NISSAN 2012 LEAF - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 156)

Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC)
warning light
The light will blink when the Vehicle Dynamic
Control (VDC) system is operating, thus alerting
the driver that the vehicle is nearing its traction
limits. The road surface may be slippery.
When the VDC warning light illuminates with
VDC system turned on, this light alerts the driver
to the fact that the VDC system’s fail-safe mode
is operating, for example the VDC system may
not be functioning properly. Have the system
checked by a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer. If a
malfunction occurs in the system, the VDC
system function will be canceled but the vehicle
is still driveable. For additional information, see
“Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system” in the
“5. Starting and driving” of this manual.
INDICATOR LIGHTS
or Electric parking brake
indicator light
When the power switch is in the ON position,
the light illuminates when the electric parking
brake is applied and turns off if the electric
parking brake is released. At the same time the
master warning light (red) turns on. If the parking
brake is released, the indicator and the master
warning light turn off.
If the indicator light blinks after the power switch
in the ON or READY to drive position and it
continues after the parking brake is applied and
released, there is malfunction in the electric
parking brake.
Contact a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer.

This indicator illuminates when the headlight
switch is turned to the AUTO (if so equipped),

side maker lights, tail and license plate lights are
on. The indicator turns off when these lights are

Front fog light indicator light
(if so equipped)
The front fog light indicator light illuminates
when the front fog lights are on. See “Fog light

Front passenger air bag status
light
The front passenger air bag status light (located
on the center of the instrument panel) will be lit
and the passenger front air bag will be turned
OFF depending on how the front passenger
seat is being used.
For front passenger air bag status light opera-
tion, see “NISSAN Advanced Air Bag System

selected.
Plug in indicator light
This light illuminates while charge connector is
connected to the vehicle and blinks during
charging.
NOTE:
If the charge connector is connected to the
vehicle, the power switch can not be
placed in the READY to drive position.
Power limitation indicator light
When the power limitation indicator light is
illuminated, the power provided to the traction
motor is reduced. Therefore the vehicle is not as
responsive when the accelerator is depressed
while the power limitation light is illuminated.
