DISPLAYING CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM
STATUS SCREEN (MODELS WITH NAVIGA-
TION SYSTEM)
Press the STATUS button to display the climate
control system status on the navigation system
screen. For additional information, please refer to
the separate LEAF Navigation System Owner’s
Manual.
NOTE:
•If the READY to drive indicator light is illumi-
nated 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 operating. However, the fan will
continue to operate. If you want to turn on
climate control 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 inter-
rupted 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.
OPERATING TIPS
• The automatic climate control is equipped with
sensors as illustrated. The sensors
AandB
help maintain a constant temperature. Do not
put anything on or around these sensors.
• Power consumption of the climate control sys- tem varies depending on the outside tempera-
ture and the temperature set for the climate
control system. Power consumption increases if
the interior temperature is cooled down too
much in summer or if it warmed up too much in
winter. This will result in a reduced driving
range.

• Using the AUTO mode will help reduce thepower consumption of the climate control.
• When the AUTO button is pressed, the AUTO indicator illuminates. The
HEAT button
indicator or the A/C button indicator illuminates
according to the operation of the climate control
system.
• If any of the MODE, A/C,
HEAT, fan speed
control
,front defroster,
intake air control is pushed when the AUTO
indicator illuminates, the AUTO indicator will be
turned off. • If the charger is connected to the vehicle when
it is in the READY to drive mode and the air
conditioner or heater is on, the power switch
automatically changes to the ON position. The
climate control system automatically turns off
the heater or air conditioner and switches to the
air recirculation mode. Place the power switch
in the off position to begin charging. Turn on the
desired climate control function.
• For normal charge, the climate control system is operative when charging operation is complete.
For quick charge however, the climate control
system stops operating when charging opera-
tion stops.
• The climate control timer or remote climate con- trol (for models with Navigation) may fog up
windows depending on the set temperature (for
models with Navigation) or outside
temperature.
• When turning on the seat heater switch prior to operating the climate control timer or the remote
climate control (for models with Navigation) , the
seat heater will also turn on automatically when
the outside temperature is low.
IN-CABIN MICROFILTER
The climate control system is equipped with an
in-cabin microfilter which collects dirt, dust etc.
To make sure the air conditioner heats defogs,
and ventilates efficiently, replace the filter regu-
larly. To replace the filter, it is recommended that
you visit a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer.
The filter should be replaced if the air flow
decreases significantly or if windows fog
up easily when operating the climate con-
trol system.

turned back on.
Climate Ctrl. Timer
While the charger is connected to the vehicle,
this function pre-heats or pre-cools the passen-
ger compartment of the vehicle to the tempera-
ture set by default before driving. This helps
reduce power consumption from the Li-ion bat-
tery.
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 so the vehicle compartment will be
cooled/heated to the temperature set by default
by the registered departure time. It is therefore
not necessary to set the Climate Ctrl. Timer ev-
eryday.
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
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. Also on cold days, tempera-
ture in a vehicle could become low
enough to cause severe or possible fatal
injuries to people or animals. 1. Push the
switchAon the left side of
the combination meter panel.
2. Push the
switchBuntil “Climate Ctrl.
Timer” is highlighted on the vehicle informa-
tion display and then push the
