When you haven't enabled a charging timer, your Nissan Leaf is designed to begin charging automatically the moment you connect a normal or trickle charge connector to the vehicle's charge port. This ensures the most straightforward and rapid replenishment of your battery.

However, even if you have active charging timers set, you can override them and initiate an immediate charge whenever the need arises by following these simple steps:

1. Ensure the vehicle's power switch is placed in the OFF position.

2. Press the dedicated immediate charge switch.

3. Once the charging status indicator light on the dashboard updates to reflect that the system has entered immediate charge mode, connect your charging cable to the vehicle to begin the process.

NOTE:

• After pressing the immediate charge switch, you have a 15-minute window to connect your charging cable. If you do not plug in the vehicle within this timeframe, the system will revert to your previously saved timer settings.
• Should you wish to cancel an active immediate charge mode request, simply press the immediate charge switch a second time.
• If you disconnect the charge cable during an immediate charging session, the Nissan Leaf will automatically switch back to your stored charging timer settings. To restart an immediate charge, you must press the switch again and reconnect the cable.
• If the charge cable is already connected to your vehicle but charging is paused due to a timer, pressing the immediate charge switch will manually trigger the charging process to begin right away.
