WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADES
JUMP STARTING
CLEANING
Pulling up the wiper arm
Jump starting provides power to the 12 volt sys-
tem to allow the electrical systems to operate.
The electrical systems must be operating 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.
If your windshield is not clear after using the
windshield washer or if a wiper blade chatters
when running, wax or other material may be on
the blade or windshield.
The wiper arm should be in the up position when
replacing the wiper.
Pull up the wiper arm manually or using the wiper
rise-up function.
Clean the outside of the windshield with a washer
solution or a mild detergent. Your windshield is
clean if beads do not form when rinsing with clear
water.
If jump starting is necessary, see “Jump starting”
in the “In case of emergency” section. If the
power switch does not switch to READY to drive
position by jump starting, the 12-volt battery may
have to be replaced. Contact a NISSAN certified
LEAF dealer.
Clean each blade by wiping it with a cloth soaked
in a washer solution or a mild detergent. Then
rinse the blade with clear water. If your windshield
is still not clear after cleaning the blades and
using the wiper, replace the blades.
CAUTION
Worn windshield wiper blades can dam-
age the windshield and impair driver vi-
sion.
REPLACING
Replace the wiper blades if they are worn.
