Info
The Climate Ctrl. Timer does not activate if
the charge connector is not connected to
the vehicle. When the “Battery Operation
OK” is turned on and the charging connec-
tor is not connected to the vehicle, the Cli-
mate Ctrl. Timer will activate for 15 minutes.
When the outside temperature is high, the
interior temperature may not reach the set
temperature within the 15 minutes.
Turn "Battery Operation OK" to OFF when it
is not necessary to operate air condition-
ing timer in order to prevent Li-ion battery
from discharging.
For models without Navigation System, the
Climate Ctrl. Timer operates repeatedly ev-
ery day once it is turned on.
Operating tips for using Climate
Ctrl. Timer
• The Climate Ctrl. Timer will only start when the power switch is in the LOCK/
OFF or ACC position.
• To turn off the Climate Ctrl. Timer func- tion, turn off the “Climate Ctrl. Timer1” and
"Climate Ctrl. Timer2" setting in the video
information display using the
button on the steering wheel. The start
and stop time settings will not be deleted
even if the Climate Ctrl. Timer function is
turned off.
• While the Climate Ctrl. Timer is operating, the Climate Ctrl. Timer indicator and the
charging status indicator lights flash. If
the Climate Ctrl. Timer is set to activate,
the Climate Ctrl. Timer indicator
illuminates.*
• If the Climate Ctrl. Timer starts operating while the vehicle is being charged, the
time required for charging will be longer.
• Operating the Climate Ctrl. Timer or re- mote climate control in an environment
where the temperature is low may de-
crease the rate of battery charge.

• Timer setting can also be changed whileClimate Ctrl. Timer is operated. When the
power position is switched to OFF, the air
conditioner starts or enters waiting
mode depending on the new timer
settings.
• When the difference in temperature be- tween the air conditioner setting tem-
perature and the temperature outside
the vehicle is large, the temperature in-
side the vehicle may not be maintained
at the setting temperature.
• The charging status indicator lights illu- minate in a specific pattern when the Li-
ion battery warmer operates. The charg-
ing status indicator lights use the same
pattern to indicate 12–volt battery charg-
ing, Climate Ctrl. Timer operation or Re-
mote Climate Control operation. The
charging status indicator lights do not
change if the Li-ion battery warmer oper-
ates at the same time as the above
features.
• The temperature in the passenger com- partment may not be comfortable if en-
tering 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 tem-
perature 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 Services is necessary
before using the service. For additional in-
formation, refer to the NissanConnect®
Manual.

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 remote
climate control.
• Even if the remote climate control is
set, the temperature in the passen-
ger room may become high if the
system automatically stops. Do not
leave children or adults who would
normally require the support of oth-
ers alone in your vehicle. Pets should
not be lef t alone either. On hot, sunny
days, temperatures in a closed ve-
hicle could quickly become high
enough to cause severe or possibly
fatal injuries to people or animals.
NOTE:
• To check the Li-ion battery charging status using an internet enabled smart
phone or personal computer.– The vehicle must be located in a cel- lular phone coverage area.
– The cellular phone must be located in an area with cellular phone
coverage. – The computer must be connected to
the internet.
• Some cellular phones are not compat- ible with this system and cannot be
used to check the Li-ion battery charg-
ing status. Confirm this beforehand.
Operating tips
• When the charge connector is con-nected, the climate control operates us-
ing electric power. When the charge con-
nector is disconnected from the vehicle,
the climate control operates using ve-
hicle battery electric power.
• The climate control can be operated for a maximum of 2 hours when the charge
connector is connected to the vehicle, or
a maximum of 15 minutes when the
charge connector is disconnected.
• The remote climate control will only start to operate when the power switch is in
the LOCK/OFF or ACC position.
• Remote climate control operation is not available when the vehicle is in an area of
cellular communication range. • Communication becomes unavailable
when the vehicle is not used for two
weeks or more. When the power switch is
placed in the ON position, communica-
tion with the Nissan Data Center can be
restored.
• Air conditioning is limited to the capacity of the electric power when the charge
connector is connected to the vehicle.
Therefore, the temperature may not
reach a comfortable level due to perfor-
mance of the air conditioning being lim-
ited, if the outside temperature is exces-
sively high or low, or if the charge
connector is connected to a 110 – 120-volt
outlet.
• If the power switch is in the ON position or the charge connector is disconnected,
while the remote climate control is being
operated, remote climate control opera-
tion is automatically stopped and an
e-mail is sent.
• If remote climate control operation is started while the vehicle is in normal
charge mode, the climate control oper-
ates in climate control priority mode and
charging is continued.
Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems4-39

• If remote climate control operation isstarted and charging is stopped while
the vehicle is in quick charge mode, cli-
mate control operation is also stopped.
• If the quick charge connector is con- nected and charging is not performed,
remote climate control operation starts
using the battery electric power of the
vehicle.
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, see “Recommended fluids/
lubricants and capacities” (P. 10-2).
It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN
certified LEAF dealer to service your envi-
ronmentally friendly climate control
system. There are USB/iPod® charging ports lo-
cated behind the center console. These
ports will charge compatible devices.
NOTE:
Only the USB connection port located
below the instrument panel will allow
operation of the USB/iPod® devices
through the audio system.The vehicle is equipped with a shark fin
antenna.
