AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM  
REFRIGERANT AND LUBRICANT  
RECOMMENDATIONS  
The air conditioning system in your NISSAN  
vehicle must be charged with the refriger-  
ant, HFC-134a (R-134a) and the oil, com-  
pressor oil ND-OIL11 or the equivalents.  
CAUTION  
The use of any other refrigerant or oil will  
cause severe damage to the air condi-  
tioning system and will require the re-  
placement of all air conditioner system  
components.  
The refrigerant, HFC-134a (R-134a), in your  
NISSAN vehicle will not harm the earth’s ozone  
layer. Although this refrigerant does not affect the  
earth’s atmosphere, certain governmental regu-  
lations require the recovery and recycling of any  
refrigerant during automotive air conditioning  
system service. A NISSAN certified LEAF dealer  
has the trained technicians and equipment  
needed to recover and recycle your air condition-  
ing system refrigerant.  
Contact a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer when  
servicing your air conditioning system.

VEHICLE LOADING INFORMATION  
WARNING  
• GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating) -  
maximum weight (load) limit specified  
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 Rat-  
ing) - The maximum total weight rating of  
the vehicle, passengers, cargo, and  
trailer.  
• Vehicle Capacity Weight, Load limit, To-  
tal load capacity - maximum total weight  
limit specified of the load (passengers  
and cargo) for the vehicle. This is the  
maximum combined weight of occu-  
pants 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.  
TERMS  
It is important to familiarize yourself with  
the following terms before loading your  
vehicle:  
• Curb Weight (actual weight of your ve-  
hicle) - vehicle weight including: stan-  
dard and optional equipment, fluids,  
emergency tools, and spare tire assem-  
bly. This weight does not include passen-  
gers and cargo.  
•
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.  
• GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) - curb  
weight plus the combined weight of pas-  
sengers and cargo.  
• GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) -  
maximum total combined weight of the  
unloaded vehicle, passengers, luggage,  
hitch, trailer tongue load and any other  
optional equipment. This information is  
located on the F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S.  
label.  
•
Be sure everyone in your vehicle  
is in a seat and using a seat belt  
properly.  
• Cargo capacity - permissible weight of  
cargo, the subtracted weight of occu-  
pants from the load limit.  
9-10 Technical and consumer information  
VEHICLE LOAD CAPACITY  
Do not exceed the load limit of your ve-  
hicle 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 Capacity” on the Tire and Load-  
ing Information label.  
To get “the combined weight of occu-  
pants and cargo”, add the weight of all  
occupants, then add the total luggage  
weight. Examples are shown in the follow-  
ing illustration.  
Steps for determining correct load  
limit  
1. Locate the statement “The combined  
weight of occupants and cargo should  
never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs” on  
your vehicle’s placard.  
2. Determine the combined weight of the  
driver and passengers that will be rid-  
ing 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 avail-  
able amount of cargo and luggage  
load capacity. For example, 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.  
Technical and consumer information 9-11  
(1400 − 750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs) or  
(640 − 340 (5 x 70) = 300 kg.)  
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.  
The child restraint top tether strap may  
be damaged by contact with items in  
the cargo area. Secure any items in the  
cargo area. Your child could be seri-  
ously injured or killed in a collision if  
the top tether strap is damaged.  
Do not load your vehicle any heavier  
than the GVWR or 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 control and cause personal  
injury.  
5. Determine the combined weight of  
luggage and cargo being loaded on  
the vehicle. That weight may not safely  
exceed the available cargo and lug-  
gage load capacity calculated in Step  
4.  
Before driving a loaded vehicle, confirm  
that you do not exceed the Gross Vehicle  
Weight Rating (GVWR) or the Gross Axle  
Weight Rating (GAWR) for your vehicle.  
(See ЉMeasurement of weightsЉ later in  
this section in this section.)  
SECURING THE LOAD  
There are tie down hooks located in the cargo  
area as shown. The tie down hooks can be used  
to secure cargo with ropes or other types of  
straps.  
Also check tires for proper inflation pres-  
sures. See the Tire and Loading Informa-  
tion label.  
Do not apply a total load of more than 4 lb  
(2 kg) to a single hook when securing  
cargo.  
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.  
9-12 Technical and consumer information  
• Do not load the front and rear axle to the  
GAWR. Doing so will exceed the  
GVWR.  
MEASUREMENT OF WEIGHTS  
•
Overloading not only can  
shorten the life of your vehicle  
and the tire, but can cause un-  
safe vehicle handling and longer  
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.  
Secure loose items to 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 Ve-  
hicle Weight Rating (GVWR). These rat-  
ings are given on the vehicle certification  
label. If weight ratings are exceeded,  
move or remove items to bring all weights  
below the ratings.  
WARNING  
•
Properly secure all cargo with  
ropes or straps to help prevent it  
from sliding or shifting. Do not  
place cargo higher than the seat-  
backs. In a sudden stop or colli-  
sion, unsecured cargo could  
cause personal injury.  
•
Do not load your vehicle any  
heavier than the GVWR or the  
maximum front and rear GAWRs.  
If you do, parts of your vehicle  
can break, tire damage could oc-  
cur, or it can change the way your  
vehicle handles. This could result  
in loss of control and cause per-  
sonal injury.  
Technical and consumer information 9-13  
TOWING A TRAILER  
Do not tow a trailer with your vehicle.  
FLAT TOWING  
UNIFORM TIRE QUALITY GRADING  
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.  
DOT (Department Of Transportation) Quality  
Grades: All passenger car tires must conform to  
federal safety requirements in addition to these  
grades.  
Quality grades can be found where applicable on  
the tire sidewall between tread shoulder and  
maximum section width. For example:  
CAUTION  
•
Failure to follow these guidelines can  
result in severe reduction gear dam-  
age.  
Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature A  
TREADWEAR  
•
•
DO NOT tow this vehicle with all four  
wheels on the ground (flat towing).  
For emergency towing procedures re-  
fer to “Towing your vehicle” in the “In  
case of emergency” section of this  
manual.  
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating  
based on the wear rate of the tire when tested  
under controlled conditions on a specified gov-  
ernment test course. For example, 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 however, 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  
9-14 Technical and consumer information  
REPORTING SAFETY DEFECTS  
For USA  
under controlled conditions on specified govern-  
ment test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire  
marked C may have poor traction performance.  
WARNING  
If you believe that your vehicle has a de-  
fect which could cause a crash or could  
cause injury or death, you should immedi-  
ately inform the National Highway Traffic  
Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addi-  
tion to notifying NISSAN.  
The temperature grade for this tire is es-  
tablished for a tire that is properly in-  
flated and not overloaded. Excessive  
speed, under-inflation, or excessive load-  
ing, either separately or in combination,  
can cause heat build-up and possible tire  
failure.  
WARNING  
The traction grade assigned to this tire is  
based on straight-ahead braking traction  
tests, and does not include acceleration,  
cornering, hydroplaning, or peak traction  
characteristics.  
If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it  
may open an investigation, and if it finds  
that a safety defect exists in a group of  
vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy  
campaign. However, NHTSA cannot be-  
come involved in individual problems be-  
tween you, your dealer, or NISSAN.  
TEMPERATURE A, B AND C  
The temperature grades A (the highest), B, and  
C, representing the tire’s resistance to the gen-  
eration of heat and its ability to dissipate heat  
when tested under controlled conditions on a  
specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained  
high temperature can cause the material of the  
tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and exces-  
sive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure.  
The grade C corresponds to a level of perfor-  
mance which all passenger car tires must meet  
under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard  
No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels  
of performance on the laboratory test wheel than  
the minimum required by law.

be reactivated later upon request if you choose.  
Simply visit the same website or call the number  
above. Alternatively, you can turn off the transmis-  
sion of certain categories of data through the use  
of settings found in the Navigation system under

Your agreement to the transmission and use of  
data by NISSAN can be provided in various ways.  
The vehicle is equipped with a “pop up” screen  
on the vehicle navigation system that will ask for  
your consent to this data transfer. A version of the  
following message will appear: “Pursuant to sub-  
scription agreement, your vehicle wirelessly  
transmits recorded vehicle data to NISSAN for  
various purposes, including CARWINGS™ ser-  
vices, product evaluation, research and develop-  
ment. By pressing OK, you consent to the trans-  
mission and use of your vehicle data. See  
Owner’s Manual or NISSAN Owner’s portal  
webpage for terms and details.”If you press [OK],  
your vehicle will transmit data as designed in  
connection with the vehicle telematics system. If  
you press [Decline] your vehicle will not transmit  
data. However, the telematics features refer-  
enced above, and perhaps others, will not be  
available to you. The vehicle’s static navigation  
system will remain operational, and you will be  
able to access your radio and climate controls.  
State laws allow access and use of data re-  
corded by vehicle devices with the consent of the  
vehicle owner or pursuant to subscription agree-  
ment. While you are not required to allow such  
access and use, if you do not so agree NISSAN  
may be unable under applicable law to activate  
the vehicle telematics system in your vehicle, and  
certain features of your vehicle which are depen-  
dent on vehicle telematics will not operate as  
intended or designed. These may include fea-  
tures such as automatic charging station map  
updates, remote battery state of charge check,  
charging complete notice, remote plug in re-  
minder, remote charging on, remote climate con-  
trol on, drive route planning, driving tips to im-  
prove range, driving history, billing simulation,  
ECO ranking, ECO forest, maintenance remind-

interruption of data transmission and, as a result,  
certain features may be temporarily unavailable.  
Even if areas with good signal reception, cellular  
connectivity can be adversely affected by things  
such as tall buildings, apartments, tunnels, un-  
derground parking, mountainous areas, etc. Even  
if the signal strength bar of the in-vehicle data  
communication module indicates good recep-  
tion, connectivity may be disrupted. This does not  
indicate a malfunction. Operate the system again  
after a few minutes to restore connectivity. CAR-  
WINGS™ telematics features are offered as a  
convenience to the vehicle owner. NISSAN is not  
responsible for, and owner assumes all risk of,  
interruptions in service or errors based on incom-  
plete or inaccurate data. CARWINGS™ commu-  
nications may be received at a verified e-mail

may apply depending on your carrier.  
If your vehicle’s telematics account is active, and  
you are not the original owner, please contact  
NISSAN at the website or phone number above  
as soon as possible to update the telematics  
enrollment information. Upon sale of the vehicle,  
please contact NISSAN at the website or phone  
number above so that NISSAN’s records may be  
updated. CARWINGS™ subscription services  
will automatically terminate at the end of the initial  
free term if you do not wish to renew your sub-  
scription agreement at the prices then in effect.  
This vehicle is equipped with an Event Data Re-  
corder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is to  
record, in certain crash or near crash-like situa-  
tions, such as an air bag deployment or hitting a  
road obstacle, data that will assist in understand-  
ing how a vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR  
is designed to record data related to vehicle  
dynamics and safety systems for a short period of  
time, typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this  
vehicle is designed to record such data as:  
• How various systems in your vehicle were  
operating;  
• Whether or not the driver and passenger safety  
belts were buckled/fastened;  
• How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the  
accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,  
• How fast the vehicle was traveling.  
• Sounds are not recorded.  
These data can help provide a better understand-  
ing of the circumstances in which crashes and  
injuries occur.

OWNER’S MANUAL/SERVICE  
MANUAL ORDER INFORMATION  
Genuine NISSAN Service Manuals for this model  
year and prior can be purchased. A genuine  
NISSAN Service Manual is the best source of  
service and repair information for your vehicle.  
This manual is the same one used by the factory  
trained technicians working at a NISSAN certi-  
fied LEAF dealer. Genuine NISSAN Owner’s  
Manuals can also be purchased.  
NOTE:  
EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only  
if a nontrivial crash situation occurs; no  
data are recorded by the EDR under normal  
driving conditions and no personal data  
(for example, name, gender, age and crash  
location) are recorded. However, other par-  
ties, such as law enforcement, could com-  
bine the EDR data with the type of person-  
ally identifying data routinely acquired  
during a crash investigation.  
To read data recorded by an EDR, special  
equipment is required and access to the  
vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition  
to the vehicle manufacturer and NISSAN  
certified LEAF dealer, other parties, such  
as law enforcement, that have the special  
equipment, can read the information if  
they have access to the vehicle or the  
EDR. EDR data will only be accessed with  
the consent of the vehicle owner or lessee  
or as otherwise required or permitted by  
law.
