COCKPIT
Instruments and controls2-3

When the low tire pressure warning light illumi-
nates, you should stop and adjust the tire pres-
sure to the recommended COLD tire pressure
shown on the Tire and Loading Information label.
The low tire pressure warning light does not
automatically turn off when the tire pressure is
adjusted. After the tire is inflated to the recom-
mended pressure, the vehicle must be driven at
speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h) to activate the
TPMS and turn off the low tire pressure warning
light. Use a tire pressure gauge to check the tire
pressure.
The CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning appears
each time the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position as long as the low tire pressure warning
light remains illuminated.
For additional information, see “Vehicle informa-
tion display” in the “Instruments and Controls”
section and “Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)” in the “Starting and driving” section and
“In case of emergency” section.
TPMS malfunction:
If the TPMS is not functioning properly, the low
tire pressure warning light will flash for approxi-
mately 1 minute when the power switch is placed
in the ON position. The light will remain on after
the 1 minute. Have the system checked by aNISSAN certified LEAF dealer. The CHECK TIRE
PRESSURE warning does not appear if the low
tire pressure warning light illuminates to indicate
a TPMS malfunction.
For additional information, see “Vehicle informa-
tion display” and “Tire Pressure Monitoring Sys-
tem (TPMS)” in the “Starting and driving” section.
WARNING
• Radio waves could adversely affect electric medical equipment. Those
who use a pacemaker should contact
the electric medical equipment manu-
facturer for the possible influences be-
fore use.
• If the light does not illuminate when the power switch is placed in the ON
position, have the vehicle checked by a
NISSAN certified LEAF dealer as soon
as possible.
• If the light illuminates while driving, avoid sudden steering maneuvers or
abrupt braking, reduce vehicle speed,
pull off the road to a safe location and
stop the vehicle as soon as possible.
Driving with under-inflated tires may
permanently damage the tires and in-
crease the likelihood of tire failure.
Serious vehicle damage could occur and may lead to an accident and could
result in serious personal injury. Check
the tire pressure for all four tires. Ad-
just the tire pressure to the recom-
mended COLD tire pressure shown on
the Tire and Loading Information label
to turn the low tire pressure warning
light OFF. If the light still illuminates
while driving after adjusting the tire
pressure, a tire may be flat. If you have
a flat tire, repair it as soon as possible.
• When a wheel is replaced, the TPMS will not function and the low tire pres-
sure warning light will flash for ap-
proximately 1 minute. The light will re-
main on after 1 minute. Contact your
NISSAN certified LEAF dealer as soon
as possible for tire replacement
and/or system resetting.
• Replacing tires with those not origi- nally specified by NISSAN could affect
the proper operation of the TPMS.
CAUTION
• The TPMS is not a substitute for the regular tire pressure check. Be sure to
check the tire pressure regularly.

• If the vehicle is being driven at speedsof less than 16 MPH (25 km/h) , the
TPMS may not operate correctly.
• Be sure to install the specified size of tires to the four wheels correctly.
Master warning light
(red/yellow)
There are two types of master warning lights:
yellow and red. These lights illuminate if any
warning lights or indicator lights are illuminated or
if various vehicle information warnings appear in
the vehicle information display.
Yellow master warning light:
The yellow master warning light is located on the
upper display.
This light illuminates when a yellow warning light
on the lower display is illuminated or when a
message is displayed on the vehicle information
display.
Red master warning light:
The red master warning light is located on the
upper display.
This light illuminates when a red warning light on
the lower display is illuminated or when a warning
is displayed on the vehicle information display.
Power steering warning light
When the power switch is in the ON position, the
electric power steering warning light illuminates
and turn off when the power switch is placed in
the READY to drive position. This indicates the
electric power steering system is operational.
If the electric power steering warning light illumi-
nates while the READY to drive indicator light is
ON, it may indicate the electric power steering
system is not functioning properly and may need
servicing. Have the electric power steering sys-
tem checked by a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer.
When the electric power steering warning light
illuminates while the READY to drive indicator is
ON, the power assist to the steering will cease
operation but you will still have control of the
vehicle. At this time, greater steering efforts are
required to operate the steering wheel, especially
in sharp turns and at low speeds.
See “Power steering system” in the “Starting and
driving” section.
Seat belt warning light
The light and chime remind you to fasten seat
belts. The light illuminates whenever the power switch is placed in the ON position, and will
remain illuminated until the driver’s seat belt is
fastened. At the same time, the chime will sound
for approximately 6 seconds unless the driver’s
seat belt is securely fastened.
The seat belt warning light for the front passenger
will illuminate if the seat belt is not fastened when
the front passenger’s seat is occupied. The front
passenger seat belt warning light does not acti-
vate until 5 seconds after the power switch is in
the ON position.
See “Seat belts” in the “Safety — Seats seat belts
and supplemental restraint system” section for
precautions on seat belt usage.
Supplemental air bag warning
light
After turning the power switch to the ON posi-
tion, the supplemental air bag warning light will
illuminate. The supplemental air bag warning light
will turn off after about 7 seconds if the supple-
mental front air bag and supplemental side air
bag, curtain side-impact air bag systems and/or
pretensioner seat belt are operational.
If any of the following conditions occur, the front
air bag, side air bag, curtain air bag and preten-
sioner systems need servicing and your vehicle

The heated steering wheel system is designed to
operate only when the surface temperature of the
steering wheel is below approximately 68°F
(20°C) .
Push the heated steering wheel switch to warm
the steering wheel when the power switch is in
the ON position. The indicator light
1on the
switch will illuminate.
If the surface temperature of the steering wheel is
below approximately 68°F (20°C) , the system will
heat the steering wheel and cycle off and on to
maintain a temperature above 68°F (20°C) . The indicator light will remain on as long as the sys-
tem is on.

NOTE:
•
If the surface temperature of the steering
wheel is above 68°F (20°C) when the
switch is turned on, the system will not
heat the steering wheel. This is not a
malfunction.
• If the outside temperature is low (approxi-
mately 50°F (10°C) or less) and the Climate
Ctrl. Timer or Remote Climate Control are
used, the steering wheel heater will auto-
matically operate in the following
conditions.
– When using the Climate Ctrl. Timer: Operates from approximately 15 min-
utes before the set departure time until
the set departure time.
– When using Remote Climate Control: Operates 15 minutes after Remote Cli-
mate Control starts. •
The heated steering wheel consumes less
power than the heater and can be used to
either help extend vehicle range by reduc-
ing heater use or to maximize comfort by
supplementing the heater.

climate control system automatically turns off
the heater or air conditioner and switches to the
air recirculation mode. Place the power switch
in the off position to begin charging. Turn on the
desired climate control function.
• The remote climate control or climate control timer may fog up windows depending on the set
temperature or outside temperature.
• When turning on the seat heater switch prior to operating the remote climate control or climate
control timer, the seat heater also will turn on.
The steering wheel heater will turn on automati-
cally when the outside temperature is low.
In-cabin microfilter:
The climate control system is equipped with an
in-cabin microfilter which collects dirt, pollen,
dust, etc. To make sure the air conditioner, heats,
defogs, and ventilates efficiently, replace the filter
regularly. To replace the filter, contact a NISSAN
certified LEAF dealer.
The filter should be replaced if the air flow
decreases significantly or if windows fog
up easily when operating the climate con-
trol system.
Servicing climate control
The climate control system in your NISSAN is
charged with a refrigerant designed with the en-
vironment in mind. This refrigerant will not harm
the earth’s ozone layer. Special charging equip-
ment and lubricant are required when servicing
your NISSAN climate control. Using improper
refrigerants or lubricants will cause severe dam-
age to your climate control system. See “Recom-
mended fluids/lubricants and capacities” in the
“Technical and consumer information” section for
climate control system refrigerant and lubricant
recommendations.
A NISSAN certified LEAF dealer will be able to
service your environmentally friendly climate con-
trol system.
