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



• The Li-ion bat
tery available charge is extremely low.



•
The Li-ion battery temperature is very low.



• The temper
ature of the Electric Vehicle (EV) system is high (motor, inverter,
coolant system, Li-ion battery, etc.).



•
The EV system has a malfunction.
LI-ION BATTERY TEMPERATURE GAUGE
AND LI-ION BATTERY GAUGES
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 temper ature 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.
LI-ION BATTERY GAUGES
The Li-ion Bat tery Available Charge Gauge

2 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 Bat tery Capacity Level Gauge
3
indicates the amount of charge the Li-ion
battery is capable of storing.
The driving r ange
4 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.
Please see your Owner’s Manual for important safety information, system limitations, and additional
operating and feature information.

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 tire to the recommended COLD
tire pressure.
To use the Easy-Fill Tire Alert system: 1.


Appl
y the parking brake and push the P (PARK) switch on the shif t lever.



2.

Plac
e the power switch in the ON position. Do not place the power switch in
the ready to drive mode.



3.

A
dd air to the under-inflated tire, and within a few seconds, the hazard
warning lights will flash.



4.

When the designated tir
e pressure is reached, the horn will beep once and the
hazard warning lights will stop flashing.



5
.
R
epeat this procedure for any additional under-inflated tires.
Af ter tire pressures are adjusted, drive the vehicle at speeds above 16 mph (25 km/h) and the warning message and warning light will extinguish.
When the lo w tire pressure warning light 2 flashes for approximately 1 minute
and then remains on, the TPMS is not functioning properly. Have the system
checked. It is recommended that you visit a Nissan dealer for this service.
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 temperature of the air inside the tire, which can cause a lower tire inflation
pressure. This may cause the low tire pressure warning light
2 to illuminate.
If the warning light illuminates, check the tire pressure in your tires.
The Tire and Loading Information label contains valuable information. Please refer to the “Technical and consumer information (section 9)” of your Owner’s
Manual for the location of the Tire and Loading Information label.
Please see your Owner’s Manual for important safety information, system limitations, and additional
operating and feature information.
For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)” and the “Starting and driving
(section 5)” of your Owner’s Manual.
