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 ve-
hicle speed to decrease the temperature.
If the indicator is over the normal range,
the power provided to the traction motor
is reduced when the power limitation in-
dicator light is illuminated. Therefore the
vehicle is not as responsive when the ac-
celerator is depressed while the power
limitation light is illuminated. See “Power
limitation indicator light” in this section.

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.
