NEW SYSTEM FEATURES
SHIFT CONTROL SYSTEM
This vehicle is equipped with an electric shift control
system, providing smooth and easy shift lever operation.
There are five shift positions for operating the vehicle: P (PARK) , R (REVERSE) , N (NEUTRAL),
D (DRIVE) and B-Mode.
•
P (P
ARK) – Activated by pressing the P (PARK)
button on the shift lever when the car has come to
a complete stop.
•
D (D
RIVE) – For normal driving. Activated by moving the shift lever left and down. The
shift lever will then return to the center position.
•
B-Mode
– Engages the regenerative braking system more aggressively when
decelerating, helping to put energy back into the battery pack. To enter B-MODE the
vehicle must be in D (DRIVE) and then move the shift lever to the D (DRIVE) position
again. The shift lever will then return to the center position.
ECO – Consumes less power and helps extend vehicle range.
•
W
hile in either D (DRIVE) or B-MODE, ECO can be activated by pressing the ECO
button on the right side of the steering wheel.
•
W
hile in ECO, there will be a reduced acceleration response.

LI-ION BATTERY
TEMPERATURE GAUGE
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 charging 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.
01
LI-ION BATTERY GAUGES
The Li-ion Battery Available Charge Gauge
01
displays the approximate available Li-ion battery
power remaining to drive the vehicle. Recharge the
Li-ion battery before these lights reach the bottom line.
The Li-ion Battery Capacity Level Gauge
02
indicates the amount of charge the Li-ion battery is
capable of storing.
The driving range
03 provides an estimated distance
that the vehicle can be driven before recharging is
necessary. The driving range is constantly being
calculated, based on the amount of available Li-ion
battery charge and the actual power consumption average.
For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)” of your Owner’s Manual.

ESSE NTIAL I N FOR MATION
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM
(TPMS) WITH EASY FILL TIRE ALERT
A CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning message will appear in the vehicle information display 01 and the
low tire pressure warning light 02 will illuminate when
one or more tires are low in pressure and air is needed.
When adding air to an under-inflated tire, the TPMS with Easy Fill Tire Alert system provides visual and audible signals to help you
inflate the tires to the recommended COLD tire pressure.
To use the Easy Fill Tire Alert system:
1.
Apply the parking brake and press the
P (PARK) button on the shift lever.
2.
Place the power switc
h in the ON position. Do not place in the READY 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 speeds above 1 6 MPH (25 km/h) and
the warning and indicator light will disappear.
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 outside temperature. Low outside temperature can lower the temperatu\
re 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, 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.

the regenerative brake system and the central dot
moves to the left.
When the battery discharges and power is provided to the motor, the central dot moves to
the right.
The number of circles will increase or decrease depending on Li-ion batte\
ry conditions
(motor output is limited if the Li-ion battery temperature is too high \
or too low or if the
Li-ion battery level is low).
For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)” of your Owner’s Manual.
