JUMP STARTING
To start your EV system with a booster bat-
tery, the instructions and precautions be-
low must be followed.
•
NISSAN recommends using only
Genuine NISSAN 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.
•
•
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.
Jump starting provides power to the 12-
volt system 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.
•
Whenever working on or near a 12-
volt battery, always wear suitable
eye protectors (for example, goggles
or industrial safety spectacles) and
remove rings, metal bands, or any
other jewelry. Do not lean over the
12-volt battery when jump starting.
WARNING
•
•
Do not attempt to jump start a frozen
battery. It could explode and cause
serious injury.

•
•
If done incorrectly, jump starting can
lead to a 12-volt battery explosion,
resulting in severe injury or death. It
could also damage your vehicle.
Your vehicle has an automatic cool-
ing fan. It could come on at any time.
Keep hands and other objects away
from it.
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.

•
Always follow the instructions below.
Failure to do so could result in dam-
age to the DC/DC converter and
cause personal injury.
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 anything,
immediately flush the contacted
area with water.
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 dam-
age the vehicle or charging equip-
ment and could cause an injury.
