If the power limitation indicator light

illumi-

nates, the traction motor output is limited result-
ing 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 assis-
tance; 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 position.

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 discharged,
the vehicle can not be placed in the P
(Park) position. If this occurs, place suit-
able blocks at both the front and back of
a wheel to prevent the vehicle from mov-
ing. 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.
