ECO mode NISSAN LEAF 2019 Owner´s Manual

It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN
certified LEAF dealer for assistance with
purchasing an extender if an extender is
required.
WARNING
• Only NISSAN seat belt extenders, made by the same company which
made the original equipment seat
belts, should be used with NISSAN
seat belts.
• Adults and children who can use the standard seat belt should not use an
extender. Such unnecessary use
could result in serious personal in-
jury in the event of an accident.
• Never use seat belt extenders to in- stall child restraints. If the child re-
straint is not secured properly, the
child could be seriously injured or
killed in a collision or a sudden stop.
SEAT BELT MAINTENANCE
•To clean the seat belt webbing, apply a
mild soap solution or any solution recom-
mended for cleaning upholstery or car-
pets. Then wipe with a cloth and allow the
seat belts to dry in the shade. Do not allow
the seat belts to retract until they are
completely dry.
• If dirt builds up in the shoulder belt
guide of the seat belt anchors, the seat
belts may retract slowly. Wipe the shoul-
der belt guide with a clean, dry cloth.
• Periodically check to see that the seat
belt and the metal components , such as
buckles, tongues, retractors, flexible wires
and anchors, work properly. If loose parts,
deterioration, cuts or other damage on
the webbing is found, the entire seat belt
assembly should be replaced.WARNING
Do not allow children to play with the
seat belts. Most seating positions are
equipped with Automatic Locking Re-
tractor (ALR) mode seat belts. If the
seat belt becomes wrapped around a
child’s neck with the ALR mode acti-
vated, the child can be seriously in-
jured or killed if the seat belt retracts
and becomes tight. This can occur
even if the vehicle is parked. Unbuckle
the seat belt to release the child. If the
seat belt cannot be unbuckled or is al-
ready unbuckled, release the child by
cutting the seat belt with a suitable
tool (such as a knife or scissors) to re-
lease the seat belt.
Children need adults to help protect them.
They need to be properly restrained.
In addition to the general information in
this manual, child safety information is
available from many other sources, includ-
ing doctors, teachers, government traffic
safety offices, and community organiza-
tions. Every child is different, so be sure to
learn the best way to transport your child.

1. Remove the head restraint/headrest
and store it in a secure place. Be sure to
reinstall the head restraint/headrest
when the child restraint is removed. For
additional information, refer to “Head
restraints/headrests" in this section.
2. Position the top tether strap
1over the
seatback.
3. Secure the tether strap to the tether an- chor point
2on the bottom of the seat-
back behind the child restraint.
4. Tighten the tether strap according to the manufacturer’s instructions to re-
move any slack.
If you have any questions when install-
ing a top tether strap, it is recommended
that you visit a NISSAN certified LEAF
dealer for details.
WARNING
Child restraint anchorages are de-
signed to withstand only those loads
imposed by correctly fitted child re-
straints. Under no circumstances are they to be used to attach adult seat
belts, or other items or equipment to
the vehicle. Doing so could damage the
child restraint anchorages. The child
restraint will not be properly installed
using the damaged anchorage, and a
child could be seriously injured or
killed in a collision.
FORWARD-FACING CHILD
RESTRAINT INSTALLATION USING
THE SEAT BELTS
WARNING
The three-point seat belt with Auto-
matic Locking Retractor (ALR) must be
used when installing a child restraint.
Failure to use the ALR mode will result
in the child restraint not being properly
secured. The restraint could tip over or
be loose and cause injury to a child in a
sudden stop or collision. Also, it can
change the operation of the front pas-
senger air bag. For additional informa-
tion, refer to “Front passenger air bag
and status light” in this section.

9. Check to make sure the child restraint isproperly secured prior to each use. If the
seat belt is not locked, repeat steps
2 through 8.
10. If the child restraint is installed on thefront passenger seat, push the power
switch to the ON position. The front
passenger air bag status light
should illuminate. If this light does not
illuminate, refer to “Front passenger air
bag and status light” in this section.
Move the child restraint to another
seating position. Have the system
checked. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer for
this service. Af ter the child restraint is removed and the
seat belt is fully retracted, the ALR mode
(child restraint mode) is canceled.
1-38Safety–Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

• If the booster seat is compatible with yourvehicle, place your child in the booster
seat and check the various adjustments
to be sure the booster seat is compatible
with your child. Always follow all recom-
mended procedures.
All U.S. states and Canadian provinces or
territories require that infants and small
children be restrained in an approved
child restraint at all times while the ve-
hicle is being operated.
The instructions in this section apply to
booster seat installation in the rear seats
or the front passenger seat.
Booster seat installation
WARNING
To avoid injury to child, do not use the
lap/shoulder belt Automatic Locking
Retractor (ALR) mode when using a
booster seat with the seat belts.
For additional information, refer to all Warn-
ings and Cautions in “Child safety”, “Child
restraints” and “Booster seats” sections of
this manual before installing a child re-
straint.
Follow these steps to install a booster seat
on the rear seat or in the front passenger
seat: 1.
If you must install a booster seat in the
front seat, move the seat to the rear-
most position.
2. Position the booster seat on the seat. Only place it in the forward-facing direc-
tion. Always follow the booster seat
manufacturer’s instructions.
3. The booster seat should be positioned on the vehicle seat so that it is stable. Front passenger seat

In addition to the above, certain objects
placed on the front passenger seat may
also cause the light to operate as de-
scribed above depending on their weight.
For additional information, refer to “Normal
operation” and “Troubleshooting” in this
section.
Front passenger air bag:
The front passenger air bag is designed to
automatically turn OFF when the vehicle is
operated under some conditions as de-
scribed below in accordance with U.S. regu-
lations. If the front passenger air bag is OFF,
it will not inflate in a crash. The driver air bag
and other air bags in your vehicle are not
part of this system.
The purpose of the regulation is to help
reduce the risk of injury or death from an
inflating air bag to certain front passenger
seat occupants, such as children, by requir-
ing the air bag to be automatically turned
OFF. Certain sensors are used to meet the
requirements.
The occupant classification sensor in this
vehicle is a weight sensor. It is designed to
detect an occupant and objects on theseat by weight. For example, if a child is in
the front passenger seat, the NISSAN Ad-
vanced Air Bag System is designed to turn
the front passenger air bag OFF in accor-
dance with the regulations. Also, if a child
restraint of the type specified in the regula-
tions is on the seat, its weight and the
child’s weight can be detected and cause
the air bag to turn OFF.
Front passenger seat adult occupants who
are properly seated and using the seat belt
as outlined in this manual should not
cause the front passenger air bag to be
automatically turned OFF. For small adults
it may be turned OFF, however if the occu-
pant takes his/her weight off the seat
cushion (for example, by not sitting upright,
by sitting on an edge of the seat, or by
otherwise being out of position), this could
cause the sensors to turn the air bag OFF.
Always be sure to be seated and wearing
the seat belt properly for the most effective
protection by the seat belt and supple-
mental air bag.
NISSAN recommends that pre-teens and
children be properly restrained in a rear
seat. NISSAN also recommends that ap-
propriate child restraints and booster
seats be properly installed in a rear seat. If
this is not possible, the occupant classifica-
tion sensor is designed to operate as de-
scribed above to turn the front passenger
air bag OFF for specified child restraints as
required by regulations. Failing to properly
secure child restraints and to use the ALR
mode may allow the restraint to tip or
move in a collision or sudden stop. This can
also result in the front passenger air bag
inflating in a crash instead of being OFF. For
additional information, refer to “Child re-
straints” in this section.
If the front passenger seat is not occupied,
the front passenger air bag is designed not
to inflate in a crash. However, heavy objects
placed on the seat could result in air bag
inflation, because of the object’s weight be-
ing detected by the occupant classification
sensor. Other conditions could also result
in air bag inflation, such as if a child is
standing on the seat, or if two children are
on the seat, contrary to the instructions in
this manual. Always be sure that you and
all vehicle occupants are seated and re-
strained properly.

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
1shown 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, re-
duce 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 illumi-
nated. Therefore, the vehicle is not as
responsive when the accelerator is de-
pressed while the power limitation light
is illuminated. For additional informa-
tion, 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.
2-8Instruments and controls

DRIVING RANGE
The driving range1provides 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 continue
to drive the vehicle in this state and the
Li-ion battery is close to being com-
pletely discharged, “---” will be dis-
played. 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 ev-
ery 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 avail-
able Li-ion battery charge is getting low.
Charge the Li-ion battery before the blue
bar of the gauge
1disappears.
2-10Instruments and controls

The low battery charge indicator3
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
1disappears.
When the blue bar of the gauge
1disap-
pears and the charge indicator
3
illuminates, there is a very small reserve of
Li-ion battery charge remaining.
NOTE:
• The length of the blue bar of the gauge
1is 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 bat-
tery is capable of storing more power
when the Li-ion battery temperature is
warm. The length of the blue bar of the
gauge
1can change based on the
amount of power the Li-ion battery is
capable of storing. For example, when
the Li-ion battery becomes colder, a longer blue bar of the gauge
1illumi-
nates because the available charge is a
greater percentage of the Li-ion bat-
tery's capability of storing power. When
the Li-ion battery becomes warmer, a
shorter blue bar of the gauge
1illumi-
nates because the remaining energy
is a lower percentage of the Li-ion bat-
tery'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:
1The currently remaining Li-ion battery
charge level.
2The 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. Not charging
