LI-ION BATTERY TEMPERATURE
GAUGE
The gauge indicates the temperature of
the Li-ion battery.
The temperature of the Li-ion battery is
within the normal range when the display
is within the zone
O1shown in the illustra-
tion.
The temperature of the Li-ion battery var-
ies according to the outside air tempera-
ture and driving conditions.
NOTE:
• If the display indicates that the tem- perature of the Li-ion battery is near
the red zone end of the normal range,
reduce vehicle speed to decrease the
temperature. If the indicator is over the
normal range, the power provided to
the traction motor is reduced when the
power limitation indicator light is illu-
minated. Therefore, the vehicle is not
as responsive when the accelerator is
depressed while the power limitation
light is illuminated. For additional in-
formation, refer to “Power limitation
indicator light” in this section.
• If the outside temperature is extremely low, the Li-ion temperature gauge may
not display a temperature reading. The
vehicle may not be able to be put in the
READY to drive mode. Have the system
checked. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer for
this service.

POWER METER
This meter displays the actual traction mo-
tor power consumption
OAand the regen-
erative brake power provided to the Li-ion
battery
OB.
The power meter is in a neutral state
O3.
The white illuminated portion
O1in the dis-
play moves right or lef t depending on de-
mand.
The white illuminated portion
O1moves to
the right when power is provided to the
traction motor (Li-ion battery discharges). The white illuminated portion
O1moves to
the lef t when power is generated and pro-
vided to the Li-ion battery by the regenera-
tive brake system (Li-ion battery charging).
The power meter also indicates if the
power provided to the motor is limited or if
regenerative braking is limited. When
power or regenerative braking is limited,
the illuminated segments on the display
are narrowed
O2.
Regenerative braking is automatically re-
duced when the Li-ion battery is fully
charged to prevent the Li-ion battery from
becoming overcharged. Regenerative
braking is also automatically reduced when the Li-ion battery temperature is
high/low (indicated by the red/blue zones
on the Li-ion battery temperature gauge)
to prevent Li-ion battery damage.
The more regenerative braking is reduced,
the more illuminated segments on the dis-
play are narrowed
O2.
If the Li-ion battery charge is low, power
provided to the traction motor is reduced.
Motor output is also limited if the Li-ion
battery temperature is high/low (indicated
by the red/blue zones on the Li-ion battery
temperature gauge) or the Li-ion battery
charge level is low.
The more power provided to the traction
motor is reduced, the more illuminated
segments on the display are narrowed
O2.
NOTE:
If the power meter is selected on the trip
computer, the meter is not displayed.

DRIVING RANGE
The driving rangeO1provides an esti-
mated distance that the vehicle can be
driven before recharging is necessary. The
driving range is constantly being calcu-
lated, based on the amount of available
Li-ion battery charge and the actual power
consumption average.
NOTE:
• The driving range display will flash when the low battery charge indicator
illuminates. Additionally, if you con-
tinue to drive the vehicle in this state
and the Li-ion battery is close to being
completely discharged, “---” will be
displayed. Charge the Li-ion battery as
soon as possible. When the Li-ion bat-
tery is charged, the original display will
be restored.
• Af ter the vehicle is charged, the dis- played driving range is calculated
based on the actual average energy
consumption of the previous driving.
The displayed driving range will vary
every time the vehicle is fully charged.
• The driving range increases or de- creases when the air conditioner,
heater or Li-ion battery warmer (if so
equipped) is turned on or off, or when
the ECO mode is selected, or when any
other accessory is turned on or off
based on driving (for models with
40kWh battery).
LI-ION BATTERY AVAILABLE
CHARGE GAUGE
1This gauge indicates the approximate
available Li-ion battery charge to run
the vehicle.
2This figure shows the current state of
charge (%) of the vehicle.
3Low battery charge indicator:
This indicator illuminates yellow when
the available Li-ion battery charge is
getting low.
LIC3866LIC3867
Instruments and controls2-9

Charge the Li-ion battery before the blue
bar of the gauge
O1disappears.
The low battery charge indicator
O3
illuminates yellow when the available Li-ion
battery charge is getting low. Charge as
soon as it is convenient, preferably before
the blue bar of the gauge
O1disappears.
When the blue bar of the gauge
O1disap-
pears and the charge indicator
O3
illuminates, there is a very small reserve of
Li-ion battery charge remaining.
NOTE:
• The length of the blue bar of the gauge
O1is determined by the available
charge and the amount of charge the
Li-ion battery is capable of storing at
the current temperature.
• Temperature affects the amount of charge the Li-ion battery is capable of
storing. The Li-ion battery is capable of
storing less power when the Li-ion bat-
tery temperature is cold. The Li-ion
battery is capable of storing more
power when the Li-ion battery tem-
perature is warm. The length of the
blue bar of the gauge
O1can change
based on the amount of power the Li-
ion battery is capable of storing. For
example, when the Li-ion battery be-
comes colder, a longer blue bar of the
gauge
O1illuminates because the
available charge is a greater percent-
age of the Li-ion battery's capability of
storing power. When the Li-ion battery
becomes warmer, a shorter blue bar of
the gauge
O1illuminates because the
remaining energy is a lower percent-
age of the Li-ion battery's capability of
storing power. Estimated charge time
The Estimated Charge Time mode shows
the estimated time charge the Li-ion bat-
tery to a full level. Immediately af ter the
power switch is placed in the
ONposition,
longer charging time may be displayed
than the actual time required.

How to read the display:
The displayed charging time is calculated
based on the electrical (supplied to the
charger), which is selected in the [Charge
Time Screen] setting under the EV Settings
menu. The display shows:
O1The currently remaining Li-ion battery
charge level.
O2The estimated charging time to reach
each percentage (25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) of
the Li-ion battery level.
• If the estimated charging time is longer than 24 hours, [Over 24hr] is displayed. • When the currently remaining Li-ion bat-
tery level exceeds each percentage level,
the charging time will be displayed as
[---].
• When the Li-ion battery was fully charge, all the charging time information will be
displayed as [---].O3The currently selected electrical power
(supplied to the charger).
O4The estimated charge level of the Li-ion
battery to be reached when the remaining
charging time has passed.
O5The electrical power that is actually sup-
plied while quick charging.
O6The remaining charging time before the
quick charger is shut off.
When charging is not performed, pushing
the button on the steering wheel will
switch the display to the [Charge Time
Screen]. Select the electrical power that
you wish to show in the Estimated Charge
Time display.
NOTE:
• While charging, the estimated charg- ing time is calculated based on the
electrical power that is currently being
supplied 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
displayed electrical power returns to
the selected electrical power.
