2014–2026 Nissan Leaf FAQ
Does jump starting charge the LEAF's Li-ion battery?
2026
No. Jump starting powers the 12-volt system only; it does not charge the Li-ion battery, which must be charged before driving.
Page 520 in the 2026 manual →What should I do when Hold Key Near Start Button appears?
2026
The indicator means the key battery is low or communication is abnormal; touch the power switch with the key while depressing the brake pedal.
Page 200 in the 2026 manual →What should I do first if my LEAF has a flat tire?
2018–2025
- Move safely off the road and away from traffic, turn on the hazard flashers, park level, apply the parking brake, and select P (Park).
- Turn off the EV system, raise the hood, and have all passengers leave the vehicle and stand safely away from traffic.
- Do not repair a tire on a slope, ice, slippery surfaces, or near oncoming traffic; wait for professional road assistance instead.
- If possible, have the vehicle towed to a facility that can repair or replace the flat tire.
What does fog inside an exterior light lens mean?
2018–2025
Temporary fog from rain or a car wash is not a malfunction, but have a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer inspect large water drops inside the lens.
Page 543 in the 2025 manual →2014–2017
Pull the headlight lever toward you to flash the high beams, even when the headlight switch is OFF.
Page 184 in the 2017 manual →How should I replace a headlight bulb?
2018–2025
Have a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer replace the headlight bulb, whether the vehicle has LED or halogen headlights.
Page 543 in the 2025 manual →What must be set up before using remote functions?
2018–2025
Establish NissanConnect EV & Services or NissanConnect first; owner consent and an active subscription are required, and some functions need a compatible smartphone.
Page 100 in the 2025 manual →What does the LEAF driving-range estimate mean?
2018–2025
The driving-range display estimates distance before recharging, using available Li-ion battery charge and actual average power consumption.
After charging, it uses previous driving's average energy consumption, so the estimate can vary each time the vehicle is fully charged.
Page 186 in the 2025 manual →2014–2017
The driving range estimates how far you can drive before recharging, using available battery charge and average power consumption.
Page 147 in the 2017 manual →When should I rotate the tires?
What should I do if the low battery charge warning light comes on?
2014–2017
The Li-ion battery charge is too low for travel, so charge the battery as soon as possible.
Page 39 in the 2017 manual →What does a flashing tire pressure warning light mean?
2014–2017
If the low tire pressure warning light flashes for approximately 1 minute when the power switch is ON and then stays on, the TPMS is malfunctioning.
Have the TPMS checked by a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer.
Page 156 in the 2017 manual →What should I do when the driving range flashes or shows dashes?
2014–2017
If the range flashes or changes to "---" as the battery nears discharge, charge the Li-ion battery as soon as possible.
The original display returns after the Li-ion battery is charged.
