Instruments and controls -> Power meter for Your Nissan Leaf 4 Door First Generation (2010-2017)

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.  
LI-ION BATTERY TEMPERATURE

The gauge indicates the temperature of the Li-ion  
battery.

The white dot moves to the right when power is  
provided to the traction motor (Li-ion battery dis-  
charges).  
The temperature of the Li-ion battery varies ac-  
cording to the outside air temperature and driving  
conditions.  
The white dot moves to the left when power is  
generated and provided to the Li-ion battery by  
Instruments and controls 2-7  
the regenerative brake system (Li-ion battery  
charging).  
NOTE:  
• The driving range display will flash when  
the low battery charge warning light illu-  
minates. Additionally, if you continue to  
drive the vehicle in this state and the Li-  
ion battery is close to being completely  
discharged, “---” will be displayed. Charge  
the Li-ion battery as soon as possible.  
When the Li-ion battery is charged, the  
original display will be restored.  
The power meter also indicates if the power  
provided to the motor is limited or if regenerative  
braking is limited. When power or regenerative  
braking is limited, the circles on the display  
2
change from a double circle to a single circle  
.
᭺
Regenerative braking is automatically reduced  
when the Li-ion battery is fully charged to prevent  
the Li-ion battery from becoming overcharged.  
Regenerative braking is also automatically re-  
duced when the Li-ion battery temperature is  
high/low (indicated by the red/blue zones on the  
Li-ion battery temperature gauge) to prevent Li-  
ion battery damage.  
• After the vehicle is charged, the displayed  
driving range is calculated based on the  
actual average energy consumption of the  
previous driving. The displayed driving  
range will vary every time the vehicle is  
fully charged.  
DRIVING RANGE

The driving range

(miles or km) provides an  
The more regenerative braking is reduced the  
more double circles change to single circles  
estimated distance that the vehicle can be driven  
before recharging is necessary. The driving range  
is constantly being calculated, based on the  
amount of available Li-ion battery charge and the  
actual power consumption average.  
• The driving range will increases or de-  
creases when the air conditioner, heater  
or Li-ion battery warmer is turned on or  
off, or the vehicle is shifted between D  
(Drive) and ECO, or when any other acces-  
sory is turned on or off based on driving.  
If the Li-ion battery charge is low, power provided  
to the traction motor is reduced. Motor output is  
also limited if the Li-ion battery temperature is  
high/low (indicated by the red/blue zones on the  
Li-ion battery temperature gauge) or the Li-ion  
battery charge level is low.  
The more power provided to the traction motor is  
reduced the more double circles change to  
single circles.
