Is there a real difference between the solid green and the outlined green speed control indicator?

Solid green means ICC distance control mode is active because a vehicle ahead is detected, so your car matches that vehicle’s speed. A green outline means maintain speed control mode is active, with no vehicle ahead, so the car simply holds your driver-selected set speed. Owner’s Manual, p. 420

What does the low battery charge warning light mean on a 2023 Nissan LEAF?

On a 2023 Nissan LEAF, the low battery charge warning light appears yellow while the 12-volt battery is charging and turns white once it is fully charged, signaling that the system can start normally. Owner’s Manual, p. 512

What’s the difference between B mode and D mode on the LEAF?

D (Drive) is for optimum driving performance in normal conditions, while B mode is meant for downhill driving. In B mode the LEAF applies more regenerative braking when you release the accelerator pedal compared to D, which helps control speed on descents and recovers extra electric power. Owner’s Manual, p. 42

How do I check and top up the coolant on a 2023 Nissan LEAF for the first time?

On a 2023 Nissan LEAF, check the coolant reservoir only when the high-voltage parts are cold. If the level sits below MIN, open the cap and add coolant until it reaches MAX. If the reservoir is completely empty, fill both the reservoir and its opening up to MAX, then tighten the cap securely afterward.

1. Wait until the high-voltage parts are cold
2. Check the level against the MIN and MAX marks
3. Open the reservoir cap if below MIN
4. Add coolant up to the MAX level
5. Refill the reservoir opening too if it was empty
6. Tighten the cap securely when finished

When should I worry about my 2023 Nissan LEAF key fob battery in cold weather?

Once outside temperatures drop below 14°F (-10°C), the Intelligent Key’s battery may stop working properly, so keep this in mind during very cold weather. Owner’s Manual, p. 253

Why does the low battery warning light stay on after my LEAF’s battery dies completely?

On a LEAF, this warning only clears once enough charge is restored, and pushing the car will not reset it.

1. Plug the LEAF into a charger after the Li-ion battery is fully discharged.
2. Keep charging without interruption.
3. Watch the low battery charge warning light change color from yellow to white.
4. Avoid attempting to push start the vehicle, since that will not turn the light off.

At what speed do the doors lock automatically on a 2023 Nissan LEAF?

Why won’t the cruise control set a speed on my 2023 Nissan LEAF?

The set vehicle speed indicator blinks instead of setting if certain conditions are present when you push SET-. On a 2023 Nissan LEAF this happens under specific circumstances that block activation.

• Traveling below 20 mph (32 km/h) with no vehicle detected ahead
• Shift lever not in D or B mode
• Parking brake applied or brakes being operated
• VDC system turned off or currently intervening, or a wheel slipping
• Any door open or the driver’s seat belt unfastened

Owner’s Manual, p. 422

Can I use a 2023 Nissan LEAF as a booster vehicle to jump start another car?

No, a 2023 Nissan LEAF cannot be used as a booster vehicle because it can’t supply enough power to start a gasoline engine. However, a gasoline-engine vehicle can be used to jump start the LEAF’s 12-volt battery when needed. Owner’s Manual, p. 510

How do I set up the charging timer on my 2023 Nissan LEAF for the first time?

Before scheduling charges, plug in the charge cable, make sure the clock on the vehicle information display is correct (reset it if the 12-volt battery died or the Li-ion battery was disconnected), then enter your desired start and end times in the charging timer menu. Leave the immediate charge switch untouched, since pressing it overrides the schedule and prevents timed charging from starting.

1. Connect the charge cable to the vehicle
2. Check and correct the clock on the vehicle information display
3. Enter the desired start and end times in the charging timer settings
4. Avoid pressing the immediate charge switch if you want the timer to run
