• Communication becomes unavailable when thevehicle is not used for two weeks or more.
When the power switch is placed in the ON
position, communication with the Nissan Data
Center can be restored.
• Air conditioning is limited to the capacity of the electric power when the charge connector is
connected to the vehicle. Therefore, the tem-
perature may not reach a comfortable level due
to performance of the air conditioning being
limited, if the outside temperature is excessively
high or low, or if the charge connector is con-
nected to a 120-volt outlet.
• If the power switch is in the ON position or the charge connector is disconnected, while the
remote climate control is being operated, re-
mote climate control operation is automatically
stopped and an e-mail is sent.
• If remote climate control operation is started while the vehicle is in normal charge mode, the
climate control operates in climate control pri-
ority mode and charging is continued.
• If remote climate control operation is started and charging is stopped while the vehicle is in
quick charge mode, climate control operation is
also stopped. • If the quick charge connector is connected and
charging is not performed, remote climate con-
trol operation starts using the battery electric
power of the vehicle.

Note
•The temperature in the passenger com-
partment may not be comfortable if enter-
ing the vehicle too soon before or too long
after the scheduled time of departure.
• Air conditioning is limited to the capacity
of the electric power when the charge
connector is connected. Therefore, the
temperature may not reach the set tem-
perature due to limitations in air condi-
tioning performance, if ambient tempera-
ture is excessively high or low, or if the
charge connector is connected to a 120-
volt plug outlet. •
The Climate Ctrl. Timer operates the cli-
mate control function so that a comfort-
able temperature is provided in the pas-
senger compartment at the scheduled
time of departure. The climate control is
set to stop at the scheduled time of depar-
ture.
SERVICING CLIMATE CONTROL
The climate control system in your NISSAN is
charged with a refrigerant designed with the en-
vironment in mind. This refrigerant will not harm
the earth’s ozone layer. Special charging equip-
ment and lubricant are required when servicing
your NISSAN climate control. Using improper
refrigerants or lubricants will cause severe dam-
age to your climate control system. For additional
information, refer to “Recommended fluids/
lubricants and capacities” in the “Technical and
consumer information” section.
A NISSAN certified LEAF dealer will be able to
service your environmentally friendly climate con-
trol system.
RADIO
Push the power switch to the ACC or ON posi-
tion and press the radio band select button to
turn on the radio. If you listen to the radio while
the READY to drive indicator light is off, the
power switch should be pushed to the ACC
position.
Radio reception is affected by station signal
strength, distance from radio transmitter, build-
ings, bridges, mountains and other external influ-
ences. Intermittent changes in reception quality
normally are caused by these external influences.
Using a cellular phone in or near the vehicle
may influence radio reception quality.
Radio reception
Your NISSAN radio system is equipped with
state-of-the-art electronic circuits to enhance ra-
dio reception. These circuits are designed to
extend reception range, and to enhance the qual-
ity of that reception.
However, there are some general characteristics
of both FM and AM radio signals that can affect
radio reception quality in a moving vehicle, even
