NISSAN 2015 LEAF - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 323)

• Keep the 12-volt battery out of the
reach of children.
• The booster battery must be rated at
12 volt. Use of an improperly rated
battery can damage your vehicle.
• Whenever working on or near a 12-volt
battery, always wear suitable eye pro-
tectors (for example, goggles or indus-
trial safety spectacles) and remove
rings, metal bands, or any other jew-
elry. Do not lean over the 12-volt bat-
tery when jump starting.
• Do not attempt to jump start a frozen
battery. It could explode and cause se-
rious injury.
• Your vehicle has an automatic cooling
fan. It could come on at any time. Keep
hands and other objects away from it.
WARNING
• Always follow the instructions below.
Failure to do so could result in damage
to the DC/DC converter and cause per-
sonal injury.
CAUTION
• Do not attempt to perform a jump start
on the 12-volt battery at the same time
that
the Li-ion battery is being
charged. Doing so may damage the
vehicle or charging equipment and
could cause an injury.
• LEAF cannot be used as a booster ve-
hicle because it cannot supply enough
power to start a gasoline engine. How-
ever, a gasoline engine vehicle can be
used to jump start LEAF’s 12-volt bat-
tery.
