3. When the power limitation indicator
light
illuminates, traction motor
output is limited resulting in reduced ve-
hicle speed. Stop the vehicle in a safe
location before the Li-ion battery be-
comes completely discharged and
there is no power available to drive the
vehicle. Contact Roadside Assistance
Service shown in your NISSAN Warranty
Information Booklet. For additional in-
formation, see “If the Li-ion battery be-
comes completely discharged” (P. 6-12).
CHARGING THE 12-VOLT BATTERY
The 12-volt battery is charged automati-
cally using electricity stored in the Li-ion
battery.
When the 12-volt battery is being charged,
the charge status indicator light on the in-
strument panel flashes (except when
charging the Li-ion battery or the power
switch is in the READY to drive position). For
additional information, see “Charging sta-
tus indicator lights” (P. CH-49).
While vehicle is driven
The Li-ion battery charges the 12-volt bat-
tery as necessary when the power switch
is in the READY to drive position.
The 12-volt battery is not charged in the
following conditions.
• When the power switch is in the ACC
position.
• When the power switch is in the ON posi-
tion and the shift position is in the N (Neu-
tral) position.
While the vehicle is not in use
When the EV system is off for an extended
time, the 12-volt battery may be automati-
cally charged for a short period of time on a
regular basis.
LI-ION BATTERY WARMER
For models with 40 kWh battery
CAUTION
The Li-ion battery warmer does not op-
erate if the available Li-ion battery
charge is less than approximately 15%
and the charger is not connected to the
vehicle. To help prevent the Li-ion bat-
tery from freezing, do not leave the ve-
hicle in an environment if temperatures
may go below -1°F (-17°C) unless the ve-
hicle is connected to a charger.
The Li-ion battery warmer helps to prevent
the Li-ion battery from freezing and helps
to prevent significant reductions in the Li-
ion battery output when the temperature
is cold. The Li-ion battery warmer auto-
matically turns on when the Li-ion battery
temperature is approximately -1°F (-17°C) or
colder. The Li-ion battery warmer auto-
matically turns off when the Li-ion battery
temperature is approximately 14°F (-10°C)
or higher.
The Li-ion battery warmer uses electrical
power from an external source when a
charger is connected to the vehicle. The
Li-ion battery warmer uses electrical
power from the Li-ion battery when the
charger is not connected to the vehicle.
NOTE:
• Connect the charger to the vehicle and
place the power switch in the OFF po-
sition when parking the vehicle if tem-
peratures may go below -1°F (-17°C).
This provides external power to the Li-
ion battery warmer when it operates
and does not discharge the Li-ion
battery.
