warning light NISSAN LEAF 2022 Owner´s Manual

•When using a wheel without the
TPMS such as the 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 your
tires replaced and/or TPMS system
reset as soon as possible. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN cer-
tified LEAF dealer for this service.
• Replacing tires with those not origi-
nally specified by NISSAN could af-
fect the proper operation of the
TPMS.
• Do not inject any tire liquid or aerosol
tire sealant into the tires, as this may
cause a malfunction of the tire pres-
sure sensors.
CAUTION
• The TPMS may not function properly
when the wheels are equipped with
tire chains or the wheels are buried in
snow. •
Do not place metalized film or any
metal parts (antenna, etc.) on the
windows. This may cause poor re-
ception of the signals from the tire
pressure sensors, and the TPMS will
not function properly.
Some devices and transmitters may tem-
porarily interfere with the operation of the
TPMS and cause the low tire pressure
warning light to illuminate. Some examples
are:
• Facilities or electric devices using similar radio frequencies that are near the
vehicle.
• If a transmitter set to similar frequencies is being used in or near the vehicle.
• If a computer (or similar equipment) or a DC/AC converter is being used in or near
the vehicle.
The low tire pressure warning light may
illuminate in the following cases:
• If the vehicle is equipped with a wheel and tire without TPMS.
• If the TPMS has been replaced and the ID has not been registered.
• If the wheel is not originally specified by NISSAN. FCC Notice:

TPMS with Easy-Fill Tire Alert
When tire pressure is low, the low tire pres-
sure warning light illuminates.
This vehicle provides visual and audible
signals to help you inflate the tires to the
recommended COLD tire pressure.
Vehicle set-up:
1. Park the vehicle in a safe and level place.
2. Apply the parking brake and push the P(Park) position switch on the shif t lever.
3. Place the power switch in the ON posi- tion. Do not place in the READY to drive
mode.
Operation:
1. Add air to the tire.
2. Af ter a few seconds, the hazard indica- tors will start flashing.
3. When the designated pressure is reached, the horn beeps once and the
hazard indicators stop flashing.
4. Perform the above steps for each tire. • If the tire is over-inflated more thanapproximately 4 psi (30 kPa), the horn
beeps and the hazard indicators flash
three times. To correct the pressure,
push the core of the valve stem on the tire briefly to release pressure. When
the pressure reaches the designated
pressure, the horn beeps once.
• If the hazard indicator does not flash within approximately 15 seconds af ter
starting to inflate the tire, it indicates
that the Easy-Fill Tire Alert is not
operating.
• The TPMS will not activate the Easy-Fill Tire Alert under the following
conditions:– If there is interference from an exter- nal device or transmitter.
– The air pressure from the inflation device is not sufficient to inflate the
tire, such as those using a power
socket.
– If electrical equipment is being used in or near the vehicle.
– There is a malfunction in the TPMS.
– There is a malfunction in the horn or hazard indicators.
– If the Easy-Fill Tire Alert does not op- erate due to TPMS interference,
move the vehicle about 3 f t (1 m)
backward or forward and try again.
If the Easy-Fill Tire Alert is not working, use a
tire pressure gauge.
AVOIDING COLLISION AND
ROLLOVER
WARNING
Failure to operate this vehicle in a safe
and prudent manner may result in loss
of control or an accident.
Be alert and drive defensively at all times.
Obey all traffic regulations. Avoid excessive
speed, high speed cornering, or sudden
steering maneuvers because these driving
practices could cause you to lose control of
your vehicle.
As with any vehicle, loss of control could
result in a collision with other vehicles or
objects or cause the vehicle to roll over,
particularly if the loss of control causes
the vehicle to slide sideways.
Be attentive at all times, and avoid driving
when tired. Never drive when under the in-
fluence of alcohol or drugs (including pre-
scription or over-the-counter drugs which
may cause drowsiness). Always wear your
seat belt as outlined in “Seat belts” (P. 7-6),
and also instruct your passengers to do so.
Seat belts help reduce the risk of injury in
collisions and rollovers.
Starting and driving5-7

4. Gradually steer the vehicle to a safe lo-cation off the road and away from traffic
if possible.
5. Lightly apply the brake pedal to gradu- ally stop the vehicle.
6. Turn on the hazard warning flashers and contact a roadside emergency service
to change the tire. For additional infor-
mation, see “Flat tire” (P. 6-3).
DRINKING ALCOHOL/DRUGS AND
DRIVING
WARNING
Never drive under the influence of alco-
hol or drugs. Alcohol in the blood-
stream reduces coordination, delays
reaction time and impairs judgement.
Driving af ter drinking alcohol increases
the likelihood of being involved in an
accident injuring yourself and others.
Additionally, if you are injured in an ac-
cident, alcohol can increase the sever-
ity of the injury. NISSAN is committed to safe driving. How-
ever, you must choose not to drive under
the influence of alcohol. Every year thou-
sands of people are injured or killed in
alcohol-related accidents. Although the lo-
cal laws vary on what is considered to be
legally intoxicated, the fact is that alcohol
affects all people differently and most
people underestimate the effects of
alcohol.
Remember, drinking and driving don’t mix!
That is true for drugs, too (over-the-
counter, prescription, and illegal drugs). Do
not drive if your ability to operate your ve-
hicle is impaired by alcohol, drugs, or some
other physical condition.
WARNING
• Do not operate the power switch
while driving the vehicle except in an
emergency. (The EV system shuts
down when the power switch is
pushed three consecutive times or
the power switch is pushed and held
for more than 2 seconds.) If the EV
system stops while the vehicle is be-
ing driven, this could lead to a crash
and serious injury.
• When turning off the power switch,
make sure to shif t the shif t lever to
the P (Park) position even if the ve-
hicle is maintaining a stop and hold
using the e-pedal. This will prevent
the vehicle from moving or rolling
unexpectedly, which could result in
serious personal injury or property
damage.
Before operating the power switch, make
sure the vehicle is in the P (Park) position.
PUSH-BUTTON POWER SWITCH
Starting and driving5-9

4. Push the power switch while depressingthe brake pedal within 10 seconds af ter
the chime sounds. The power switch
position changes to the READY to drive
mode.
Af ter step 3 is performed, if the power
switch is pushed without depressing the
brake pedal, the power switch position will
change to ACC.
NOTE:
• When the power switch is placed in the ACC or ON position or READY to drive
mode by the above procedure, the EV
system operation for discharged Intel-
ligent Key system indicator appears on
the vehicle information display even if
the Intelligent Key is inside the vehicle.
This is not a malfunction. To stop the
warning indicator from blinking, touch
the power switch with the Intelligent
Key again.
• If the Intelligent Key battery discharge indicator appears on the vehicle infor-
mation display, replace the battery as
soon as possible. For additional infor-
mation, see “NISSAN Intelligent Key®
battery replacement” (P. 8-19).
NISSAN VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER
SYSTEM
The NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System
will not allow the power switch to be placed
in the READY to drive position without the
use of the registered key.
If the power switch fails to place the vehicle
into the READY to drive position using the
registered key, it may be due to interfer-
ence caused by another registered key, an
automated toll road device or automated
payment device on the key ring. Restart the
EV system using the following procedure:
1. Leave the power switch in the ON posi- tion for approximately 5 seconds.
2. Place the power switch in the OFF posi- tion and wait approximately 10 seconds.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 again.
4. Place the power switch in the READY to drive position while holding the device
(which may have caused the interfer-
ence) separate from the registered key.
If this procedure allows the power
switch to be placed in the READY to drive
mode, NISSAN recommends placing the
registered key on a separate key ring to
avoid interference from other devices. • Make sure that the area around the ve-
hicle is clear.
• Check fluid levels such as coolant, brake fluid, and windshield-washer fluid as fre-
quently as possible.
• Check that all windows and lights are clean.
• Visually inspect tires for their appearance and condition. Also check tires for proper
inflation.
• Check that all doors are closed.
• Position the seat and adjust the head restraints/headrests.
• Adjust the inside and outside mirrors.
• Fasten seat belts and ask all passengers to do likewise.
• Check the operation of the warning lights when the power switch is pushed to the
ON position. For additional information,
see “Warning lights, indicator lights and
audible reminders” (P. 2-14).

WARNING
Never rely solely on the e-Pedal system,
as there is a performance limit to the
system function. Always drive carefully
and attentively. The brake pedal should
be operated to slow or stop the vehicle,
depending on traffic or road
conditions.
The e-Pedal system enables the driver to
slow or stop the vehicle or to keep the ve-
hicle stopped by operating only the accel-
erator pedal. This system helps to keep the
driver from moving his/her foot between
the accelerator pedal and the brake pedal.
