LI-ION BaTTerY T eM P eraT ure G auGe
The temperature of the Li-ion battery is in the normal
range
01 when the display is within this zone.

The temperature of the Li-ion battery varies with



outside air temperature, road surface temperature,



driving conditions, and c
harging rate .
To protect the battery, power is reduced when the



temperature of the battery is too high or low
. This



does not indicate a malfunction
.
For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)”
of your Owner’s Manual .

LI-ION BaTTerY G auGeS
The Li-ion Battery Available Charge Gauge
01
displays the appro

power remaining to drive the vehicle

.
Recharge the



Li-ion battery before these lights reac

The Li-ion Battery Capacity Level Gauge
02
indicates the amount of c
harge the Li-ion battery



is capable of storing.


The driving range 03 provides an estimated distance
that the vehicle can be driven b efore recharging is



necess

ary. The driving range is constantly being



calculated, based on the amount of available Li-ion




battery c

harge and the actual power consumption average.
For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)” of your Owner’s Manual .

03
LI-ION BaTT erY LI F e
If the vehicle is parked for a long period of time, the Li-ion battery will gradually discharge.
To keep the Li-ion battery in good condition, charge the battery once every 3 months using



the long life mode c
harging method .

If the Li-ion battery becomes fully disc harged and the Electric Vehicle (EV) system will not



activate even with a jump-st
art to the 12-volt battery, contact a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer.

A CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning message will



appear in the dot matrix liquid cryst
al display
01 and
the low tire pressure warning light 02 will illuminate
when one or more tires are low on pressure a nd air



is needed

.

When adding air to an under-inflated tire, the TPMS



with Easy Fill T
ire Alert system provides visual and



audible signals to help you inflate the tires to the




recommended C
OLD tire pressure .

To use the Easy Fill Tire Alert system:



1.

Apply the parking brake and press the
P (P
arK)




button on the shift lever
.

2

.
Place the power switc
h in the ON position . Do not



place in the
rea DY to drive mode .

3

.
Add air to the underinflated tire and within a few




seconds, the hazard warning lights will flash.



4.

W
hen the designated tire pressure is reached, the horn will beep once and the hazard



warning lights will stop flashing
.




5
.
Repeat this procedure for any additional underinflated tires
.

After tire pressures are adjusted, drive the vehicle at s peeds above 16 MPH (25km/h) and the



w
arning and indicator light will disappear
.
POwer LIMITaTI ON INDICaT O r LIGHT
When the power limitation indicator light illuminates,
power provided to the traction motor is reduced .

This light illuminates in the following conditions:



• T
he Li-ion battery available charge is extremely low.



• T
he Li-ion battery temperature is very low.



•

T
he temperature of the Electric Vehicle (EV)
system is high (motor, inverter, coolant system,
Li -ion battery, etc.).



• T
he EV system has a malfunction.
If the power limit ation indicator light is illuminated, follow the instructions provided o\
n the
navigation display

When the low tire pressure warning light flashes for approximately 1 minute and then remains
on, the TPMS is not functioning properly. Have the system checked by a NISSAN certified
LEAF dealer
.

Tire pressure rises and falls depending on the heat caused by the vehicle’s operation and the



o
utside temperature . Low outside temperature can lower the temperature of the air inside the\




tire, whic
h can cause a lower tire inflation pressure . This may cause the low tire pressure



warning light to illuminate
. If the warning light illuminates, check the tire pressure in your tires
.
For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)” and the “Starting and driving (section 5)” of your
Owner’s Manual .
