Step by step.
- 01
Use the steering-wheel arrow controls and scroll dial to open Settings in the vehicle information display.
- 02
Select EV Settings, then select Chg. Connector Lock.
- 03
Choose Auto to lock only while charging, Lock to keep the connector locked until you change the setting, or Unlock to leave it unlocked.
- 04
To remove a locked connector, stop charging as required, lock and then unlock the doors, and disconnect within the approximately 30-second release window.
Important limits
- Auto releases the connector after charging stops; Lock does not release it until Unlock is selected or the door release procedure is used.
- Never force or twist a charging connector, and follow the charging-station instructions before disconnecting DC fast charging.
- Nissan's mechanical emergency-release procedure is a last resort; use the normal menu and door-release methods first.
Quick checks.
- ✓If the connector stays locked, lock and unlock the doors and try removal during the 30-second release period.
- ✓For a DC quick-charge connector, wait at least three minutes after charging ends before treating it as stuck.
- ✓If the normal release still fails, stop pulling on the connector and follow the manual's emergency-release directions or contact Nissan/charging-site support.
