IMMEDIATE CHARGE
When a charging timer is not turned on,
charging automatically starts when a nor-
mal or trickle charge connector is con-
nected to the vehicle.
Use the immediate charge mode anytime
you want to start charging when a charg-
ing timer is turned on by performing the
following:
1. Place the power switch in the OFFposition.
2. Push the immediate charge switch.
3. Connect the normal or trickle chargecable when the charging status indica-
tor light changes to display immediate
charge mode. For additional informa-
tion, see “Charging status indicator
lights” (P. CH-49).
NOTE:
• You have 15 minutes to connect a nor-mal or trickle charge connector to the
vehicle af ter the immediate charge
switch is pushed. If a charge connector
is not connected to the vehicle within
15 minutes, the vehicle automatically
returns to the previous setting.
•
To cancel immediate charge mode push
the immediate charge switch again.
• If the charge cable is disconnected, the Li-ion battery automatically switches
to charging timer. To perform an im-
mediate charge again, push the imme-
diate charge switch and connect the
charge cable.
• If the charge cable is already con- nected, push the immediate charge
switch to start performing an immedi-
ate charge.

When charging
When the Li-ion battery is being charged,
the charging status indicator lights will
change depending on the amount the Li-
ion battery is charged.
* : This value is also displayed by the battery
available charge gauge on the vehicle in-
formation display.When fully charged
All of the indicator lights (1) to (3) illuminate
when the Li-ion battery is fully charged to
the selected charging mode level.
The indicator lights turn off af ter approxi-
mately 5 minutes or when the charge con-
nector is removed.
When the indicator light (3) flashes
The indicator light (3) flashes when the 12-
volt battery is being charged. For additional
information, see “Charging the 12-volt bat-
tery” (P. EV-5).
The indicator light will also flash for up to 5
minutes if the electrical power from the
EVSE or charging device is interrupted dur-
ing charging. Charging will restart auto-
matically when the electrical power from
the EVSE or charging device is restored if
the normal charge connector is con-
nected. The charge start beep will not
sound when charging restarts.

SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
All types of charging can- not be performed. The vehicle power switch is in the ON posi-
tion.
Before charging, place the vehicle power switch in the OFF position.
Both the normal charge connector and the
quick charge connector (if so equipped) are
connected at the same time. The normal charge connector and the quick charge connector cannot be connected at
the same time.
The Li-ion battery is already fully charged. Confirm the available Li-ion battery capacity remaining by checking the Li-ion battery
available charge gauge. If the Li-ion battery charge gauge reaches 100%, the Li-ion bat-
tery is already fully charged and cannot be charged. Charging automatically turns off if
the Li-ion battery is fully charged.
The temperature of the Li-ion battery is too
hot or 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, see “Li-ion battery temperature gauge” (P. 2-7).
The 12-volt battery is discharged. If the vehicle electrical systems cannot be turned on even when the power switch is
turned on, the 12V battery may be discharged. Charge or replace the 12V battery.
The vehicle has a malfunction. The vehicle may have a malfunction. Confirm if the warning light on the meter is illumi-
nated. If a warning is displayed, stop charging. It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN
certified LEAF dealer.
Normal charge or trickle charge cannot be per- formed. There is no electrical power coming from
the outlet.
Confirm that there has not been a power failure. Make sure the breaker is on. If an outlet
with a timer device installed is used, power will only be available at the time set by the
timer.
The EVSE or charging device may have a
malfunction. If Genuine NISSAN EVSE is used, see “Charging troubleshooting guide” (P. CH-56) for the
device.
The charge connector is not connected
correctly. Confirm the charge connector is connected correctly.
Plug might not be connected correctly. Confirm if the plug is connected correctly.
There is no electric power coming from the
normal charging station. Confirm operation procedure of charging station.
The outlet (that the EVSE is connected to)
is not connected to the power source cor-
rectly. Confirm the condition according to the illumination pattern of the indicator light on the
EVSE. For additional information, see "EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) control
box indicator light" (P. CH-52).

SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
Immediate charge can- not be performed. Charging timer has been set.
Turn off the charging timer. For additional information, see “Charging timer” (P. CH-43).
Charging timer cannot be performed. The charge cable is not connected. Connect the charge cable.
The time on the clock is wrong.
The charging timer function does not start charging based on the clock located on the
vehicle information display. Adjust the clock. For additional information, see “Clock”
(P. 2-12). If the 12-volt battery is discharged or if the Li-ion battery is disconnected, the
time setting must be updated.
The immediate charge switch has been
pushed. Charging timer does not operate when immediate charge is selected.
Charging timer has not been set. Set the charging timer schedule. For additional information, see “Charging timer”
(P. CH-43).
Charging does not start because the
charging timer start time and end time are
set and the current time is before the set
start time. Confirm when the charging timer time is set to start charging. Change the charging
timer setting to the desired charge time or push the immediate charge switch. For addi-
tional information, see “Charging timer” (P. CH-43).
The charge cable is not connected. Connect the charge cable beforehand.
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, see “Li-ion battery temperature gauge” (P. 2-7).
The electric power supply from the normal
charging station was stopped. Confirm operation procedure of charging station.
