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 (PARK) – Activated by pushing
the P (PARK) switch on the shift lever when the
vehicle has come to a complete stop.
• D (DRIVE) – For normal driving, it is 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.
• While in either D (DRIVE) or B-Mode, ECO can be activated by pressing the ECO
button on the right side of the steering wheel.
• While in ECO, there will be a reduced acceleration response.
For more information, refer to the “EV overview (section EV)” and the “Starting and driving (section 5)” of your
Owner’s Manual.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)
WITH EASY FILL TIRE ALERT
A CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning message
will appear in the vehicle information display
1 and the low tire pressure warning light
2
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 tire to the recommended COLD tire
pressure.

To use the Easy Fill Tire Alert system:
1. Apply the parking brake and push the P (PARK) switch on the shift lever.
2. Place the power switch in the ON position. Do not place the power switch in the
READY to drive mode.
3. Add air to the underinflated tire, and within a few seconds, the hazar\
d warning
lights will flash.
4. When 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 16 mph (25 km/h)
and the warning message and indicator light will extinguish.

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 tempe\
rature 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.
