There are some areas where the system will not
show objects.
• When in the front or the rear view display,
an object below the bumper or on the
ground may not be viewed

2.
• When in the bird’s-eye view, a tall object near the seam
of the camera detecting areas

3 will not appear
in the monitor.

The distance between objects viewed on
the Around® View Monitor differs from the
actual distance.

Objects in the bird’s-eye view will appear farther than
the actual distance.
For more information, refer to the “Display screen, heater, air conditioner, audio and phone systems (section 4)”
of your Owner’s Manual.
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.

POWER LIMITATION INDICATOR LIGHT
When the power limitation indicator light illuminates, power
provided to the traction motor is reduced.

This light illuminates in the following conditions:
• The Li-ion battery available charge is extremely low.
• The Li-ion battery temperature is very low.
• The temperature of the Electric Vehicle (EV) system is high (motor, inverter, coolant
system, Li-ion battery, etc.).
• The EV system has a malfunction.

If the power limitation indicator light is illuminated, follow the instructions provided o\
n
the center display.
For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)” of your Owner’s Manual.
LI-ION BATTERY
TEMPERATURE GAUGE AND LI-ION
BATTERY GAUGES
LI-ION BATTERY TEMPERATURE GAUGE

The temperature of the Li-ion battery is in the
normal range

1 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.
LI-ION BATTERY GAUGES

The Li-ion Battery Available Charge Gauge
1
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
2
indicates the amount of charge the Li-ion battery
is capable of storing.

The driving range
3 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.

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.

POWER METER
The power meter displays the traction motor
power consumption and the regenerative brake
power applied to the Li-ion battery.

When the battery is charged, power is generated
by the regenerative brake system and the central
dot
1 illuminates and the number of circles
increases to the left.

When the battery discharges and power is provided to the motor, the central dot
illuminates and the number of circles increases to the right.

The number of circles will increase or decrease depending on the Li-ion b\
attery
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.
