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.

POWER METER
The power meter displays the traction motor power consumption and the regenerative
brake power applied to the Li-ion battery.
When the bat tery is charged, power is
generated by the regenerative brake system
and the central dot
1 illuminates and the
number of circles increases to the lef t.
When the bat tery discharges and power is provided to the motor, the central
dot
1 illuminates and the number of circles increases to the right.
The number of cir cles will increase or decrease depending on the Li-ion battery
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.)
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)” 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:
•
Traction motor and inverter system
• Char
ge port or on-board charger
• Li-ion bat
tery system
• C
ooling system
• Shif
t control system
• Emer
gency shut-off system
If the warning light illuminates, contact a Nissan-certified LEAF dealer.
Please see your Owner’s Manual for important safety information, system limitations, and additional
