You can also 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 3-19)
This vehicle is equipped with a TCU (Telematics
Control Unit) , a communication device that
enables communication with the Nissan Data
Center for various telematics services.
“Telematics service” (page IT-4)
When connecting to the Nissan Data Center, the
system will perform an automatic charging station information update near your home once
a month. 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.

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

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 compart-
ment before starting to drive. Electric power
consumption from the Li-ion battery resulting
from heater and air conditioner operation can be
reduced because the temperature in the pas-
senger compartment is adjusted before starting
to drive.

TELEMATICS SERVICE
The TCU (Telematics Control Unit) equipped in
this vehicle enables the vehicle to use various
services (NissanConnect
SMEV) by connecting
the vehicle to Nissan Data Center.
NOTE:
. Completing the NissanConnect
SMEV
registration at a NISSAN certified LEAF
dealer at the time of vehicle purchase is
necessary to use 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 cover-
age area.
— The internet enabled cellular phone
or smart phone must be located in a
cellular phone or smart phone cover-
age area.
— The computer must be connected to
the internet. —
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.
. NissanConnect
SMEV information sys-
tem features are included through a
subscription service which requires
owner consent to activate. The sub-
scription must be active to use these
features.

may apply depending on your carrier.
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 e-mail 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 (if so
equipped):
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 Data Center
under the following conditions in order 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 warmer
stops operating. When this occurs, the
Li-ion battery temperature lowers gra-
dually, and as a result the EV system
may be disabled.

TIMER FUNCTION OPERATION
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 to be charged.
1. Push<
>and touch [Charging Timer].
INFO:
Touch [Estimated Time] to view approximate
time required to reach 100% charge.
2. Touch [Edit Schedule]. Timer charge setting screen is displayed.
3. Set preferred time and day of the week for vehicle charging.
4. After entering the information, touch [Save]. A confirmation screen is displayed.
5. Touch [OK] to confirm the setting, push the power switch to the OFF position, and then
connect the charge connector to the vehicle.

2. Unique EV functions

.When the climate control is set as the first
priority, the Climate Ctrl. Timer will operate
when 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 that the battery will not be fully
charged.
. The Li-ion battery may not be fully charged
when the Li-ion battery warmer (if so
equipped) operates while charging using
the Charging Timer.
. Set only the end time for the timer charging
when charging in cold weather. The vehicle
automatically determines when to start char-
ging to fully charge the Li-ion battery, even if
the Li-ion battery warmer (if so equipped) 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.
“Unique EV function settings” (page 2-15)
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.
