•Leaks or damage to the Li-ion bat-
tery may result in a fire. If you dis-
cover them, contact emergency ser-
vices immediately. Since the fluid
leak may be lithium manganate from
the Li-ion battery, never touch the
fluid leak inside or outside the ve-
hicle. If the fluid contacts your skin or
eyes, wash it off immediately with a
large amount of water and receive
immediate medical attention to help
avoid serious injury.
• If a fire occurs in the EV, leave the
vehicle as soon as possible. Only use
a type ABC, BC or C fire extinguisher
that is meant for use on electrical
fires. Using a small amount of water
or the incorrect fire extinguisher can
result in serious injury or death from
electrical shock.
• If your vehicle needs to be towed, do
it with the front wheels raised. If the
front wheels are on the ground when
towing, the traction motor may gen-
erate electricity. This may damage
the components of the EV system
and cause a fire. •
If you are not able to safely assess
the vehicle due to vehicle damage, do
not touch the vehicle. Leave the ve-
hicle and contact emergency ser-
vices. Advise first responders that
this is an electric vehicle.
• In the event of an accident that re-
quires body repair and painting, the
Li-ion battery pack and high voltage
parts such as the inverter, including
the wire harness, should be removed
prior to painting. It is recommended
that you visit a NISSAN certified LEAF
dealer for this service. Li-ion battery
packs exposed to heat in the paint
booth will experience capacity loss.
Damaged Li-ion battery packs may
also pose safety risks to untrained
mechanics and repair personnel.
EMERGENCY SHUT-OFF SYSTEM
The emergency shut-off system is acti-
vated and the high-voltage system auto-
matically turns off in the following
conditions:
- Front and side collisions in which the air
bags are deployed.
- Certain rear collisions.
- Certain EV system malfunctions. For the above collisions and certain other
EV system malfunctions, the READY to drive
indicator light will turn off. For additional
information, see “Warning lights, indicator
lights and audible reminders” (P. 2-14).
The emergency shut-off activates for the
above collisions to minimize risk of an
event that could cause injury or an acci-
dent. If the emergency shut-off system ac-
tivates, the EV system may not be switched
to the READY to drive position; it is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN certified
LEAF dealer. Even if the power switch is
switched to the READY to drive position, the
system may shut-off suddenly. Therefore,
drive cautiously to the nearest certified re-
pair facility; it is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer for
service.

3. Subtract the combined weight ofthe driver and passengers from
XXX kg or XXX lbs.
4. The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and
luggage load capacity. For ex-
ample, if the “XXX ” amount equals
1400 lbs. and there will be five 150
lb. passengers in your vehicle, the
amount of available cargo and
luggage load capacity is 650 lbs.
(1400 − 750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs.)
5. Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being
loaded on the vehicle. That weight
may not safely exceed the avail-
able cargo and luggage load ca-
pacity calculated in Step 4. 6. If your vehicle will be towing a
trailer, load from your trailer will be
transferred to your vehicle. Con-
sult this manual to determine
how this reduces the available
cargo and luggage load capacity
of your vehicle.
Towing a trailer with a vehicle that is
not intended for towing may result in
an accident involving injury or death.
WARNING
Do not tow a trailer with your vehicle.
Towing a trailer may result in an acci-
dent involving injury or death.
Before driving a loaded vehicle, con-
firm that you do not exceed the
(GVWR) or the (GAWR) for your ve-
hicle. For additional information, see
“Measurement of weights” (P. 10-14).
Also check tires for proper inflation
pressures. For additional informa-
tion, see “Tire and Loading Informa-
tion label” (P. 10-9).
LOADING TIPS
• The GVW must not exceed the GVWR or GAWR as specified on the
F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. certification
label.
• Do not load the front and rear axle to the GAWR. Doing so will exceed
the GVWR.
WARNING
• Properly secure all cargo with
ropes or straps to help prevent
it from sliding or shif ting. Do
not place cargo higher than the
seatbacks. In a sudden stop or
collision, unsecured cargo
could cause personal injury.
