2013 NISSAN LEAF navigation system

You can search for charging stations near the
current location, set a charging station as a
destination or waypoint, and check detailed
information about charging stations.
“Finding charging station” (page 3-25)
When connecting to the NISSAN CARWINGS
Data Center, the system will periodically perform
an automatic update of information for charging
stations near your home. The system will also
automatically update information for charging
stations near the current vehicle location when
the Li-ion battery charge is low. You can also
manually update the charging stations around
your current vehicle location at any time.

Energy information display
Estimated driving range, average energy econ-
omy and instant energy economy are displayed.
“Viewing energy economy information”
(page 2-8)
Estimated driving range and energy usage of
various systems are displayed. Also, variation of
the estimated driving distances between the
climate control ON and OFF is displayed.

Timer functions
Charging of the Li-ion battery will automatically
start at a scheduled time according to the start
time, end time and day of the week set. The
timer charge function allows two different timer
settings. Each timer charge can be set to
activate on a different day of the week. If no
timer is set, the charge will start immediately
after connecting the charge connector.

settings. This pre cools or heats the passenger
compartment before starting to drive. Electric
power consumption from the Li-ion battery
resulting from heater and air conditioner opera-
tion can be reduced because the temperature in
the passenger compartment is adjusted before
starting to drive.

TELEMATICS SERVICE
This vehicle incorporates a communication
device that is called a TCU (Telematics Com-
munication Unit). The communication connec-
tion between this unit and the NISSAN
CARWINGS Data Center allows for various
services.
NOTE:
.Establishing the CARWINGS
TMservice
is necessary before using this service.
. To check the Li-ion battery charging
status or to use the remote heater and
air conditioner using an internet en-
abled smart phone or personal compu-
ter, the following conditions must be
met:
—The vehicle must be located in a
cellular phone or smart phone cov-
erage area. —
The internet enabled cellular phone
or smart phone must be located in a
cellular phone or smart phone cov-
erage area.
— The computer must be connected to
the internet.
— A cellular phone must be used to
communicate with the vehicle.
— A cellular phone capable of text
messaging must be used to receive
text message regarding vehicle
charge status.
. When the remote heater and air condi-
tioner is set, the system operates the
heater and air conditioner to adjust the
in-cabin temperature to a set tempera-
ture.
. When the charge connector is discon-
nected from the vehicle, the heater and
air conditioner operates using vehicle
Li-ion battery electric power.
. If the remote heater and air conditioner
function and Li-ion battery charging are
performed at the same time, Li-ion
battery charging will take longer than
usual due to the power used to heat or
cool the vehicle. .
Certain remote functions require a
compatible smart phone, which is not
included with vehicle.
. CARWINGS
TMinformation system fea-
tures are included through a subscrip-
tion service which requires owner
consent to activate. The subscription
must be active to use these features.
. CARWINGS
TMcommunications may be
received at a verified e-mail address or
by SMS/text messaging-enabled cellu-
lar phone.
. Standard text rates and/or data usage
may apply depending on your carrier.
Remote functions
When an Internet connection is available, you

can use a personal computer or an Internet-
enabled smart phone to check the battery status
and operate battery charging or the heater/air
conditioner remotely from another location.
Battery status check:
The status of the battery can be checked using
your personal computer or a internet enabled
smart phone even if you are not in the vehicle.
You may also choose to have SMS messages
(text messages) sent to a cellular phone.
Unplugged status, Charge status:
By registering frequently used charging stations,
notifications can be sent to your personal
computer or cellular phone email address to
inform you when the charging connector is
disconnected or charging is stopped mid-
charge at those locations.
Remote charge, Remote climate control:
Remote activation of battery charging or climate
control can be set using your personal computer
or a internet enabled smart phone.
Li-ion battery warmer status:
When ambient temperature is low, the Li-ion
battery warmer operates automatically.
Notifications will be sent to the e-mail address
you have registered on the NISSAN CARW-
INGS Data Center the following conditions inorder to remind you to connect the charging
connector.
.
Approximately 5 minutes after the Li-ion
battery warmer starts operating while the
power switch is in the OFF position and the
charging cable is not connected to the
vehicle.
. Approximately 5 minutes after the Li-ion
battery warmer stops operating due to low
remaining Li-ion battery power while the
power switch is in the OFF position and the
charging cable is not connected to the
vehicle.
NOTE:
. The remaining Li-ion battery power
lowers gradually while the Li-ion bat-
tery warmer is operating without con-
necting the charging connector.
. When the remaining Li-ion battery
power lowers, the Li-ion battery war-
mer stops operating. When this occurs,
the Li-ion battery temperature lowers
gradually, and as a result the EV
system may be disabled.Navigation Telematics (CAR-
