2-14 Instruments and controls
— If the 12-volt charge warning light
turns off when the vehicle is in the
READY to drive mode, the 12-volt
battery may be discharged or there
may be a malfunction in the 12-volt
battery related system.
— If the 12-volt charge warning light
continues to illuminate when the

or Anti-lock Braking
System (ABS) warning light
When the power switch is in the ON or READY
to drive position, the Anti-lock Braking System
(ABS) warning light illuminates and then turns
off. This indicates the ABS is operational.
If the ABS warning light illuminates while the
power switch is in READY to drive position, or
while driving, it may indicate the ABS is not
functioning properly. Have the system checked
by a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer.
If an ABS malfunction occurs, the anti-lock
function is turned off. The brake system then
operates normally, but without anti-lock assis-
tance. (See “Brake system” in the “5. Starting
and driving” section.)
Approaching Vehicle Sound
for Pedestrians (VSP) system warn-
ing light
The Approaching Vehicle Sound for Pedestrians
(VSP) system warning light is located on the
instrument panel.
This light comes on if there is a malfunction in
the VSP system.
If the VSP system warning light illuminates while
the power switch is in ON position, or in the
READY to drive position, it may indicate the VSP
system is not functioning properly. Have the
system checked by a NISSAN certified LEAF
dealer.
See “Approaching Vehicle Sound for Pedes-
trians (VSP) system” in the “EV. Overview”
section.
BRAKE system warning light
(yellow)
This light functions for both the cooperative
regenerative brake and the electronically driven
intelligent brake systems. When the power
switch is placed in the ON position or in the
READY to drive position, the light remains
illuminated for about 2 or 3 seconds. If the light
illuminates at any other time, it may indicate that
the cooperative regenerative brake and/or the
electronically driven intelligent brake systems
are not functioning properly. Have the system
checked by a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer. If
the BRAKE warning light (red) also illuminates,
stop the vehicle immediately and contact a
NISSAN certified LEAF dealer. For additional
information, see “Brakes” in the “5. Starting and
driving” section.
