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 Vehicle) 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.
• Less deceleration is provided by the re- generative brake system when the Li-ion battery is fully charged. Regenerative brake is automatically reduced when the Li-ion battery is fully charged to prevent the Li-ion battery from becoming over- charged.

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.
If the low battery charge warning light illuminates, the Li-ion battery charge is too low for travel. See ⬙ Low battery charge warning 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 .
A T HOME AFTER DRIVING Charging the Li-ion battery When you return home, connect the vehicle to the charging station installed at your home using the normal charge connector. Charge the vehicle or set the charging timer function to have the vehicle charge at a specific time.
RANGE The distance you can drive the vehicle (range) varies considerably depending upon available charge, weather, temperature, usage, battery age, topography , and driving style.
• Release the accelerator pedal to slow down and do not apply the brakes when traffic and road conditions allow . – This vehicle is equipped with a regenerative brake system. The primary purpose of re- generative brake system is to provide some power to recharge the Li-ion battery and extend driving range.
LI-ION BA TTER Y MAINTENANCE In addition to the regular maintenance recom- mended by NISSAN, the LEAF requires some special Li-ion battery inspections.
ECO indicator: This indicator provides instant information about how efficiently the vehicle is being operated. Y ou can see how changing your driving style or op- eration of vehicle accessories affects power con- sumption. For additional information, see “ECO indicator” in the “Instruments and controls” section.
Driving range: This indicator displays the estimated driving range (calculated based on a program that ac- counts for current driving style and operational conditions) that can be driven before recharging is necessary . For additional information, see “Driving range” in the “Instruments and controls” section.

Use a tire pressure gauge to check the tire pressure. • The CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning ap- pears on the vehicle information display when the low tire pressure warning light is illuminated and low tire pressure is detected. The CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning turns off when the low tire pressure warning light turns off.
Some devices and transmitters may temporarily interfere with the operation of the TPMS and cause the low tire pressure warning light to illu- minate. Some examples are: • Facilities or electric devices using similar radio frequencies that are near the vehicle.
– There is a malfunction in the horn or hazard indicators. – If the Easy Fill Tire Alert does not operate due to TPMS interference, move the vehicle about 3 ft (1 m) backward or forward and try again. If the Easy Fill Tire Alert is not working, use a tire pressure gauge.
Help prevent rapid air pressure loss by maintain- ing the correct air pressure and visually inspect the tires for wear and damage. See “Wheels and tires” in the “Maintenance and do-it-yourself” section of this manual.
WARNING Do not operate the power switch while driving the vehicle except in an emer- gency. (The EV system shuts down when the power switch is pushed 3 consecutive times or the power switch is pushed and held for more than 2 seconds.) If the EV system stops while the vehicle is being driven, this could lead to a crash and serious injury.
If the Intelligent Key is within the operating range, it is possible for anyone, even someone who does not carry the Intelligent Key , to push the power switch to start the EV (Electric V ehicle) system. • The cargo area is not included in the operating range but the Intelligent K ey may function.
ACC (Accessories) This position activates electrical accessories, such as the radio, when EV system is OFF . ON This position turns on the EV (Electric Vehicle) system and electrical accessories. READ Y (Normal operating position) This position turns on the EV (Electric Vehicle) system, electrical accessories and the vehicle can be driven.
4. Push the power switch while depressing the brake pedal within 10 seconds after the chime sounds. The power switch position changes to READ Y to drive mode. After step 3 is performed, if the power switch is pushed without depressing the brake pedal, the power switch position will change to ACC.
ELECTRIC SHIFT CONTROL S Y STEM This vehicle is electronically controlled to pro- duce maximum available power and smooth op- eration. The recommended operating procedures for this vehicle are shown on the following pages.
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. • Drive at a constant speed. Maintain cruising speeds with a constant accelerator positions or by using cruise control when appropriate.
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.
The V ehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system uses various sensors to monitor driver inputs and ve- hicle motion. Under certain driving conditions, the VDC system helps to perform the following functions.
handling performance, and the warning may flash or may il- luminate. • If brake related parts such as brake pads, rotors and calipers are not NISSAN recommended or are ex - tremely deteriorated, the VDC system may not operate properly and may illuminate.
The hill start assist system automatically keeps the brakes applied to help prevent the vehicle from rolling backwards in the time it takes the driver to release the brake pedal and apply the accelerator when the vehicle is stopped on a hill.
FREEING A FROZEN DOOR L OCK T o prevent a door lock from freezing, apply deicer through the key hole. If the lock becomes frozen, heat the key before inserting it into the key hole or use the remote keyless entry keyfob.
• Allow greater following distances on slippery roads. • Watch for slippery spots (glare ice) . These may appear on an otherwise clear road in shaded areas. If a patch of ice is seen ahead, brake before reach- ing it. T ry not to brake while on the ice, and avoid any sudden steering maneu- vers.
