2-14 Instruments and controls
battery may be discharged or there
may be a malfunction in the 12-volt
battery related system.
If the 12-volt charge warning light
continues to illuminate when the
vehicle is in the READY to drive
mode, there may be a malfunction in
the DC/DC converter. Contact a
NISSAN certified LEAF dealer for
inspection.
or Anti-lock Braking
System (ABS) warning light
When the power switch is in the ON or READY
to drive position, the Anti-lock Braking System
(ABS) warning light illuminates and then turns
off. This indicates the ABS is operational.
If the ABS warning light illuminates while the
power switch is in READY to drive position, or
while driving, it may indicate the ABS is not
functioning properly. Have the system checked
by a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer.
If an ABS malfunction occurs, the anti-lock
function is turned off. The brake system then
operates normally, but without anti-lock assis-
tance. (See “Brake system” in the “5. Starting
and driving” section.)
BRAKE system warning light
(yellow)
This light functions for both the cooperative
regenerative brake and the electronically driven
intelligent brake systems. When the power
switch is placed in the ON position or in the
READY to drive position, the light remains
illuminated for about 2 or 3 seconds. If the light
illuminates at any other time, it may indicate that
the cooperative regenerative brake and/or the
electronically driven intelligent brake systems
are not functioning properly. Have the system
checked by a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer. If
the BRAKE warning light (red) also illuminates,
stop the vehicle immediately and contact a
NISSAN certified LEAF dealer. For additional
information, see “Brakes” in the “5. Starting and
driving” section.
WARNING
. Pressing the brake pedal when the
power switch position is not in the
ON or READY to drive position and/
or low brake fluid level may in-
crease the stopping distance and
braking will require greater pedal
effort as well as pedal travel.
. If the brake fluid level is below the
minimum or MIN mark on the brake
fluid reservoir, do not drive until the
brake system has been checked at a
NISSAN certified LEAF dealer.
. The cooperative regenerative brake
system may not be working properly
if the brake system warning light
illuminates when the READY to
drive indicator light is ON. If you
judge it to be safe, drive carefully to
the nearest service station for re-
pairs. Otherwise, have your vehicle
towed because driving could be
dangerous.
or BRAKE warning light
(red)
When the power switch is placed in the ON
position or in the READY to drive position, the
light remains illuminated for about a few
seconds. If the light illuminates at any other
time, it may indicate that the hydraulic brake
system is not functioning properly. If the BRAKE
warning light illuminates, stop the vehicle
immediately and contact a NISSAN certified
LEAF dealer.
