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.

POWER METER
The Power Meter displays the traction motor power consumption and the regenerative brake
power applied to the Li-ion battery.
When the battery is charged, power is generated by the regenerative brake system and the central
dot moves to the left.
When the battery discharges and power is provided to the motor, the central dot moves to the right.
The number of circles will increase or decrease depending on the Li-ion b\
attery conditions. (Motor output is limited if the Li-ion battery temperature \
is too high or too
low or if the Li-ion battery level is low.)
For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)” of your Owner’s Manual.
ELECTRIC VEHICLE (EV) SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT
The warning light will illuminate if there is a malfunction in the following systems:
• T
raction motor and inverter system
• Charge port or on-board c
harger
• Li-ion battery system
• Cooling system
• Shift control system
• Emergency shut-off system is activated.
If the warning light illuminates, cont act a
NISSAN-certified LEAF dealer.
For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)” of your Owner’s Manual.
