NISSAN 2012 LEAF - Roadside Assistance Guide - Manual (Page 12)

3. Roadside Assistance Response Steps
• NEVER assume the LEAF is shut OFF simply because it is quiet.
• If the vehicle is damaged and you are not sure about the condition of the electric
vehicle system, contact first responders immediately. If the vehicle is damaged, the high
voltage system should be shut down by first responders while following the procedures in
the First Responders Guide and while wearing appropriate PPE.
• If the READY indicator, charging indicator or air conditioning remote timer
indicator are ON the high voltage system is active.
• If possible, be sure to verify that the READY indicator on the instrument cluster
is OFF and the high voltage system is stopped.
• Some of the under hood parts get hot and may cause serious burns. Use caution when
working on or around these parts.
3-1 Indications the High Voltage System is ON
1. If the READY indicator is ON, the high voltage system is active.
2. If the charge indicator is ON, the high voltage system is active.
3. If the air conditioning remote timer indicator (located on the HVAC controller) is ON, the high
voltage system is active.
4. If the remote controlled climate control system is active, push the power switch to the ON
position. This will turn OFF the remote controlled climate control system.
NOTE:
Remote controlled climate control system is a feature that allows the vehicle owner
to activate the climate control system via telematics communication (cell phone,
personal computer, etc.). When this system is active, the air conditioning remote
timer indicator (located on the HVAC controller) is illuminated.
Before disconnecting the 12V battery terminal, if necessary, set the parking brake, lower the windows,
unlock the doors, and open the rear hatch as required. Once 12V battery is disconnected, power controls
will not operate.
