.If you notice any foreign objects in
the system hardware, spill liquid on
the system or notice smoke or a
smell coming from it, stop using the
system immediately and contact a
NISSAN certified LEAF dealer.
Ignoring such conditions may lead
to accidents, fire or electrical shock.
CAUTION
.Do not use this system if you notice
any malfunctions such as a frozen
screen or the lack of sound. Con-
tinued use of the system may result
in accidents, fire or electrical shock.
. Some states/provinces may have
laws limiting the use of video
screens while driving. Use this sys-
tem only where it is legal to do so.
. Extreme temperature conditions
[below −48F( −208 C) and above
1588F (708C)] could affect the per-
formance of the system.
INFO:
Do not keep the navigation system running with
the READY to drive indicator light is OFF. Doing
so may discharge the 12-volt battery. When you
use the navigation system, always make sure the
READY to drive indicator light is ON.
NOTE:
. Establishing the CARWINGS
TMservice
is necessary before using this service.
. To check the Li-ion battery charging
status or to use the remote heater and
air conditioner using an internet en-
abled smart phone or personal compu-
ter, the following conditions must be
met:
—The vehicle must be located in a
cellular phone or smart phone cov-
erage area.
— The internet enabled cellular phone
or smart phone must be located in a
cellular phone or smart phone cov-
erage area.
— The computer must be connected to

— A cellular phone must be used to
communicate with the vehicle. —
A cellular phone capable of text
messaging must be used to receive
text message regarding vehicle
charge status.
. When the remote heater and air condi-
tioner is set, the system operates the
heater and air conditioner to adjust the
in-cabin temperature to a set tempera-
ture.
. When the charge connector is discon-
nected from the vehicle, the heater and
air conditioner operates using vehicle
Li-ion battery electric power.
. If the remote heater and air conditioner
function and Li-ion battery charging are
performed at the same time, Li-ion
battery charging will take longer than
usual due to the power used to heat or
cool the vehicle.
. Certain remote functions require a
compatible smart phone, which is not
included with vehicle.

IT-2LEAF Navigation System overview
UNIQUE EV FUNCTIONS
In addition to the conventional navigation func-
tions, the LEAF navigation system also offers
specific support for driving an EV.
CAUTION
Charging station information may not
be detailed in all areas or reflect current
charging station locations. For up to
date information about charging sta-
tions, such as business hours or char-
ging equipment, NISSAN recommends
that you directly access the information
on your own. Additionally, always check
the remaining amount of battery charge
and set a reasonable driving schedule.
Driving range display
By pressing thebutton on the steering
wheel, you can display the estimated one way
range that the vehicle can be driven from the
current location based on the amount of
remaining battery charge. When a destination
or a waypoint has been set, the driving area will
be displayed with the destination or waypoint in
the center.
“Displaying estimated driving range”
(page 2-3)
Charging stations located within the driving area
will also be displayed. By moving the map, you
can set a charging station as a destination or
waypoint.
“Setting a charging station as destination”
(page 2-4)
Charging station information
NOTE:
Charging stations that have been searched
for using this function are not necessarily
equipped with devices that can be used to
charge a LEAF. Be sure to confirm this in
advance before setting a charging station
as the destination.
INFO:
Charging station information is updated monthly
to add newly installed charging stations loca-
tions.
Icons for charging stations can be displayed on
the map. You can also display only charging
stations that are equipped with quick charge
devices or only charging stations that are
equipped with normal charge devices.
“Displaying charging station icons on map”
(page 2-5)
FEATURES OF LEAF NAVIGATION
SYSTEM

You can search for charging stations near the
current location, set a charging station as a
destination or waypoint, and check detailed
information about charging stations.
“Finding charging station” (page 3-25)
When connecting to the NISSAN CARWINGS
Data Center, the system will periodically perform
an automatic update of information for charging
stations near your home. The system will also
automatically update information for charging
stations near the current vehicle location when
the Li-ion battery charge is low. You can also
manually update the charging stations around
your current vehicle location at any time.
“Updating charging station information”
(page 2-7)
Energy information display
Estimated driving range, average energy econ-
omy and instant energy economy are displayed.
“Viewing energy economy information”
(page 2-8)
Estimated driving range and energy usage of
various systems are displayed. Also, variation of
the estimated driving distances between the
climate control ON and OFF is displayed.
“Viewing energy usage information”
(page 2-9)
Timer functions
Charging of the Li-ion battery will automatically
start at a scheduled time according to the start
time, end time and day of the week set. The
timer charge function allows two different timer
settings. Each timer charge can be set to
activate on a different day of the week. If no
timer is set, the charge will start immediately
after connecting the charge connector.
“Setting timer charge” (page 2-10)
The air conditioner starts to operate at the time
of day and day of the week specified in the

settings. This pre cools or heats the passenger
compartment before starting to drive. Electric
power consumption from the Li-ion battery
resulting from heater and air conditioner opera-
tion can be reduced because the temperature in
the passenger compartment is adjusted before
starting to drive.

TELEMATICS SERVICE
This vehicle incorporates a communication
device that is called a TCU (Telematics Com-
munication Unit). The communication connec-
tion between this unit and the NISSAN
CARWINGS Data Center allows for various
services.

Remote functions
When an Internet connection is available, you

can use a personal computer or an Internet-
enabled smart phone to check the battery status
and operate battery charging or the heater/air
conditioner remotely from another location.
Battery status check:
The status of the battery can be checked using
your personal computer or a internet enabled
smart phone even if you are not in the vehicle.
You may also choose to have SMS messages
(text messages) sent to a cellular phone.
Unplugged status, Charge status:
By registering frequently used charging stations,
notifications can be sent to your personal
computer or cellular phone email address to
inform you when the charging connector is
disconnected or charging is stopped mid-
charge at those locations.
Remote charge, Remote climate control:
Remote activation of battery charging or climate
control can be set using your personal computer
or a internet enabled smart phone.
Li-ion battery warmer status:
When ambient temperature is low, the Li-ion
battery warmer operates automatically.
Notifications will be sent to the e-mail address
you have registered on the NISSAN CARW-
INGS Data Center the following conditions inorder to remind you to connect the charging
connector.
.
Approximately 5 minutes after the Li-ion
battery warmer starts operating while the
power switch is in the OFF position and the
charging cable is not connected to the
vehicle.
. Approximately 5 minutes after the Li-ion
battery warmer stops operating due to low
remaining Li-ion battery power while the
power switch is in the OFF position and the
charging cable is not connected to the
vehicle.
NOTE:
. The remaining Li-ion battery power
lowers gradually while the Li-ion bat-
tery warmer is operating without con-
necting the charging connector.
. When the remaining Li-ion battery
power lowers, the Li-ion battery war-
mer stops operating. When this occurs,
the Li-ion battery temperature lowers
gradually, and as a result the EV
system may be disabled.Navigation Telematics (CAR-
WINGSTMservice)
