NOTE:
•If the outside temperature is −13°F
(−25°C) or less, the Li-ion battery may
freeze and it cannot be charged or pro-
vide power to run the vehicle. Move the
vehicle to a warm location.
• The capacity of the Li-ion battery in
your vehicle to hold a charge will, like all
such batteries, decrease with time and
usage. As the battery ages and capacity
decreases, this will result in a decrease
from the vehicle’s initial mileage range.
This is normal, expected, and not in-
dicative of any defect in your Li-ion bat-
tery.
• The Li-ion battery has limited service
life, and when its charging capacity falls
below a specific level, the EV system
warning light will illuminate. Owners
should bring their vehicle in for inspec-
tion and possible battery replacement.
• It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN certified LEAF dealer for infor-
mation about recycling or disposal of
the Li-ion battery. Do not attempt to re-
cycle or dispose of the Li-ion battery
yourself.
DRIVING WITH A DISCHARGED
LI-ION BATTERY
When a destination is set in the navigation
system (if so equipped) that exceeds the
available vehicle range, the navigation sys-
tem automatically searches the location of
nearby charging stations. When the nearby
charging station locations are displayed,
charge the Li-ion battery as soon as pos-
sible.
Warning lights illuminate on the instru-
ment panel and messages are displayed
on the vehicle information display to in-
form you that the Li-ion battery charge is
low. Instructions are also displayed on the
navigation system screen (if so equipped)
to direct you to nearby charging stations.
The vehicle's range is very limited when
these warning lights illuminate and mes-
sages are displayed. Follow the instruc-
tions on the navigation system screen (if so
equipped) and immediately charge the ve-
hicle at the nearest charging station.
There are three levels of information that
will be displayed as the Li-ion battery be-
comes discharged: 1. The following warning lights illuminate
on the instrument panel and messages
are displayed on the vehicle information
display at the same time to indicate low
Li-ion battery charge:
• The low battery charge indicator light
• The master warning light
EV OverviewEV-3
• The “Battery charge is low, Charge now”warning message is displayed on the
vehicle information display.
• Messages are displayed on the naviga- tion system screen (if so equipped).
• For additional information, refer to “Low battery charge indicator” in the “Instru-
ments and controls” section of this
manual.
• The driving range flashes
1.
NOTE:
Due to traffic conditions, it may be dif-
ficult to get to the charging station
suggested by the navigation system
(if so equipped). If the Li-ion battery is
almost completely discharged, drive
directly to the nearest charging sta-
tion.2. If the vehicle is driven and the Li-ion bat-
tery continues to discharge, the driving
range on the instrument panel changes
to “— — —”2.
Messages are displayed on the naviga-
tion system screen (if so equipped). For
additional information, refer to “Li-ion
battery available charge gauge” in the
“Instruments and controls” section of
this manual.

NOTE:
•Charging may automatically stop even
if it is not completed.
• If charging stops mid-charge, you can
restart charging by pressing the start
button on the quick charger again.
• The charge connector is locked to the
charge port during charging and can-
not be disconnected. Follow the in-
structions on the quick charge equip-
ment to stop charging. Confirm
charging is stopped by looking at the
indicators on the instrument panel. The
charge connector can be disconnected
from the vehicle when charging is
stopped.
• When quick charging, the Li-ion battery
charging rate is slower as the percent-
age of available battery charge in-
creases. To finish charging:
1. Confirm charging is stopped by looking
at the indicators on the instrument
panel. The charge connector can be dis-
connected from the vehicle when charg-
ing is stopped.
2. Unlock the charge connector, remove from the vehicle and properly store it.
3. Close the quick charge port cap.
4. Shut the charge port lid.CAUTION
• As the quick charge connector is heavier in comparison to the other
charge connectors, allowing it to
drop could cause damage to the ve-
hicle or charge connector or per-
sonal injury. When removing the
connector, be sure to pull it out
straight and as carefully as possible.

charging rate is slower as the percentage
of available battery charge increases.

For additional information, refer to “Warn-
ing lights, indicator lights and audible re-
minders” in the “Instruments and controls”
