WARNING
• Radio waves could adversely affect
electric medical equipment. Those
who use a pacemaker should contact
the electric medical equipment
manufacturer for the possible influ-
ences before use.
• If the light does not illuminate when
the power switch is placed in the ON
position, have the vehicle checked. It
is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN certified LEAF dealer as soon
as possible for this service.
• If the light illuminates while driving,
avoid sudden steering maneuvers or
abrupt braking, reduce vehicle
speed, pull off the road to a safe loca-
tion and stop the vehicle as soon as
possible. Driving with under-inflated
tires may permanently damage the
tires and increase the likelihood of
tire failure. Serious vehicle damage
could occur and may lead to an acci-
dent and could result in serious per-
sonal injury or death. Check the tire
pressure for all four tires. Adjust the
tire pressure to the recommended
COLD tire pressure shown on the Tire and Loading Information label to
turn the low tire pressure warning
light OFF. If the light still illuminates
while driving af ter adjusting the tire
pressure, a tire may be flat or the
TPMS may be malfunctioning. If you
have a flat tire, replace it with a re-
placement tire as soon as possible. If
no tire is flat and all tires are properly
inflated, have the vehicle checked. It
is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN certified LEAF dealer for this
service.
• When replacing a wheel without the
TPMS such as a spare tire, the TPMS
will not function and the low tire
pressure warning light will flash for
approximately 1 minute. The light will
remain on af ter 1 minute. Have the
system checked. It is recommended
that you visit a NISSAN certified LEAF
dealer as soon as possible for tire re-
placement and/or system resetting.
• Replacing tires with those not origi-
nally specified by NISSAN could af-
fect the proper operation of the
TPMS.CAUTION
• The TPMS is not a substitute for the
regular tire pressure check. Be sure
to check the tire pressure regularly.
• If the vehicle is being driven at
speeds of less than 16 mph (25 km/h),
the TPMS may not operate correctly.
• Be sure to install the specified size of
tires to the four wheels correctly.
Master warning light
(red/yellow)
There are two types of master warning
lights: yellow and red. These lights illumi-
nate if any warning lights or indicator lights
are illuminated or if various vehicle infor-
mation warnings appear in the vehicle in-
formation display.

This light illuminates when a red warning
light within the vehicle information display
is illuminated or when a warning is dis-
played on the vehicle information display.
Power steering
warning light
When the power switch is in the ON posi-
tion, the electric power steering warning
light illuminates and turns off when the
power switch is placed in the READY to
drive position. This indicates the electric
power steering system is operational.
If the electric power steering warning light
illuminates while the READY to drive indica-
tor light is ON, it may indicate the electric
power steering system is not functioning
properly and may need servicing. Have the
electric power steering system checked. It
is recommended that you visit a NISSAN
certified LEAF dealer for this service.
When the electric power steering warning
light illuminates while the READY to drive
indicator is ON, the power assist to the
steering will cease operation but you will
still have control of the vehicle. At this time,
greater steering efforts are required to op-erate the steering wheel, especially in
sharp turns and at low speeds.
For additional information, refer to “Power
steering system” in the “Starting and driv-
ing” section of this manual.
Rear Automatic Braking
(RAB) warning light
This light comes on when the power switch
is placed in the ON position. It turns off af ter
the EV system is started.
This light illuminates when the RAB system
is turned off in the vehicle information dis-
play.
If the light illuminates when the RAB sys-
tem is on, it may indicate that the system is
unavailable. For additional information, re-
fer to “Rear Automatic Braking (RAB)” in the
“Starting and driving” section of this
manual.
Seat belt
warning light
The light and chime remind you to fasten
your seat belts. The light illuminates when-
ever the power switch is placed in the ON
position, and will remain illuminated until
the driver’s seat belt is fastened. At thesame time, the chime will sound for ap-
proximately 6 seconds unless the driver’s
seat belt is securely fastened.
The seat belt warning light for the front
passenger will illuminate if the seat belt is
not fastened when the front passenger’s
seat is occupied. The front passenger seat
belt warning light does not activate until 5
seconds af ter the power switch is in the ON
position.
For additional information, refer to “Seat
belts” in the “Safety — Seats, seat belts and
supplemental restraint system” section of
this manual for precautions on seat belt
usage.

Af ter turning the power switch to the ON
position, the supplemental air bag warning
light will illuminate. The supplemental air
bag warning light will turn off af ter about 7
seconds if the supplemental front air bag
and supplemental side air bag, curtain
side-impact air bag systems and/or pre-
tensioner seat belt are operational.

•Do not place anything hard or heavy
on the seat or pierce it with a pin or
similar object. This may result in
damage to the heater.
• Any liquid spilled on the heated seat
should be removed immediately with
a dry cloth.
• When cleaning the seat, never use
gasoline, thinner, or any similar
materials.
• If any malfunctions are found or the
heated seat does not operate, turn
the switch off and have the system
checked. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer
for this service. The heated steering wheel system is de-
signed to operate only when the surface
temperature of the steering wheel is below
approximately 68°F (20°C).
Push the heated steering wheel switch to
warm the steering wheel when the power
switch is in the ACC or ON position.
If the surface temperature of the steering
wheel is below approximately 68°F (20°C),
the system will heat the steering wheel and
cycle off and on to maintain a temperature
above 68°F (20°C). The indicator light will
remain on as long as the system is on. Push the switch again to turn the heated
steering wheel system off manually. The
indicator light turns off.
NOTE:
• If the surface temperature of the steer-
ing wheel is above 68°F (20°C) when the
switch is turned on, the system will not
heat the steering wheel. This is not a
malfunction.
• If the outside temperature is low (ap- proximately 50°F (10°C) or less) and the
Climate Control Timer or Remote Cli-
mate Control are used, the steering
wheel heater will automatically oper-
ate in the following conditions.– When using the Climate Control Timer: Operates from approximately
15 minutes before the set departure
time until the set departure time.
– When using Remote Climate Control: Operates 15 minutes af ter Remote
Climate Control starts.
• The heated steering wheel consumes less power than the heater and can be
used to either help extend vehicle
range by reducing heater use or to
maximize comfort by supplementing
the heater.

The dynamic driver assistance switch is
used to temporarily turn on and off the
Intelligent Lane Intervention (I-LI) and Intel-
ligent Blind Spot Intervention (I-BSI) sys-
tems that are activated using the settings
menu of the vehicle information display.
The I-LI and I-BSI systems must be turned
on with the dynamic driver assistance
switch every time the power switch is
placed in the ON position.
The I-LI system warns the driver with a
warning and a chime, and helps assist the
driver to return the vehicle to the center of
the traveling lane by applying the brakes to
the lef t or right wheels individually (for ashort period of time). For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Intelligent Lane Interven-
tion (I-LI)” in the “Starting and driving” sec-
tion and “Vehicle information display” in the
“Instruments and controls” section of this
manual.
The I-BSI system helps alert the driver of
other vehicles in adjacent lanes when
changing lanes, and helps assist the driver
to return the vehicle to the center of the
traveling lane. For additional information,
refer to “Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention
(I-BSI)” in the “Starting and driving” section
of this manual.
The Steering Assist switch is used to en-
able and disable the Steering Assist sys-
tem that is activated using the settings
menu of the vehicle information display.
The Steering Assist system controls the
steering system, when ProPILOT Assist is
engaged, to help keep your vehicle near
the center of the lane when driving. For
additional information, refer to “ProPILOT
Assist" and “Intelligent Lane Intervention (I-
LI)” in the “Starting and driving” section of
this manual.
