2015 NISSAN LEAF stop start

8. The indicator of “Timer 1” illuminates after theClimate Ctrl. Timer is set. Use the same pro-
cedure to set the Timer 2 setting.
9. Place the power switch to the OFF position, and then connect the charge connector to the
vehicle.
Operation tips:
• The Climate Ctrl. Timer will only start when the power switch is in the “OFF” position. Always
turn the power switch to the “OFF” position after
the Climate Ctrl. Timer is set.
• Touch “Timer 1” or “Timer 2” to turn off the Climate Ctrl. Timer function. After this operation
has been performed, the indicator turns off and
the Climate Ctrl. Timer function will be turned
off. The start and stop time settings are not
deleted even if the Climate Ctrl. Timer function
is turned off. • If OFF is selected for a day of the week, the
Climate Ctrl. timer will not operate on that day.
The system will wait until the next charging timer
set to perform charging.
• While the Climate Ctrl. Timer operates, the Cli- mate Ctrl. Timer indicator and the charging sta-
tus indicator lights flash. If the Climate Ctrl.
Timer is set to activate, the Climate Ctrl. Timer
indicator illuminates.
• If the timer charge function and the Climate Ctrl. Timer are in operation at the same time due to
an overlap of the timer settings, either function
can be set to be preferentially provided with
electric power. For the details of “Timer Priority”
settings, refer to separate LEAF Navigation
System Owner’s Manual.
• The temperature in the passenger compartment may not be comfortable if entering the vehicle
too soon before or too long after the scheduled
time of departure.
• Air conditioning is limited to the capacity of the electric power when the charge connector is
connected. Therefore, the temperature may not
reach the factory default setting due to limita-
tions in air conditioning performance, if ambient
temperature is excessively high or low, or if the charge connector is connected to a 120V
outlet.
• While the battery is being charged, the Climate Ctrl. Timer cannot be operated until the Li-ion
battery available charge gauge reached the full
mark. When the battery is not being charged,
the Climate Ctrl. Timer can be operated, even if
the Li-ion battery available charge gauge has
not reached the full mark.
• When the climate control is set on first priority, the Climate Ctrl. Timer works regardless of the
remaining battery energy.
• If the Climate Ctrl. Timer starts its operation while the vehicle is being charged, the charging
time will be prolonged.
• Operating the Climate Ctrl. Timer or remote climate control in an environment with low tem-
perature may decrease the rate of battery
charge.
• The Climate Ctrl. Timer settings cannot be modified while it is operating. If timer settings
are modified while the Climate Ctrl. Timer is
operating, these changes will be reflected the
next time the Climate Ctrl. Timer operates.

• When charging is set as the first priority, theClimate Ctrl. Timer does not start until 10 seg-
ments of the Li-ion battery available 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 climate control spends more elec-
tric than the charging Li-ion battery.
• The Li-ion battery may not charge or may even become discharged if the Climate Ctrl. Timer or
remote climate control is used in low ambient
temperatures.
Remote climate control
This vehicle incorporates a communication de-
vice that is called a TCU (Telematics Communi-
cation Unit) . The communication connection be-
tween this unit and NISSAN CARWINGS Data
Center allows for various remote function ser-
vices.
Even when away from the vehicle, climate control
can be started by accessing the NISSAN CAR- WINGS Data Center website using a cellular
phone or a personal computer.
When operation is started, or at the set start time,
the NISSAN CARWINGS Data Center accesses
the vehicle. When the vehicle receives a com-
mand for remote operation, the climate control
immediately turns ON and operates for the speci-
fied period of time. Confirmation of the ON/OFF
of the climate control operation can be checked
by accessing the website or by e-mail.
Establishing the CARWINGS™ service is neces-
sary before using the service. See LEAF Naviga-
tion System Owner’s Manual.
WARNING
• Radio waves could adversely affect electric medical equipment. For more
information, contact your electric
medical equipment manufacturer for
the possible effect on pacemakers be-
fore using the remote climate control. • Even if the remote climate control is
set, the temperature in the passenger
room may become high if the system
automatically stops. Do not leave chil-
dren or adults who would normally re-
quire the support of others alone in
your vehicle. Pets should not be left
alone either. On hot, sunny days, tem-
peratures in a closed vehicle could
quickly become high enough to cause
severe or possibly fatal injuries to
people or animals.
NOTE:
•To check the Li-ion battery charging status
using an internet enabled smart phone or
personal computer.
– 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.
– The computer must be connected to the internet.
• Some cellular phones are not compatible
with this system and cannot be used to
check the Li-ion battery charging status.
Confirm this beforehand.

Operating tips:
• When the charge connector is connected, theclimate control operates using electric power.
When the charge connector is disconnected
from the vehicle, the climate control operates
using vehicle battery electric power.
• The climate control can be operated for a maxi- mum of 2 hours when the charge connector is
connected to the vehicle, or a maximum of 15
minutes when the charge connector is
disconnected.
• The remote climate control will only start to operate when the power switch is in the OFF
position. Be sure to check that the power switch
is in the OFF position.
• Remote climate control operation is not avail- able when the vehicle is in an area of cellular
communication range.
• Communication becomes unavailable when the vehicle is not used for two weeks or more.
When the power switch is placed in the ON
position, communication with the NISSAN
CARWINGS Data Center can be restored.
• Air conditioning is limited to the capacity of the electric power when the charge connector is
connected to the vehicle. Therefore, the tem-
perature may not reach a comfortable level due to performance of the air conditioning being
limited, if the outside temperature is excessively
high or low, or if the charge connector is con-
nected to a 120V outlet.
• If the power switch is in the ON position or the charge connector is disconnected, while the
remote climate control is being operated, re-
mote climate control operation is automatically
stopped and an e-mail is sent.
• If remote climate control operation is started while the vehicle is in normal charge mode, the
climate control operates in climate control pri-
ority mode and charging is continued.
• If remote climate control operation is started and charging is stopped while the vehicle is in
quick charge mode, climate control operation is
also stopped.
• If the quick charge connector is connected and charging is not performed, remote climate con-
trol operation starts using the battery electric
power of the vehicle.

WARNING
• 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. They
could accidentally injure themselves or
others through inadvertent operation
of the vehicle. Also, 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.
• Properly secure all cargo with ropes or straps to help prevent it from sliding or
shifting. Do not place cargo higher
than the seatbacks. In a sudden stop or
collision, unsecured cargo could cause
personal injury.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM (TPMS)
Each tire, should be checked monthly when cold
and inflated to the inflation pressure recom-
mended by the vehicle manufacturer on the ve-
hicle placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If
your vehicle has tires of a different size than the
size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire infla- tion pressure label, you should determine the
proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been
equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale
when one or more of your tires is significantly
under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire
pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and
check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate
them to the proper pressure. Driving on a signifi-
cantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to over-
heat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation
also reduces power efficiency and tire tread life,
and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stop-
ping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for
proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s
responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure,
even if under-inflation has not reached the level to
trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure
telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a
TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when the
system is not operating properly. The TPMS mal-
function indicator is combined with the low tire
pressure telltale. When the system detects a
malfunction, the telltale will flash for approxi-mately one minute and then remain continuously
illuminated. This sequence will continue upon
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the mal-
function exists. When the malfunction indicator is
illuminated, the system may not be able to detect
or signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS
malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons,
including the installation of replacement or alter-
nate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent
the TPMS from functioning properly. Always
check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replac-
ing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to
ensure that the replacement or alternate tires and
wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function
properly.
Additional information
• The TPMS will activate only when the vehicle is
driven at speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h) .
Also, this system may not detect a sudden drop
in tire pressure (for example, a flat tire while
driving) .
• The low tire pressure warning light does not automatically turn off when the tire pressure is
adjusted. After the tire is inflated to the recom-
mended pressure, the vehicle must be driven at
speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h) to activate the
TPMS and turn off the low tire pressure warning
PRECAUTIONS WHEN STARTING
AND DRIVING

light. Use a tire pressure gauge to check the tire
pressure.
• The CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning ap- pears on the vehicle information display when
the low tire pressure warning light is illuminated
and low tire pressure is detected. The CHECK
TIRE PRESSURE warning turns off when the
low tire pressure warning light turns off.
The CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning ap-
pears each time the ignition switch is placed in
the ON position as long as the low tire pres-
sure warning light remains illuminated.
The CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning does not
appear if the low tire pressure warning light illu-
minates to indicate a TPMS malfunction.
• Tire pressure rises and falls depending on the heat caused by operation of the vehicle and the
outside temperature. A low outside temperature
can decrease the temperature of the air inside
the tire, which can cause a lower tire inflation
pressure. This may cause the low tire pressure
warning light to illuminate. If the warning light
illuminates in low ambient temperature, check
the tire pressure for all four tires.
For additional information, see “Low tire pressure
warning light” in the “Instruments and controls” section and “Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)” in the “In case of emergency” section.
WARNING
• Radio waves could adversely affect electric medical equipment. Those
who use a pacemaker should contact
the electric medical equipment manu-
facturer for the possible influences be-
fore use.
• If the low tire pressure warning light illuminates while driving, avoid sud-
den steering maneuvers or abrupt
braking, reduce vehicle speed, pull off
the road to a safe location and stop the
vehicle as soon as possible. Driving
with under-inflated tires may perma-
nently damage the tires and increase
the likelihood of tire failure. Serious
vehicle damage could occur and may
lead to an accident and could result in
serious personal injury. Check the tire
pressure for all four tires. Adjust the
tire pressure to the recommended
COLD tire pressure shown on the Tire
and Loading Information label to turn
the low tire pressure warning light
OFF. If the tire is flat, repair it as soon
as possible. (See “Flat tire” in the “In
case of emergency” section for chang-
ing a flat tire.) • When a wheel is replaced, the TPMS
will not function and the low tire pres-
sure warning light will flash for ap-
proximately 1 minute. The light will re-
main on after 1 minute. Contact a
NISSAN certified LEAF dealer as soon
as possible for tire replacement
and/or system resetting.
• Replacing tires with those not origi- nally specified by NISSAN could affect
the proper operation of the TPMS.
• Contact a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer as soon as possible after using
tire repair sealant (for models
equipped with the emergency tire
puncture repair kit) .
CAUTION
• The TPMS may not function properly when the wheels are equipped with
tire chains or the wheels are buried in
snow.
• Do not place metalized film or any metal parts (antenna, etc.) on the win-
dows. This may cause poor reception
of the signals from the tire pressure
sensors, and the TPMS will not func-
tion properly.
Starting and driving5-3

Some devices and transmitters may temporarily
interfere with the operation of the TPMS and
cause the low tire pressure warning light to illu-
minate. Some examples are:
• Facilities or electric devices using similar radiofrequencies that are near the vehicle.
• If a transmitter set to similar frequencies is being used in or near the vehicle.
• If a computer (or similar equipment) or a DC/AC converter is being used in or near the vehicle.

TPMS with Easy Fill Tire Alert
When tire pressure is low, the low tire pressure
warning light illuminates.
This vehicle provides visual and audible signals to
help you inflate the tires to the recommended
COLD tire pressure.
Vehicle set-up:
1. Park the vehicle in a safe and level place.
2. Apply the parking brake and push the P (Park)
position switch on the shift lever.
3. Place the power switch in the ON position. Do not place in the READY to drive mode.
Operation:
1. Add air to the tire. 2. After a few seconds, the hazard indicators will
start flashing.
3. When the designated pressure is reached, the horn beeps once and the hazard indica-
tors stop flashing.
4. Perform the above steps for each tire.
• If the tire is over-inflated more than approxi- mately 4 psi (30 kPa) , the horn beeps and the
hazard indicators flash 3 times. To correct the
pressure, push the core of the valve stem on the
tire briefly to release pressure. When the pres-
sure reaches the designated pressure, the horn
beeps once.
• If the hazard indicator does not flash within approximately 15 seconds after starting to in-
flate the tire, it indicates that the Easy Fill Tire
Alert is not operating.
• The TPMS will not activate the Easy Fill Tire Alert under the following conditions: – If there is interference from an external de- vice or transmitter.
– The air pressure from the inflation device is not sufficient to inflate the tire such as those
using a power socket.
– If an electrical equipment is being used in or near the vehicle.
– There is a malfunction in the TPMS system.
5-4Starting and driving

– There is a malfunction in the horn or hazardindicators.
– If the Easy Fill Tire Alert does not operate due to TPMS interference, move the vehicle
about 3 ft (1 m) backward or forward and try
again.
If the Easy Fill Tire Alert is not working, use a tire
pressure gauge.
AVOIDING COLLISION AND
ROLLOVER
WARNING
Failure to operate this vehicle in a safe
and prudent manner may result in loss of
control or an accident.
Be alert and drive defensively at all times. Obey
all traffic regulations. Avoid excessive speed,
high speed cornering, or sudden steering ma-
neuvers, because these driving practices could
cause you to lose control of your vehicle. As with
any vehicle, a loss of control could result in
a collision with other vehicles or objects, or
cause the vehicle to rollover, particularly if
the loss of control causes the vehicle to
slide sideways. Be attentive at all times, and avoid driving when tired. Never drive when under
the influence of alcohol or drugs (including pre-
scription or over-the-counter drugs which may
cause drowsiness) . Always wear your seat belt
as outlined in the “Seat belts” in the “Safety —
Seats seat belts and supplemental restraint sys-
tem” section of this manual, and also instruct your
passengers to do so.
Seat belts help reduce the risk of injury in colli-
sions and rollovers.
In a rollover crash, an
unbelted or improperly belted person is
significantly more likely to be injured or
killed than a person properly wearing a
seat belt.
OFF-ROAD RECOVERY
While driving, the right side or left side wheels
may unintentionally leave the road surface. If this
occurs, maintain control of the vehicle by follow-
ing the procedure below. Please note that this
procedure is only a general guide. The vehicle
must be driven as appropriate based on the con-
ditions of the vehicle, road and traffic.
1. Remain calm and do not overreact.
2. Do not apply the brakes.
3. Maintain a firm grip on the steering wheel with both hands and try to hold a straight course. 4. When appropriate, slowly release the accel-
erator pedal to gradually slow the vehicle.
5. If there is nothing in the way, steer the vehicle to follow the road while the vehicle speed is
reduced. Do not attempt to drive the vehicle
back onto the road surface until vehicle speed
is reduced.
6. When it is safe to do so, gradually turn the steering wheel until both tires return to the
road surface. When all tires are on the road
surface, steer the vehicle to stay in the appro-
priate driving lane.
• If you decide that it is not safe to return the vehicle to the road surface based on vehicle,
road or traffic conditions, gradually slow the
vehicle to a stop in a safe place off the road.RAPID AIR PRESSURE LOSS
Rapid air pressure loss or a “blow-out” can occur
if the tire is punctured or is damaged due to
hitting a curb or pothole. Rapid air pressure loss
can also be caused by driving on under-inflated
tires.
Rapid air pressure loss can affect the handling
and stability of the vehicle, especially at highway
speeds.
