. NISSAN recommends using only
NISSAN Genuine Emergency Tire
Sealant provided with your vehicle.
Other tire sealants may damage the
valve stem seal which can cause the
tire to lose air pressure.
To start your EV system with a booster battery,
the instructions and precautions below must be
followed.
Jump starting provides power to the 12-volt
system to allow the electrical systems to
operate. The electrical systems must be operat-
ing to allow the Li-ion battery to be charged.
Jump starting does not charge the Li-ion battery.
The Li-ion battery must be charged before the
vehicle can be driven.
WARNING
. If done incorrectly, jump starting
can lead to a 12-volt battery explo-
sion, resulting in severe injury or
death. It could also damage your
vehicle.
. Explosive hydrogen gas is always
present in the vicinity of the 12-volt
battery. Keep all sparks and flames
away from the 12-volt battery.
. Do not allow battery fluid to come
into contact with eyes, skin, clothing
or painted surfaces. Battery fluid is
a corrosive sulfuric acid solution
that can cause severe burns. If the
fluid comes into contact with any-
thing, immediately flush the con-
tacted area with water.
. 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 protectors (for example, gog-
gles or industrial safety spectacles)
and remove rings, metal bands, or
any other jewelry. Do not lean over
the 12-volt battery when jump start-
ing.
. Do not attempt to jump start a
frozen battery. It could explode
and cause serious injury.
. Your vehicle has an automatic cool-
ing fan. It could come on at any
time. Keep hands and other objects
away from it.
