e—Pedal system failure! Press brake
pedal to slow or stop
This warning appears when the e-Pedal
system is malfunctioning. Have the 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, see “Changing
wheels and tires” (P. 8-34). Many factors
including tire inflation, alignment, driv-
ing habits and road conditions affect
tire wear and when tires should be re-
placed. Setting the tire replacement in-
dicator 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 pres-
sure checks could result in tire failure.
Serious vehicle damage could occur
and may lead to a collision, which could
result in serious personal injury or
death.
For scheduled maintenance items and in-
tervals, see “Maintenance and schedules.”
Headlight System Error: See Owner’s
Manual
This warning appears when the LED head-
lights are not functioning properly.
If this warning appears, have your system
checked. It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN certified LEAF dealer for this
service.
Low battery charge
indicator
This light appears when the available Li-ion
battery charge is getting low. Charge as
soon as it is possible, preferably before the
Li-ion battery available charge gauge
reaches 0%.
NOTE:
The low battery charge indicator turns
off immediately before the Li-ion battery
is completely discharged and the vehicle
will stop. If the Li-ion battery becomes
completely discharged, the vehicle must
be charged in order to be driven.
Low outside air
temperature
The outside air temperature is displayed in
°F or °C in the range of −20°F to 140°F (−30°C
to 60°C).
The outside air temperature mode in-
cludes a low temperature warning feature.
If the outside air temperature is below 37°F
(3°C), the warning is displayed on the
screen.
The outside temperature sensor is located
in front side of the vehicle. The sensor may
be affected by road, wind directions and
other driving conditions. The display may
differ from the actual outside temperature
or the temperature displayed on various
signs or billboards.
2-36Instruments and controls

1. Securely close the charge port lid.
2. Pull the hood lock release handle
O1lo-
cated below the driver’s side instrument
panel until the hood springs up slightly.
3. Locate the lever
O2between the hood
and the charge port lid, and push the
lever upward with your fingertips.
4. Raise the hood
O3.
5. Remove the support rod
O4from under
the hood and insert it into the slot
O5. Hold the coated parts when removing or
resetting the support rod
OA. Avoid di-
rect contact with the metal parts, as they
may be hot immediately af ter the motor
has been stopped.
When closing the hood, return the support
rod to its original position, lower the hood
to approximately 8 in (20 cm) above the
latch and release it. This allows proper en-
gagement of the hood latch.
WARNING
• Make sure the hood is completely
closed and latched before driving.
Failure to do so could cause the hood
to fly open and result in an accident.
• If you see steam or smoke coming
from the motor compartment, to
avoid injury do not open the hood.

3-18Pre-driving checks and adjustments

•When using a wheel without the
TPMS such as the 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 your
tires replaced and/or TPMS system
reset as soon as possible. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN cer-
tified LEAF dealer for this service.
• Replacing tires with those not origi-
nally specified by NISSAN could af-
fect the proper operation of the
TPMS.
• Do not inject any tire liquid or aerosol
tire sealant into the tires, as this may
cause a malfunction of the tire pres-
sure sensors.
CAUTION
• The TPMS may not function properly
when the wheels are equipped with
tire chains or the wheels are buried in
snow. •
Do not place metalized film or any
metal parts (antenna, etc.) on the
windows. This may cause poor re-
ception of the signals from the tire
pressure sensors, and the TPMS will
not function properly.
Some devices and transmitters may tem-
porarily interfere with the operation of the
TPMS and cause the low tire pressure
warning light to illuminate. Some examples
are:
• Facilities or electric devices using similar radio frequencies that are near the
vehicle.
• If a transmitter set to similar frequencies is being used in or near the vehicle.
• If a computer (or similar equipment) or a DC/AC converter is being used in or near
the vehicle.
The low tire pressure warning light may
illuminate in the following cases:
• If the vehicle is equipped with a wheel and tire without TPMS.
• If the TPMS has been replaced and the ID has not been registered.
• If the wheel is not originally specified by NISSAN. FCC Notice:

5-6Starting and driving

1. Acceleration
2. Deceleration (instead of brake pedal)
3. Making a stop (instead of brake pedal
When the e-Pedal system is activated, the
regenerative brake is enhanced and the
driver can adjust the vehicle speed by only
depressing or returning the accelerator
pedal. When you release (take your foot off )
the accelerator pedal, the vehicle slows
down and comes to a stop smoothly with-
out depressing the brake pedal. Af ter a
stop, the vehicle remains at a stop
automatically.To activate or deactivate the e-Pedal sys-
tem, place the power switch in the ON po-
sition and pull the e-Pedal switch located
on the center console. The e-Pedal system
turns on or off each time the e-Pedal
switch is pulled. (The e-Pedal indicator in
the vehicle information display shows the
status of the e-Pedal system.)
To turn the e-Pedal system off while the
vehicle is stopped by the e-Pedal system,
depress the brake pedal and then pull the
e-Pedal switch.
NOTE:
• When the e-Pedal system is switched
on or off, the degree of vehicle decel-
eration changes.
• The e-Pedal system automatically turns off when the EV system restarts.
• To keep the e-Pedal system activated even af ter the EV system restarts, turn
on “Retain Mode” in the “Driver Assis-
tance” menu of the vehicle information
display. For additional information, see
“Vehicle information display ” (P. 2-26).
• The setting for “Retain Mode” does not reset af ter selecting “Factory Reset” in
the “Settings” menu of the vehicle in-
formation display. For additional infor-
mation, see “Vehicle information dis-
play ” (P. 2-26).
When the e-Pedal system is activated, the
characteristics of the accelerator pedal
change significantly and the accelerator
pedal operates differently than a conven-
tional accelerator pedal operates. Be sure
to confirm the status of the e-Pedal system
in the vehicle information display before
driving.
