6-12 In case of emergency
If the power limitation indicator light
illuminates, the traction motor output is limited
resulting in reduced vehicle speed. Stop the
vehicle in a safe location before the Li-ion
battery becomes completely discharged and
no power is available to drive the vehicle.
Contact Roadside assistance, see your NISSAN
Warranty Information Booklet.
If possible, place the power switch in the OFF
position while waiting for assistance to prevent
discharging the 12-volt battery.
NOTE:
If the Li-ion battery becomes completely
discharged:
. The vehicle is automatically placed in
the ON position and it will not be
possible to switch to the READY posi-
tion.
. The vehicle is automatically switched
to the N (Neutral) position and it will
not be possible to drive the vehicle.
WARNING
If the vehicle is in the N (Neutral)
position and the Li-ion battery and the
12-volt battery become completely dis-
charged, the vehicle can not be placed
in the P (Park) position, and the electric
parking brake cannot be applied. If this
occurs, place suitable blocks at both
the front and back of a wheel to prevent
the vehicle from moving. Failure to
block a wheel may allow the vehicle to
move unexpectedly which may result in
serious personal injury or death.
To place the vehicle in the READY position so
the vehicle can be driven, charge the Li-ion
battery until the driving range on the instrument
panel changes from “---” to a numeric distance.
Do not attempt to start the system by pushing
the vehicle.
CAUTION
An EV (Electric Vehicle) cannot be push-
started or tow-started. Attempting to do
so may cause traction motor damage.
IF THE LI-ION BATTERY BECOMES
COMPLETELY DISCHARGED
