.If you notice any foreign objects in
the system hardware, spill liquid on
the system or notice smoke or a
smell coming from it, stop using the
system immediately and contact a
NISSAN certified LEAF dealer.
Ignoring such conditions may lead
to accidents, fire or electrical shock.
CAUTION
.Do not use this system if you notice
any malfunctions such as a frozen
screen or the lack of sound. Con-
tinued use of the system may result
in accidents, fire or electrical shock.
. Some states/provinces may have
laws limiting the use of video
screens while driving. Use this sys-
tem only where it is legal to do so.
. Extreme temperature conditions
[below −48F( −208 C) and above
1588F (708C)] could affect the per-
formance of the system.
INFO:
Do not keep the navigation system running with
the READY to drive indicator light is OFF. Doing
so may discharge the 12-volt battery. When you
use the navigation system, always make sure the
READY to drive indicator light is ON.
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.

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.

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-

DISPLAYING ESTIMATED DRIVING
RANGE
The estimated driving range including the
current position or the destination is displayed
on the map screen depending on the charging
status of the vehicle. A destination or a waypoint
can be set on this screen.
INFO:
The estimated driving range map shows the
predicted area the vehicle can reach on the
basis of the estimated driving range that is
indicated in the meter. Driving habits, the actual
road environment (hills, etc.), and traffic condi-
tions (traffic jams, etc.) will affect the actual
available range.
The Driving Range screen is displayed by
performing the following procedure.
. Push the
button on the steering wheel.
. Push the
(Zero Emission menu) button
and touch [Driving Range].
INFO:
Models with Li-ion battery warmer:
The estimated driving range will increase or
decrease when the air conditioner, heater or Li-
ion battery warmer is turned on or off, or the
vehicle is shifted between D (Drive) and ECO, or
when any other accessory is turned on or off
based on driving.

CAUTION
If the vehicle is sold to another person,
this service must be canceled and all
data stored in the device must be
deleted to avoid having personal data
inadvertently disclosed.
NOTICE FOR USAGE
. The CARWINGSTMservice uses the TCU
(Telematics Communication Unit) . Even if
the signal strength bar of the in-vehicle data
communication module indicates good re-
ception, connection to the NISSAN CARW-
INGS Data Center may be disabled. This
does not indicate a malfunction. Operate the
system again after a few minutes.
. The CARWINGS
TMservice cannot be used
under the following conditions:
— The vehicle moves outside the service area of the TCU (Telematics Commu-
nication Unit) connection to the system.
— The vehicle is in a location with poor signal reception such as a tunnel, under-
ground parking, behind a building or in a
mountainous area.

10-6Troubleshooting guide/General system information
Energy information display
SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
The instant value shown on the energy economy
information continues to show the maximum value. This is due to power stored by the cooperative
regenerative brake being used.Battery power is stored by the cooperative regenerative
brake while driving. While this occurs, the instant value
will be displayed as the maximum. The maximum value
will be displayed until the regenerated power is
consumed.
The driving range increase/decrease when the air
conditioner/heater is ON/OFF that is displayed in the
energy usage information screen is displayed as +0
mile (+0 km) or -0 mile (-0 km). The power used for the air conditioner/heater will
decrease in response to the power used by the traction
motor and the increase/decrease difference of the
driving range will be under ±1 mile (±1 km). Also, when
the Li-ion battery available charge is low, the increase/
decrease of the driving range will also become smaller.This is not a malfunction.
