2015 NISSAN LEAF remote start

FREEING A FROZEN DOOR LOCK
To prevent a door lock from freezing, apply deicer
through the key hole. If the lock becomes frozen,
heat the key before inserting it into the key hole or
use the remote keyless entry keyfob.
ANTI-FREEZE
In the winter when it is possible that the outside
temperature will drop below 32°F (0°C) , check
the antifreeze to ensure proper winter protection.
For additional information, see “Cooling system”
in the “Maintenance and do-it-yourself” section.
12-VOLT BATTERY
If the 12-volt battery is not fully charged during
extremely cold weather conditions, the 12-volt
battery fluid may freeze and damage the 12-volt
battery. To maintain maximum efficiency, the 12-
volt battery should be checked regularly. For ad-
ditional information, see “12-volt battery” in the
“Maintenance and do-it-yourself” section.
DRAINING OF COOLANT WATER
If the vehicle is to be left outside without anti-
freeze, drain the cooling system. Refill before
operating the vehicle. For details, see “Coolingsystem” in the “Maintenance and do-it-yourself”
section.
TIRE EQUIPMENT
SUMMER tires have a tread designed to provide
superior performance on dry pavement. How-
ever, the performance of these tires will be sub-
stantially reduced in snowy and icy conditions. If
you operate your vehicle on snowy or icy roads,
NISSAN recommends the use of MUD & SNOW
or ALL SEASON tires on all four wheels. Consult
a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer for the tire type,
size, speed rating and availability information.
For additional traction on icy roads, studded tires
may be used. However, some U.S. states and
Canadian provinces prohibit their use. Check
local, state and provincial laws before installing
studded tires.
Skid and traction capabilities of studded
snow tires, on wet or dry surfaces, may be
poorer than that of non-studded snow tires.
Tire chains may be used. For details, see “Tire
chains” in the “Maintenance and do-it-yourself”
section.
SPECIAL WINTER EQUIPMENT
It is recommended that the following items be
carried in the vehicle during winter:
• A scraper and stiff-bristled brush to remove ice
and snow from the windows and wiper blades.
• A shovel to dig the vehicle out of snow-drifts.
• Extra window washer fluid to refill the reservoir tank.
DRIVING ON SNOW OR ICE
WARNING
• Wet ice (32°F, 0°C and freezing rain) , very cold snow or ice can be slick and
very hard to drive on. The vehicle will
have much less traction or “grip” under
these conditions. Try to avoid driving
on wet ice until the road is salted or
sanded.
• Whatever the conditions, drive with caution. Accelerate and slow down
with care. If accelerating too fast, the
drive wheels will lose even more trac-
tion.
• Allow more stopping distance under these conditions. Braking should be
started sooner than on dry pavement.

offer you new or additional products or services;
and as otherwise may be required by law. Such
data may be shared with NISSAN’s parents, sub-
sidiaries, affiliates, successors or assignees; au-
thorized NISSAN certified LEAF dealers; NIS-
SAN’s marketing partners; your fleet company, if
your vehicle is a fleet vehicle; your rental com-
pany, if your vehicle is a rental vehicle; and third
party service providers such as cellular, informa-
tion systems and data management providers.
State laws allow access and use of data re-
corded by vehicle devices with the consent of the
vehicle owner or pursuant to subscription agree-
ment. While you are not required to allow such
access and use, if you do not so agree NISSAN
may be unable under applicable law to activate
the vehicle telematics system in your vehicle, and
certain features of your vehicle which are depen-
dent on vehicle telematics will not operate as
intended or designed. These may include fea-
tures such as automatic charging station map
updates, remote battery state of charge check,
charging complete notice, remote plug in re-
minder, remote charging on, remote climate con-
trol on, drive route planning, driving tips to im-
prove range, driving history, billing simulation,
ECO ranking, ECO forest, maintenance remind-
ers, etc. Other features that may be developedand offered by NISSAN in the future may also not
function without telematics data transmission.
CARWINGS™ telematics services are provided
by NISSAN pursuant to a subscription services
agreement covering your vehicle. This agreement
is necessary for all owners. This agreement, and
an explanation of its terms and conditions, can be
found at the NISSAN Owner’s Portal webpage.
Further, the operator of the vehicle must also
touch [OK] on the Navi screen to indicate assent
each time he or she starts the car. If you decide at
any time that you do not want your vehicle to
transmit data to NISSAN, you can deactivate the
telematics account associated with this vehicle
by canceling the subscription services agree-
ment by visiting the NISSAN Owner’s Portal
Webpage or calling NISSAN at 1-877-
NOGASEV (1-877-664-2738) . The service can
be reactivated later upon request if you choose.
Simply visit the same website or call the number
above. Alternatively, you can turn off the transmis-
sion of certain categories of data through the use
of settings found in the Navigation system under
Menu, CARWINGS™, Vehicle Information Shar-
ing with NISSAN. Note, turning off “Vehicle Infor-
mation Sharing with NISSAN” will only disable
the automatic sharing of information at vehicle
start-up. Certain categories of data may still betransmitted if vehicle telematics features are ac-
cessed either in the vehicle or remotely.
Your agreement to the transmission and use of
data by NISSAN can be provided in various ways.
The vehicle is equipped with a “pop up” screen
on the vehicle navigation system that will ask for
your consent to this data transfer. A version of the
following message will appear: “Pursuant to sub-
scription agreement, your vehicle wirelessly
transmits recorded vehicle data to NISSAN for
various purposes, including CARWINGS™ ser-
vices, product evaluation, research and develop-
ment. By pressing OK, you consent to the trans-
mission and use of your vehicle data. See
Owner’s Manual or NISSAN Owner’s portal
webpage for terms and details.” If you press [OK],
your vehicle will transmit data as designed in
connection with the vehicle telematics system. If
you press [Decline] your vehicle will not transmit
data. However, the telematics features refer-
enced above, and perhaps others, will not be
available to you. The vehicle’s static navigation
system will remain operational, and you will be
able to access your radio and climate controls.
Telematics features are dependent on cellular
data transmission. Some areas may have limited
or no cellular connectivity, resulting in a loss or
