How to read the display:
The displayed charging time is calculated
based on the electrical (supplied to the
charger), which is selected in the [Charge
Time Screen] setting under the EV Settings
menu. The display shows:
O1The currently remaining Li-ion battery
charge level.
O2The estimated charging time to reach
each percentage (25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) of
the Li-ion battery level.
• If the estimated charging time is longer than 24 hours, [Over 24hr] is displayed. • 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 [---].O3The currently selected electrical power
(supplied to the charger).
O4The estimated charge level of the Li-ion
battery to be reached when the remaining
charging time has passed.
O5The electrical power that is actually sup-
plied while quick charging.
O6The remaining charging time before the
quick charger is shut off.
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 charg- ing time is calculated based on the
electrical power that is currently being
supplied 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
displayed electrical power returns to
the selected electrical power.

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

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.

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.

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.

Indicators for maintenance
These indicators appear when the cus-
tomer set distance comes for replacing
tires or other maintenance items. You can
set or reset the distance for replacing tires
and other maintenance items.
WARNING
The tire replacement indicator is not a
substitute for regular tire checks, in-
cluding tire pressure checks. For addi-
tional information, refer to “Changing
wheels and tires” in the “Maintenance
and do-it-yourself ” section of this
manual. Many factors including tire in-
flation, alignment, driving habits and
road conditions affect tire wear and
when tires should be replaced. Setting
the tire replacement indicator for a cer-
tain driving distance does not mean
your tires will last that long. Use the tire
replacement indicator as a guide only
and always perform regular tire
checks. Failure to perform regular tire
checks, including tire pressure checks
could result in tire failure. Serious ve-
hicle damage could occur and may lead
to a collision, which could result in seri-
ous personal injury or death. For scheduled maintenance items and in-
tervals, refer to the NISSAN Service and
Maintenance Guide.
