2017 NISSAN LEAF ad blue

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 increases or decreases
when the air conditioner, heater or Li-ion
battery warmer (if so equipped) is turned
on or off, or when the ECO mode is se-
lected, or when any other accessory is
turned on or off based on driving.

INDICATOR LIGHTS
For additional information, refer to “Vehicle infor-
mation display” in this section.
ECO mode switch indicator light
This indicator illuminates within the vehicle infor-
mation display when the ECO mode has been
activated.
The ECO mode is used to help extend that range
that the vehicle can be driven by consuming less
power.
Exterior light indicator light
This indicator illuminates when the headlight
switch is turned to the AUTO,
or
position and the front parking lights, side marker
lights, tail and license plate lights are on. The
indicator turns off when these lights are turned
off.
Front fog light indicator light (if
so equipped)
The front fog indicator light illuminates when the
front fog lights are on. For additional information,
refer to “Fog light switch” in this section.
Front passenger air bag
status light
The front passenger air bag status light (located
on the center of the instrument panel) will be lit
and the passenger front air bag will be turned off
depending on how the front passenger seat is
being used.
For front passenger air bag status light operation,
refer to “NISSAN Advanced Air Bag System
(front seats)” in the “Safety — Seats, seat belts
and supplemental restraint system” section of
this manual.
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 when the charge connector
is connected to the vehicle and blinks during
charging.
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 center display and the vehicle
information display. Follow the instructions pro-
vided on the center 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 the 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.
2-20Instruments and controls

The autolight system can turn on the headlights
automatically when it is dark and turn off the
headlights when it is light.
For US models: The headlights will also be turned
on automatically at twilight or in rainy weather
(when the windshield wiper is operated continu-
ously) .
If the power switch is placed in the OFF position
and one of the doors is opened and this condition
continues, the headlights remain on for 45 sec-
onds.
Automatic headlights off delay:
You can keep the headlights on for up to 180
seconds after you push the power switch to OFF
and open any door then close all the doors.
You can adjust the period of the automatic head-
lights off delay from 0 seconds (OFF) to 180 sec-
onds. The factory default setting is 45 seconds.
For automatic headlights off delay setting, refer to
the LEAF Navigation System Owner’s Manual
(models with navigation system) .Be sure not to put anything on top of the
photo sensor
1located on the top of the
instrument panel. The photo sensor con-
trols the autolight; if it is covered, the photo
sensor reacts as if it is dark and the head-
lights will illuminate.Headlight beam select
1To select the low beam, have the lever in
the neutral position as shown and rotate
the switch to the desired position. For addi-
tional information, refer to “Headlight
switch” in this section.
2To select the high beam, push the lever
forward while the switch is in the
position. The high beams will come on and
the high beam indicator (blue)
will
illuminate. Pull it back to return to the low
beam.
