POwer LIMITaTION INDICaTOr LIGHT
When the power limitation indicator light illuminates,
power provided to the traction motor is reduced.
This light illuminates in the following conditions:
• when the battery is close to empty
• the battery temperature has reached its upper or
lower limits
• or when a malfunction has occurred in the EV system.
If the power limitation indicator light is illuminated,
charge the Li-ion battery as soon as possible.
For more information, refer to the “eV Overview (section eV)” of your Owner’s Manual.
TIre PreSSure MONITOrING SYSTeM (TPMS)
A CHECk TIRE PRESSURE warning message will
appear in the dot matrix liquid crystal display
01
and
the TPMS light will illuminate when one or more tires
are low on pressure and air is needed.
After tire pressures are adjusted, drive the vehicle at
speeds above 16 MPH (25km/h) and the warning and
indicator light will disappear.
When the low tire pressure warning light flashes for
approximately 1 minute and then remains on, the
TPMS is not functioning properly. Have the system
checked by a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer.
Tire pressure rises and falls depending on the heat
caused by the vehicle’s operation and the outside
temperature. Low outside temperature can lower the
temperature of the air inside the tire, which can cause
a lower tire inflation pressure. This may cause the low
tire pressure warning light to illuminate. If the warning
light illuminates in low ambient temperature, check the
tire pressure in all four tires.
For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)” and the “Starting and driving (section 5)” of your
Owner’s Manual.
