cal power that is currently being sup-
plied to the charger.
•
The electrical power for the normal
charging is displayed at a fixed value.
Therefore, the displayed electrical power
may differ from the one that is actually
supplied.
• For the quick charging, the electrical
power display will change to the actual
electrical power while charging. If the
charging is stopped or the power sup-
ply is stopped (unplugged, etc.), the dis-
played electrical power returns to the
selected electrical power.
• The displayed charging time on each
percentage level is the current estima-
tion, and the actual charging time will
vary depending on the conditions of the
vehicle or the state of charge.
• Right af ter starting of stopping charge,
the estimated charging time may differ
from the actual charging time. The ac-
tual charging time will be displayed

The “Low Tire Pressure — Add Air” warning
appears each time the power switch is
placed in the ON position as long as the low
tire pressure warning light remains illumi-
nated.
For additional information, refer to “Vehicle
information display” in this section, “Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)” in the
“Starting and driving” section and “In case
of emergency” section of this manual.
TPMS malfunction
If the TPMS is not functioning properly, the
low tire pressure warning light will flash for
approximately 1 minute when the power
switch is placed in the ON position. The
light will remain on af ter the 1 minute. Have
the system checked. It is recommended
that you visit a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer
for this service. The “Low Tire Pressure —
Add Air” warning does not appear if the low
tire pressure warning light illuminates to
indicate a TPMS malfunction.
For additional information, refer to “Vehicle

WARNING
• Radio waves could adversely affect electric medical equipment. Those
who use a pacemaker should con-
tact the electric medical equipment
manufacturer for the possible influ-
ences before use.
• If the light does not illuminate when the power switch is placed in the ON
position, have the vehicle checked. It
is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN certified LEAF dealer as soon
as possible for this service.
• If the light illuminates while driving, avoid sudden steering maneuvers
or abrupt braking, reduce vehicle
speed, pull off the road to a safe lo-
cation and stop the vehicle as soon
as possible. Driving with under-
inflated tires may permanently
damage the tires and increase the
likelihood of tire failure. Serious ve-
hicle damage could occur and may
lead to an accident and could result
in serious personal injury or death.
Check the tire pressure for all four
tires. Adjust the tire pressure to the
recommended COLD tire pressure
shown on the Tire and Loading Infor- mation label to turn the low tire
pressure warning light OFF. If the
light still illuminates while driving
af ter adjusting the tire pressure, a
tire may be flat or the TPMS may be
malfunctioning. If you have a flat
tire, replace it with a replacement
tire as soon as possible. If no tire is
flat and all tires are properly inflated,
have the vehicle checked. It is rec-
ommended that you visit a NISSAN
certified LEAF dealer for this service.
• When replacing a wheel without the TPMS such as a spare tire, the TPMS
will not function and the low tire
pressure warning light will flash for
approximately 1 minute. The light
will remain on af ter 1 minute. Have
the system checked. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN cer-
tified LEAF dealer as soon as pos-
sible for tire replacement and/or
system resetting.
• Replacing tires with those not origi- nally specified by NISSAN could af-
fect the proper operation of the
TPMS.

CAUTION
• The TPMS is not a substitute for the regular tire pressure check. Be sure
to check the tire pressure regularly.
• If the vehicle is being driven at speeds of less than 16 mph
(25 km/h), the TPMS may not oper-
ate correctly.
• Be sure to install the specified size of tires to the four wheels correctly.
Master warning light
(red/yellow)

lights: yellow and red. These lights illumi-
nate if any warning lights or indicator lights
are illuminated or if various vehicle infor-
mation warnings appear in the vehicle in-
formation display.
Yellow master warning light
This light illuminates when a yellow warn-
ing light within the vehicle information dis-
play is illuminated or when a message is
displayed on the vehicle information dis-
play. Red master warning light
This light illuminates when a red warning
light within the vehicle information display
is illuminated or when a warning is dis-
played on the vehicle information display.
Power steering warning
light
When the power switch is in the ON posi-
tion, the electric power steering warning
light illuminates and turns off when the
power switch is placed in the READY to
drive position. This indicates the electric
power steering system is operational.
If the electric power steering warning light
illuminates while the READY to drive indica-
tor light is ON, it may indicate the electric
power steering system is not functioning
properly and may need servicing. Have the
electric power steering system checked. It
is recommended that you visit a NISSAN
certified LEAF dealer for this service.
When the electric power steering warning
light illuminates while the READY to drive
indicator is ON, the power assist to the
steering will cease operation but you will
still have control of the vehicle. At this time,greater steering efforts are required to
operate the steering wheel, especially in
sharp turns and at low speeds.
For additional information, refer to “Power
steering system” in the “Starting and driv-
ing” section of this manual.
Seat belt warning light
The light and chime remind you to fasten
your seat belts. The light illuminates when-
ever the power switch is placed in the ON
position, and will remain illuminated until
the driver’s seat belt is fastened. At the
same time, the chime will sound for ap-
proximately 6 seconds unless the driver’s
seat belt is securely fastened.
The seat belt warning light for the front
passenger will illuminate if the seat belt is
not fastened when the front passenger’s
seat is occupied. The front passenger seat
belt warning light does not activate until
5 seconds af ter the power switch is in the
ON position.

The heated steering wheel system is de-
signed to operate only when the surface
temperature of the steering wheel is below
approximately 68°F (20°C).
Push the heated steering wheel switch to
warm the steering wheel when the power
switch is in the ACC or ON position. The indi-
cator light
1on the switch will illuminate.
If the surface temperature of the steering
wheel is below approximately 68°F (20°C),
the system will heat the steering wheel and
cycle off and on to maintain a temperature
above 68°F (20°C). The indicator light will
remain on as long as the system is on. Push the switch again to turn the heated
steering wheel system off manually. The
indicator light turns off.
NOTE:
•
If the surface temperature of the steer-
ing wheel is above 68°F (20°C) when the
switch is turned on, the system will not
heat the steering wheel. This is not a
malfunction.
• If the outside temperature is low (ap-
proximately 50°F (10°C) or less) and the
Climate Control Timer or Remote Cli-
mate Control are used, the steering
wheel heater will automatically operate
in the following conditions.
– When using the Climate Control Timer: Operates from approximately
15 minutes before the set departure
time until the set departure time.
– When using Remote Climate Control: Operates 15 minutes af ter Remote
Climate Control starts.
• The heated steering wheel consumes
less power than the heater and can be
used to either help extend vehicle range
by reducing heater use or to maximize
comfort by supplementing the heater. The E-call (SOS) system button is used in
combination with a NissanConnect® (for
Leaf ) Services subscription to call for assis-
tance in case of an emergency.
Pressing the button will (with a paid sub-
scription) reach a Response Specialist that
will provide assistance based on the situa-
tion described by the vehicle’s occupant. For
