3.4.1. Emergency shut-off system

The emergency shut-off system is activated and the high-voltage system automatically turns off in the following conditions:

  • Front and side collisions in which the air bags are deployed.

  • Certain rear collisions.

  • Certain electric vehicle system malfunctions.

In the above described conditions the READY to drive indicator light will turn off. See

Warning lights, indicator lights, and audible reminders
.

The emergency shut-off is activated during the types of collisions mentioned above to minimise risk of an event that could cause further injury. If the emergency shut-off system activates, the electric vehicle system may not be switched to the READY to drive position, contact a knowledgeable LEAF repairer such as a NISSAN certified electric vehicle dealer. Even if the power switch is switched to the READY to drive position, the system may shut-off suddenly. Therefore, drive cautiously to the nearest knowledgeable LEAF repairer such as a NISSAN certified electric vehicle dealer or contact such a dealer as soon as possible.
