in the ON position, and turns off when the
power switch is placed in the READY to
drive position.
When this warning light illuminates, a
chime sounds and the following warnings
are also displayed.
• Master warning (red)
• EV system warning light
The following messages also flash on and
off on the vehicle information display.
If the vehicle is being driven; “Stop the ve-
hicle” and if the vehicle is stopped; “When
parked apply parking brake”. When these
messages flash, immediately stop the ve-
hicle in a safe location, pull the parking
brake switch and push the P (Park) position
switch on the shif t lever to place the vehicle
in the P (Park) position. The warning on the

The indicator light illuminates when the
headlights come on while the headlight
switch is in the AUTO position with the high
beam selected. This indicates that the high
beam assist system is operational. For ad-
ditional information, refer to “Headlight
beam select” in this section.

Plug-in indicator light
This light illuminates when the charge con-
nector is connected to the vehicle and
blinks during charging.
NOTE:
If the charge connector is connected to
the vehicle, the power switch cannot be
placed in the READY to drive position.
Power limitation indicator
light
When the power limitation indicator light
is illuminated, the power provided to the
traction motor is reduced. Therefore the
vehicle is not as responsive when the
accelerator is depressed while the power
limitation light is illuminated.
When this light comes on, the warning dis-
play appears within the vehicle information
display. Follow the instructions provided on
the vehicle information display.
This light illuminates in the following condi-
tions.
• Li-ion battery available charge is ex-tremely low
• Li-ion battery temperature is very lowj (approximately −4°F (−20°C)
• When the temperature of the EV system is high (motor, inverter, coolant system,
Li-ion battery etc.)
• When the EV system has a malfunction. If the low battery charge indicator is illumi-
nated, charge the Li-ion battery as soon as
possible.
If this indicator illuminates because the Li-
ion battery is cold due to low outside tem-
peratures, move the vehicle to a warmer
location. The Li-ion battery temperature
may be increased by charging the Li-ion
battery.
If the light illuminates when the EV system
becomes hot due to continuous hill climb-
ing, either continue driving at a slower safe
speed or stop the vehicle in a safe location.
If this indicator does not turn off, have the
system checked. It is recommended that
you visit a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer for
this service.
The indicator illuminates when a part in the
EV system has malfunctioned. If the indica-
tor illuminates in a situation other than
those described above, or if it does not turn
off, there may be a system malfunction.
Have the system checked. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN certified
LEAF dealer for this service.

WARNING
Power limitation mode can result in re-
duced power and vehicle speed. The
reduced speed may be lower than
other traffic, which could increase the
chance of a collision. Be especially
careful when driving. If the vehicle can-
not maintain a safe driving speed, pull
to the side of the road in a safe area.
Charge the Li-ion battery if the charge
is low or allow the Li-ion battery to
cool.
NOTE:
You can reduce charging time and keep
the Li-ion battery temperature lower if
you:
• Charge more frequently in smaller
amounts, and
• Keep the battery at a higher level of
charge.
