WARNING
• Radio waves could adversely affect
electric medical equipment. Those
who use a pacemaker should contact
the electric medical equipment
manufacturer for the possible influ-
ences before use.
• The Intelligent Key transmits radio
waves when the buttons are pressed.
The FAA advises the radio waves may
affect aircraf t navigation and com-
munication systems. Do not operate
the Intelligent Key while on an air-
plane. Make sure the buttons are not
operated unintentionally when the
unit is stored for a flight.
• Never leave the Intelligent Key in the
vehicle when you leave the vehicle.
The Intelligent Key system can operate all
the door locks using the remote control
function or pushing the request switch on
the vehicle without taking the key out from
a pocket or purse. The operating environ-
ment and/or conditions may affect the In-
telligent Key system operation.
Be sure to read the following before using
the Intelligent Key system.CAUTION
Be sure to carry the Intelligent Key with
you when operating the vehicle.
The Intelligent Key is capable of receiving
and transmitting radio waves. The Intelli-
gent Key system transmits weak radio
waves from various distances. Environ-
mental conditions may interfere with the
operation of the Intelligent Key system un-
der the following operating conditions:
• When operating near a location where strong radio waves are transmitted, such
as a TV tower, power station and broad-
casting station.
• When in possession of wireless equip- ment, such as a cellular telephone, trans-
ceiver or a CB radio.
• When the Intelligent Key is in contact with or covered by metallic materials.
• When any type of radio wave remote con- trol is used nearby.
• When the Intelligent Key is placed near an electric appliance such as a personal
computer.
• When the vehicle is parked near a parking meter. In such cases, correct the operating condi-
tions before using the Intelligent Key func-
tion or use the mechanical key.
Although the life of the battery varies de-
pending on the operating conditions, the
battery’s life is approximately two years. If
the battery is discharged, replace it with a
new one.
When the Intelligent Key battery is low, the
“Key Battery Low” indicator illuminates in
the vehicle information display. For addi-
tional information, see “Key Battery Low”
(P. 2-34).
Since the Intelligent Key is capable of re-
ceiving radio waves, if the key is lef t near
equipment which transmits strong radio
waves, such as signals from a TV and per-
sonal computer, the battery life may be-
come shorter.
For additional information, see “NISSAN In-
telligent Key® battery replacement” (P. 8-19).
Pay special attention that the vehicle bat-
tery is not completely discharged.

erate all door locks using the remote key-
less function of the Intelligent Key. The re-
mote keyless function can operate at a
distance of 33 f t (10 m) away from the ve-
hicle. The operating distance depends
upon the conditions around the vehicle. The remote keyless entry function will not
function under the following conditions:
• When the Intelligent Key is not within the
operational range.
• When the doors or the hatch are open or not closed securely.
• When the Intelligent Key battery is discharged.
WARNING
• Radio waves could adversely affect
electric medical equipment. Those
who use a pacemaker should contact
the electric medical equipment
manufacturer for the possible influ-
ences before use.
• The Intelligent Key transmits radio
waves when the buttons are pressed.
The FAA advises that the radio waves
may affect aircraf t navigation and

WARNING
• The air conditioning cooling function
operates only when the power
switch is in the ON position or when
the READY to drive indicator light is
ON.
• Do not leave children or adults who
would normally require the assis-
tance of others alone in your vehicle.
Pets should also not be lef t alone.
They could accidentally injure them-
selves or others through inadvertent
operation of the vehicle. Also, on hot,
sunny days, temperatures in a closed
vehicle could quickly become high
enough to causes severe or possibly
fatal injuries to people or animals. •
Do not use the recirculation mode for
long periods as it may cause the inte-
rior air to become stale and the win-
dows to fog up.
NOTE:
• Odors from inside and outside the ve- hicle can build up in the air conditioner
unit. Odor can enter the passenger
compartment through the vents.
• When parking, set the heater or air conditioner controls to turn off air re-
circulation to allow fresh air into the
passenger compartment. This should
help reduce odors inside the vehicle. The climate control system (air conditioner
and heater functions) can be operated
when the READY to drive indicator light is
illuminated. However, while charging, the
climate control system can be used when
the power switch is in the ON position.
The fan, heater and air conditioning can be
turned on manually, using the timer func-
tion and using the remote climate control
function.
These functions operate in the following
conditions.

NOTE:
• A series of operation sounds may beheard immediately af ter climate con-
trol ON/OFF operation. This is not a
malfunction.
• 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 ve-
hicle when climate control is operating.
DISPLAYING CLIMATE CONTROL
SYSTEM STATUS SCREEN (models
with navigation system)
The climate control system status screen
can be displayed as a widget. For details of
the widget, refer to the NissanConnect®
Manual.
NOTE:
• If the READY to drive indicator light isilluminated and the EVSE (Electric Ve-
hicle 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
af ter confirming that the vehicle has
started charging.
• When the power switch is in the ON position, if the power supply from the
EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equip-
ment) is interrupted due to an electri-
cal outage, etc., the system will operate
in the following ways.– If it occurs while charging is being performed:
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 af ter charging has finished:The climate control system will stop.
OPERATING TIPS
• The automatic climate control is equipped with sensors as illustrated. The
sensors
OAandOBhelp maintain a con-
stant temperature. Do not put anything
on or around these sensors.
SAA2368
Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems4-27

• Power consumption of the climate con-trol system varies depending on the out-
side temperature 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 the power 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 op-
eration of the climate control system.
• If any of the MODE, A/C,
HEAT,fan speed control,front defroster is
pushed when the AUTO indicator illumi-
nates, the AUTO indicator will be turned
off.
• If the charge connector 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. 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 op-
eration is complete. For quick charge
however, the climate control system
stops operating when charging opera-
tion stops.
• The climate control timer or remote cli- mate control (for models with Navigation
System) may fog up windows depending
on the set temperature or outside
temperature. • When turning on the seat heater (if so
equipped) switch prior to operating the
climate control timer or the remote cli-
mate control (for models with Navigation
System), the seat heater will also turn on
automatically when the outside tem-
perature 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 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
climate control system.
