the power switch in registered place.
NOTE:
•Establishing the CARWINGS™ service is
necessary before using this service. See
LEAF Navigation System Owner’s Manual.
• To check the Li-ion battery charging status
using an internet enabled smart phone or personal computer, the following condi-
tions must be met:
– The vehicle must be located in a cellu- lar phone coverage area.
– The cellular phone must be located in an area with cellular phone coverage.
– If using a computer, the computer must be connected to the internet.
– Some cellular phones are not compat- ible and cannot be used to check the
Li-ion battery charging status. Please
confirm beforehand.

SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
Charging timer cannot be
performed. The charge cable is not connected.
Connect the charge cable.
The time on the clock is wrong. The charging timer function does not start charging based on the clock located on the upper dis-
play. Confirm that the date and time shown on the charging timer screen are the same as the GPS
time and date. If the 12-volt battery is discharged or if the Li-ion battery is disconnected, the time
setting must be updated. There must be a GPS signal to adjust the timer setting clock.
The immediate charge switch has been pushed. Charging timer does not operate when immediate charge is selected.
Charging timer has not been set. Set the charging timer schedule. See “Charging timer” in this section.
Charging does not start because the charging
timer start time and end time are set and the cur-
rent time is before the set start time.
Confirm when the charging timer time is set to start charging. Change the charging timer setting to the
desired charge time or press the immediate charge button. See “Charging timer” in this section.
Charging does not start because only the charg-
ing timer start time is set and the current time is
after the set start time.
Charging does not start because only the charg-
ing timer end time is set and the current time is
after the set end time.
Remote charge cannot be performed. The charge cable is not connected.
Connect the charge cable beforehand.
Communication with the vehicle cannot be es-
tablished. Confirm that there is a cellular signal in your location. Remote charge cannot be started unless the
web enabled smart phone can connect to the internet.
Confirm that there is a cellular signal at the vehicle location.
If the power switch is in the OFF position for more than 2 weeks, the remote charge function can no
longer be used until power switch is in ON position.

PROGRAMMING HOMELINK® FOR
CANADIAN CUSTOMERS AND
GATE OPENERS
Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmit-
ter signals to “time-out” (or quit) after several
seconds of transmission – which may not be long
enough for HomeLink® to pick up the signal
during training. Similar to this Canadian law,
some U.S. gate operators are designed to “tim-
eout” in the same manner.
If you live in Canada or you are having difficulties
training a gate operatororgarage door opener
by using the “Training” procedures, replace “Pro-
gramming HomeLink®” Step 2with the follow-
ing:
NOTE:
When programming a garage door opener,
etc., unplug the device during the “cycling”
process to prevent possible damage to the
garage door opener components.
1. See “Programing HomeLink®” step 1 in this section.
2. Using both hands, simultaneously press and hold the desired HomeLink® button and the
hand-held transmitter button. During training,
your hand-held transmitter may automatically stop transmitting. Continue to press and hold
the desired HomeLink® button while you
press and re-press (“cycle”) your hand-held
transmitter every two seconds until the fre-
quency signal has been learned. The
HomeLink® indicator light will flash slowly
and then rapidly after several seconds upon
successful training. DO NOT release until the
HomeLink® indicator light flashes slowly and
then rapidly. When the indicator light flashes
rapidly, both buttons may be released. The
rapid flashing indicates successful training.
Proceed with “Programming HomeLink®” step 3
to complete.
If the device was unplugged during the program-
ming procedure, remember to plug it back in
when programming is completed.OPERATING THE HOMELINK®
UNIVERSAL TRANSCEIVER
The HomeLink® Universal Transceiver, after it is
programmed, can be used to activate the pro-
grammed device. To operate, simply press and
release the appropriate programmed
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver button. The
amber indicator light will illuminate while the sig-
nal is being transmitted. For convenience, the hand-held transmitter of the
device may also be used at any time.
PROGRAMMING TROUBLE-
DIAGNOSIS
If HomeLink® does not quickly learn the hand-
held transmitter information, perform the follow-
ing steps.
• Replace the hand-held transmitter batteries
with new batteries.
• Position the hand-held transmitter with its bat- tery area facing away from the HomeLink®
surface.
• Push and hold both the HomeLink® and hand- held transmitter buttons without interruption.
• Position the hand-held transmitter 1 to 3 inches (2 to 8 cm) away from the HomeLink® surface.
Hold the transmitter in that position for up to 15
seconds. If HomeLink® is not programmed
within that time, try holding the transmitter in
another position while keeping the indicator
light in view at all times.
If you continue to have programming difficulties,
please contact the NISSAN Consumer Affairs
Department. The phone numbers are located in
the Foreword of this Owner’s Manual.
