SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG
WARNING LIGHT
The supplemental air bag warning light, display-
ing
in the instrument panel, monitors the
circuits of the Air bag Control Unit (ACU) , satel-
lite sensors, crash zone sensor, occupant classi-
fication sensor, the supplemental front-impact air
bag, front seat-mounted side-impact supple-
mental air bag, roof-mounted curtain side-impact
supplemental air bag and seat belt pretensioner
systems. The monitored circuits include air bag
systems, pretensioner(s) and all related wiring. When the power switch is in the ON position, the
supplemental air bag warning light illuminates for
about 7 seconds and then turns off. This means
the system is operational.
If any of the following conditions occur, the front
air bag, side air bag, curtain air bag and preten-
sioner systems need servicing:
• The supplemental air bag warning light remains
on after approximately 7 seconds.
• The supplemental air bag warning light flashes intermittently.
• The supplemental air bag warning light does not come on at all.
Under these conditions, the front air bag, side air
bag, curtain air bag and pretensioner systems
may not operate properly. They must be checked
and repaired. It is recommended that you visit the
nearest NISSAN certified LEAF dealer for this
service.

WARNING
If the supplemental air bag warning light
is on, it could mean that the front air bag,
side air bag, curtain air bag and/or pre-
tensioner systems will not operate in an
accident. To help avoid injury to yourself
or others, have your vehicle checked as
soon as possible. It is recommended that
you visit a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer
for this service.
Repair and replacement procedure
The front air bags, side air bags, curtain air bags
and pretensioner(s) are designed to activate on a
one-time-only basis. As a reminder, unless it is
damaged, the supplemental air bag warning light
will remain illuminated after inflation has oc-
curred. Repair and replacement of these systems
should be done only by a NISSAN certified LEAF
dealer.
When maintenance work is required on the ve-
hicle, the front air bags, side air bags, curtain air
bags and pretensioner(s) and related parts
should be pointed out to the person performing
the maintenance. The power switch should al-
ways be in the LOCK position when working
under the hood or inside the vehicle.
WARNING
• Once a front air bag, side air bag or curtain air bag has inflated, the air bag
module will not function again and
must be replaced. Additionally, the ac-
tivated pretensioner(s) must also be
replaced. The air bag module and pre-
tensioner(s) should be replaced. It is
recommended that you visit a NISSAN
certified LEAF dealer for this service.
The air bag modules and pretensioner
system cannot be repaired.
• The front air bag, side air bag and curtain air bag systems, and preten-
sioner system should be inspected if
there is any damage to the front end or
side portion of the vehicle. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN certi-
fied LEAF dealer for this service.
• If you need to dispose of a supplemen- tal air bag or pretensioner system or
scrap the vehicle, it is recommended
that you visit a NISSAN certified LEAF
dealer for this service. Correct supple-
mental air bag and pretensioner sys-
tem disposal procedures are set forth
in the appropriate NISSAN Service
Manual. Incorrect disposal procedures
could cause personal injury. • If there is an impact to your vehicle
from any direction, your Occupant
Classification Sensor (OCS) should be
checked. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer to
verify it is still functioning correctly.
The OCS should be checked even if no
air bags deploy as a result of the im-
pact. Failure to verify proper OCS func-
tion may result in an improper air bag
deployment resulting in injury or
death.

DISPLAYING CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM
STATUS SCREEN (MODELS WITH NAVIGA-
TION SYSTEM)
Press the STATUS button to display the climate
control system status on the navigation system
screen. For additional information, please refer to
the separate LEAF Navigation System Owner’s
Manual.
NOTE:
•If the READY to drive indicator light is illumi-
nated and the EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply
Equipment) is connected to the vehicle, the
power switch will change to the ON position.
At the same time, the climate control system
will stop operating. However, the fan will
continue to operate. If you want to turn on
climate control again, place the power switch
in the OFF position and then place it in the
ON position again after confirming that the
vehicle has started charging.
•When the power switch is in the ON posi-
tion, if the power supply from the EVSE
(Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) is inter-
rupted due to an electrical outage, etc., the
system will operate in the following ways.
– If it occurs while charging is being per- formed:– The climate control system will stop
once. If the power supply is restored
within approximately 5 minutes, the
climate control system will restart.
However, if more than 5 minutes
have elapsed, the climate control
system will not restart.
– If it occurs after charging has finished: –The climate control system will stop.
OPERATING TIPS
• The automatic climate control is equipped with
sensors as illustrated. The sensors
AandB
help maintain a constant temperature. Do not
put anything on or around these sensors.
• Power consumption of the climate control sys- tem varies depending on the outside tempera-
ture and the temperature set for the climate
control system. Power consumption increases if
the interior temperature is cooled down too
much in summer or if it warmed up too much in
winter. This will result in a reduced driving
range.

light. Use a tire pressure gauge to check the tire
pressure.
• The CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning also appears on the vehicle information display when
the low tire pressure warning light is illuminated
and low tire pressure is detected. The CHECK
TIRE PRESSURE warning turns off when the
low tire pressure warning light turns off.
• The CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning ap- pears each time the power switch is placed in
the ON position as long as the low tire pressure
warning light remains illuminated.
• The CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning does not appear if the low tire pressure warning light
illuminates to indicate a TPMS malfunction.
• Tire pressure rises and falls depending on the heat caused by operation of the vehicle and the
outside temperature. Do not reduce the tire
pressure after driving because the tire pressure
rises after driving. Low outside temperature can
lower the temperature 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
in low ambient temperature, check the tire pres-
sure for all four tires. • The pressure of all tires can also be checked on
the display screen. The order of the tire pres-
sure figures displayed on the screen does not
correspond with the actual order of the tire
position.
For additional information, refer to “Low tire pres-
sure warning light” in the “Instruments and con-
trols” section and “Tire Pressure Monitoring Sys-
tem (TPMS)” in the “In case of emergency”
section of this manual.
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 low tire pressure warning light illuminates while driving, avoid sud-
den 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 perma-
nently damage the tires and increase
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. Adjust the
tire pressure to the recommended
COLD tire pressure shown on the Tire
and Loading Information label to turn
the low tire pressure warning light
OFF. If the tire is flat, repair it as soon
as possible. (For additional informa-
tion, refer to “Flat tire” in the “In case
of emergency” section of this manual.)
• When replacing a wheel without the TPMS such as the spare tire, TPMS will
not function and the tow tire pressure
warning light will flash for approxi-
mately 1 minute. The light will remain
on after 1 minute. Have your tires re-
placed and/or TPMS system reset as
soon as possible. It is recommended
that you visit a NISSAN certified LEAF
dealer for this service.
• Replacing tires with those not origi- nally specified by NISSAN could affect
the proper operation of the TPMS.
• Do not inject any tire liquid or aerosol tire sealant into the tires, as this may
cause a malfunction of the tire pres-
sure sensors.
Starting and driving5-3

CAUTION
• The TPMS may not function properly when the wheels are equipped with
tire chains or the wheels are buried in
snow.
• Do not place metalized film or any metal parts (antenna, etc.) on the win-
dows. This may cause poor reception
of the signals from the tire pressure
sensors, and the TPMS will not func-
tion properly.
Some devices and transmitters may temporarily
interfere with the operation of the TPMS and
cause the low tire pressure warning light to illu-
minate. Some examples are:
• Facilities or electric devices using similar radio frequencies that are near the vehicle.
• If a transmitter set to similar frequencies is being used in or near the vehicle.
• If a computer (or similar equipment) or a DC/AC converter is being used in or near the vehicle.
• The low tire pressure warning light may illumi- nate in the following cases: – If the vehicle is equipped with a wheel and tire without TPMS.
– If the TPMS has been replaced and the ID has not been registered. – If the wheel is not originally specified by
NISSAN.
