• When the currently remaining Li-ion bat-tery level exceeds each percentage level,
the charging time will be displayed as [---].
• When the Li-ion battery was fully charge, all the charging time information will be
displayed as [---].
3The currently selected electrical power
(supplied to the charger).
4The estimated charge level of the Li-ion
battery to be reached when the remaining
charging time has passed.
5The remaining charging time before the
quick charger is shut off.
6The electrical power that is actually sup-
plied while quick charging.
When charging is not performed, pushing
the button on the steering wheel will
switch the display to the [Charge Time
Screen]. Select the electrical power that
you wish to show in the Estimated Charge
Time display.
NOTE:
• While charging, the estimated charging
time is calculated based on the electri-
cal power that is currently being sup-
plied to the charger.
•
The electrical power for the normal
charging is displayed at a fixed value.
Therefore, the displayed electrical power
may differ from the one that is actually
supplied.
• For the quick charging, the electrical
power display will change to the actual
electrical power while charging. If the
charging is stopped or the power sup-
ply is stopped (unplugged, etc.), the dis-
played electrical power returns to the
selected electrical power.
• The displayed charging time on each
percentage level is the current estima-
tion, and the actual charging time will
vary depending on the conditions of the
vehicle or the state of charge.
• Right af ter starting of stopping charge,
the estimated charging time may differ
from the actual charging time. The ac-
tual charging time will be displayed
af ter a period of time.

High Beam Assist indicator
light (if so equipped)
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.
High beam indicator light
(blue)
This light illuminates when the headlight
high beam is on and goes out when the low
beam is selected.
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.
Instruments and controls2-25

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.
READY to drive indicator
light
The READY to drive indicator light illumi-
nates when the EV system is powered and
the vehicle may be driven. The READY to drive indicator light will turn
off in the following conditions.
• Certain EV system malfunctions.
• The READY to drive indicator light turns off
immediately before the Li-ion battery is
completely discharged. If the Li-ion bat-
tery becomes completely discharged, the
vehicle must be charged in order to be
driven. For additional information, refer to
“Low battery charge indicator” in this
section.
Security indicator light
This light blinks when the power switch is in
the ACC, OFF or LOCK position. This func-
tion indicates the security system
equipped on the vehicle is operational.
If the security system is malfunctioning,
this light will remain on while the power
switch is in the ON position. For additional
information, refer to “Security systems” in
this section.
Slip indicator light
This indicator will blink when the VDC sys-
tem or the traction control system is oper-
ating, thus alerting that the vehicle is near-
ing its traction limits. The road surface may
be slippery.
You may feel or hear the system working;
this is normal. The light will blink for a few
seconds af ter the VDC system stops limit-
ing wheel spin.
The indicator light also comes on when
you place the power switch in the ON posi-
tion.
The light will turn off af ter approximately
2 seconds if the system is operational. If the
light does not come on, have the system
checked. It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN certified LEAF dealer for this ser-
vice.
Turn signal/hazard
indicator lights
This light flashes when the turn signal
switch lever or hazard switch is turned on.

WARNING
• The air conditioning cooling func- tion operates only when the power
switch is in the ON position or when
the READY to drive indicator light is
ON.
• Do not leave children or adults who would normally require the assis-
tance of others alone in your vehicle.
Pets should also not be lef t alone.
They could accidentally injure them-
selves or others through inadver-
tent operation of the vehicle. Also,
on hot, sunny days, temperatures in
a closed vehicle could quickly be-
come high enough to causes severe
or possibly fatal injuries to people or
animals. • Do not use the recirculation mode
for long periods as it may cause the
interior air to become stale and the
windows to fog up.
NOTE:
•Odors from inside and outside the ve-
hicle can build up in the air conditioner
unit. Odor can enter the passenger
compartment through the vents.
• When parking, set the heater or air con-
ditioner controls to turn off air recircu-
lation to allow fresh air into the passen-
ger compartment. This should help
reduce odors inside the vehicle. The climate control system (air conditioner
and heater functions) can be operated
when the READY to drive indicator light is
illuminated. However, while charging, the
climate control system can be used when
the power switch is in the ON position.
The fan, heater and air conditioning can be
turned on manually, using the timer func-
tion and using the remote climate control
function.
These functions operate in the following
conditions.
