ion battery is fully charged. Regenera-
tive brake is automatically reduced
when the Li-ion battery is fully charged
to prevent the Li-ion battery from
becoming overcharged. Regenerating
brake is also automatically reduced
when the battery temperature is high/
low (indicated by the red/blue zones
on the Li-ion battery temperature
gauge) to prevent Li-ion battery da-
mage.
. The brake pedal should be used to
slow or stop the vehicle depending on
traffic or road conditions. The vehicle
brakes are not affected by regenerative
brake system operation.
NOISE AND VIBRATION
You might experience the following noise or
vibration as a normal characteristic of this
vehicle.
.Traction motor noise from motor compart-
ment.
. Noise and vibration when releasing and
applying the electric parking brake.
. Water pump and radiator fan noise while
charging. .
Compressor and radiator fan noise when the
A/C-Heater Timer (Climate Ctrl. Timer) or
remote climate control is used.
. Relay operation noise and vibration at start-
up and shut-down of the EV (Electric
Vehicle) system (power switch placed in
the ON and OFF position) .
. Approaching Vehicle Sound for Pedestrians
(VSP) .
WARNING
The EV (Electric Vehicle) system uses a
high voltage current. Failure to follow
the proper handling instructions may
cause serious injury or death. Be sure
to read the “CH. Charging” section and
follow the procedures and guidelines
described.
LIFE WITH AN EV (scene guide)

.The A/C-Heater Timer (Climate Ctrl. Timer)
settings cannot be modified while it is
operating. If timer settings are modified
while the A/C-Heater Timer (Climate Ctrl.
Timer) is operating, these changes will be
reflected the next time the A/C-Heater Timer
(Climate Ctrl. Timer) operates.
. When charging is set as the first priority, the
A/C-Heater Timer (Climate Ctrl. Timer) does
not start until 10 segments of the LI-ION
BATTERY AVAILABLE CHARGE GAUGE
are illuminated.
. When the climate control is set as the first
priority, the climate control system will be
turned on as scheduled by the A/C-Heater
Timer (Climate Ctrl. Timer) regardless of the
remaining battery energy.
. Even when the climate control is set as the
first priority, the climate control system will
be turned off when the climate control
spends more electric than the charging Li-
ion battery.
. The Li-ion battery may not charge or may
even become discharged if the A/C-Heater
Timer (Climate Ctrl. Timer) or remote climate
control is used in low ambient temperatures.REMOTE CLIMATE CONTROL
This vehicle incorporates a communication
device that is called a TCU (Telematics Com-
munication Unit). The communication connec-
tion between this unit and NISSAN CARWINGS
Data Center allows for various remote function
services.
Even when away from the vehicle, climate
control can be started by accessing the
NISSAN CARWINGS Data Center website
using a cellular phone or a personal computer.
When operation is started, or at the set start
time, the NISSAN CARWINGS Data Center
accesses the vehicle. When the vehicle receives
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 website or by e-mail.
Establishing the CARWINGS
TMservice is ne-
cessary before using the service. See LEAF
Navigation System Owner’s Manual.

Push the switch again to turn the heated
steering wheel system off manually. The indica-
tor light turn off.
NOTE:
.If the surface temperature of the steer-
ing wheel is above 688F (208C) when
the switch is turned on, the system will
not heat the steering wheel. This is not
a malfunction.
. If the outside temperature is low (ap-
proximately 508F (108C) or less) and the
A/C-Heater Timer (Climate Ctrl. Timer)
or Remote Climate Control are used,
the steering wheel heater will automa-
tically operate in the following condi-
tions.
— When using the A/C-Heater Timer
(Climate Ctrl. Timer): Operates from
approximately 15 minutes before
the set departure time until the set
departure time.
— When using Remote Climate Con-
trol: Operates 15 minutes after Re-
mote Climate Control starts.
. The heated steering wheel consumes
less power than the heater and can be
used to either help extend vehicle
range by reducing heater use or to maximize comfort by supplementing
the heater.

— Do not use if a malfunctionoccurs or if charger has been
damaged in any manner. Return
to a NISSAN certified LEAF deal-
er for replacement.
— The charger contains no user serviceable parts. Do not at-
tempt to repair the charger,
doing so will void your warranty.
CAUTION
. Only charge using a standard 110 -
120 volt, 15A dedicated electrical
outlet (For example do not use an
electric generator) . Failure to do so
may cause charging to fail and could
cause damage to the Li-ion battery
charging equipment due to power
surges.
. NISSAN recommends using genuine
NISSAN charging equipment to
charge the vehicle. Using non-
NISSAN equipment could cause
the Li-ion battery to not charge
correctly and may damage the Li-
ion battery.
. Trickle charging is performed using an AC
110 - 120 volt, 15A dedicated electrical
outlet using the EVSE (Electric Vehicle
Supply Equipment) provided with the vehi-
cle.
. The genuine NISSAN EVSE (Electric Vehi-
cle Supply Equipment) charging equipment or trickle charge cable performs a commu-
nication function with the vehicle before Li-
ion charging starts. If this communication
does not occur because other equipment is
used, the Li-ion battery will not charge.
. Immediate charge, charging timer and re-
mote charge can be performed in the trickle
charge mode. See “Charging timer” and
“Charging related remote function” later in
this section.
