NOTE: • If the display indicates that the temperature of the Li-ion battery is near the red zone end of the normal range, reduce vehicle 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 indicator light is illuminated. Therefore the vehicle is not as responsive when the accelerator is depressed while the power limitation light is illuminated. See ؆Power limitation indicator light؆. • If the outside temperature is extremely low, the Li-ion temperature gauge may not display a temperature reading. The vehicle may not be able to be put in the READY to drive mode. Contact a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer. LI-ION BATTERY TEMPERATURE GAUGE The gauge indicates the temperature of the Li-ion battery.
