QUICK CHARGE (if so equipped)
Perform a quick charge by connecting the charge connector of a quick charger at a
charge station to the vehicle.
It takes approximately 30 minutes to charge the Li-ion battery to 80% when the low
battery charge warning light illuminates.
To charge your vehicle:

• Open the charge port lid by pushing the charge
port lid opener switch located on the instrument
panel to the left of the steering wheel and
unlatch the charge port cap
9.

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.
