Nissan LEAF 2023 Owners Manual
3.2.1. Driving with a discharged Li-ion battery
When a destination is set in the navigation system that exceeds the available driving range the navigation system automatically searches the location of nearby charging stations. When the nearby charging station locations are displayed, charge the Li-ion battery as soon as possible (models with navigation system).
Warning lights illuminate on the instrument panel and messages are displayed on the Vehicle Information Display to inform you that the Li-ion battery charge is low. Instructions are also displayed on the navigation system screen to direct you to nearby charging stations (models with navigation system).
The vehicle's range is very limited when these warning lights illuminate and messages are displayed. Follow the instructions on the navigation screen (models with navigation system) and immediately charge the vehicle at the nearest charging station.
There are three levels of information that will be displayed as the Li-ion battery becomes discharged:
- (A)Full charge
- 1.Low Li-ion battery
- 2.“– – –” indication
- 3.Traction motor output limited
- (B)Battery discharged
The following warning lights illuminate on the instrument panel and messages are displayed on the Vehicle Information Display at the same time to indicate low Li-ion battery charge:
The low battery charge warning light
The master warning light
[Battery charge is low. Charge now] warning message is displayed on the Vehicle Information Display.
Messages are displayed on navigation system screen (models with navigation system).
See the separately provided navigation system owner’s manual.
The driving range flashes.
Due to traffic conditions, it may be difficult to get to the charging station suggested by the navigation system (models with navigation system). If the Li-ion battery is almost completely discharged, drive directly to the nearest charging station.
If the vehicle is driven and the Li-ion battery continues to discharge, the driving range on the instrument panel changes to “– – –”.
When the power limitation indicator light
.
illuminates, traction motor output is limited resulting in reduced vehicle speed. Stop the vehicle in a safe location before the Li-ion battery becomes completely discharged and there is no power available to drive the vehicle.
