CH-20Charging

•When only the charging timer end time is
set, the system automatically stops charg-
ing when the Li-ion battery charges to a
full charge. Charging may stop before the
scheduled end time.
• If the charging timer and the Climate Ctrl.
Timer are operating at the same time due
to an overlap of the timer settings, you can
prioritize which function receives electri-
cal power first. For additional information,
refer to the LEAF Navigation System Own-
er’s Manual.
• When charging is set as the first priority,
the Climate Ctrl. Timer does not start until
10 segments (80%) of the Li-ion battery
available charge gauge are illuminated.
• Even when the climate control is set as the
first priority, the climate control system
will be turned off when the electric de-
mands of the climate control system are
more than can be provided to the Li-ion
battery for charging.
• Some charging stations used to perform
normal charge are equipped with timer
functions. If the charger timer function
and the vehicle timer are both set, and the
two timers are not set to operate at the same time, it is possible that the charger
will not start or the battery will not be
charged to the level expected.
• If the Li-ion battery warmer (if so
equipped) is operating while the Climate
Ctrl. Timer or remote climate control is
being used, performance of the climate
control system will be reduced.
• The Li-ion battery may not charge to the
expected level using the Charging Timer
when a [Start time] and [End time] are set
while the Li-ion battery warmer (if so
equipped) operates.
• Set only the Charging Timer End time
when charging in cold weather. The ve-
hicle automatically determines when to
start charging to fully charge the Li-ion
battery, even if the Li-ion battery warmer
(if so equipped) operates. Charging ends
before the set End time if the Li-ion bat-
tery is fully charged.
• The 12–volt battery can become dis-
charged if the charging timer is operated
repeatedly between the Li-ion battery
charges when the vehicle is not used for
an extended period of time. •
Charging timer is performed according to
the current time setting on the bottom left
of the display. When setting the charging
timer function, be sure to check that the
current time displayed is correct.
