light will turn off. Push the “I” switchDto turn the
system on.
Do not allow any object to cover the sen-
sors
Eor apply glass cleaner on them.
Doing so will reduce the sensitivity of the
sensor, resulting in improper operation.
WARNING
Use the night position only when neces-
sary, because it reduces rear view clarity.
OUTSIDE MIRRORS
Adjusting outside mirrors
WARNING
Objects viewed in the outside mirror on
the passenger side are closer than they
appear. Be careful when moving to the
right. Using only this mirror could cause
an accident. Use the inside mirror or
glance over your shoulder to properly
judge distances to other objects. The outside mirror control switch is located on
the armrest.
The outside mirror will operate only when the
power switch is in the ACC or ON position.
Turn the switch right or left to select the right or
left side mirror
1, then adjust the mirror using
the control switch

Defrosting outside mirrors (if so
equipped)
The outside mirrors will be heated when the rear
window defroster switch is operated. See Rear
window and outside mirror defroster switch in
the Instruments and controls section.

the positionAif the object projects over the
actual backing up course.
ADJUSTING THE SCREEN
The procedure for adjusting the quality of the
screen differs depending on the type of screen
present on the vehicle.
For vehicles without Navigation System:
1. Press the ENTER/SETTING button.
2. Turn the TUNE-SCROLL knob to highlight the “Brightness” or “Contrast” key.
3. Press the ENTER/SETTING button.
4. Adjust the level using the TUNE-SCROLL knob and then press the ENTER/SETTING
button to apply the adjustment. Do not adjust the Brightness or Contrast of the
RearView Monitor while the vehicle is moving.
OPERATING TIPS
When the shift selector is shifted to R (Re-verse) , the monitor screen automatically
changes to the RearView Monitor mode. How-
ever, the radio can be heard.
It may take some time until the RearView Moni- tor is displayed after the shift selector has been
shifted to R (Reverse) . Objects may be dis-
torted momentarily until the RearView Monitor
screen is displayed completely. When the shift
selector is returned to a position other than R
(Reverse) , it may take some time until the
screen changes. Objects on the screen may be
distorted until they are completely displayed.
When the temperature is extremely high or low, the screen may not clearly display objects. This
is not a malfunction.
When strong light directly enters the camera, objects may not be displayed clearly.
Vertical lines may be seen in objects on the screen. This is due to strong reflected light from
the bumper. This is not a malfunction.
The screen may flicker under fluorescent light. This is not a malfunction.
Heater, air conditioner, audio and phone systems4-5

Adjust the air flow direction of the vents by mov-
ing the knob (up/down, left/right) until the desired
position is achieved.
WARNING
The air conditioning cooling function operates only when the power switch
is in the ON position or when the
READY to drive indicator light is ON.
Do not leave children 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, temperatures in a closed
vehicle could quickly become high
enough to cause severe or possibly
fatal injuries to people or animals.
Do not use the recirculation mode for long periods as it may cause the inte-
rior air to become stale and the win-
dows to fog up.
The climate control system (air conditioner and
heater functions) can be operated when the
READY to drive indicator light is illuminated.
However, while charging, the climate control sys-
tem can be used when the power switch is in the
ON position. The fan, heater and air conditioning can be turned
on manually, using the timer function and using
the remote climate control function.
These functions operate in the following condi-
tions.

DISPLAYING CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM
STATUS SCREEN (MODELS WITH NAVIGA-
TION SYSTEM)
Push the STATUS button to display the climate
control system status on the navigation system
screen. (See the LEAF Navigation System Own-
er’s Manual.)
NOTE:
If the READY to drive indicator light is
illuminated and the EVSE (Electric Vehicle
Supply Equipment) is connected to the
vehicle, the power switch will change to
the ON position. At the same time, the
climate control system will stop operat-
ing. However, the fan will continue to op-
erate. If you want to turn on climate con-
trol again, place the power switch in the
OFF position and then place it in the ON
position again after confirming that the
vehicle has started charging.
When the power switch is in the ON posi-
tion, if the power supply from the EVSE
(Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) is in-
terrupted due to an electrical outage, etc.,
the system will operate in the following
ways. – If it occurs while charging is being per-
formed:– The climate control system will stop
once. If the power supply is restored
within approximately 5 minutes, the
climate control system will restart.
However, if more than 5 minutes
have elapsed, the climate control
system will not restart.
– If it occurs after charging has finished: –The climate control system will stop.

is between 60°F (18°C) and 90°F (32°C) .
5. To set the automatic control mode, press and hold the
(intake air control) button. The
indicator will blink twice and inside/outside
circulation will switch automatically.
A visible mist may be seen coming from the
ventilators in hot, humid conditions as the air is
cooled rapidly. This does not indicate a malfunc-
tion.
Heating (A/C off):
1. Push the AUTO button. The AUTO indicator will illuminate.
2. Press the HEAT button. The indicator light on the HEAT button will come on. If the indicator

Climate Ctrl. Timer
The air conditioner starts to operate at the time of
day and day of the week specified in the settings.
This pre heats or pre cools the vehicle to a factory
preset temperature in the passenger compart-
ment before driving while the charger is con-
nected to vehicle. This helps reduce power con-
sumption from the Li-ion battery.
As the temperature is set to the factory default
setting, the user cannot adjust the temperature.
The Climate Ctrl. Timer operates the air condi-
tioner using power from the charger. Electric
power from the Li-ion battery is not used.
Once the Climate Ctrl. Timer is set, it automati-
cally starts when the set time is reached. It is
therefore 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 or low if the sys-
tem automatically stops. Do not leave
children or adults who would normally
require the support of others alone in
your vehicle. Pets should not be left
