7. The [Timer 1] indicator illuminates after the
charging timer is set. Use the same procedure
to set the Timer 2 setting.
8. Place the power switch in the OFF position,
and then connect the charge connector to the
vehicle.
NOTE:
•Always place the power switch in the OFF
position after setting the charging timers.
When the power switch is in the ON posi-
tion, the Li-ion battery will not start charg-
ing.
•The Li-ion battery may not be charged to
the expected level if the charging timerstart time and end time are set so there is
not enough time to charge the Li-ion bat-
tery.
•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. The Li-ion battery
may not be charged to the expected level
in the following conditions:
– The Li-ion battery is charged in cold
weather.
– The charge connector is connected to
the vehicle too close to the scheduled
charging end time.
•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.
•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 andstop 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 electri-
cal power first. See LEAF Navigation Sys-
tem Owner’s Manual.
•When charging is set as the first priority,
the Climate Ctrl. Timer does not start until
10 segments of the Li-ion battery avail-
able charge gauge are illuminated.
•When the climate control is set as the first
priority, the climate control system will be
turned on as scheduled by the Climate
Ctrl. Timer regardless of the remaining
battery energy.
•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 is
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
ChargingCH-23

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 is operating
while the Climate Ctrl. Timer or Remote
Climate Control is being used, perfor-
mance of the Climate Control will be re-
duced.
•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 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
operates. Charging ends before the set
End time if the Li-ion battery is fully
charged.
•The 12-volt battery can become dis-
charged if the charging timer is operated
repeatedly between the Li-ion battery
charges while the vehicle is not used for
an extended period of time.

steering wheel is below approximately 68°F
(20°C) .
Push the heated steering wheel switch to warm
the steering wheel when the power switch is in
the ON position. The indicator light
1on the
switch will illuminate.
If the surface temperature of the steering wheel is
below approximately 68°F (20°C) , the system will
heat the steering wheel and cycle off and on to
maintain a temperature above 68°F (20°C) . Theindicator light will remain on as long as the sys-
tem is on.
Push the switch again to turn the heated steering
wheel system off manually. The indicator light turn
off.
NOTE:
•If the surface temperature of the steering
wheel is above 68°F (20°C) when the
switch is turned on, the system will not
heat the steering wheel. This is not a mal-
function.
•If the outside temperature is low (approxi-
mately 50°F (10°C) or less) and the Climate
Ctrl. Timer or Remote Climate Control are
used, the steering wheel heater will auto-
matically operate in the following condi-
tions.
– When using the Climate Ctrl. Timer:
Operates from approximately 15 min-
utes before the set departure time until
the set departure time.
– When using Remote Climate Control:
Operates 15 minutes after Remote Cli-
mate Control starts.•The heated steering wheel consumes less
power than the heater and can be used to
either help extend vehicle range by reduc-
ing heater use or to maximize comfort by
supplementing the heater.

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.
Note:
•Odors from inside and outside the vehicle
can build up in the air conditioner unit.
Odor can enter the passenger compart-
ment through the vents.
•When parking, set the heater and air con-
ditioner controls to turn off air recircula-
tion to allow fresh air into the passenger
compartment. This should help reduce
odors inside the vehicle.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.

Automatic operation (AUTO)
The AUTO mode may be used year-round as the
system automatically controls constant tempera-
ture, air flow distribution and fan speed.
To turn off the climate control, press the A/C-
Heater ON·OFF button.
The same operating mode (Heater or A/C) that
was active when the system is turned off is active
when system is turned back on.
While operating the climate control in the AUTO
mode, selecting any other climate control button
de-activates the AUTO mode and activates
manual mode.
Cooling and/or dehumidified heating:
The dehumidified heating mode can be used to
keep the windows from fogging. In this mode, the
heat pump compressor is used in A/C mode for
dehumidifying the air instead of heating it. The
PTC heater is also used in conjunction to heat the
air. This mode will increase energy consumption
and therefore reduce range.
