Nissan X-Trail e-POWER 2023 Owners Manual
9.5. Jump starting
Incorrect jump starting can lead to a 12-volt battery explosion. The 12-volt battery explosion may result in severe injury or death. It may also result in damage to the vehicle. Be sure to follow the instructions in this section.
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 wear suitable eye protection and remove rings, bracelets, and any other jewellery whenever working on or near a 12-volt battery.
Never lean over the 12-volt battery while jump starting.
Never allow 12-volt battery fluid to come into contact with eyes, skin, clothes or the vehicle's painted surfaces. 12-volt battery fluid is a corrosive sulphuric acid which can cause severe burns. If the fluid comes into contact with anything, immediately flush the contacted area with plenty of water.
Keep the 12-volt battery out of the reach of children.
The booster 12-volt battery must be rated at 12 volts. Use of an incorrectly rated 12-volt battery will damage your vehicle.
Never attempt to jump start a frozen 12-volt battery. It could explode and cause serious injury.
If the booster 12-volt battery is in another vehicle (B), position the two vehicles (A) and (B) to bring the batteries into close proximity to each other.
Apply the parking brake.
Push the P position switch to engage the P (Park) position.
Switch off all unnecessary electrical systems (headlights, heater, air conditioner, etc.).
Place the power switch in the “OFF” position.
Remove the fuse box cover by pushing the tabs.
Open the inner cover.
Connect the jumper cables in the sequence as illustrated ((1), (2), (3), (4)).
Always connect positive ⊕ to positive ⊕ and negative ⊖ to body ground, NOT to the 12-volt battery's negative ⊖.
Be sure that the jumper cables do not touch moving parts in the engine compartment.
Be sure that the jumper cable's clamps do not contact any other metal.
Start the engine of the booster vehicle (B) and let it run for a few minutes.
Start the e-POWER system of the jumped vehicle (A) in the normal manner.
If the e-POWER system cannot be started, stop the engine of the booster vehicle and place the power switch in the “OFF” position. Then, once open and close the driver's side door, and keeping the door closed, wait for more than 3 minutes without any other operations (navigation, audio, door lock, etc.). After that, repeat the steps from 9.
After the e-POWER system is started, carefully disconnect the jumper cables in the opposite sequence from that illustrated ((4), (3), (2), (1)).
Close the inner cover and replace the fuse box cover.
Do not use this vehicle as a booster vehicle.
If the e-POWER system cannot be started, place the power switch in the “OFF” position and wait for more than 10 seconds, and then restart the e-POWER system.
If the 12-volt battery is discharged, the power switch cannot be placed in the ON or “OFF” position. Charge the 12-volt battery immediately.
