light NISSAN LEAF 2019 Owner´s Manual

The side air bags and curtain air bags
operate only when the power switch is in
the ON position.
Af ter turning the power switch to the ON
position, the supplemental air bag warn-
ing light illuminates. The supplemental
air bag warning light will turn off af ter
about 7 seconds if the systems are op-
erational.
WARNING
• Do not place any objects near the seatback of the front seats. Also, do
not place any objects (an umbrella,
bag, etc.) between the front door fin-
isher and the front seat. Such ob-
jects may become dangerous pro-
jectiles and cause injury if a side air
bag inflates.
• Right af ter inflation, several side air bag and curtain air bag system com-
ponents will be hot. Do not touch
them; you may severely burn your-
self. • No unauthorized changes should be
made to any components or wiring
of the side air bag and curtain air
bag systems. This is to prevent dam-
age to or accidental inflation of the
side air bag and curtain air bag sys-
tems.
• Do not make unauthorized changes to your vehicle’s electrical system,
suspension system or side panel.
This could affect proper operation of
the side air bag and curtain air bag
systems.
• Tampering with the side air bag sys- tem may result in serious personal
injury. For example, do not change
the front seats by placing material
near the seatbacks or by installing
additional trim material, such as
seat covers, around the side air bag. • It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN certified LEAF dealer for
work around and on the side air bag
and curtain air bag systems. It is also
recommended that you visit a
NISSAN certified LEAF dealer for in-
stallation of electrical equipment.
The Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS) wiring harnesses* should not
be modified or disconnected. Unau-
thorized electrical test equipment
and probing devices should not be
used on the side air bag and curtain
supplemental air bag systems.
*The SRS wiring harness connectors are
yellow and orange for easy identifica-
tion.
When selling your vehicle, we request that
you inform the buyer about the side air bag
and curtain air bag systems and guide the
buyer to the appropriate sections in this
Owner’s Manual.
Safety–Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-59

Seat belt with pretensioner(s)
(front seats)
WARNING
• The pretensioner(s) cannot be re- used af ter activation. They must be
replaced together with the retractor
and buckle as a unit.
• If the vehicle becomes involved in a collision but pretensioner(s) are not
activated, be sure to have the pre-
tensioner system checked and, if
necessary, replaced. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN cer-
tified LEAF dealer for this service.
• No unauthorized changes should be made to any components or wiring
of the pretensioner system. This is to
prevent damage to or accidental ac-
tivation of the pretensioner(s). Tam-
pering with the pretensioner system
may result in serious personal injury. • It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN certified LEAF dealer for
work around and on the preten-
sioner system. It is also recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN cer-
tified LEAF dealer for installation of
electrical equipment. Unauthorized
electrical test equipment and prob-
ing devices should not be used on
the pretensioner system.
• If you need to dispose of the preten- sioner(s) or scrap the vehicle, it is
recommended that you visit a
NISSAN certified LEAF dealer for this
service. Incorrect disposal proce-
dures could cause personal injury.
The pretensioner system may activate with
the supplemental air bag system in certain
types of collisions. Working with the seat belt
retractor, the pretensioner(s) help tighten
the seat belt when the vehicle becomes in-
volved in certain types of collisions, helping
to restrain front seat occupants.
The pretensioner(s) are encased with the
seat belt retractor and to the seat belt an-
chor affixed to the floor of the vehicle.
These seat belts are used the same way as
conventional seat belts. When pretensioner(s) activate, smoke is re-
leased and a loud noise may be heard. This
smoke is not harmful and does not indi-
cate a fire. Care should be taken not to
inhale it, as it may cause irritation and
choking. Those with a history of a breath-
ing condition should get fresh air promptly.
Af ter the pretensioner(s’) activation, load
limiters allow the seat belt to release web-
bing (if necessary) to reduce forces against
the chest.
The supplemental air bag warning light
is used to indicate malfunctions in
the pretensioner system. For additional in-
formation, refer to “Supplemental air bag
warning light” in this section. If the opera-
tion of the supplemental air bag warning
light indicates there is a malfunction, have
the system checked. It is recommended
that you visit a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer
for this service.
When selling your vehicle, we request that
you inform the buyer about the pretensioner
system and guide the buyer to the appropri-
ate sections in this Owner’s Manual.

A. Supplemental front-impact air bag sys-
tem warning labels
The warning labels are located on the sur-
face of the sun visors.
SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG WARNING
LIGHT
The supplemental air bag warning light,
displaying
in the instrument panel,
monitors the circuits of the Air bag Control
Unit (ACU), satellite sensors, crash zone
sensor, occupant classification sensor, the
supplemental front-impact air bag, front
seat-mounted side-impact supplemental
air bag, roof-mounted curtain side-impact

minder, unless it is damaged, the supple-
mental air bag warning light will remain
illuminated af ter inflation has occurred.
These systems should be repaired and/or
replaced as soon as possible. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN certified
LEAF dealer for this service.
When maintenance work is required on the
vehicle, the front air bags, side air bags,
curtain air bags and pretensioner(s) and related parts should be pointed out to the
person performing the maintenance. The
power switch should always be in the LOCK
position when working under the hood or
inside the vehicle.
WARNING
• Once a front air bag, side air bag or curtain air bag has inflated, the air
bag module will not function again
and must be replaced. Additionally,
the activated pretensioner(s) must
also be replaced. The air bag module
and pretensioner(s) should be re-
placed. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer
for this service. The air bag modules
and pretensioner system cannot be
repaired.
• The front air bag, side air bag and curtain air bag systems, and preten-
sioner system should be inspected if
there is any damage to the front end
or side portion of the vehicle. It is
recommended that you visit a
NISSAN certified LEAF dealer for this
service. • If you need to dispose of a supple-
mental air bag or pretensioner sys-
tem or scrap the vehicle, it is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN
certified LEAF dealer for this service.
Correct supplemental air bag and
pretensioner system disposal pro-
cedures are set forth in the appro-
priate NISSAN Service Manual. Incor-
rect disposal procedures could
cause personal injury.
• If there is an impact to your vehicle from any direction, your Occupant
Classification Sensor (OCS) should
be checked. It is recommended that
you visit a NISSAN certified LEAF
dealer to verif y it is still functioning
correctly. The OCS should be
checked even if no air bags deploy
as a result of the impact. Failure to
verif y proper OCS function may re-
sult in an improper air bag deploy-
ment resulting in injury or death.

LI-ION BATTERY TEMPERATURE
GAUGE
The gauge indicates the temperature of
the Li-ion battery.
The temperature of the Li-ion battery is
within the normal range when the display
is within the zone
1shown in the illustra-
tion.
The temperature of the Li-ion battery var-
ies according to the outside air tempera-
ture and driving conditions.
NOTE:
• If the display indicates that the tem-
perature of the Li-ion battery is near the
red zone end of the normal range, re-
duce vehicle speed to decrease the
temperature. If the indicator is over the
normal range, the power provided to
the traction motor is reduced when the
power limitation indicator light is illumi-
nated. Therefore, the vehicle is not as
responsive when the accelerator is de-
pressed while the power limitation light
is illuminated. For additional informa-
tion, refer to “Power limitation indicator
light” in this section.
• If the outside temperature is extremely
low, the Li-ion temperature gauge may
not display a temperature reading. The
vehicle may not be able to be put in the
READY to drive mode. Have the system
checked. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer for
this service.
