PUSH STARTING
TOWING YOUR VEHICLE
Do not attempt to start the system by
pushing the vehicle.
When towing your vehicle, all State (Provin-
cial in Canada) and local regulations for
towing must be followed.
WARNING
If the vehicle is in the N (Neutral) posi-
tion and the Li-ion battery and the 12-
volt battery become completely dis-
charged, the vehicle cannot be placed
in the P (Park) position. If this occurs,
place suitable blocks at both the front
and back of a wheel to prevent the ve-
hicle from moving. Failure to block a
wheel may allow the vehicle to move
unexpectedly which may result in seri-
ous personal injury or death.
CAUTION
Incorrect towing equipment could dam-
age your vehicle. Towing instructions are
available from a NISSAN certified LEAF
dealer. Local service operators are familiar
with the applicable laws and procedures
for towing. To assure proper towing and to
prevent accidental damage to your vehicle,
NISSAN recommends that you have a ser-
vice operator tow your vehicle. It is advis-
able to have the service operator carefully
read the following precautions.
An EV cannot be push-started or tow-
started. Attempting to do so may cause
traction motor damage.
To place the vehicle in the READY to drive
position so the vehicle can be driven,
charge the Li-ion battery until the driving
range on the instrument panel changes
from “---” to a numeric distance.
WARNING
•
•
Never ride in a vehicle that is being
towed.
Never get under your vehicle after it
has been lifted by a tow truck.
NOTE:
• Some vibration may occur when the
vehicle is stopped in case the Li-ion
battery becomes completely dis-
charged. This is not the malfunction of
the system.
CAUTION
•
•
When towing, make sure that the ax-
les, steering system and power train
are in working condition. If any unit is
damaged, dollies must be used.
• If the Li-ion battery is completely dis-
charged, it is required to charge until
the low battery charge warning light
turns off (white) from on (yellow).
Always attach safety chains before
towing.
