climate control NISSAN LEAF 2020 Owner´s Manual

NOTE:
• When charging the Li-ion battery, placethe power switch in the OFF position.
When the power switch is in the ON
position, the Li-ion battery will not
start charging.
• For your safety, if the charge connector is connected to the vehicle while the
power switch is in the READY to drive,
the vehicle will automatically switch to
the ON position. Because charging will
not be started while the power switch
is in this position, be sure to place the
power switch in the OFF position.
• When the ambient temperature is 32°F (0°C) or less, charging time may be lon-
ger than normal and the level to which
the Li-ion battery can be charged may
be less than at higher temperatures.
• Do not operate the charging timer re- peatedly while the charge connector is
connected to the vehicle af ter the Li-
ion battery charging is completed. Do-
ing so may discharge the 12-volt bat-
tery. For additional information, refer
to “Charging timer” in this section. If
the Li-ion battery becomes dis-
charged, charge it immediately. • The power switch can be set to the ON
position and the climate control and
navigation system (if so equipped) can
be used while the Li-ion battery is
charging. However, because these op-
erations consume Li-ion battery
power, it will take longer for the Li-ion
battery to become fully charged. Place
the power switch in the OFF position to
help reduce Li-ion battery charge time.
• If electrical power is interrupted while charging, charging restarts automati-
cally when the electrical power is re-
stored.
• It is recommended to keep the charge cable connected to save Li-ion battery
power, when the heater and air condi-
tioner are operating with remote op-
eration (models with Navigation Sys-
tem).
• If the charge port is frozen, melt the ice using a hair dryer. Af ter the ice has
melted, charge the Li-ion battery. Forc-
ing the charge connector to connect
may cause a malfunction. • If foreign materials have entered the
charge connector and charge port and
it is not possible to connect it, do not
attempt to force the connection. It is
recommended that you visit a NISSAN
certified LEAF dealer. Forcing the
charge connector to connect may
cause damage to the charging equip-
ment and vehicle.
• There is a hole on the charge port for water drainage. If the water drainage
hole becomes blocked, or if water gets
trapped inside the charge port, do not
charge. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer.
CH-4Charging

• Normal charge uses the charging device(AC 220 - 240 volt, 16A or 32A) that can be
installed in your home to charge the Li-
ion battery.
• Immediate charge, charging timer and remote charge (models with Navigation
System) can be performed in the normal
charge mode. For additional information,
refer to “Charging methods” in this sec-
tion.
• The charging equipment communicates with the vehicle before Li-ion battery
charging starts. If this communication
does not occur because other equip-
ment is used, the Li-ion battery will not
charge.
• NISSAN recommends that you connect the charging device when getting out of
the vehicle, even if it is not going to be
used. By doing this, you can get the most
out of the remote climate control (mod-
els with Navigation System) and Climate
Ctrl. Timer functions the next time you
use the vehicle.To start normal charge:
1. Push the P (Park) position switch to place the vehicle in the P (Park) position and
apply the parking brake.
2. When charging the Li-ion battery, place the power switch in the OFF position.
When the power switch is in the ON po-
sition, the Li-ion battery will not start
charging.
3. Open the charge port lid and charge port cap. For additional information, re-
fer to “Charge port lid” and “Charge port
cap” in the “Pre-driving checks and ad-
justments” section of this manual.
4. Connect the charge connector to thecharge port. If it is connected normally, a
beep will sound once.
5. If charging has started or if the battery is waiting for the charging timer, a beep
will sound twice and the charging status
indicator light display will change. For
additional information, refer to “Charg-
ing status indicator lights” in this section.

NOTE:
• Depending on the charging station, thelock mechanism established by local
standards may not be compatible with
your vehicle. It may not be possible for
the charge connector to lock to your
vehicle.
• When the power source is cut off while charging in AUTO mode, the connector
will be continuously locked for 5 min-
utes, then it will be released.
• When timer charging is set with AUTO mode, the connector will not lock until
charging is started.
• When the following system(s) are oper- ated individually or the 12-volt battery
is being charged, the charging connec-
tor lock will not lock:– Climate Ctrl. Timer
– Remote climate control (if so equipped)
– Li-ion battery warmer (if so equipped)
If the charge connector cannot be
unlocked

2. Open the hood.
3. Insert a flat head screwdriver or suitable tool into the screw that is located on the
front of the hood lock.
4. Turn it clockwise to release the charge connector lock.
5. Remove the charge connector.
CHARGING TIMER
Use charging timer to schedule when the
Li-ion battery charges. The vehicle auto-
matically begins charging at the scheduled
times when the charge connector is con-
nected to the vehicle. The timers do not
need to be reset each time the Li-ion bat-
tery needs charging.
The charging timer can save two timer set-
tings that include the charging start time
and end time. The charging timer can be
applied to the timer settings for each day
of the week (models with Navigation Sys-
tem).
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.
