Normal charge stops in the
middle of charging.There is no power coming from the outlet. There may have been a electrical power failure, or the breaker may have failed. Charging will resume
when the power source is reset.
The charge cable has been disconnected. Check that the charge cable has not been disconnected.
The release switch has been pressed. If the charge connector button is pressed for a long period of time, charging will be stopped.
Both the normal charge connector and the quick
charge connector were connected at the same
time.If the normal charge connector and the quick charge connector are connected at the same time,
charging will be stopped.
Charging timer end time has been reached. When charging timer is set and the charge end time is reached, charging will be stopped, even if
the Li-ion battery is not fully charged.
The temperature of the Li-ion battery is too hot
or too cold to charge.Confirm the Li-ion battery temperature by checking the Li-ion battery temperature gauge. If the
gauge indicates the Li-ion battery is too hot (red zone) or too cold (blue zone) , charging is not pos-
sible. Allow the Li-ion battery to cool or warm up before charging. See “Li-ion battery temperature
gauge” in the “Instruments and controls” section.
Quick charge cannot be
performed.Incorrect charge connector connection, not fully
inserted or may not be locked.Check that the charge connector is connected correctly and that it is locked.
The self-diagnostic function of the quick charge
device returns a negative result.There is a possibility that the vehicle has a malfunction. Stop charging and contact a NISSAN certified
LEAF dealer.
The power switch of the quick charger is off. Check the power switch of the quick charger.
Quick charge stops in the
middle of chargingCharging is stopped by the quick charge timer.Charging will stop depending on the timer function setting of the quick charge device. If you need to
charge the Li-ion battery more, start the charging procedure again.
The maximum time for quick charge is 30–60 minutes. If you need to charge the Li-ion battery for longer
than this, start the charging procedure again.

the regenerative brake system (Li-ion battery
charging) .
The power meter also indicates if the power
provided to the motor is limited or if regenerative
braking is limited. When power or regenerative
braking is limited, the circles on the display
change from a double circle to a single circle
2.
Regenerative braking is automatically reduced
when the Li-ion battery is fully charged to prevent
the Li-ion battery from becoming overcharged.
Regenerative braking is also automatically re-
duced when the Li-ion battery temperature is
high/low (indicated by the red/blue zones on the
Li-ion battery temperature gauge) to prevent Li-
ion battery damage.
The more regenerative braking is reduced the
more double circles change to single circles
If the Li-ion battery charge is low, power provided
to the traction motor is reduced. Motor output is
also limited if the Li-ion battery temperature is
high/low (indicated by the red/blue zones on the
Li-ion battery temperature gauge) or the Li-ion
battery charge level is low.
The more power provided to the traction motor is
reduced the more double circles change to
single circles.
DRIVING RANGE
The driving range1(miles or km) provides an
estimated distance that the vehicle can be driven
before recharging is necessary. The driving range
is constantly being calculated, based on the
amount of available Li-ion battery charge and the
actual power consumption average.
NOTE:
•The driving range display will flash when
the low battery charge warning light illu-
minates. Additionally, if you continue to
drive the vehicle in this state and the Li-
ion battery is close to being completely
discharged, “---” will be displayed. Charge
the Li-ion battery as soon as possible.
When the Li-ion battery is charged, the
original display will be restored.
•After the vehicle is charged, the displayed
driving range is calculated based on the
actual average energy consumption of the
previous driving. The displayed driving
range will vary every time the vehicle is
fully charged.
•The driving range will increases or de-
creases when the air conditioner, heater
or Li-ion battery warmer is turned on or
off, or the vehicle is shifted between D
(Drive) and ECO, or when any other acces-
sory is turned on or off based on driving.

High beam indicator light
(blue)
This light illuminates when the headlight high
beam is on and goes out when the low beam is
selected.
Plug in indicator light
This light illuminates while charge connector is
connected to the vehicle and blinks during charg-
ing.
NOTE:
If the charge connector is connected to the
vehicle, the power switch can not be placed
in the READY to drive position.
Power limitation indicator light
When the power limitation indicator light is illu-
minated, the power provided to the traction motor
is reduced. Therefore the vehicle is not as re-
sponsive when the accelerator is depressed
while the power limitation light is illuminated.
When this light comes on, the warning display
appears on the navigation display and the vehicle
information display. Follow the instructions pro-
vided on the navigation display.This light illuminates in the following conditions.
• Li-ion battery available charge is extremely low
• Li-ion battery temperature is very low (approxi-
mately −4°F (−20°C)
• When the temperature of EV system is high
(motor, inverter, coolant system, Li-ion battery
etc.)
• When the EV system has a malfunction.
If the low battery charge warning light is illumi-
nated, charge the Li-ion battery as soon as pos-
sible.
If this indicator illuminates because the Li-ion
battery is cold due to low outside temperatures,
move the vehicle to a warmer location. The Li-ion
battery temperature may be increased by charg-
ing the Li-ion battery.
If the light illuminates when the EV system be-
comes hot due to continuous hill climbing either
continue driving at a slower safe speed, or stop
the vehicle in a safe location. If this indicator does
not turn off, contact a NISSAN certified dealer.
If the indicator illuminate when a part in the EV
system has malfunctioned. If the indicator illumi-
nates in a situation other than those described
above, or if it does not turn off, there may be asystem malfunction. Contact a NISSAN certified
LEAF dealer.
WARNING
Power limitation mode can result in re-
duced power and vehicle speed. The re-
duced speed may be lower than other
traffic, which could increase the chance
of a collision. Be especially careful when
driving. If the vehicle cannot maintain a
safe driving speed, pull to the side of the
road in a safe area. Charge the Li-ion
battery if the charge is low or allow the
Li-ion battery to cool.
READY to drive indicator light
The READY to drive indicator light illuminates
when the EV (Electric Vehicle) System is pow-
ered and the vehicle may be driven.
The READY to drive indicator light will turn off in
the following conditions.
• Certain EV (Electric Vehicle) system malfunc-
tions.
• The READY to drive indicator light turns off
immediately before the Li-ion battery is com-
pletely discharged If the Li-ion battery becomes
completely discharged, the vehicle must be
