CH-10 Charging
. The Genuine NISSAN charging equipment
communicates with the vehicle before Li-ion
battery charging starts. If this communica-
tion does not occur because other equip-
ment is used, the Li-ion battery will not
charge.
. NISSAN recommends that you connect the
normal charge cable when getting out of the
vehicle, even if it is not going to be used. By
doing this, you can get the most out of the
remote climate control and A/C-Heater
Timer (Climate Ctrl. Timer) functions the
next time you use the vehicle.
To start normal charge:
1. Push the P position switch to place the
vehicle in the P (Park) position and apply the
electric parking brake.
2. When charging the Li-ion battery, place the
power switch in the OFF position. When the
power switch is in the ON position, the Li-
ion battery will not start charging.
3. Open the charge port lid and charge port
cap. See “Charge port lid” and “Charge port
cap” in the “3. Pre-driving checks and
adjustments” section.
4. Connect the charge connector to the charge
port. If it is connected normally, a beep will
sound once.
5. If charging has started or if the battery is
waiting for charging timer, a beep will sound
twice and the charging status indicator light
display will change. See “Charging status
indicator lights” later in this section.
To stop normal charge:
1. Press the button on the charge connector,
release the lock and remove the charge
connector from the charge port and properly
store it.
2. After closing the charge port cap on the
charge port, close the charge port lid.
NOTE:
. To stop charging mid-charge, remove
the charge connector. Charging auto-
matically stops.
