cel- lular phone or smart phone cover-
age area. – The internet enabled cellular phone
or smart phone must be located in a
cellular phone or smart phone cov-
erage area.
– The computer must be connected to the internet.
– A cellular phone must be used to communicate with the vehicle.
– A cellular phone capable of text mes- saging must be used to receive text
message regarding vehicle charge
status.
• The remote heater and cooler can ad-
just the in-cabin temperature.
• When the charge connector is discon-
nected from the vehicle, the heater and
air conditioner operates using vehicle
Li-ion battery electric power.
• If the remote heater and air conditioner
function and Li-ion battery charging are
performed at the same time, Li-ion bat-
tery charging will take longer than
usual due to the power used to heat or
cool the vehicle.
CHECKING LI-ION BATTERY
CHARGING STATUS
The Li-ion battery charge status can be
checked on the NISSAN Data Center web-
site via an internet enabled smart phone or
personal computer.
If the Li-ion battery is not sufficiently
charged, you can start charging the Li-ion
battery via the remote charge function. For
additional information, refer to “Charging
related remote function” in the “Charging”
section of this manual.
EV OverviewEV-15

CAUTION
• To prevent damage to the charging
equipment:
–
Do not close the charge port lid
without closing the charge port cap.
– Do not subject the charging
equipment to impact.
– Do not store and use charging equipment in locations where the
temperature is over 185°F (85°C) • Make sure the charge port cap is
closed on the charge port when
charging is finished. If the charge
port lid is closed when the charge
port cap is open, water or foreign
materials may enter the charge
port.
• Do not charge when a vehicle body cover is in use. This may cause dam-
age to the charge connector.
• Do not attempt to perform a jump start on the 12-volt battery at the
same time that the Li-ion battery is
being charged. Doing so may dam-
age the vehicle or charging equip-
ment and could cause an injury. For
additional information, refer to
“Jump starting” in the “In case of
emergency ” section of this manual. • In normal charging (AC 220 -
240 volt) and trickle charging (AC 110
- 120 volt) using the EVSE (Electric
Vehicle Supply Equipment) provided
with the vehicle, NISSAN recom-
mends using an AC 220 - 240 volt,
50A and an AC 110- 120 volt, 15A dedi-
cated electrical circuit and outlet.
The dedicated circuit is used to help
prevent circuit damage or the circuit
breaker from tripping due to the
high draw of charging the Li-ion bat-
tery. If the dedicated circuit is not
used, the circuit may cause adverse
interference on MCB (Moulded Cir-
cuit Board) and household electrical
appliances such as televisions and
audio systems. If the circuit is
shared, and another electrical de-
vice is being used at the same time
the vehicle is charging, the breaker
may trip. A qualified electrician
should install a dedicated circuit if
one is not already available.
