4-24Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems

• Excessive noise (for example, audiosystem volume or open vehicle win-
dow) will interfere with the chime
sound, and it may not be heard.
• The MOD system performance will be limited according to environmen-
tal conditions and surrounding ob-
jects such as:
– When there is low contrast be-tween background and the mov-
ing objects.
– When there is a blinking source of light.
– When strong light such as another vehicle’s headlight or sunlight is
present.
– When camera orientation is not in its usual position, such as when a
mirror is folded.
– When there is dirt, water drops or snow on the camera lens.
– When the position of the moving objects in the display is not
changed.
• The MOD system might detect flow- ing water droplets on the camera
lens, white smoke from the muffler,
moving shadows, etc. • The MOD system may not function
properly depending on the speed,
direction, distance or shape of the
moving objects.
• If your vehicle sustains damage to the parts where the camera is in-
stalled, leaving it misaligned or bent,
the sensing zone may be altered and
the MOD system may not detect ob-
jects properly.
• When the temperature is extremely high or low, the screen may not dis-
play objects clearly. This is not a
malfunction.
NOTE:
The blue MOD icon will change to orange
if one of the following has occurred:
•When the system is malfunctioning.
• When the component temperature
reaches a high level (icon will blink).
If the icon light continues to illuminate
orange, have the MOD system checked.
It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN certified LEAF dealer for this
service.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
• Do not use alcohol, benzine or thin- ner to clean the camera. This will
cause discoloration.
• Do not damage the cameras as the
monitor screen may be adversely af-
fected.
If dirt, rain or snow accumulates on any of
the cameras
1, the Intelligent Around
View Monitor may not display objects
clearly. Clean the camera by wiping with a
cloth dampened with a diluted mild clean-
ing agent and then wiping with a dry cloth.
Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems4-29

NOTE:
•A series of operation sounds may be
heard immediately af ter climate con-
trol ON/OFF operation. This is not a mal-
function.
• Compressor and motor fan may sud-
denly start to operate during charging
operation. This is not a malfunction.
• Condensation forms inside the air con-
ditioning unit when the air conditioner
is running, and is safely discharged un-
derneath your vehicle. Traces of water
on the ground are therefore normal.
Water may drop underneath the vehicle
when climate control is operating.

tureislow.IN-CABIN MICROFILTER
The climate control system is equipped
with an in-cabin microfilter which collects
dirt, dust etc. To make sure the air condi-
tioner heats defogs, and ventilates effi-
ciently, replace the filter regularly. To re-
place 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 win-
dows fog up easily when operating the

• The charging status indicator lights illumi-nate in a specific pattern when the Li-ion
battery warmer operates. The charging
status indicator lights use the same pat-
tern to indicate 12–volt battery charging,
Climate Ctrl. Timer operation or Remote
Climate Control operation. The charging
status indicator lights do not change if the
Li-ion battery warmer operates at the
same time as the above features.
•
The temperature in the passenger com-
partment may not be comfortable if enter-
ing the vehicle too soon before or too long
af ter 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
departure.
• Depending on the facilities of charging station, there may be time when it is not
available for charging. Confirm the avail-
ability of the charging facility before set-
ting the Climate Ctrl. Timer. Be sure that
the power switch of the charger is turned
on when setting the Climate Ctrl. Timer.
• When the power switch is turned OFF af- ter changing the setting, the new setting
will be applied.
*models with Navigation SystemRemote climate control
This vehicle incorporates a communica-
tion device that is called a TCU (Telematics
Control Unit). The communication connec-
tion between this unit and Nissan Data
Center allows for various remote function
services.
Even when away from the vehicle, climate
control can be started by accessing the
Web Owner Portal using a cellular phone or
a personal computer. When operation is started, or at the set
start time, the Nissan Data Center ac-
cesses the vehicle. When the vehicle re-
ceives a command for remote operation,
the climate control immediately turns ON
and operates for the specified period of
time. Confirmation of the ON/OFF of the
climate control operation can be checked
by accessing the Web Owner Portal, or by
e-mail.
Completing registration for the
NissanConnect® EV and Services is neces-
sary before using the service. For additional
information, refer to the NissanConnect®
Manual (for Leaf ).WARNING
• Radio waves could adversely affect electric medical equipment. For ad-
ditional information, refer to your
electric medical equipment manu-
facturer for the possible effect on
pacemakers before using the re-
mote climate control.

Servicing climate control
The climate control system in your NISSAN
is charged with a refrigerant designed with
the environment in mind. This refrigerant
will not harm the earth’s ozone layer. Spe-
cial charging equipment and lubricant are
required when servicing your NISSAN cli-
mate control. Using improper refrigerants
or lubricants will cause severe damage to
your climate control system. For additional
information, refer to “Recommended
fluids/lubricants and capacities” in the
“Technical and consumer information” sec-
tion.
It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN
certified LEAF dealer to service your envi-
ronmentally friendly climate control sys-
tem.
RADIO
Push the power switch to the ACC or ON
position and press the
(power) 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 sig-
nal strength, distance from radio transmit-
ter, buildings, bridges, mountains and other
external influences. 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 en-
hance radio reception. These circuits are
designed to extend reception range, and to
enhance the quality of that reception. However, there are some general charac-
teristics of both FM and AM radio signals
that can affect radio reception quality in a
moving vehicle, even when the finest
equipment is used. These characteristics
are completely normal in a given reception
area and do not indicate any malfunction
in your NISSAN radio system.
Reception conditions will constantly
change because of vehicle movement.
Buildings, terrain, signal distance and inter-
ference from other vehicles can work
against ideal reception. Described below
are some of the factors that can affect your
radio reception.
Some cellular phones or other devices may
cause interference or a buzzing noise to
come from the audio system speakers.
Storing the device in a different location
may reduce or eliminate the noise.
AUDIO SYSTEM (MODELS WITHOUT
NISSANCONNECT® SYSTEM)
4-46Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems

When installing a CB, ham radio or car
phone in your vehicle, be sure to observe
the following precautions; otherwise, the
new equipment may adversely affect the
EV control system and other electronic
parts.
WARNING
• A cellular phone should not be used for any purpose while driving so full
attention may be given to vehicle
operation. Some jurisdictions pro-
hibit the use of cellular phones while
driving.
• If you must make a call while your vehicle is in motion, the hands free
cellular phone operational mode is
highly recommended. Exercise ex-
treme caution at all times so full at-
tention may be given to vehicle op-
eration.
• If you are unable to devote full at- tention to vehicle operation while
talking on the phone, pull off the
road to a safe location and stop your
vehicle.
CAUTION
• Keep the antenna as far away as possible from the electronic control
modules.
• Keep the antenna wire more than 8 in (20 cm) away from the electronic
control system harnesses. Do not
route the antenna wire next to any
harness.
• Adjust the antenna standing-wave ratio as recommended by the manu-
facturer.
• Connect the ground wire from the CB radio chassis to the body.
• For additional information, it is rec- ommended that you visit a NISSAN
certified LEAF dealer.
WARNING
• Use a phone af ter stopping your ve- hicle in a safe location. If you have to
use a phone while driving, exercise
extreme caution at all times so full
attention may be given to vehicle
operation.
• If you are unable to devote full at- tention to vehicle operation while
talking on the phone, pull off the
road to a safe location and stop your
vehicle.

• When replacing a wheel without theTPMS such as the spare tire, the
TPMS will not function and the low
tire pressure warning light will flash
for approximately 1 minute. The light
will remain on af ter 1 minute. Have
your tires replaced and/or TPMS
system reset as soon as possible. It
is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN certified LEAF dealer for this
service.
• Replacing tires with those not origi- nally specified by NISSAN could af-
fect the proper operation of the
TPMS.
• Do not inject any tire liquid or aero- sol tire sealant into the tires, as this
may cause a malfunction of the tire
pressure sensors.
CAUTION
• The TPMS may not function properly when the wheels are equipped with
tire chains or the wheels are buried
in snow. • Do not place metalized film or any
metal parts (antenna, etc.) on the
windows. This may cause poor re-
ception of the signals from the tire
pressure sensors, and the TPMS will
not function properly.
Some devices and transmitters may tem-
porarily interfere with the operation of the
TPMS and cause the low tire pressure
warning light to illuminate. Some examples
are:
•
Facilities or electric devices using similar ra-
dio frequencies that are near the vehicle.
• If a transmitter set to similar frequencies is being used in or near the vehicle.
• If a computer (or similar equipment) or a DC/AC converter is being used in or near
the vehicle.
The low tire pressure warning light may
illuminate in the following cases:
• If the vehicle is equipped with a wheel and tire without TPMS.
• If the TPMS has been replaced and the ID has not been registered.
• If the wheel is not originally specified by NISSAN. FCC Notice:
