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
illustration.
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, see “Power limitation indi-
cator light” (P. 2-22).
• 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
demand.
The white illuminated portion
O1moves to
the right when power is provided to the
traction motor (Li-ion battery discharges).
