POWER LIMITATION INDICATOR LIGHT
When the power limitation indicator light illuminates, power provided to the traction motor is reduced.
This light illuminates in the following conditions:



•

T
he Li-ion battery available charge is
extremely low.



• T
he Li-ion battery temperature is very low.



•

T
he temperature of the Electric Vehicle (EV)
system is high (motor, inverter, coolant system, Li-ion battery, etc.).



• T
he EV system has a malfunction.
If the power limit ation indicator light is illuminated, follow the instructions provided o\
n
the Navigation display.
For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)” of your Owner’s Manual.
LI-ION BATTERY
TEMPERATURE GAUGE
The temperature of the Li-ion battery is in the normal range
1 when the display is within

this zone.
The temperature of the Li-ion battery varies with outside air temperature, road surface temperature,
driving conditions and charging rate.
To protect the battery, power is reduced when the temperature of the battery is too high or low. This does not indicate a malfunction.
For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)” of your Owner’s Manual.

LI-ION BATTERY GAUGES
The Li-ion Battery Available Charge Gauge 1
displays the approximate available Li-ion battery
power remaining to drive the vehicle. Recharge
the Li-ion battery before these lights reach the
bottom line.
The Li-ion Battery Capacity Level Gauge 2
indicates the amount of charge the Li-ion battery
is capable of storing.
The driving range 3 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.
For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)” of your Owner’s Manual.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)
WITH EASY FILL TIRE ALERT
A CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning message will appear in the vehicle information display
1 and the low tire pressure warning light
2
will illuminate when one or more tires are low in
pressure and air is needed.
When adding air to an under-inflated tire, the
TPMS with Easy Fill Tire Alert system provides visual and audible signals
to help you inflate the tires to the recommended COLD tire pressure.
To use the Easy Fill Tire Alert system: 1. Apply the parking brake and press the P (PARK) button on the shift lever.

2.


Place the power switc
h in the ON position. Do not place in the READY to drive mode.



3.

Add air to the underinflated tire, and within a few seconds the hazard\
warning lights

will flash.



4.

W
hen the designated tire pressure is reached, the horn will beep once and the
hazard warning message lights will stop flashing.



5.

Repeat this procedure for any additional underinflated tires.
After tire pressures are adjusted, drive the vehicle at speeds above 1 6 mph (25 km/h)
and the warning and indicator light will extinguish.
When the low tire pressure warning light flashes for approximately 1 minute and then remains on, the TPMS is not functioning properly. Have the system checked by a
NISSAN-certified LEAF dealer.
Tire pressure rises and falls depending on the heat caused by the vehicle\
’s operation and the outside temperature. Low outside temperature can lower the temperatu\
re of the
air inside the tire, which can cause a lower tire inflation pressure. This may cause the
low tire pressure warning light to illuminate. If the warning light illuminates, check the tire
pressure in your tires.
For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)” and the “Starting and driving (section
5)” of your Owner’s Manual.

various Settings modes.
This clock is linked to the GPS (if so equipped) through the center display clock.

W
ithout any adjustments, the correct time will be
displayed based on the vehicle’s current location.



•

T
here are also controls in the center display to
compensate for daylight savings time.
For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls
(section 2)” of your Owner’s Manual.
