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.

Before charging the Li-ion battery, see your Owner’s Manual for detailed warnings and
cautions when charging your battery.
There are three methods available to perform the charge operation: normal charge,
trickle charge and quick charge (if so equipped).
NORMAL CHARGE
Perform a normal charge using the charger installed in your home.
It takes approximately 4-7 hours for the 24 kW/h Li-ion battery and 5.5-9.5 hours for
the 30 kW/h Li-ion battery (if so equipped) to charge from empty to full with a 6.6 kW
charger (if so equipped).
To charge your vehicle:
• Place the power switch in the OFF position.
• Push the charge port lid opener switch located on the instrument panel to the left of
the steering wheel.

beep will sound once.
To stop charging:
• Press the button
3 on the charge connector
to release the lock and remove the charge
connector from the charge port.
• Close the charge port cap and the charge port lid.
TRICKLE CHARGE
Perform a trickle charge by connecting the Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE)
(if so equipped) to a dedicated 110-120V, 15A power outlet.
It takes approximately 21 hours to charge the
24kW/h Li-ion battery or 26 hours to charge
the 30kW/h Li-ion battery (if so equipped) from
discharged to charged.
To charge your vehicle:
• Place the power switch in the OFF position.

• Remove the safety cap from the charge connector.
• Connect the charge connector
6 to the
charge port 2. A beep will sound once.
• If plugging in the EVSE connector to a power
outlet, attach a string to the control box
and
hang it on a hook near the outlet or set it on a
suitable surface
7 off the ground.
To stop charging:
• Press the button
8 on the charge connector
to release the lock and remove the charge
connector from the charge port.
• Close the charge port cap and the charge port lid.
• Remove the EVSE plug from the power outlet, attach the safety cap to the charge
connector and store it in the case.
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:
• Place the power switch in the OFF position.
• 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.
• Align the groove of the charge connector with
the groove of the charge port then insert the
charge connector.
• Grasp the lock lever and then lock the charge connector.
• Follow the instructions on the quick charge equipment to start charging. When the
equipment is properly installed and ready to charge, a beep sounds twice and the
charging status indicator light will change.
To stop charging:
• Follow the instructions on the quick charge equipment.
• Unlock the charge connector and remove it from the vehicle.
• After closing the charge port cap, close the charge port lid.
For more information, refer to the “EV overview (section EV)” and the “Charging (section CH)” 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.
