Brake pad wear warning

Your disc brake pads are engineered with audible wear indicators. When a brake pad has reached its service limit and requires replacement, it will emit a distinct high-pitched scraping noise while the vehicle is in motion.

Initially, this sound may only be audible when you apply pressure to the brake pedal.

As the pad wears further, the scraping sound will become constant, even when the brake pedal is not depressed. If you hear this warning sound, have the brake system inspected at your earliest convenience.

12-volt battery charge warning chime

Should the 12-volt battery charge warning light illuminate, an audible chime will sound in conjunction with a warning message on the information display.

If this occurs, safely pull your Nissan Leaf over to the side of the road, engage the parking brake, and press the P (Park) switch. The warning light and chime will cease once the vehicle is securely in Park or the parking brake is applied. Please have the charging system professionally inspected by a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer as soon as possible.
