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.

For additional information, refer to “Emer-
gency shut-off system” in the “EV over-
view” section of this manual.
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.

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.
