CLEANING

If your windshield is not clear after using

the windshield washer or if a wiper blade

chatters when running, wax or other mate-

rial may be on the blade or windshield.

For additional information, refer to “Jump

starting” in the “In case of emergency” sec-

tion of this manual. If the power switch

does not switch to the READY to drive posi-

tion by jump starting, the 12-volt battery

may have to be replaced. It is recom-

mended that you visit a NISSAN certified

LEAF dealer for this service.

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.

Clean each blade by wiping it with a cloth

soaked in a washer solution or a mild de-

tergent. Then rinse the blade with clear wa-

ter. If your windshield is still not clear after

cleaning the blades and using the wiper,

replace the blades.

CAUTION

Worn windshield wiper blades can

damage the windshield and impair

driver vision.

BRAKES

If the brakes do not operate properly, have

the brakes checked. It is recommended

that you visit a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer

for this service.

Under some driving or climate conditions,

occasional brake squeak, squeal or other

noise may be heard. Occasional brake

noise during light to moderate stops is nor-

mal and does not affect the function or

performance of the brake system.

REAR WINDOW WIPER BLADE

It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN

certified LEAF dealer if checking or replace-

ment is required.

WARNING

Proper brake inspection intervals should

be followed. For additional information, re-

fer to the maintenance log section of your

NISSAN Service and Maintenance Guide.

Do not adjust the height of the brake

pedal. Doing so could alter the effec-

tiveness of the brakes, which could re-

sult in a serious accident and personal

injury. If adjustment is required, it is

recommended that you visit a NISSAN

certified LEAF dealer for this service.

BRAKE PAD WEAR WARNING

The disc brake pads have audible wear

warnings. When a brake pad requires re-

placement, it will make a high pitched

scraping sound when the vehicle is in mo-

tion. This scraping sound will first occur

only when the brake pedal is depressed.

After more wear of the brake pad, the

sound will always be heard even if the

brake pedal is not depressed. Have the

brakes checked as soon as possible if the

wear warning sound is heard.
