4-5 Jacking Up the Vehicle and Changing a Tire

LEAF is not equipped with a jack or spare tire as standard equipment. However, the following jacking
instructions apply when using the optional NISSAN jack.

1. Place the jack directly under the jack-up point as

illustrated so the top of the jack contacts the vehicle
at the jack-up point. Align the jack head between the two
notches in the front or the rear as shown. Also fit the
groove of the jack head between the notches as shown.
The jack should be used on level firm ground.

2. Loosen each wheel nut one or two turns by turning it counterclockwise with the wheel nut

wrench. Do not remove the wheel nuts until the tire is off the ground.

3. To lift the vehicle, securely hold the jack lever and rod with both hands as shown. Carefully raise

the vehicle until the tire clears the ground. Remove the wheel nuts, and then remove the tire.
