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. For addi-
tional information, refer to “Power limita-
tion 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. Have the system
checked. It is recommended that you visit
a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer for this
service.
POWER METER
This meter displays the actual traction motor
power consumption
A
and the regenerative
brake power provided to the Li-ion battery
B
.
The white dot
1
in the display moves right or left
depending on demand.
The white dot moves to the right when power is
provided to the traction motor (Li-ion battery dis-
charges).
The white dot moves to the left when power is
generated and provided to the Li-ion battery by
the regenerative brake system (Li-ion battery
charging).
