CH-16 Charging
NOTE:
To stop charging mid-charge, remove the
charge connector. Charging automatically
stops.
HOW TO QUICK CHARGE (if so
equipped)
Quick charge uses public charging stations (up
to 50 kW of power) to charge the battery in a
short period of time.
WARNING
. Always use a quick charger that is
compatible with the LEAF. Using an
incompatible quick charger may
cause a fire or malfunction resulting
in serious personal injury or death.
. Before starting the quick charge,
carefully read the instructions pro-
vided on the quick charger and
make sure the quick charge con-
nector is properly connected and
locked. Failure to connector or op-
erate the quick charger correctly
could cause damage to the vehicle
or the charging equipment.
NOTE:
Quick charging is possible (even several
times a day) if the battery temperature is
not near the red zone. If the battery
temperature reaches the red zone, in order
to protect the battery, quick charging is not
allowed and the power limitation mode
will be triggered.
To start charging:
1. Push the P position switch to place the
vehicle in the P (Park) position and apply the
electric parking brake.
2. When charging the Li-ion battery, place the
power switch in the OFF position. When the
power switch is in the ON position, the Li-
ion battery will not start charging.
3. Open the charge port lid and charge port
cap. See “Charge port lid” and “Charge port
cap” in the “3. Pre-driving checks and
adjustments” section.
