LI-ION BATTERY TEMPERATURE
GAUGE
The gauge indicates the temperature of the Li-ion
battery.
The temperature of the Li-ion battery is within the
normal range when the display is within the zone
᭺
1 shown in the illustration.
The temperature of the Li-ion battery varies ac-
cording to the outside air temperature and driving
conditions.
NOTE:
• If the display indicates that the tempera-
ture of the Li-ion battery is near the red
zone end of the normal range, reduce
vehicle speed to decrease the tempera-
ture. If the indicator is over the normal
range, the power provided to the traction
motor is reduced when the power limita-
tion indicator light is illuminated. There-
fore the vehicle is not as responsive when
the accelerator is depressed while the
power limitation light is illuminated. See
؆Power limitation indicator light؆.
• If the outside temperature is extremely
low, the Li-ion temperature gauge may not
display a temperature reading. The ve-
hicle may not be able to be put in the
READY to drive mode. Contact a NISSAN
certified LEAF dealer.
