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-
WINGSTMservice)
When the system connects to the NISSAN
CARWINGS Data Center, charging station
information will be automatically updated and
you can receive useful information for driving
your vehicle.
Automatic update of charging stations:
The information for the charging stations that is
recorded in the map data is automatically
updated.
All Information Feeds:
Convenient information for driving such as
weather and traffic information, ECO information
shared with the LEAF users, etc. is provided.

.When the climate control is set as the first
priority, the Climate Ctrl. Timer will not
operate until the remaining Li-ion battery
power displayed in the meter is 2 segments
(15%) or higher.
. The Li-ion battery will not charge when the
charge connector is connected to the
vehicle until the next scheduled charge start
time when the charge timer is active. If
necessary, use immediate charge or remote
charge to charge the Li-ion battery.
. Some charging stations used to perform
normal charge are equipped with timer
functions. If the charger timer function and
the vehicle timer are both set, and the two
timers are not set to operate at the same
time, it is possible that the charger will not
start or the battery will not be charged to the
level expected.
. The Li-ion battery may not charge to the
expected level when the Li-ion battery
warmer operates while charging using the
Charging Timer.
. Set only the Charging Timer End time when
charging in cold weather. The vehicle
automatically determines when to start
charging to fully charge the Li-ion battery,
even if the Li-ion battery warmer operates.
Charging ends before the set End time if the Li-ion battery is fully charged.
SETTING CLIMATE CTRL. TIMER
While the charger is connected to vehicle, this
function pre-heats or pre-cools the passenger
compartment of the vehicle to the set tempera-
ture before driving. This helps reduce power
consumption from the Li-ion battery.
“Temperature settings” (page 2-14)
The Climate Ctrl. Timer operates the air condi-
tioner using power from the charger. Electric
power from the Li-ion battery is not used.
The Climate Ctrl. Timer function allows two
different timer settings. Each timer charge
function can be set to activate on a different
day of the week.
Once the Climate Ctrl. Timer is set, it will
complete air conditioning by the time that is set.
It is not necessary to set the Climate Ctrl. Timer
everyday.
WARNING
Even if the Climate Ctrl. Timer is set, the
temperature in the passenger compart-
ment may become high if the system
automatically stops. Do not leave chil-
dren or adults who would normally
require the support of others alone in your vehicle. Pets should not be left
alone either. On hot, sunny days, tem-
peratures in a closed vehicle could
quickly become high enough to cause
severe or possibly fatal injuries to
people or animals.
Timer settings
1. Push the(Zero Emission menu) button
and touch [Climate Ctrl. Timer].
2. Touch [Set Timer 1] or [Set Timer 2]. The following explains the procedure for setting
Timer 1.

.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 remote
climate control in an environment where the
temperature is low may decrease the rate of
battery charge.
. Timer setting can also be changed while
Climate 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 charging is set as the first priority, the
Climate Ctrl. Timer does not start until 10
segments (80%) of the Li-ion battery avail-
able charge gauge are illuminated.
. When the difference in temperature be-
tween the air conditioner setting tempera-
ture and the temperature outside the vehicle
is large, the temperature inside the vehicle
may not be maintained at the setting
temperature.
. The charging status indicator lights illumi-
nate in a specific pattern when the Li-ion
battery warmer operates. The charging
status indicator lights use the same pattern
to indicate 12-volt battery charging, Climate
Ctrl. Timer operation or Remote Climate
Control operation. The charging status indicator lights do not change if the Li-ion
battery warmer operates at the same time as
the above features. See LEAF Owner’s
Manual for details of the charging status
indicator lights.
Temperature settings
1. Push the(Zero Emission menu) button.
Touch [Settings].
2. Touch [Timer/Remote - Set Climate Temp].
3. Set the temperature and touch [OK].
INFO:
. The temperature in the passenger compart-
ment may not be comfortable if entering the
vehicle too soon before or too long after the
scheduled time of departure.
. Air conditioning is limited to the capacity of
the electric power when the charge con-
nector is connected. Therefore, the tem-
perature may not reach the set temperature
due to limitations in air conditioning perfor-
mance, if ambient temperature is excessively
high or low, or if the charge connector is
connected to a 120 V plug outlet.
. The Climate Ctrl. Timer operates the climate
control function so that a comfortable
temperature is provided in the passenger
compartment at the scheduled time of
departure. The climate control is set to stop
at the scheduled time of departure.
