To stop normal charge:
1. Ensure that the charge connector lock isnot engaged. For additional information,
refer to “Charge connector lock system”
in this section.
2. Press the button on the charge connec- tor, release the lock and remove the
charge connector from the charge port
and properly store it.
3. Close the charge port cap.
4. Af ter closing the charge port cap on the charge port, close the charge port lid.
NOTE:
To stop charging mid-charge, remove
the charge connector. Charging auto-
matically stops.
HOW TO TRICKLE CHARGE (AC
110–120 volt) BY L1 EVSE
WARNING
• If you wear a pacemaker or an im-
plantable cardiovascular defibrilla-
tor (ICD), stay at least 6 in (15 cm)
away from the EVSE.
• If you wear a pacemaker or an im-
plantable cardiovascular defibrilla-
tor (ICD), check with the electric
medical device manufacturer con-
cerning the effects that charging
may have on implanted devices be-
fore starting the charge operation.
Charging may affect the operation.
• In order to avoid an electric shock or
fire due to a short circuit, connect to a
GFI (Ground Fault Interrupter) circuit
breaker and use a waterproof electri-
cal ground socket. •
Discontinue EVSE use immediately if
plug or outlet becomes hot to the
touch or if you notice any unusual
odors.
• Never use extension cords or plug
adapters with EVSE.
• Always unplug the EVSE when not in
use.
• The NISSAN Genuine L1 EVSE charg-
ing device draws 12 amps continu-
ously while charging the Li-ion bat-
tery with AC 110–120 volt outlet. Do
not plug in to any electrical circuit
unless it is inspected by a qualified
electrician to confirm that the elec-
trical circuit can accept a 12 amp
draw. Any electrical circuit has a
much higher likelihood of being
compromised in the following condi-
tions listed below.
– Improper use of the EVSE may re-
sult in a fire and serious injury or
death.
– Do not use the EVSE in structures
more than 40 years old.

PRECAUTIONS ON SRS
This SRS section contains important infor-
mation concerning the following systems.
• Driver and front passenger supplementalfront-impact air bag (NISSAN Advanced
Air Bag System)
• Front seat-mounted side-impact supple- mental air bag
• Rear outboard seat-mounted side- impact supplemental air bag
• Roof-mounted curtain side-impact and rollover supplemental air bag
• Driver and passenger supplemental knee air bag
• Seat belt with pretensioner(s) (front seat and rear outboard seats)
Supplemental front-impact air bag system
The NISSAN Advanced Air Bag System can
help cushion the impact force to the head
and chest of the driver and front passenger
in certain frontal collisions.
Front seat-mounted side-impact
supplemental air bag system
This system can help cushion the impact
force to the chest and pelvic area of the
driver and front passenger in certain side
impact collisions. The side air bags are de- signed to inflate on the side where the ve-
hicle is impacted.
Rear outboard seat-mounted side-
impact supplemental air bag system
This system can help cushion the impact
force to the chest area of the rear outboard
seat passengers in certain side impact col-
lisions. The side air bags are designed to
inflate on the side where the vehicle is im-
pacted.
Roof-mounted curtain side-impact and
rollover supplemental air bag system
This system can help cushion the impact
force to the head of occupants in front and
rear outboard seating positions in certain
side impact collisions. In a side impact, the
curtain air bags are designed to inflate on
the side where the vehicle is impacted. In a
rollover, the curtain air bags are designed
to inflate and remain inflated for a short
time.
Driver and passenger supplemental
knee air bags
This system can help cushion the impact
force to the driver’s and front passenger’s
knee in certain collisions.
The SRS is designed to
supplementthe
crash protection provided by the driver,
passenger and rear outboard seat belts
and is not a substitute for them. Seat belts
should always be correctly worn, and the
occupant should be seated a suitable dis-
tance away from the steering wheel, instru-
ment panel and door finishers. For addi-
tional information, refer to “Seat belts” in
this section.
The supplemental air bags operate only
when the power switch is in the ON posi-
tion.
Af ter the power switch is placed in the
ON position, the supplemental air bag
warning light illuminates. The supple-
mental air bag warning light will turn off
af ter about 7 seconds if the system is
operational.
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM

Safety–Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-43

WARNING
Front and rear outboard seat-mounted
side-impact supplemental air bags and
roof-mounted curtain side-impact and
rollover supplemental air bags:
• The side air bags and curtain air bags
ordinarily will not inflate in the event
of a frontal impact, rear impact, or
lower severity side collision. Always
wear your seat belts to help reduce
the risk or severity of injury in various
kinds of accidents.
• The seat belts, the side air bags and
curtain air bags are most effective
when you are sitting well back and
upright in the seat. The side air bag
and curtain air bag inflate with great
force. Do not allow anyone to place
their hand, leg or face near the side
air bag on the side of the seatback of
the front and rear seat or near the
side roof rails. Do not allow anyone
sitting in the front seats or rear out-
board seats to extend their hand out
of the window or lean against the
door. Some examples of dangerous
riding positions are shown in the pre-
vious illustrations. •
When sitting in the rear seat, do not
hold onto the seatback of the front
seat. If the side air bag inflates, you
may be seriously injured. Be espe-
cially careful with children, who
should always be properly re-
strained. Some examples of danger-
ous riding positions are shown in the
illustrations.
• Do not use seat covers on the front
and rear seatbacks. They may inter-
fere with side air bag inflation.

Front and rear outboard
seat-mounted side-impact
supplemental air bag and
roof-mounted curtain
side-impact and rollover
supplemental air bag systems
The side air bags are located in the outside
of the seatback of the front seats and rear
outboard seats. The curtain air bags are
located in the side roof rails.All of the in-
formation, cautions, and warnings in this
manual apply and must be followed. The
side air bags and curtain air bags are de-
signed to inflate in higher severity side col- lisions, although they may inflate if the
forces in another type of collision are simi-
lar to those of a higher severity side impact.
They are designed to inflate on the side
where the vehicle is impacted. They may
not inflate in certain side collisions on the
side where the vehicle is impacted.
If so equipped, the curtain air bags are also
designed to inflate in certain types of roll-
over collisions or near rollovers. As a result,
certain vehicle movements (for example,
during severe off-roading) may cause the
curtain air bags to inflate.
Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not always
an indication of proper side air bag and
curtain air bag operation.
When the side air bags and curtain air bags
inflate, a fairly loud noise may be heard,
followed by release of smoke. This smoke is
not harmful and does not indicate a fire.
Care should be taken not to inhale it, as it
may cause irritation and choking. Those
with a history of a breathing condition
should get fresh air promptly.
Side air bags, along with the use of seat
belts, help to cushion the impact force on
the chest and pelvic area of the front and
rear outboard occupants. Curtain air bags
help to cushion the impact force to the
head of occupants in the front and rear
outboard seating positions. They can help
save lives and reduce serious injuries. How-
ever, side air bags and curtain air bags may
cause abrasions or other injuries. Side air
bags and curtain air bags do not provide
restraint to the lower body.
The seat belts should be correctly worn
and the driver, front passenger and rear
outboard occupants seated upright as far
as practical away from the side air bags.
Rear seat passengers should be seated as
far away as practical from the door finish-
ers and side roof rails. The side air bags and
curtain air bags inflate quickly in order to
help protect the occupants in the outboard
seating positions. Because of this, the force
of the side air bags and curtain air bags
inflating can increase the risk of injury if the
occupant is too close to, or is against, these
air bag modules during inflation. The side
air bags and curtain air bags will deflate
quickly af ter the collision is over.
The side air bags and curtain air bags
operate only when the power switch is in
the ON position.
Af ter turning the power switch to the ON
position, the supplemental air bag warn-
ing light illuminates. The supplemental
