RANGE
The distance you can drive the vehicle
(range) varies considerably depending
upon available charge, weather, tempera-
ture, usage, battery age, topography, and
driving style.
Refer to the Monroney label (window sticker)
for the official EPA range. Your actual range
will vary and could be significantly less, either
initially or as the battery ages and with use
over time. For additional information, refer to
“Improve driving range” in this section for in-
formation on the factors that affect vehicle
range and how to use the vehicle to maxi-
mize vehicle range.
IMPROVE DRIVING RANGE
Vehicle range depends on a number of fac-
tors.
Actual vehicle range will vary depending
upon:
• Speed,
• Vehicle load,
• Electrical load from vehicle accessories,
• Traffic and road conditions,• Distance driven without stopping,
• Usage,
• Driving style,
• Battery age,
• Weather or temperature,
• Topography,
• Charging habits.
• Speed,
• Vehicle load,
• Electrical load from vehicle accessories,
• Traffic and road conditions.
NISSAN recommends the following driv-
ing habits to help maximize vehicle range:
Before driving:
• Follow recommended periodic main-
tenance.
• Keep tires inflated to correct pressure.
• Keep wheels in correct alignment.
• Pre-heat or pre-cool the interior cabin while the vehicle is charging.
• Remove unnecessary cargo from the vehicle. While driving:
• Drive in ECO mode
– The ECO mode helps reduce powerconsumption by reducing acceleration
when compared to the same accelera-
tor pedal position in the D (Drive) posi-
tion (normal mode).
• Drive at a constant speed. Maintain cruis- ing speeds with constant accelerator po-
sitions or by using cruise control when
appropriate.
• Accelerate slowly and smoothly. Gently press and release the accelerator pedal
for acceleration and deceleration.
• Drive at moderate speeds on the highway.
• Avoid extending highway driving with multiple quick charges.
• Avoid frequent stopping and braking. Maintain a safe distance behind other
vehicles.
• Turn off the air conditioner/heater when it is not necessary.
• Select a moderate temperature setting for heating or cooling to help reduce
power consumption.

Low tire pressure warning
light
Your vehicle is equipped with a Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring System (TPMS) that moni-
tors the tire pressure of all tires. The low tire pressure warning light warns
of low tire pressure or indicates that the
TPMS is not functioning properly.
Af ter the power switch is placed in the ON
position, this light illuminates for about
1 second and then turns off.
Low tire pressure warning
If the vehicle is being driven with low tire
pressure, the warning light will illuminate.
The “Low Tire Pressure — Add Air” warning
also appears on the vehicle information
display.
When the low tire pressure warning light
illuminates, you should stop and adjust the
tire pressure to the recommended COLD
tire pressure shown on the Tire and Load-
ing Information label. The low tire pressure
warning light does not automatically turn
off when the tire pressure is adjusted. Af ter
the tire is inflated to the recommended
pressure, the vehicle must be driven at
speeds above 16 mph (25 km/h) to activate
the TPMS and turn off the low tire pressure
warning light. Use a tire pressure gauge to
check the tire pressure.
Instruments and controls2-21

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
information display” in this section and
“Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)” in
the “Starting and driving” section of this

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

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.

Indicators for maintenance
These indicators appear when the cus-
tomer set distance comes for replacing
tires or other maintenance items. You can
set or reset the distance for replacing tires
and other maintenance items.
WARNING
The tire replacement indicator is not a
substitute for regular tire checks, in-
cluding tire pressure checks. For addi-
tional information, refer to “Changing
wheels and tires” in the “Maintenance
and do-it-yourself ” section of this
manual. Many factors including tire in-
flation, alignment, driving habits and
road conditions affect tire wear and
when tires should be replaced. Setting
the tire replacement indicator for a
certain driving distance does not
mean your tires will last that long. Use
the tire replacement indicator as a
guide only and always perform regular
tire checks. Failure to perform regular
tire checks, including tire pressure
checks could result in tire failure. Seri-
ous vehicle damage could occur and
may lead to a collision, which could re-
sult in serious personal injury or death. For scheduled maintenance items and in-
tervals, refer to the NISSAN Service and
Maintenance Guide.

Available views
WARNING
• The distance guide lines and the ve- hicle width lines should be used as a
reference only when the vehicle is on
a paved, level surface. The apparent
distance viewed on the monitor may
be different than the actual distance
between the vehicle and displayed
objects. • Use the displayed lines and the
bird’s eye view as a reference. The
lines and the bird’s-eye view are
greatly affected by the number of
occupants, cargo, fuel level, vehicle
position, road condition and road
grade.
• If the tires are replaced with differ- ent sized tires, the predictive course
lines and the bird’s-eye view may be
displayed incorrectly.
• When driving the vehicle up a hill, objects viewed in the monitor are
further than they appear. When driv-
ing the vehicle down a hill, objects
viewed in the monitor are closer
than they appear.
• Objects in the rear view will appear visually opposite compared to when
viewed in the rear view and outside
mirrors.
• Use the mirrors or actually look to properly judge distances to other
objects.
• On a snow-covered or slippery road, there may be a difference between
the predictive course lines and the
actual course line. • The vehicle width and predictive
course lines are wider than the ac-
tual width and course.
• The displayed lines will appear slightly off to the right, because the
rearview camera is not installed in
the rear center of the vehicle.
