warning light NISSAN LEAF 2019 Owner´s Manual

PASSENGER COMPARTMENT
WARNING
Never use a fuse of a higher or lower
amperage rating than that specified
on the fuse box cover. This could dam-
age the electrical system or electronic
control units or cause a fire. If any electrical equipment does not oper-
ate, check for an open fuse.
1. Make sure that the power switch and the
headlight switch are turned off.
2. Insert a screwdriver wrapped with the cloth
Cinto the slit1.
Use a cloth
Cto protect the fuse box
cover.
3. Then pull to remove the fuse box cover
2.
4. Remove the fuse with the fuse puller
3. 5. If the fuse is open
A, replace it with a
new fuse
B.
6. If a new fuse also opens, have the elec- trical system checked, and if necessary
repaired. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer for
this service.
Maintenance and do-it yourself8-21

If you have a flat tire, refer to “Flat tire” in
the “In case of emergency ” section.
TIRE PRESSURE
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)
WARNING
Radio waves could adversely affect
electric medical equipment. Those
who use a pacemaker should contact
the electric medical equipment manu-
facturer for the possible influences be-
fore use.
This vehicle is equipped with the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).
It monitors tire pressure of all tires.
When the low tire pressure warning
light is lit, and the “Tire Pressure Low -
Add Air” warning appears on the ve-
hicle information display, one or
more of your tires is significantly
under-inflated. The TPMS will activate only when the
vehicle is driven at speeds above
16 mph (25 km/h). Also, this system
may not detect a sudden drop in tire
pressure (for example a flat tire while
driving).
For additional information, refer to
“Low tire pressure warning light” in
the “Instruments and controls” sec-
tion, “Tire Pressure Monitoring Sys-
tem (TPMS)” in the “Starting and driv-
ing” section and “Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS)” in the “In
case of emergency” section of this
manual.
Tire inflation pressure
Check the pressure of the tires of ten
and always prior to long distance
trips. The recommended tire pres-
sure specifications are shown on the
F.M.V.S.S/C.M.V.S.S certification label
or Tire and Loading Information la-
bel under the “Cold Tire Pressure”
heading. The Tire and Loading Infor-
mation label is affixed to the driver
side center pillar. Tire pressures
should be checked regularly be-
cause:
• Most tires naturally lose air over
time.
• Tires can lose air suddenly when driven over potholes or other ob-
jects or if the vehicle strikes a curb
while parking.
WHEELS AND TIRES
8-30Maintenance and do-it yourself

•The original tires have built-in
tread wear indicators. When
wear indicators are visible, the
tire(s) should be replaced.
•Tires degrade with age and
use. Have tires, over 6 years old
checked by a qualified techni-
cian, because some tire dam-
age may not be obvious. Re-
place the tires as necessary to
prevent tire failure and pos-
sible personal injury.
•For additional information re-
garding tires, refer to “Impor-
tant Tire Safety Information”
(US) or “Tire Safety Informa-
tion” (Canada) in the Warranty
Information Booklet.
Replacing wheels and tires
When replacing a tire, use the same size,
tread design, speed rating and load carry-
ing capacity as originally equipped. For ad-
ditional information, refer to “Specifica-
tions” in the “Technical and consumerinformation” section of this manual for rec-
ommended types and sizes of tires and
wheels.
WARNING
• The use of tires other than those rec- ommended or the mixed use of tires
of different brands, construction
(bias, bias-belted or radial), or tread
patterns can adversely affect the
ride, braking, handling, Vehicle Dy-
namic Control (VDC) system, ground
clearance, body-to-tire clearance,
tire chain clearance, speedometer
calibration, headlight aim and bum-
per height. Some of these effects
may lead to accidents and could re-
sult in serious personal injury.
• If your vehicle was originally equipped with four tires that were
the same size and you are only re-
placing two of the four tires, install
the new tires on the rear axle. Plac-
ing new tires on the front axle may
cause loss of vehicle control in some
driving conditions and cause an ac-
cident and personal injury. • If the wheels are changed for any
reason, always replace with wheels
which have the same off-set dimen-
sion. Wheels of a different off-set
could cause premature tire wear, de-
grade vehicle handling characteris-
tics, affect the VDC system and/or
interference with the brake discs.
Such interference can lead to de-
creased braking efficiency and/or
early brake pad/shoe wear. For ad-
ditional information on wheel-off
set dimensions, refer to “Wheels and
tires” in the “Technical and con-
sumer information” section of this
manual.
• When replacing a wheel without the TPMS such as the spare tire, the
TPMS will not function when a wheel
is replaced, the TPMS will not func-
tion and the low tire pressure warn-
ing light will flash for approximately
1 minute. The light will remain on af-
ter 1 minute. It is recommended that
you visit a NISSAN certified LEAF
dealer for this service.
• Replacing tires with those not origi- nally specified by NISSAN could af-
fect the proper operation of the
TPMS.
Maintenance and do-it yourself8-39

• The TPMS sensor may be damaged ifit is not handled correctly. Be careful
when handling the TPMS sensor.
• When replacing the TPMS sensor, the ID registration may be required.
It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN certified LEAF dealer for ID
registration.
• Do not use a valve stem cap that is not specified by NISSAN. The valve
stem cap may become stuck.
• Be sure that the valve stem caps are correctly fitted. Otherwise the valve
may be clogged up with dirt and
cause a malfunction or loss of pres-
sure.
• Do not install a damaged or de- formed wheel or tire even if it has
been repaired. Such wheels or tires
could have structural damage and
could fail without warning.
• The use of retread tire is not recom- mended.
• For additional information regard- ing tires, refer to “Important Tire
Safety Information” (US) or “Tire
Safety Information” (Canada) in the
Warranty Information Booklet.Wheel balance
Unbalanced wheels may affect vehicle
handling and tire life. Even with regular use,
wheels can get out of balance. Therefore,
they should be balanced as required.
Wheel balance service should be per-
formed with the wheels off the vehicle.
Spin balancing the wheels on the vehicle
could lead to mechanical damage.
For additional information regarding tires,
refer to “Important Tire Safety Information”
(US) or “Tire Safety Information” (Canada) in
the Warranty Information Booklet.
Care of wheels
For additional information on care of wheels,
refer to “Cleaning exterior” in the “Appear-
ance and care” section of this manual.
EMERGENCY TIRE PUNCTURE
REPAIR KIT
The emergency tire puncture repair kit
(Emergency Tire Sealant) is supplied with
the vehicle instead of a spare tire. It can be
used to temporarily repair minor tire punc-
tures. If possible, have the vehicle towed to a fa-
cility that can repair or replace the flat tire.
Using the emergency tire puncture repair
kit may cause a malfunction of the tire
pressure sensor and cause the low tire
pressure warning light to illuminate.
For additional information, refer to “Flat tire”
in the “In case of emergency” section of this
manual.
