2014 NISSAN LEAF navigation

• The Genuine NISSAN charging equipment
communicates with the vehicle before Li-ion
battery charging starts. If this communication
does not occur because other equipment is
used, the Li-ion battery will not charge.
• NISSAN recommends that you connect the
normal charge cable when getting out of the
vehicle, even if it is not going to be used. By
doing this, you can get the most out of the
remote climate control (models with navigation
system) and Climate Ctrl. Timer functions the
next time you use the vehicle.
To start normal charge:
1. Push the P (Park) position switch to place the
vehicle in the P (Park) position and apply the
parking brake.
2. When charging the Li-ion battery, place the
power switch in the OFF position. When the
power switch is in the ON position, the Li-ion
battery will not start charging.
3. Open the charge port lid and charge port cap.
See “Charge port lid” and “Charge port cap”
in the “Pre-driving checks and adjustments”
section.4. Connect the charge connector to the charge
port. If it is connected normally, a beep will
sound once.
5. If charging has started or if the battery is
waiting for charging timer, a beep will sound
twice and the charging status indicator light
display will change. See “Charging status in-
dicator light”.To stop normal charge:
1. Ensure that the charge connector lock is not
engaged. For more information, see “Charge
connector lock switch” in this section.
2. Press the button on the charge connector,
release the lock and remove the charge con-
nector from the charge port and properly
store it.
3. After closing the charge port cap on the
charge port, close the charge port lid.
CH-10Charging

– The charger contains no user ser-
viceable parts. Do not attempt to
repair the charger, doing so will void
your warranty.
•
Pass the lower side belt of the EVSE
(Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment)
case securely through the fastener on
the bottom of the luggage board. If the
case suddenly becomes loose, it may
cause serious injury or death.
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 dam-
age 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 equip-
ment 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 vehicle.
• The genuine NISSAN EVSE (Electric Vehicle
Supply Equipment) charging equipment or
trickle charge cable performs a communication
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 remote
charge (models with navigation system) can be
performed in the trickle charge mode. See
“Charging methods”.

CHARGING TIMER
Use charging timer to schedule when the Li-ion
battery charges. 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 charging.
With navigation system
The charging timer can save two timer settings
that include the charging start time and end time.
The charging timer can be applied to one of the
timer settings for each day of the week.
1. Push the Zero Emission button
and
touch [Charging Timer].2. Touch [Set Timer 1] or [Set Timer 2]. The
following procedure explains Timer 1 setting.
CHARGING METHODS

7. The [Timer 1] indicator illuminates after the
charging timer is set. Use the same procedure
to set the Timer 2 setting.
8. Place the power switch in the OFF position,
and then connect the charge connector to the
vehicle.
NOTE:
•Always place the power switch in the OFF
position after setting the charging timers.
When the power switch is in the ON posi-
tion, the Li-ion battery will not start charg-
ing.
•The Li-ion battery may not be charged to
the expected level if the charging timerstart time and end time are set so there is
not enough time to charge the Li-ion bat-
tery.
•When either the charge start time or
charge end time is set, the charging timer
function is activated.
•When only the charging timer end time is
set, the system automatically determines
when to begin charging. The Li-ion battery
may not be charged to the expected level
in the following conditions:
– The Li-ion battery is charged in cold
weather.
– The charge connector is connected to
the vehicle too close to the scheduled
charging end time.
•When only the charging timer end time is
set, the system automatically stops charg-
ing when the Li-ion battery charges to a
full charge. Charging may stop before the
scheduled end time.
•Touch [Timer 1] or [Timer 2] to turn off the
charging timer function. Touch [Yes] if the
settings shown on the screen are correct.
After this operation has been performed,
the indicator disappears and the charging
timer function is turned off. The start andstop time settings are not deleted, even if
the charging timer function is turned off.
•If charging timer and the Climate Ctrl.
Timer are operating at the same time due
to an overlap of the timer settings, you can
prioritize which function receives electri-
cal power first. See LEAF Navigation Sys-
tem Owner’s Manual.
•When charging is set as the first priority,
the Climate Ctrl. Timer does not start until
10 segments of the Li-ion battery avail-
able 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 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 electric de-
mands of the climate control system is
more than can be provided to the Li-ion
battery for charging.
•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
ChargingCH-23

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.
•If the Li-ion battery warmer is operating
while the Climate Ctrl. Timer or Remote
Climate Control is being used, perfor-
mance of the Climate Control will be re-
duced.
•The Li-ion battery may not charge to the
expected level using the Charging Timer
when a Start time and End time are set
while the Li-ion battery warmer operates.
•Set only the Charging Timer End time
when charging in cold weather. The ve-
hicle 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.
•The 12-volt battery can become dis-
charged if the charging timer is operated
repeatedly between the Li-ion battery
charges while the vehicle is not used for
an extended period of time.
