Nissan Qashqai e-POWER 2023 Owners Manual
5.2.3.14.
Power limitation indicator light
Power limitation mode can result in reduced power and vehicle speed. The reduced speed may be lower than other traffic, which could increase the chance of a collision. Be especially careful when driving. If the vehicle cannot maintain a safe driving speed, pull to the side of the road in a safe area.
When the power switch is in the ON position, the power limitation indicator light illuminates and then turns off.
When the power limitation indicator light is illuminated with the power switch in the READY to drive position, the power provided to the electric motors (for driving and power generator) is reduced. Therefore the vehicle is not as responsive when the accelerator pedal is depressed while the power limitation indicator light is illuminated.
When this light illuminates and any message appears on the vehicle information display, follow the instructions.
This light illuminates in the following conditions.
Li-ion battery charge is extremely low.
Li-ion battery temperature is extremely low.
When the temperature of e-POWER system is high (motor, coolant system, Li-ion battery, etc.).
When the power generator output is limited.
Before the Li-ion battery is discharged and when the Low Fuel warning is also displayed in the vehicle information display, refuel as soon as possible.
If this light illuminates because the Li-ion battery is cold due to low outside temperatures, move the vehicle to a warmer location.
If the light illuminates because the Li-ion battery temperature is extremely high, stop the vehicle in a safe location and wait until the light turns off.
This light also illuminates in the following condition.
If the accelerator pedal is depressed when the vehicle is stopped and the shift lever is placed in the N (Neutral) position.
In this case, even if the shift lever is shifted into the D (Drive) position, the acceleration will be reduced. While the accelerator pedal is depressed, the light illuminates and a message appears in the vehicle information display, and chime will sound. When the accelerator pedal is released, the indicator light and the message will turn off and chime will stop.
If the light illuminates in a situation other than those described above, or if it does not turn off, there may be a system malfunction. Contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
