3-16Pre-driving checks and adjustments

Adjust the air flow direction of the vents by mov-
ing the knob (up/down, left/right) until the desired
position is achieved.
WARNING
• The air conditioning cooling function
operates only when the power switch
is in the ON position or when the
READY to drive indicator light is ON.
• Do not leave children 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, temperatures in a closed
vehicle could quickly become high
enough to cause severe or possibly
fatal injuries to people or animals.
• Do not use the recirculation mode for
long periods as it may cause the inte-
rior air to become stale and the win-
dows to fog up.
Note:
•Odors from inside and outside the vehicle
can build up in the air conditioner unit.
Odor can enter the passenger compart-
ment through the vents.
•When parking, set the heater and air con-
ditioner controls to turn off air recircula-
tion to allow fresh air into the passenger
compartment. This should help reduce
odors inside the vehicle.The climate control system (air conditioner and
heater functions) can be operated when the
READY to drive indicator light is illuminated.
However, while charging, the climate control sys-
tem can be used when the power switch is in the
ON position.
The fan, heater and air conditioning can be turned
on manually, using the timer function and using
the remote climate control function.
These functions operate in the following condi-
tions.

CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM
Heater, air conditioner, audio and phone systems4-7

• When the outside air temperature is low, the air
flow from the foot outlets will be low or may not
operate for up to 150 seconds after turning on
the air conditioner. This is not a malfunction.
• Power consumption of the climate control varies
depending on the outside temperature and the
temperature set for the climate control. Power
consumption increases if the interior tempera-
ture is cooled down too much in summer or if it
is warmed up too much in winter. This reduces
vehicle range.
• When the vehicle is in the ECO position, the
climate control operates in the ECO mode
which reduces the power consumption.• If the charger is connected to the vehicle when
it is in the ready to drive mode and the air
conditioner or heater is on, the power switch
automatically changes to the ON position. The
climate control system automatically turns off
the heater or air conditioner and switches to the
air recirculation mode. Place the power switch
in the off position to begin charging. Turn on the
desired climate control function.
• If the air conditioner or heater is on while charg-
ing, the climate control system automatically
turns off the heater or air conditioning and
switches to the air recirculation mode when
charging is complete.
• The remote climate control or climate control
timer may fog up windows depending on the set
temperature or outside temperature.
• When turning on the seat heater switch prior to
operating the remote climate control or climate
control timer, the seat heater also will turn on.
The steering wheel heater will turn on automati-
cally when the outside temperature is low.
• When the vehicle is in ECO mode, the air con-
ditioner will accordingly stay in ECO mode for
lower power consumption.
In-cabin microfilter:
The climate control system is equipped with an
in-cabin microfilter which collects dirt, pollen,
dust, etc. To make sure the air conditioner, heats,
defogs, and ventilates efficiently, replace the filter
regularly. To replace the filter, contact a NISSAN
certified LEAF dealer.
The filter should be replaced if the air flow
decreases significantly or if windows fog
up easily when operating the climate con-
trol system.
Servicing climate control
The climate control system in your NISSAN is
charged with a refrigerant designed with the en-
vironment in mind. This refrigerant will not harm
the earth’s ozone layer. Special charging equip-
ment and lubricant are required when servicing
your NISSAN climate control. Using improper
refrigerants or lubricants will cause severe dam-
age to your climate control system. See “Capaci-
ties and recommended lubricants” in the “Tech-
nical and consumer information” section for
climate control system refrigerant and lubricant
recommendations.
