EV Overview The EV (Electric V ehicle) system ............ .EV-2 Li-ion battery ........................ .EV-2 Driving with a discharged Li-ion battery ...... .EV-3 Charging the 12-volt battery ............. .EV-5 Li-ion battery warmer ...............
The LEAF is an electric vehicle. Some of the vehicle’s systems operate differently and have different operating characteristics than vehicles equipped with an internal combustion engine. It is important to carefully review the entire Owner’s Manual for this reason.
NO TE: • If the outside temperature is −13°F (−25°C) or less, the Li-ion battery may freeze and it cannot be charged or provide 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.
There are three levels of information that will be displayed as the Li-ion battery becomes dis- charged: 1. The following warning lights illuminate on the instrument panel and messages are displayed o.
there is no power available to drive the ve- hicle. Contact Roadside assistance service shown in your NISSAN Warranty Information Booklet. See “If the Li-ion battery becomes completely discharged” in the “In case of emergency” section.
• The Li-ion battery warmer uses Li-ion bat- tery power to operate, even if the vehicle is connected to a charger when: – the vehicle’s power switch is in the ON position. – there is no electrical power being sup- plied to the charging equipment.
HIGH-VOL T AGE COMPONENTS WARNING • The EV (Electric V ehicle) system uses high voltage up to approximately DC 400 volt. The system can be hot during and after starting and when the vehicle is shut off. Be careful of both the high voltage and the high temperature.
WARNING In case of a collision: • If your vehicle is drivable, pull your vehicle off the road, push the P (Park) position switch on the shift lever, apply the parking brake and turn the EV (Electric Vehicle) system off. • Check your vehicle to see if there are exposed high-voltage parts or cables.
EMERGENC Y SHUT -OFF S Y STEM The emergency shut-off system is activated and the high-voltage system automatically turns off in the following conditions: - Front and side collisions in which the air bags are deployed.
Li-ion battery is fully charged to prevent the Li-ion battery from becoming over- charged. Regenerating brake is also auto- matically reduced when the battery tem- perature is high/low (indicated by the red/ blue zones on the Li-ion battery temperature gauge) to prevent Li-ion bat- tery damage.

BEFORE DRIVING Y OUR VEHICLE (MODELS WITH NA VIGA TION S Y STEM) The Li-ion battery charging status and the Li-ion battery warmer operation can be checked using an internet enabled smart phone or personal computer at home. Y ou may also choose to have SMS messages (text messages) sent to a cellular phone.
Checking Li-ion battery charging status The Li-ion battery charge status can be checked on the NISSAN CARWINGS Data Center web- site via an internet enabled smart phone or per- sonal computer. If the Li-ion battery is not sufficiently charged, you can start charging the Li-ion battery via the re- mote charge function.
Operating the climate control system before driving The vehicle heating and air conditioning system can be turned on via remote control with an internet enabled smart phone or personal com- puter. This allows the interior of the vehicle to be heated or cooled while the vehicle is charging.
Notification of the Li-ion battery warmer operation Y ou can be notified the Li-ion battery warmer operation on the NISSAN CARWINGS Data Center website via an internet enabled smart phone or personal computer.
ST ARTING Y OUR VEHICLE 1. Depress the brake pedal. 2. Press the power switch. 3. Check that the READ Y to drive indicator light illuminates and the start up sound is audible. See “Ready to drive indicator light” in the “Instruments and controls” section.
DRIVING THE VEHICLE 1. Depress the brake pedal. 2. Release the parking brake. 3. Move the shift lever into the D (Drive) position. When released, the shift lever returns to its original center position. 4. Confirm that the vehicle is in the D (Drive) position.
Use the ECO position for maximum vehicle range and for city driving. The ECO position helps re- duce power consumption by reducing accelera- tion when compared to the same accelerator pedal position in the D (Drive) position and re- duces the power provided to the heating and air conditioner system.
If the low battery charge warning light illuminates, the Li-ion battery charge is too low for travel. See “Empty light” in the “Instruments and controls” section.
Parking the vehicle 1. When stopping the vehicle, push the P (Park) position switch on the shift lever while de- pressing the brake pedal. Confirm that the vehicle is in the P (Park) position by checking the shift indicator located near the shift lever or on the vehicle information display .

WARNING • Every person who drives or rides in this vehicle should use a seat belt at all times. Children should be properly re- strained in the rear seat and, if appro- priate, in a child restraint. • The seat belt should be properly ad- justed to a snug fit.
PREGNANT WOMEN NISSAN recommends that pregnant women use seat belts. The seat belt should be worn snug, and always position the lap belt as low as pos- sible around the hips, not the waist. Place the shoulder belt over your shoulder and across your chest.
• If the seat belt cannot be pulled from its fully retracted position, firmly pull the belt and release it. Then smoothly pull the belt out of the retractor. 3. Position the lap belt portion low and snug on the hips as shown. 4. Pull the shoulder belt portion toward the re- tractor to take up extra slack.
Unfastening the seat belts T o unfasten the seat belt, push the button on the buckle. The seat belt automatically retracts. Checking seat belt operation Seat belt retractors are designed to lock seat belt movement by two separate methods: • When the belt is pulled quickly from the retrac- tor.
WARNING • After adjustment, release the adjust- ment button and then try to move the shoulder belt anchor up and down to make sure that it is securely fixed in position. • The shoulder belt anchor height should be adjusted to the position that is best for you.
SEA T BEL T EXTENDERS If, because of body size or driving position, it is not possible to properly fit the lap-shoulder belt and fasten it, an extender that is compatible with the installed seat belts is available that can be purchased.
There are three basic types of child restraint systems: • Rear-facing child restraint • Forward-facing child restraint • Booster seat The proper restraint depends on the child’s size. Generally , infants up to about 1 year and less than 20 lb (9 kg) should be placed in rear-facing child restraints.
placed in a commercially available booster seat to obtain proper seat belt fit. For a seat belt to fit properly , the booster seat should raise the child so that the shoulder belt is properly positioned across the chest and the top, middle portion of the shoulder.
– NISSAN recommends that all child restraints be installed in the rear seat. Studies show that children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat. If you must install a forward-facing child restraint in the front seat, see later in this section.
All U.S. states and Canadian provinces or territories require that infants and small children be restrained in an approved child restraint at all times while the vehicle is being operated. Canadian law requires the top tether strap on forward-facing child re- straints be secured to the designated an- chor point on the vehicle.
• Child restraint anchorages are de- signed to withstand only those loads imposed by correctly fitted child re- straints. Under no circumstances are they to be used to attach adult seat belts, or other items or equipment to the vehicle. Doing so could damage the child restraint anchorages.
When installing a child restraint, carefully read and follow the instructions in this manual and those supplied with the child restraint. T op tether anchor WARNING • If the cargo cover contacts the.
T op tether anchor point locations: Anchor points are located on the back side of the seatbacks. The child restraint top tether strap must be used when installing child restraints with the LA T CH lower anchor attachments or seat belts.
4. After attaching the child restraint, test it be- fore you place the child in it. Push it from side to side while holding the seat near the LA T CH attachment path. The child restraint should not move more than 1 inch (25 mm) from side to side. T ry to tug it forward and check to see if the LA T CH attachment holds the restraint in place.
Refer to all Warnings and Cautions in “Child safety” and “Child restraints” earlier in this sec- tion before installing a child restraint. Follow these steps to install a rear-facing child restraint using the vehicle seat belt in the rear seat: 1.
6. After attaching the child restraint, test it be- fore you place the child in it. Push it from side to side while holding the child restraint near the seat belt path. The child restraint should not move more than 1 inch (25 mm) , from side to side. T ry to tug it forward and check to see if the belt holds the restraint in place.
FORW ARD-F ACING CHILD RESTRAINT INST ALLA TION USING LA T CH Refer to all Warnings and Cautions in “Child safety” and “Child restraints” earlier in this sec- tion before installing a child restraint. Follow these steps to install a forward-facing child restraint using the LA T CH system.

seat to the rearmost position. Child re- straints for infants must be used in the rear-facing direction and therefore must not be used in the front seat. 2. Position the child restraint on the seat. Always follow the child restraint manufacturer’s instructions.
4. Pull the shoulder belt until the belt is fully extended. At this time, the seat belt retractor is in the Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) mode (child restraint mode) . It reverts to the Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) mode when the seat belt is fully retracted.
7. Tighten the tether strap according to the manufacturer’s instructions to remove any slack. 8. After attaching the child restraint, test it be- fore you place the child in it. Push it from side to side while holding the child restraint near the seat belt path.
INST ALLING T OP TETHER STRAP WARNING • Child restraint anchorages are de- signed to withstand only those loads imposed by correctly fitted child re- straints. Under no circumstances are they to be used to attach adult seat belts, or other items or equipment to the vehicle.
PRECAUTIONS ON BOOSTER SEA TS WARNING If a booster seat and seat belt are not used properly, the risk of a child being injured in a sudden stop or collision greatly increases: • Make sure the shoulder portion of the belt is away from the child’s face and neck and the lap portion of the belt does not cross the stomach.
• Make sure the child’s head will be properly supported by the booster seat or vehicle seat. The seatback must be at or above the center of the child’s ears. For example, if a low back booster seat 䊊 1 is chosen, the vehicle seatback must be at or above the center of the child’s ears.
Follow these steps to install a booster seat on the rear seat or on the front passenger seat: 1. If you must install a booster seat in the front seat, move the seat to the rearmost position. 2. Position the booster seat on the seat. Only place it in the forward-facing direction.
7. If the booster seat is installed in the front passenger seat, push the power switch to the ON position. The front passenger air bag sta- tus light may or may not illuminate depending on the size of the child and the type of booster seat used. See “Front passen- ger air bag and status light” .
WARNING • The front air bags ordinarily will not in- flate in the event of a side impact, rear impact, rollover or lower severity frontal collision. Always wear your seat belts to help reduce the risk or severity of injury in various kinds of accidents.
• The driver and front passenger seat belt buckles are equipped with sen- sors that detect if the seat belts are fastened. The Advanced Air Bag Sys- tem monitors the severity of a collision and seat belt usage then inflates the air bags as needed. Failure to properly wear seat belts can increase the risk or severity of injury in an accident.
WARNING • Never let children ride unrestrained or extend their hands or face out of the window. Do not attempt to hold them in your lap or arms. Some examples of dangerous riding positions are shown in the illustrations.
WARNING Front seat-mounted side-impact supple- mental air bags and roof-mounted cur- tain side-impact supplemental air bags: • The side air bags and curtain air bags ordinarily will not inflate in the event of a frontal impact, rear impact, rollover or lower severity side collision.

WARNING • Use a phone after stopping your ve- hicle in a safe location. If you have to use a phone while driving, exercise ex- treme caution at all times so full atten- tion may be given to vehicle operation.
Y ou can connect up to 5 different Bluetooth® cellular phones to the in-vehicle phone module. However, you can talk on only one cellular phone at a time.
USING THE S Y STEM The NISSAN V oice Recognition system allows hands-free operation of the Bluetooth® Phone System. If the vehicle is in motion, some commands may not be available so full attention may be given to vehicle operation.
– “One eight oh oh six six two six two oh oh” , or – “One eight zero zero six six two six two oh oh” • W ords can be used for the first 4 digits places only .
See “List of voice commands” and “During a call” in this section for more information. Phone/end While the Voice Recognition system is active, press and hold the button for 5 seconds to quit the V oice Recognition system at any time.
“1234” has been assigned by NISSAN and cannot be changed. 3. The system asks you to say a name for the phone 䊊 C . If the name is too long or too short, the system tells you, then prompts you for a name again.
After the main menu, you can say “Help” to hear the list of commands currently available any time the system is waiting for a response. If you want to end an action without completing it, you can say “Cancel” or “Quit” at any time the system is waiting for a response.
• “Cancel/Quit” — The system announces “Can- cel,” ends the VR session and returns to the call. • “Send” — Use the Send command to enter numbers, “*” or “#” during a call. For example, if you were directed to dial an extension by an automated system: Say: “Send one two three four.
T o transfer a phone number stored in the cellular phone’s memory: Say “T ransfer entry.” The system acknowledges the command and asks you to initiate the transfer from the phone handset. The new contact phone number will be transferred from the cellular phone via the Bluetooth® communication link.
Y ou can stop the playback of the list at any time by pressing the button on the steering wheel. The system ends the VR session. See the “Record name” command in this section for infor- mation about recording custom voice tags for list entries that the system has difficulty pronounc- ing.
“Delete Phone” 䊊 D Use the Delete Phone command to delete a phone that is connected to the vehicle. The sys- tem will list the names assigned to each phone and then prompt you for the phone you wish to delete. Deleting a phone from the vehicle will also delete that phonebook for that phone.

6. When it is safe to do so, gradually turn the steering wheel until both tires return to the road surface. When all tires are on the road surface, steer the vehicle to stay in the appro- priate driving lane.
Remember, drinking and driving don’t mix! That is true for drugs too (over-the-counter, prescrip- tion, and illegal drugs) . Do not drive if your ability to operate your vehicle is impaired by alcohol, drugs, or some other physical condition. WARNING Do not operate the power switch while driving the vehicle except in an emer- gency.
OPERA TING RANGE FOR EV (ELECTRIC VEHICLE) ST ART FUNCTION The Intelligent Key function can only be used for starting the EV (Electric V ehicle) system when the Intelligent Key is within the specified operat- ing range 䊊 1 .
The indicator light 䊊 A on the power switch illumi- nates when the power switch is in the ACC or ON position. The power lock is designed so that the power switch position cannot be switched to L OCK until the vehicle is into the P (Park) position. When the power switch cannot be switched to the L OCK position, proceed as follows.
NISSAN INTELLIGENT KEY® BA TTER Y DISCHARGE If the Intelligent Key battery is discharged, or environmental conditions interfere with the Intel- ligent Key operation, start the EV (Electric Ve- hicle) system in the READ Y to drive mode ac- cording to the following procedure: 1.
1. Confirm the parking brake is applied. 2. Confirm that the vehicle is in the P (Park) position. The EV (Electric Vehicle) is designed not to operate unless the shift lever is in the P (Park) or N (Neutral) positions. The Intelligent Key must be carried with you when operating the power switch.
Shifting T o move the shift lever, : Slide along the gate while the brake pedal is depressed. : After sliding, maintain it in the same position until the vehicle placed to N (Neutral) position.
CAUTION • Do not slide the shift lever while push- ing the P position switch. This may also damage the electric motor. • When switching to the preferred posi- tion by operating the shift lever, check that the shift lever returns to the cen- tral position by releasing your hand from the lever.
N (Neutral): Neither forward nor reverse gear is engaged. The vehicle can be placed in READ Y to drive position in this position. Do not shift to the N (Neutral) position while driving. The regenerative brake system does not operate in the N (Neutral) position.
WARNING • Be sure the parking brake is released before driving. Failure to do so could cause brake failure and lead to an ac- cident. • Do not release the parking brake from outside the vehicle. • Do not leave children unattended in a vehicle. They could release the parking brake and cause an accident.
WARNING Do not use the cruise control when driv- ing under the following conditions: • when it is not possible to keep the vehicle at a set speed • in heavy traffic or in traffic that varies in speed • on winding or hilly roads • on slippery roads (rain, snow, ice, etc .
• If you move the shift lever to the N (Neutral) position, the cruise control will be canceled. T o reset at a faster cruising speed, use one of the following methods. • Depress the accelerator pedal. When the ve- hicle attains the preferred speed, push and re- lease the COAST/SET switch.
– The ECO position helps reduce power con- sumption by reducing acceleration when compared to the same accelerator pedal position in the D (Drive ) position. – The ECO position reduces the power pro- vided to the heater and air conditioner sys- tem.
1. Firmly apply the parking brake. 2. Push the P position switch on the shift lever. 3. T o help prevent the vehicle from rolling into the street when parked on a slope, it is a good practice to turn the wheels as illustrated.
Y ou may hear a noise when the steering wheel is operated quickly. However, this is not a malfunc- tion. If the power steering warning light illumi- nates while the READ Y to drive indicator light is ON, it may indicate the power steering system is not functioning properly and may need servicing.
• If the power switch position is in a posi- tion other than ON or READ Y to drive, you can stop the vehicle by depressing the brake pedal. However, greater foot pres- sure on the brake pedal will be required to stop the vehicle, and the stopping dis- tance will be longer.
ANTI-L OCK BRAKING S Y STEM (ABS) WARNING • The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is a sophisticated device, but it cannot prevent accidents resulting from care- less or dangerous driving techniques. It can help maintain vehicle control during braking on slippery surfaces.
Normal operation The ABS operates at speeds above 3 to 6 MPH (5 to 10 km/h) . The speed varies according to road conditions. When the ABS senses that one or more wheels are close to locking up, the actuator rapidly ap- plies and releases hydraulic pressure.
the power switch is placed in the OFF position then back to the ON position. The computer has a built-in diagnostic feature that tests the system each time you start the EV (Electric Vehicle) and move the vehicle forward or in reverse at a slow speed.
WARNING • Never rely solely on the hill start assist system to prevent the vehicle from moving backward on a hill. Always drive carefully and attentively. Depress the brake pedal when the vehicle is stopped on a steep hill. Be especially careful when stopped on a hill on fro- zen or muddy roads.
• The predicted charging time displayed on the meter and navigation system in- creases when the Li-ion battery warmer operates. • V ehicle range may be substantially re- duced in extremely cold conditions (for example under -4°F (-20°C)) .
Tire chains may be used. For details, see “Tire chains” in the “Maintenance and do-it-yourself” section. SPECIAL WINTER EQUIPMENT It is recommended that the following items be carried in the vehicle during winter: • A scraper and stiff-bristled brush to remove ice and snow from the windows and wiper blades.
