Instant ECO driving level
The instant ECO driving level
1is displayed by
the number of bars that increase (more economi-
cal driving) or decrease (less economical driving)
depending on vehicle operation.
Long term ECO driving level
Long term ECO driving is indicated by ECO
TREE symbols. The longer the vehicle is operated
economically, the more segments of the large
ECO TREE symbol
2are displayed. When all of
the segments of the large ECO TREE symbol are
displayed, a small ECO TREE indicator
3is also
displayed, and the large ECO TREE symbol dis-
play is reset. The longer the vehicle is operated
economically, the more small ECO TREE sym-
bols are displayed. The ECO TREE symbols that
were illuminated while driving will turn off when
the vehicle power is turned off. The ECO TREE
symbols are stored in the navigation system to
show long term efficient vehicle operation.
To increase the ECO driving level and for information
about driving the vehicle efficiently, see

driving range in theEV overview section.
CLOCK
Adjust the clock on the setting screen of the dot
matrix liquid crystal display. See 5. Settings.
If the power supply (12-volt battery) is discon-
nected, the clock will not indicate the correct
time. Readjust the time.
NOTE:
This clock is not synchronized with the
clock displayed on the navigation system

High beam indicator light
(blue)
This light illuminates when the headlight high
beam is on and goes out when the low beam is
selected.
Plug in indicator
light
This light illuminates while charge connector is
connected to the vehicle and blinks during charg-
ing.
NOTE:
If the charge connector is connected to the
vehicle, the power switch can not be placed
in the READY to drive position.
Power limitation indicator light
When the power limitation indicator light is illu-
minated, the power provided to the traction motor
is reduced. Therefore the vehicle is not as re-
sponsive when the accelerator is depressed
while the power limitation light is illuminated.
When this light comes on, the warning display
appears on the navigation display and the dot
matrix liquid crystal display. Follow the instruc-
tions provided on the navigation display.This light illuminates in the following conditions.
Li-ion battery available charge is extremely low
Li-ion battery temperature is very low (approxi-
mately 4°F (20°C)
When the temperature of EV system is high (motor, inverter, coolant system, Li-ion battery
etc.)
When the EV system has a malfunction.
If the low battery charge warning light is illumi-
nated, charge the Li-ion battery as soon as pos-
sible.
If this indicator illuminates because the Li-ion
battery is cold due to low outside temperatures,
move the vehicle to a warmer location. The Li-ion
battery temperature may be increased by charg-
ing the Li-ion battery.
If the light illuminates when the EV system be-
comes 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 illumi-
nates 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.
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.
