2015 NISSAN LEAF heater

When the indicator light3flashes
The indicator light
3flashes when the 12-volt
battery is being charged. See “Charging the 12-
volt battery” in the “EV overview” section. The indicator will also flash for up to 5 minutes if
the electrical power to the EVSE is interrupted
during charging. Charging will restart automati-
cally when the electrical power to the EVSE is
restored if the charging connector is connected.
The charge start beep will not sound when
charging restarts.
The indicator will also flash when the following
system are operating:
• Climate Ctrl. Timer
• Remote climate control (if so equipped)
• Li-ion battery heater
When not charging
None of the lights are illuminated when the Li-ion
battery and 12-volt battery are not charging.

the regenerative brake system (Li-ion battery
charging) .
The power meter also indicates if the power
provided to the motor is limited or if regenerative
braking is limited. When power or regenerative
braking is limited, the circles on the display
change from a double circle to a single circle
2.
Regenerative braking is automatically reduced
when the Li-ion battery is fully charged to prevent
the Li-ion battery from becoming overcharged.
Regenerative braking is also automatically re-
duced when the Li-ion battery temperature is
high/low (indicated by the red/blue zones on the
Li-ion battery temperature gauge) to prevent Li-
ion battery damage.
The more regenerative braking is reduced the
more double circles change to single circles
If the Li-ion battery charge is low, power provided
to the traction motor is reduced. Motor output is
also limited if the Li-ion battery temperature is
high/low (indicated by the red/blue zones on the
Li-ion battery temperature gauge) or the Li-ion
battery charge level is low.
The more power provided to the traction motor is
reduced the more double circles change to
single circles.
DRIVING RANGE
The driving range1(miles or km) provides an
estimated distance that the vehicle can be driven
before recharging is necessary. The driving range
is constantly being calculated, based on the
amount of available Li-ion battery charge and the
actual power consumption average.
NOTE:
• The driving range display will flash when
the low battery charge warning light illu-
minates. Additionally, if you continue to
drive the vehicle in this state and the Li-
ion battery is close to being completely
discharged, “---” will be displayed. Charge
the Li-ion battery as soon as possible.
When the Li-ion battery is charged, the
original display will be restored.
• After the vehicle is charged, the displayed
driving range is calculated based on the
actual average energy consumption of the
previous driving. The displayed driving
range will vary every time the vehicle is
fully charged.
• The driving range will increases or de-
creases 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 acces-
sory is turned on or off based on driving.

LI-ION BATTERY CAPACITY LEVEL
GAUGE
This gauge indicates the amount of charge the
Li-ion battery is capable of storing.
When the capacity of the Li-ion battery de-
creases with age and usage, the level of the
gauge will also decrease.
OUTSIDE AIR TEMPERATURE
The outside air temperature is displayed in °F or
°C.
The display may differ from the actual outside
temperature displayed on various signs or bill-
boards.
ECO INDICATOR
The ECO indicator displays how economically
the vehicle is being operated.
The meter display is affected by the following
conditions:
• Accelerator pedal operation.
• Brake pedal operation.
• Driving conditions.
• Traffic conditions.
• Heater and air conditioner usage.

Driving distance and elapsed time
Driving distance:
The driving distance mode shows the total distance
(miles or km) the vehicle has been driven since the
last reset. The distance can be reset by pushing the
switchBfor longer than 1 second. (The
elapsed time is also reset at the same time.)
Elapsed time:
The elapsed time mode shows the time since the
last reset. The displayed time can be reset by push-
ing the
switchBfor longer than 1 second.
(The driving distance is also reset at the same
time.)
Settings
Settings cannot be accessed while driving.
The message, “settings can only be ac-
cessed when stationary” is also displayed
on the vehicle information display. The

• Back Select this submenu to return to the top page
of the settings mode.
• Set Clock Adjust the time (hour and minute) of the clock.
For models without navigation system, the day of
the week can also be set to use it for the climate
control timer setting. (See “Climate Ctrl. timer” in
the “Display screen, heater, air conditioner, audio
and phone systems” section.)

The heated steering wheel system is designed to
operate only when the surface temperature of the
steering wheel is below approximately 68°F
(20°C) .
Push the heated steering wheel switch to warm
the steering wheel when the power switch is in
the ON position. The indicator light
1on the
switch will illuminate.
If the surface temperature of the steering wheel is
below approximately 68°F (20°C) , the system will
heat the steering wheel and cycle off and on to
maintain a temperature above 68°F (20°C) . The indicator light will remain on as long as the sys-
tem is on.
Push the switch again to turn the heated steering
wheel system off manually. The indicator light turn
off.
NOTE:
•
If the surface temperature of the steering
wheel is above 68°F (20°C) when the
switch is turned on, the system will not
heat the steering wheel. This is not a
malfunction.
• If the outside temperature is low (approxi-
mately 50°F (10°C) or less) and the Climate
Ctrl. Timer or Remote Climate Control are
used, the steering wheel heater will auto-
matically operate in the following
conditions.
– When using the Climate Ctrl. Timer: Operates from approximately 15 min-
utes before the set departure time until
the set departure time.
– When using Remote Climate Control: Operates 15 minutes after Remote Cli-
mate Control starts. •
The heated steering wheel consumes less
power than the heater and can be used to
either help extend vehicle range by reduc-
ing heater use or to maximize comfort by
supplementing the heater.
HEATED STEERING WHEEL SWITCH
Instruments and controls2-45

The front seats and the rear outboard seats can
be warmed by built-in heaters. The switches lo-
cated on the center console and at the side of the
front passenger seatback can be operated inde-
pendently of each other.
1. Place the power switch in the ON position.
2. Push the LO or HI position of the switch, asdesired, depending on the temperature. The
indicator light in the switch will illuminate.
3. To turn off the heater, return the switch to the level position. Make sure the indicator light
goes off. The heater is controlled by a thermostat, auto-
matically turning the heater on and off. The indi-
cator light will remain on as long as the switch is
on.
When the vehicle’s interior is warmed, or before
you leave the vehicle, be sure to turn the switch
off.
NOTE:
The heated seats consumes less power
than the heater and can be used to either
help extend vehicle range by reducing
heater use or to maximize comfort by
supplementing the heater.
WARNING
Do not use or allow occupants to use the
seat heater if you or the occupants can-
not monitor elevated seat temperatures
or have an inability to feel pain in those
body parts in contact with the seat. Use of
the seat heater by such people could re-
sult in serious injury.
CAUTION
• Do not use the seat heater for ex- tended periods or when no one is us-
ing the seat.
• Do not put anything on the seat which insulates heat, such as a blanket,
cushion, seat cover, etc. Otherwise, the
seat may become overheated.
• Do not place anything hard or heavy on the seat or pierce it with a pin or similar
object. This may result in damage to
the heater.
• Any liquid spilled on the heated seat should be removed immediately with a
dry cloth.
• When cleaning the seat, never use gasoline, thinner, or any similar mate-
rials.
• If any abnormalities are found or the heated seat does not operate, turn the
switch off and have the system
checked by a NISSAN certified LEAF
dealer.
