2-10Unique EV functions
This function enables the batteries to be
charged and the climate control to be turned
on automatically at a regular time and day of the
week.
SETTING TIMER CHARGE
Use charging timer to schedule when the Li-ion
battery charges. You can save two timer settings
that include the charging start time and end
time. One of the timer settings can be applied to
each day of the week. The vehicle automatically
begins charging at the scheduled times when
the charge connector is connected to the
vehicle. The timers do not need to be reset
each time the Li-ion battery needs charged.
1. Push the
(Zero Emission menu) button
and touch [Charging Timer].
2. Touch [Set Timer 1] or [Set Timer 2]. The following explains the procedure for setting
Timer 1.
3. Enter the Li-ion battery charge start time.Touch [% Charge] to change the amount of
charging. Touch [END Time] to change the
time to stop charging.
INFO:
.Charging timer is performed according tothe current time setting on the bottom left
of the display. When setting the charging
timer function, be sure to check that the
current time displayed is correct.
.In the default setting, [100% Charge
(Maximizes Driving Range)] is selected.
This is called long distance mode. To
maximize vehicle range, NISSAN recom-
mends using the default setting, long
distance mode (100% charge). To ex-
tend the life span of the Li-ion battery,
use long life mode by selecting [80%
Charge (Improves Battery Longevity)]. For details, see the LEAF Owner’s
Manual.
.If OFF is selected for a day of the week,
the charging timer will not operate on
that day. The system will wait until the
next set charging time to perform char-
ging.
4. To set the timer charge for different days of
the week, touch [Assign Days]. Select the
preferred timer setting for each day of the
week. When the settings are completed,
touch [OK].
5. When the settings are completed, touch [Save Timer]. The settings confirmation
screen will be displayed.
TIMER FUNCTION OPERATION

2-12Unique EV functions
.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.

2-14Unique EV functions
.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.
