Nissan Leaf (2024 year). Manual in english

Summer tires

NISSAN specifies summer tires on some
models to provide superior performance
on dry roads. Summer tire performance
is substantially reduced in snow and ice.
Summer tires do not have the tire traction
rating M&S on the tire sidewall.

If you plan to operate your vehicle in snowy
or icy conditions, NISSAN recommends the
use of SNOW tires or ALL SEASON tires on all
four wheels.

Snow tires

If snow tires are needed, it is necessary to
select tires equivalent in size and load rat-
ing to the original equipment tires. If you do
not, it can adversely affect the safety and
handling of your vehicle.

Generally, snow tires will have lower speed
ratings than factory equipped tires and
may not match the potential maximum
vehicle speed. Never exceed the maximum
speed rating of the tire.

If you install snow tires, they must be the
same size, brand, construction and tread
pattern on all four wheels.

For additional traction on icy roads, stud-
ded tires may be used. However, some
U.S. states and Canadian provinces pro-
hibit their use. Check local, state and pro-
vincial laws before installing studded tires.
Skid and traction capabilities of studded
snow tires, on wet or dry surfaces, may be
poorer than that of non-studded snow
tires.

TIRE CHAINS

Use of tire chains may be prohibited ac-
cording to location. Check the local laws
before installing tire chains. When installing
tire chains, make sure they are the proper
size for the tires on your vehicle and are
installed according to the chain manufac-
turer’s suggestions.

Use only SAE Class S chains.

Class “S”

chains are used on vehicles with restricted
tire to vehicle clearance. Vehicles that can
use Class “S” chains are designed to meet
the SAE standard minimum clearances
between the tire and the closest vehicle
suspension or body component required
to accommodate the use of a winter trac-
tion device (tire chains or cables). The mini-
mum clearances are determined using the
factory equipped tire size. Other types may
damage your vehicle.

Use chain tensioners when recommended
by the tire chain manufacturer to ensure a
tight fit. Loose end links of the tire chain
must be secured or removed to prevent
the possibility of whipping action damage
to the fenders or underbody. If possible,
avoid fully loading your vehicle when using
tire chains. In addition, drive at a reduced
speed. Otherwise, your vehicle may be
damaged and/or vehicle handling and
performance may be adversely affected.

Tire chains must be installed only on the
front wheels and not on the rear wheels.

Do not use tire chains on dry roads. Driving
with tire chains in such conditions can
cause damage to the various mechanisms
of the vehicle due to some overstress.

CHANGING WHEELS AND TIRES

Tire rotation

NISSAN recommends rotating the
tires every 7,500 miles (12,000 km).

As soon as possible, tighten the
wheel nuts to the specified torque
using a torque wrench.

Wheel nut tightening torque:

90 ft-lb (122 N·m)

The wheel nuts must be kept
tightened to the specification at
all times. It is recommended that
wheel nuts be tightened to the
specification at each tire rotation
interval.

WARNING

•

After rotating the tires, check
and adjust the tire pressure.

•

Retighten the wheel nuts when
the vehicle has been driven for
600 miles (1,000 km) (also in
cases of a flat tire, etc.).

•

For additional information re-
garding tires, refer to “Impor-
tant Tire Safety Information”
(US) or “Tire Safety Information”
(Canada) in the Warranty Infor-
mation Booklet.

cracks, bulging or deep cuts
are found, the tire(s) should be
replaced.

•

The original tires have built-in
tread wear indicators. When
wear indicators are visible, the
tire(s) should be replaced.

•

Tires degrade with age and
use. Have tires, over 6 years old
checked by a qualified techni-
cian, because some tire dam-
age may not be obvious. Re-
place the tires as necessary to
prevent tire failure and pos-
sible personal injury.

•

For additional information re-
garding tires, refer to “Impor-
tant Tire Safety Information”
(US) or “Tire Safety Information”
(Canada) in the Warranty Infor-
mation Booklet.

Replacing wheels and tires

When replacing a tire, use the same size,
tread design, speed rating and load carry-
ing capacity as originally equipped. For ad-
ditional information, see “Wheels and tires”
(P. 10-5) for recommended types and sizes
of tires and wheels.

WARNING

•

The use of tires other than those
recommended or the mixed use of
tires of different brands, construc-
tion (bias, bias-belted or radial), or
tread patterns can adversely affect
the ride, braking, handling, Vehicle
Dynamic Control (VDC) system, ground
clearance, body-to-tire clearance, tire
chain clearance, speedometer calibra-

tion,

headlight

aim

and

bumper

height. Some of these effects may
lead to accidents and could result in
serious personal injury.

•

your

vehicle

was

originally

equipped with four tires that were
the same size and you are only re-
placing two of the four tires, install
the new tires on the rear axle. Placing

new tires on the front axle may cause
loss of vehicle control in some driving
conditions and cause an accident
and personal injury.

•

If the wheels are changed for any
reason, always replace with wheels
which have the same off-set dimen-
sion. Wheels of a different off-set
could cause premature tire wear,
degrade vehicle handling character-
istics, affect the VDC system and/or
interference with the brake discs.
Such interference can lead to de-
creased braking efficiency and/or
early brake pad/shoe wear. For addi-
tional information on wheel-off set
dimensions, see “Wheels and tires”
(P. 10-5).

•

When using a wheel without the
TPMS such as the spare tire, the TPMS
will not function when a wheel is
replaced, the TPMS will not function
and the low tire pressure warning
light will flash for approximately 1
minute. The light will remain on after
1 minute. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer
for this service.

8-36

Do-it yourself

•

Replacing tires with those not origi-
nally specified by NISSAN could affect
the proper operation of the TPMS.

•

The TPMS sensor may be damaged if
it is not handled correctly. Be careful
when handling the TPMS sensor.

•

When replacing the TPMS sensor,
the ID registration may be required.
It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN certified LEAF dealer for ID
registration.

•

Do not use a valve stem cap that is
not specified by NISSAN. The valve
stem cap may become stuck.

•

Be sure that the valve stem caps are
correctly fitted. Otherwise the valve
may be clogged up with dirt and cause
a malfunction or loss of pressure.

•

Do not install a damaged or de-
formed wheel or tire even if it has
been repaired. Such wheels or tires
could have structural damage and
could fail without warning.

•

The use of retread tire is not recom-
mended.

•

For additional information regarding
tires, refer to “Important Tire Safety
Information” (US) or “Tire Safety In-
formation” (Canada) in the Warranty
Information Booklet.

Wheel balance

Unbalanced wheels may affect vehicle
handling and tire life. Even with regular use,
wheels can get out of balance. Therefore,
they should be balanced as required.

Wheel balance service should be per-
formed with the wheels off the vehicle.
Spin balancing the wheels on the vehicle
could lead to mechanical damage.

For additional information regarding tires,
refer to “Important Tire Safety Information”
(US) or “Tire Safety Information” (Canada) in
the Warranty Information Booklet.

Care of wheels

For additional information on care of wheels,
see “Cleaning exterior” (P. 7-2).

EMERGENCY TIRE PUNCTURE
REPAIR KIT

The emergency tire puncture repair kit
(Emergency Tire Sealant) is supplied with
the vehicle instead of a spare tire. It can
be used to temporarily repair minor tire
punctures.

If possible, have the vehicle towed to a
facility that can repair or replace the flat
tire. Using the emergency tire puncture
repair kit may cause a malfunction of the
tire pressure sensor and cause the low tire
pressure warning light to illuminate.

For additional information, see “Flat tire”
(P. 6-3).

Do-it yourself

8-37

Some day-to-day and regular maintenance
is essential to maintain your vehicle good
mechanical condition, and its Electric Ve-
hicle (EV) system performance.

It is the owner's responsibility to make sure
that the scheduled maintenance, and gen-
eral maintenance, is performed.

As the vehicle owner, you are the only one
who can ensure that your vehicle receives
proper maintenance. You are a vital link in
the maintenance chain.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

General maintenance includes those items
which should be checked during normal
day-to-day operation. They are essential
for proper vehicle operation. It is your re-
sponsibility to perform these procedures
regularly as prescribed.

Performing general maintenance checks
requires minimal mechanical skill and only
a few general automotive tools.

These checks or inspections can be done
by yourself, a qualified technician or, if you

that the wipers and washer operate prop-
erly and that the wipers do not streak.

Under the hood and vehicle

The maintenance items listed here should
be checked periodically.

12–volt battery (except for maintenance
free batteries)*:

Check the fluid level in

each cell. The fluid should be at the bottom
of the filler opening. Vehicles operated in
high temperatures or under severe condi-
tions require frequent checks of the 12–volt
battery fluid level.

NOTE:

Care should be taken to avoid situations
that can lead to potential battery dis-
charge and potential no-start conditions
such as:
1. Installation or extended use of elec-

tronic accessories that consume bat-
tery power when the EV system is not
running (Phone chargers, GPS, DVD
players, etc.)

2. Vehicle is not driven regularly and/or

only driven short distances.

In these cases, the battery may need to
be charged to maintain battery health

Brake fluid level*:

Make sure that the brake

fluid levels are between the MAX and MIN
lines on the reservoir.

Coolant level*:

Check the coolant level

when the high voltage parts are cold. Make
sure that the coolant level is between the
MAX and MIN lines on the reservoir.

Fluid leaks:

Check under the vehicle for

water or other fluid leaks after the vehicle
has been parked for a while. Water dripping
from the air conditioner after use is normal.
If you should notice any leaks, check for
cause and have it corrected immediately.

Maintenance and schedules

Radiator and hoses:

Check the front of the

radiator and clean off any dirt, insects,
leaves, etc., that may have accumulated.
Make sure the hoses have no cracks, defor-
mation, rot or loose connections.

Underbody:

The underbody is frequently

exposed to corrosive substances such as
those used on icy roads or to control dust.
It is very important to remove these sub-
stances, otherwise rust will form on the
floor pan and frame. At the end of winter,
the

underbody

should

thoroughly

flushed with plain water, being careful to
clean those areas where mud and dirt may
accumulate. For additional information,
see “Cleaning exterior” (P. 7-2).

Windshield-washer fluid*:

Check that

there is an adequate amount of fluid in the
reservoir.

The following descriptions are provided
to give you a better understanding of the
scheduled maintenance items that should
be regularly checked or replaced. The
maintenance schedule indicates at which
mileage/time intervals each item requires
service.

In addition to scheduled maintenance,
your vehicle requires that some items be
checked during normal day-to-day opera-
tion. For additional information, see “Gen-
eral maintenance” (P. 9-2).

Items marked with

“*”

are recommended

by NISSAN for reliable vehicle operation.

You are not required to perform mainte-
nance on these items in order to maintain
the warranties which come with your
NISSAN. Other maintenance items and in-
tervals are required.

When applicable, additional information
can be found in the “Do-it-yourself ” section
of this manual.

EXPLANATION OF SCHEDULED
MAINTENANCE ITEMS

tion, dust, sand etc.

Charging Port Sealing Cap*:

Use only

compressed air with proper eye protection
to clean any contamination from the seal-
ing cap.

Coolant:

Replace coolant at the interval

specified below. When adding or replacing
coolant, be sure to use only Genuine
NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (Blue)
or equivalent with the proper mixture. (Re-
fer to the Owner’s Manual to determine the
proper mixture for your area.) The recom-
mended service interval of the factory fill
coolant is 125,000 miles (200,000 km) or 15
years, whichever comes first. Subsequent
replacement of Genuine NISSAN Long Life
Antifreeze/Coolant (Blue) should occur ev-
ery 75,000 miles (120,000 km) or 5 years,
whichever comes first.

NOTE:

Mixing any other type of coolant or the
use of nondistilled water will reduce the
recommended service interval of the
coolant.

To help ensure smooth, safe and economi-
cal driving, NISSAN provides two mainte-
nance schedules that may be used, de-
pending upon the conditions in which you
usually drive. These schedules contain
both distance and time intervals, up to
120,000 miles (192,000 km)/96 months. For
most people, the odometer reading will
indicate when service is needed. However,
if you drive very little, your vehicle should
be serviced at the regular time intervals
shown in the schedule.

After 120,000 miles (192,000 km)/96
months, continue maintenance at the
same mileage/time intervals.

ADDITIONAL MAINTENANCE
ITEMS FOR SEVERE OPERATING
CONDITIONS

Additional maintenance items for severe
operating conditions

should be per-

formed on vehicles that are driven under
especially demanding conditions. Addi-
tional maintenance items should be per-
formed if you primarily operate your vehicle
under the following conditions:
• Repeated short trips of less than 5 miles

(8 km).

• Repeated short trips of less than 10 miles

(16 km) with outside temperatures re-
maining below freezing.

• Operating in hot weather in stop-and-go

“rush hour” traffic.

• Extensive idling and/or low speed driving

for long distances, such as police, taxi or
door-to-door delivery use.

• Driving in dusty conditions.

AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM
REFRIGERANT AND LUBRICANT
RECOMMENDATIONS

The air conditioning system in your
NISSAN vehicle must be charged with the
refrigerant, HFO-1234yf (R-1234yf), and
the compressor oil, ND-OIL11 or equivalent.

CAUTION

The use of any other refrigerant or oil
will cause severe damage to the air
conditioning system and will require
the replacement of all air conditioner
system components.

The refrigerant, HFO-1234yf (R-1234yf), in
your NISSAN vehicle will not harm the
earth’s ozone layer. Although this refriger-
ant does not affect the earth’s atmo-
sphere, certain governmental regulations
require the recovery and recycling of any
refrigerant during automotive air condi-
tioning system service. Air conditioner sys-
tem should only be serviced by trained and
certified technicians to ensure proper and
safe operation (SAE J2845). A NISSAN certi-
fied LEAF dealer has the trained techni-
cians and equipment needed to recover

and recycle your air conditioning system
refrigerant. Only new and SAE J2842 certi-
fied evaporator(s) or inner condenser (if so
equipped) shall be used as replacement
parts.

A damaged or leaking air conditioning
evaporator or inner condenser (if so
equipped) shall never be repaired or re-
placed with one removed from a used or
salvaged vehicle. To replace a damaged
or leaking evaporator or inner condenser
(if so equipped), use only new and SAE
J2842 certified evaporator(s). It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN certified
LEAF dealer when servicing your air condi-
tioner system.

WARNING

•

It is extremely dangerous to ride
in the cargo area inside the ve-
hicle. In a collision, people riding
in these areas are more likely to
be seriously injured or killed.

•

Do not allow people to ride in
any area of your vehicle that is
not equipped with seats and
seat belts.

•

Be sure everyone in your vehicle
is in a seat and using a seat belt
properly.

TERMS

It is important to familiarize yourself
with the following terms before load-
ing your vehicle:

• Curb Weight (actual weight of your

vehicle) - vehicle weight including:
standard and optional equipment,
fluids and emergency tools. This
weight

does not

include passen-

gers and cargo.

• GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) - curb

weight plus the combined weight
of passengers and cargo.

• GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rat-

ing) - maximum total combined
weight of the unloaded vehicle,
passengers, cargo, hitch, trailer
tongue load and any other op-
tional equipment. This information
is located on the F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S.
label.

• GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating) -

maximum weight (load) limit spe-
cified for the front or rear axle.
This information is located on the
F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. label.

• GCWR (Gross Combined Weight

Rating) - The maximum total weight
rating of the vehicle, passengers,
cargo, and trailer.

• Vehicle Capacity Weight, Load limit,

Total load capacity - maximum
total weight limit specified of the
load (passengers and cargo) for
the vehicle. This is the maximum
combined weight of occupants
and cargo that can be loaded into
the vehicle. If the vehicle is used to
tow a trailer, the trailer tongue
weight must be included as part of
the cargo load. This information is
located on the Tire and Loading
Information label.

• Cargo capacity - permissible weight

of cargo, the subtracted weight of
occupants from the load limit.

VEHICLE LOADING INFORMATION

Technical and consumer information

10-11

VEHICLE LOAD CAPACITY

Before driving a loaded vehicle, con-
firm that you do not exceed the
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)
or the Gross Axle Weight Rating
(GAWR) for your vehicle. Both the
GVWR and GAWR are located on the
F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. certification label.
For additional information, see “Mea-
surement of weights” (P. 10-14).

Do not exceed the load limit of your
vehicle shown as “The combined
weight of occupants and cargo” on
the Tire and Loading Information
label. Do not exceed the number of
occupants shown as “Seating Ca-
pacity” on the Tire and Loading Infor-
mation label.

To get “the combined weight of oc-
cupants and cargo”, add the weight
of all occupants, then add the total
cargo weight. Examples are shown
in the following illustration.

Steps For Determining Correct
Load Limit

1. Locate the statement “The com-

bined weight of occupants and
cargo should never exceed XXX kg
or XXX lbs.” on your vehicle’s placard.

LTI2366

10-12

Technical and consumer information

2. Determine the combined weight

of the driver and passengers that
will be riding in your vehicle.

3. Subtract the combined weight of

the driver and passengers from
XXX kg or XXX lbs.

4. The resulting figure equals the

available amount of cargo and
luggage load capacity. For ex-
ample, if the “XXX” amount equals
1400 lbs. and there will be five
150 lb. passengers in your vehicle,
the amount of available cargo
and luggage load capacity is 650
lbs. (1400 − 750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs.)

5. Determine the combined weight

luggage

and

cargo

being

loaded on the vehicle. That weight
may not safely exceed the avail-
able cargo and luggage load ca-
pacity calculated in Step 4.

6. If your vehicle will be towing a

trailer, load from your trailer will be
transferred to your vehicle. Con-
sult this manual to determine
how this reduces the available
cargo and luggage load capacity
of your vehicle.

Towing a trailer with a vehicle that is
not intended for towing may result in
an accident involving injury or death.

WARNING

Do not tow a trailer with your vehicle.
Towing a trailer may result in an acci-
dent involving injury or death.

Before driving a loaded vehicle, con-
firm that you do not exceed the
(GVWR) or the (GAWR) for your ve-
hicle. For additional information, see
“Measurement of weights” (P. 10-14).

Also check tires for proper inflation
pressures. For additional informa-
tion, see “Tire and Loading Informa-
tion label” (P. 10-9).

LOADING TIPS

• The GVW must not exceed the

GVWR or GAWR as specified on the
F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. certification label.

• Do not load the front and rear axle

to the GAWR. Doing so will exceed
the GVWR.

WARNING

•

Properly secure all cargo with
ropes or straps to help prevent
it from sliding or shifting. Do
not place cargo higher than
the seatbacks. In a sudden stop
or collision, unsecured cargo
could cause personal injury.

Technical and consumer information

10-13

•

Do not load your vehicle any
heavier

than

the

GVWR

the maximum front and rear
GAWRs. If you do, parts of your
vehicle can break, tire damage
could occur, or it can change
the way your vehicle handles.
This could result in loss of con-
trol and cause personal injury.

•

Overloading

not

only

can

shorten the life of your vehicle
and the tire, but can cause un-
safe vehicle handling and lon-
ger braking distances. This may
cause a premature tire failure,
which could result in a serious
accident and personal injury.
Failures caused by overloading
are not covered by the vehicle’s
warranty.

MEASUREMENT OF WEIGHTS

Secure

loose

items

prevent

weight shifts that could affect the
balance of your vehicle. When the
vehicle is loaded, drive to a scale and
weigh the front and the rear wheels
separately to determine axle loads.
Individual axle loads should not ex-
ceed either of the Gross Axle Weight
Ratings (GAWR). The total of the axle
loads should not exceed the Gross
Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). These
ratings are given on the vehicle cer-
tification label. If weight ratings are
exceeded, move or remove items to
bring all weights below the ratings.

Do not tow a trailer with your vehicle.

TOWING A TRAILER

10-14

Technical and consumer information

Towing your vehicle with all four wheels on
the ground is sometimes called flat towing.
This method is typically used when towing
a vehicle behind a recreational vehicle,
such as a motor home.

CAUTION

•

Failure to follow these guidelines can
result in severe reduction gear dam-
age.

•

DO NOT tow this vehicle with all four
wheels on the ground (flat towing).

•

For emergency towing procedures
see “Towing your vehicle” (P. 6-13).

NOTE:

If the Li-ion battery becomes completely
discharged:
• The vehicle is automatically placed in

the ON position and it will not be pos-
sible to switch to the READY to drive
position.

• The vehicle is automatically switched

to the N (Neutral) position and it will not
be possible to drive the vehicle.

For additional information, see “If the
Li-ion battery becomes completely dis-
charged” (P. 6-12).

DOT (Department Of Transportation) Qual-
ity Grades: All passenger car tires must
conform to federal safety requirements in
addition to these grades.

Quality grades can be found where appli-
cable on the tire sidewall between tread
shoulder and maximum section width. For
example:

Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature A

TREADWEAR

The treadwear grade is a comparative rat-
ing based on the wear rate of the tire when
tested under controlled conditions on a
specified government test course. For ex-
ample, a tire graded 150 would wear one
and one-half (1 1/2) times as well on the
government course as a tire graded 100.
The relative performance of tires depends
upon actual conditions of their use how-
ever, and may depart significantly from the
norm due to variations in driving habits,
service practices and differences in road
characteristics and climate.

TRACTION AA, A, B AND C

The traction grades, from highest to lowest,
are AA, A, B and C. Those grades represent
the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as

measured under controlled conditions on
specified government test surfaces of as-
phalt and concrete. A tire marked C may
have poor traction performance.

WARNING

The traction grade assigned to this tire
is based on straight-ahead braking
traction tests, and does not include ac-
celeration, cornering, hydroplaning, or
peak traction characteristics.

TEMPERATURE A, B AND C

The temperature grades A (the highest), B,
and C, representing the tire’s resistance to
the generation of heat and its ability to dis-
sipate heat when tested under controlled
conditions on a specified indoor laboratory
test wheel. Sustained high temperature
can cause the material of the tire to degen-
erate and reduce tire life, and excessive
temperature can lead to sudden tire failure.
The grade C corresponds to a level of per-
formance which all passenger car tires
must meet under the Federal Motor Safety
Standard No. 109. Grades B and A represent
higher levels of performance on the labo-
ratory test wheel than the minimum re-
quired by law.

FLAT TOWING

UNIFORM TIRE QUALITY GRADING

Technical and consumer information

WARNING

The temperature grade for this tire is
established for a tire that is properly
inflated and not overloaded. Excessive
speed, under-inflation, or excessive
loading, either separately or in combi-
nation, can cause heat build-up and
possible tire failure.
