Power limitation
indicator light
When the power limitation indicator light is
illuminated, the power provided to the trac-
tion motor is reduced. Therefore the ve-
hicle is not as responsive when the accel-
erator is depressed while the power
limitation light is illuminated.
When this light comes on, the warning dis-
play appears within the vehicle information
display. Follow the instructions provided on
the vehicle information display.
This light illuminates in the following
conditions.
• Li-ion battery available charge is ex-tremely low
• Li-ion battery temperature is very low (approximately −4°F (−20°C)
• When the temperature of the EV system is high (motor, inverter, coolant system,
Li-ion battery etc.)
• When the EV system has a malfunction.
If the low battery charge indicator is illumi-
nated, charge the Li-ion battery as soon as
possible.
If this indicator illuminates because the Li-
ion battery is cold due to low outside tem-
peratures, move the vehicle to a warmer lo- cation. The Li-ion battery temperature may
be increased by charging the Li-ion battery.
If the light illuminates when the EV system
becomes hot due to continuous hill climbing,
either continue driving at a slower safe speed
or stop the vehicle in a safe location. If this
indicator does not turn off, have the system
checked. It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN certified LEAF dealer for this service.
The indicator illuminates when a part in the
EV system has malfunctioned. If the indica-
tor illuminates in a situation other than
those described above, or if it does not turn
off, there may be a system malfunction.
Have the system checked. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN certified
LEAF dealer for this service.
WARNING
Power limitation mode can result in re-
duced power and vehicle speed. The re-
duced speed may be lower than other
traffic, which could increase the chance
of a collision. Be especially careful
when driving. If the vehicle cannot
maintain a safe driving speed, pull to
the side of the road in a safe area.
Charge the Li-ion battery if the charge
is low or allow the Li-ion battery to cool.
NOTE:
You can reduce charging time and keep
the Li-ion battery temperature lower if
you:
• Charge more frequently in smaller amounts, and
• Keep the battery at a higher level of charge.
