If the charge connector cannot be
unlocked
1. Place power switch in the OFF position.
2. Open the hood.
3. Insert a flat head screwdriver or suitabletool into the screw that is located on the
front of the hood lock.
4. Turn it clockwise to release the charge connector lock.
5. Remove the charge connector.
CHARGING TIMER
Use charging timer to schedule when the
Li-ion battery charges. The vehicle auto-
matically begins charging at the scheduled
times when the charge connector is con-
nected to the vehicle. The timers do not
need to be reset each time the Li-ion bat-
tery needs charging.
The charging timer can save two timer set-
tings that include the charging start time
and end time. The charging timer can be
applied to the timer settings for each day
of the week (models with Navigation Sys-
tem).
The vehicle automatically begins charging
at the scheduled times when the charge
connector is connected to the vehicle. The
timers do not need to be reset each time
the Li-ion battery needs to be charged. 1. Push the
button to select “EV
settings” and then push the OK button.
2. Push the
button to select
“Charge Timer1” or “Charge Timer2” and
then push the OK button.
3. Push the
button to select
“Timer” and then push the OK button.
The indicator light will turn on when the
timer setting is turned on.
4. Push the
button until to select
“Start time” and then push the OK
button.
5. Push the
button to set “Hour”
and then push the OK button.
CHARGING METHODS
CH-44Charging
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.

Operating tips
• The power seat motor has an auto-resetoverload protection circuit. If the motor
stops during operation, wait 30 seconds
then reactivate the switch.
• Do not operate the power seat switch for a long period of time when the system is
not in the READY mode. This will discharge
the battery.
Forward and backward
Moving the switch as shown will slide the
seat forward or backward to the desired
position.
Reclining
Move the recline switch as shown until the
desired angle is obtained.
The reclining feature allows adjustment of

LI-ION BATTERY TEMPERATURE
GAUGE
The gauge indicates the temperature of
the Li-ion battery.
The temperature of the Li-ion battery is
within the normal range when the display
is within the zone
1shown in the illustra-
tion.
The temperature of the Li-ion battery var-
ies according to the outside air tempera-
ture and driving conditions.
NOTE:
• If the display indicates that the tem-
perature of the Li-ion battery is near the
red zone end of the normal range, re-
duce vehicle speed to decrease the
temperature. If the indicator is over the
normal range, the power provided to
the traction motor is reduced when the
power limitation indicator light is illumi-
nated. Therefore, the vehicle is not as
responsive when the accelerator is de-
pressed while the power limitation light
is illuminated. For additional informa-
tion, refer to “Power limitation indicator
light” in this section.
• If the outside temperature is extremely
low, the Li-ion temperature gauge may
not display a temperature reading. The
vehicle may not be able to be put in the
READY to drive mode. Have the system
checked. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer for
this service.

The “Low Tire Pressure — Add Air” warning
appears each time the power switch is
placed in the ON position as long as the low
tire pressure warning light remains illumi-
nated.
For additional information, refer to “Vehicle
information display” in this section, “Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)” in the
“Starting and driving” section and “In case
of emergency” section of this manual.
TPMS malfunction
If the TPMS is not functioning properly, the
low tire pressure warning light will flash for
approximately 1 minute when the power
switch is placed in the ON position. The
light will remain on af ter the 1 minute. Have
the system checked. It is recommended
that you visit a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer
for this service. The “Low Tire Pressure —
Add Air” warning does not appear if the low
tire pressure warning light illuminates to
indicate a TPMS malfunction.
For additional information, refer to “Vehicle
information display” in this section and
“Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)” in
the “Starting and driving” section of this
manual.
WARNING
• Radio waves could adversely affect electric medical equipment. Those
who use a pacemaker should con-
tact the electric medical equipment
manufacturer for the possible influ-
ences before use.
• If the light does not illuminate when the power switch is placed in the ON
position, have the vehicle checked. It
is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN certified LEAF dealer as soon
as possible for this service.
• If the light illuminates while driving, avoid sudden steering maneuvers
or abrupt braking, reduce vehicle
speed, pull off the road to a safe lo-
cation and stop the vehicle as soon
as possible. Driving with under-
inflated tires may permanently
damage the tires and increase the
likelihood of tire failure. Serious ve-
hicle damage could occur and may
lead to an accident and could result
in serious personal injury or death.
Check the tire pressure for all four
tires. Adjust the tire pressure to the
recommended COLD tire pressure
shown on the Tire and Loading Infor- mation label to turn the low tire
pressure warning light OFF. If the
light still illuminates while driving
af ter adjusting the tire pressure, a
tire may be flat or the TPMS may be
malfunctioning. If you have a flat
tire, replace it with a replacement
tire as soon as possible. If no tire is
flat and all tires are properly inflated,
have the vehicle checked. It is rec-
ommended that you visit a NISSAN
certified LEAF dealer for this service.
• When replacing a wheel without the TPMS such as a spare tire, the TPMS
will not function and the low tire
pressure warning light will flash for
approximately 1 minute. The light
will remain on af ter 1 minute. Have
the system checked. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN cer-
tified LEAF dealer as soon as pos-
sible for tire replacement and/or
system resetting.
• Replacing tires with those not origi- nally specified by NISSAN could af-
fect the proper operation of the
TPMS.
