This function enables the batteries to be
charged and the climate control to be turned
on automatically at a regular time and day of the
week.
SETTING TIMER CHARGE
Use charging timer to schedule when the Li-ion
battery charges. You can save two timer settings
that include the charging start time and end
time. One of the timer settings can be applied to
each day of the week. The vehicle automatically
begins charging at the scheduled times when
the charge connector is connected to the
vehicle. The timers do not need to be reset
each time the Li-ion battery needs charged.
1. Push the
(Zero Emission menu) button
and touch [Charging Timer].
2. Touch [Set Timer 1] or [Set Timer 2]. The following explains the procedure for setting
Timer 1.
3. Enter the Li-ion battery charge start time.Touch [% Charge] to change the amount of
charging. Touch [END Time] to change the
time to stop charging.
INFO:
.Charging timer is performed according tothe 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.
.In the default setting, [100% Charge
(Maximizes Driving Range)] is selected.
This is called long distance mode. To
maximize vehicle range, NISSAN recom-
mends using the default setting, long
distance mode (100% charge). To ex-
tend the life span of the Li-ion battery,
use long life mode by selecting [80%
Charge (Improves Battery Longevity)]. For details, see the LEAF Owner’s
Manual.
.If OFF is selected for a day of the week,
the charging timer will not operate on
that day. The system will wait until the
next set charging time to perform char-
ging.
4. To set the timer charge for different days of
the week, touch [Assign Days]. Select the
preferred timer setting for each day of the
week. When the settings are completed,
touch [OK].
5. When the settings are completed, touch [Save Timer]. The settings confirmation
screen will be displayed.
TIMER FUNCTION OPERATION

6. If the settings shown on the screen arecorrect, touch [Yes].
7. The [Timer 1] indicator illuminates after thecharging timer is set. Use the same proce-
dure to set the Timer 2 setting.
8. Place the power switch in the OFF position, and then connect the charge connector to
the vehicle.
INFO:
. Always place the power switch in the OFF
position after setting the charging timers.
When the power switch is in the ON
position, the Li-ion battery will not start
charging.
. The Li-ion battery may not be charged to the
expected level (80% or 100%) if the
charging timer start time and end time are
set so there is not enough time to charge the
Li-ion battery.
. When either the charge start time or charge
end time is set, the charging timer function is
activated.
. When only the charging timer end time is
set, the system automatically determines
when to begin charging based on the Li-
ion battery charge level. The Li-ion battery
may not be charged to the expected level
(80% or 100%) if the charging timer end
time is set so there is not enough time to
charge the Li-ion battery.
. When only the charging timer end time is
set, the system automatically stops charging
when the Li-ion battery charges to the
selected level (80% or 100%) . Charging
may stop before the scheduled end time. .
Touch [Timer 1] or [Timer 2] to turn off the
charging timer function. Touch [Yes] if the
settings shown on the screen are correct.
After this operation has been performed, the
indicator disappears and the charging timer
function is turned off. The start and stop time
settings are not deleted, even if the charging
timer function is turned off.
. If 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 electrical
power first.
“Unique EV function settings”
(page 2-15)
. The timer setting can be changed while
timer charge is in operation. When the
setting is changed while timer charge is in
operation, the new settings are applied
immediately and charge operation stops
once. After this, if the power position is
switched to OFF, charge operation starts or
enters waiting mode depending on the new
timer settings.
. When charging is set as the first priority, the
Climate Ctrl. Timer does not start until 10
segments (80%) of the Li-ion battery avail-
able charge gauge are illuminated.
Unique EV functions2-11

2-12Unique EV functions
.When the climate control is set as the first
priority, the Climate Ctrl. Timer will not
operate until the remaining Li-ion battery
power displayed in the meter is 2 segments
(15%) or higher.
. The Li-ion battery will not charge when the
charge connector is connected to the
vehicle until the next scheduled charge start
time when the charge timer is active. If
necessary, use immediate charge or remote
charge to charge the Li-ion battery.
. 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.
. The Li-ion battery may not charge to the
expected level when the Li-ion battery
warmer operates while charging using the
Charging Timer.
. Set only the Charging Timer End time when
charging in cold weather. The vehicle
automatically determines when to start
charging to fully charge the Li-ion battery,
even if the Li-ion battery warmer operates.
Charging ends before the set End time if the Li-ion battery is fully charged.
SETTING CLIMATE CTRL. TIMER
While the charger is connected to vehicle, this
function pre-heats or pre-cools the passenger
compartment of the vehicle to the set tempera-
ture before driving. This helps reduce power
consumption from the Li-ion battery.
“Temperature settings” (page 2-14)
The Climate Ctrl. Timer operates the air condi-
tioner using power from the charger. Electric
power from the Li-ion battery is not used.
The Climate Ctrl. Timer function allows two
different timer settings. Each timer charge
function can be set to activate on a different
day of the week.
Once the Climate Ctrl. Timer is set, it will
complete air conditioning by the time that is set.
It is not necessary to set the Climate Ctrl. Timer
everyday.
WARNING
Even if the Climate Ctrl. Timer is set, the
temperature in the passenger compart-
ment may become high if the system
automatically stops. Do not leave chil-
dren or adults who would normally
require the support of others alone in your vehicle. Pets should not be left
alone either. On hot, sunny days, tem-
peratures in a closed vehicle could
quickly become high enough to cause
severe or possibly fatal injuries to
people or animals.

. Air conditioning is limited to the capacity of
the electric power when the charge con-
nector is connected. Therefore, the tem-
perature may not reach the set temperature
due to limitations in air conditioning perfor-
mance, if ambient temperature is excessively
high or low, or if the charge connector is
connected to a 120 V plug outlet.
. The Climate Ctrl. Timer operates the climate
control function so that a comfortable
