light NISSAN LEAF 2011 Owners Manual

ging 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, contact a NISSAN
certified dealer.
If the indicator illuminate when a part in the EV
system has malfunctioned. If the indicator
illuminates in a situation other than those
described above, or if it does not turn off, there
may be a system malfunction. Contact a
NISSAN certified LEAF dealer.

Headlight beam select
*1To select the low beam, put the lever in the neutral
position as shown.
*2To select the high beam, push the lever forward
while the switch is in the

Push the switch again to turn the heated
steering wheel system off manually. The indica-
tor light turn off.
NOTE:
.If the surface temperature of the steer-
ing wheel is above 688F (208C) when
the switch is turned on, the system will
not heat the steering wheel. This is not
a malfunction.
. If the outside temperature is low (ap-
proximately 508F (108C) or less) and the
A/C-Heater Timer (Climate Ctrl. Timer)
or Remote Climate Control are used,
the steering wheel heater will automa-
tically operate in the following condi-
tions.
— When using the A/C-Heater Timer
(Climate Ctrl. Timer): Operates from
approximately 15 minutes before
the set departure time until the set
departure time.
— When using Remote Climate Con-
trol: Operates 15 minutes after Re-
mote Climate Control starts.
. The heated steering wheel consumes
less power than the heater and can be
used to either help extend vehicle
range by reducing heater use or to maximize comfort by supplementing
the heater.

CAUTION
.Do not use for anything other than
glasses.
. Do not leave glasses in the sun-
glasses holder while parking in
direct sunlight. The heat may da-
mage the glasses.

4. When activated, the hazard warning lightswill flash twice. When deactivated, the
hazard warning lights will flash once.
5. The power switch must be placed in the OFF and ON position again between each
setting change.
When the automatic door unlock system is
deactivated, the doors do not unlock when the
power is placed in the OFF position. To unlock
the door manually, use the inside lock knob or
the power door lock switch (driver’s or front
passenger’s side).

When opening the charge port lid:
1. Pull the charge port lid opener handlelocated below the instrument panel. The
charge port lid will then spring up slightly.

Automatic anti-glare type
The inside mirror is designed so that it
automatically changes reflection based on the
intensity of the headlights of the vehicle behind.
The anti-glare system automatically turns on
when the power switch is moved to the ON
position.
When the system is turned on, the indicator light
*Awill illuminate and excessive glare from the
headlights of the vehicle behind you will be
reduced.
Type A: Push the

pressure warning light. Use a tire pressure
gauge to check the tire pressure.
. The Check tire Pressure warning appears on
the dot matrix liquid crystal display when the
low tire pressure warning light is illuminated
and low tire pressure is detected. The
Check tire Pressure warning turns off when
the low tire pressure warning light turns off.
The Check tire Pressure warning does not
appear if the low tire pressure warning light
illuminates to indicate a TPMS malfunction.
. Tire pressure rises and falls depending on
the heat caused by operation of the vehicle
and the outside temperature. A low outside
temperature can decrease the temperature
of the air inside the tire, which can cause a
lower tire inflation pressure. This may cause
the low tire pressure warning light to
illuminate. If the warning light illuminates in
low ambient temperature, check the tire
pressure for all four tires.
For additional information, see “Low tire pres-
sure warning light” in the “2. Instruments and
controls” section and “Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS)” in the “6. In case of emer-
gency” section.

.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 temporarily
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.

TPMS with Easy Fill Tire Alert
When tire pressure is low, the low tire pressure
warning light illuminates.
This vehicle provides visual and audible signals
to help you inflate the tires to the recommended
COLD tire pressure.
Vehicle set-up:
1. Park the vehicle in a safe and level place.
2. Apply the parking brake and push the P
position switch on the selector lever.
3. Place the power switch in the ON position. Do not place in the READY to drive mode. Operation:
1. Add air to the tire.
2. After a few seconds, the hazard indicators
will start flashing.
3. When the designated pressure is reached, the horn beeps once and the hazard
indicators stop flashing.
4. Perform the above steps for each tire.
. If the tire is over-inflated more than approxi-
mately 4 psi (30 kPa), the horn beeps and
the hazard indicators flash 3 times. To
correct the pressure, push the core of the
valve stem on the tire briefly to release
pressure. When the pressure reaches the
designated pressure, the horn beeps once.
. If the hazard indicator does not flash within
approximately 15 seconds after starting to
inflate the tire, it indicates that the Easy Fill
Tire Alert is not operating.
. The TPMS will not activate the Easy Fill Tire
Alert under the following conditions:
— If there is interference from an external
device or transmitter.
— The air pressure from the inflation device is not sufficient to inflate the tire such as
those using a power socket.

NOTE:
.While the electric parking brake is
applied or released, an operating
sound is heard from the lower side of
the rear seat. However, this is not a
malfunction.
. When the electric parking brake is
frequently applied and released in a
short period of time, the electric park-
ing brake may not operate in order to
prevent the electric parking brake sys-
tem from overheating. If this occurs,
operate the electric parking brake
again after approximately 1 minute.
. The electric parking brake can be
released with the power switch in the
ON or READY to drive position.
. If the electric parking brake must be
applied while driving in an emergency,
pull up and hold the electric parking
brake switch. When you release the
parking brake switch, the parking
brake will be released.
. While pulling up on the electric parking
brake switch, the electric parking brake
is applied and a chime sounds. The
electric parking brake indicator light in
the meter and parking brake switch operation indicator illuminate. This
does not indicate a malfunction. The
electric parking brake indicator light
and parking switch operation indicator
turn off when the electric parking brake
switch is released.
. Pull up on the electric parking brake
switch twice so that the maximum
electric parking brake force can be
applied to the vehicle.
. When operating the electric parking
brake switch with the power switch in
the ON position, the electric parking
brake indicator light in the meter and
the electric parking brake switch op-
eration indicator turn on.
. Do not start driving while the parking
brake is applied. Doing so may cause
the parking brake to overheat or re-
duce its effectiveness, which could
result in an accident.
. When pulling the electric parking brake
switch with the power switch in the
OFF or ACC position, the electric park-
ing brake switch operation indicator
will continue to illuminate for a short
period of time.
