2015 NISSAN LEAF climate settings

AT HOME AFTER DRIVING
Charging the Li-ion battery
When you return home, connect the vehicle to
the charging station installed at your home using
the normal charge connector.
Charge the vehicle or set the charging timer
function to have the vehicle charge at a specific
time. See “Charging timer” in the “Charge” sec-
tion.
1. When the power switch is turned off, thesettings of the charging timer, and the Climate
Ctrl. Timer and the charge connector lock
functions are displayed on the vehicle infor- mation display. See “Vehicle information dis-
play” in the “Instruments and controls”
section.
2. Open the charge port lid and charge port cap. See “Charge port lid” in the “Pre-driving
checks and adjustments” section.
3. Connect the charge connector to the vehicle.
4. When a charging timer is turned on, charging starts at the set time. When a charging timer
is not turned on, charging starts immediately.
NOTE:
•Charging can be started remotely, even if
charging timer is set up.
• When you have forgotten to connect the
charge connector at home, there is a func-
tion that can notify you via text message
capable cellular phone, internet enabled
smart phone or personal computer. See
“Charging related remote function” in the
“Charge” section (models with navigation
system) .
• NISSAN recommends that you connect
the normal charge cable when getting out
of the vehicle, even if it is not going to be
used. By doing this, you can get the most
out of the remote climate control (models
with navigation system) and Climate Ctrl.
Timer functions the next time you use the
vehicle.

7. The [Timer 1] indicator illuminates after thecharging timer is set. Use the same procedure
to set the Timer 2 setting.
8. Place the power switch in the OFF position, and then connect the charge connector to the
vehicle.
NOTE:
•Always place the power switch in the OFF
position after setting the charging timers.
When the power switch is in the ON posi-
tion, the Li-ion battery will not start
charging.
• The Li-ion battery may not be charged to
the expected level if the charging timer start time and end time are set so there is
not enough time to charge the Li-ion
battery.
• When either the charge start time or
charge end time is set, the charging timer
function is activated.
• When only the charging timer end time is
set, the system automatically determines
when to begin charging. The Li-ion battery
may not be charged to the expected level
in the following conditions:
– The Li-ion battery is charged in cold weather.
– The charge connector is connected to the vehicle too close to the scheduled
charging end time.
• When only the charging timer end time is
set, the system automatically stops charg-
ing when the Li-ion battery charges to a
full charge. Charging may stop before the
scheduled end time.
• Touch [Timer 1] or [Timer 2] to turn off the
charging timer function. Touch [Yes] if the
settings shown on the screen are correct.
After this operation has been performed,
the indicator disappears and the charging
timer function is turned off. The start and stop time settings are not deleted, even if
the charging timer function is turned off.
• If charging timer and the Climate Ctrl.
Timer are operating at the same time due
to an overlap of the timer settings, you can
prioritize which function receives electri-
cal power first. See LEAF Navigation Sys-
tem Owner’s Manual.
• When charging is set as the first priority,
the Climate Ctrl. Timer does not start until
10 segments of the Li-ion battery avail-
able 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 electric de-
mands of the climate control system is
more than can be provided to the Li-ion
battery for charging.
• Some charging stations used to perform
normal charge are equipped with timer
functions. If the charger timer function
and the vehicle timer are both set, and the

change the air circulation mode. When the indi-
cator light does not illuminate, the flowing air is
drawn from outside the vehicle.
Automatic air intake control:
To set the automatic control mode, press and
hold the
(intake air control) button. The
indicator light will blink twice and the inside/
outside circulation will then be controlled auto-
matically. When in automatic mode, the indicator
light will come on when inside air recirculation is
active.
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.
Climate Ctrl. Timer
The air conditioner starts to operate at the time of
day and day of the week specified in the settings.
This pre heats or pre cools the vehicle to a factory
preset temperature in the passenger compart-
ment before driving while the charger is con-
nected to vehicle. This helps reduce power con-
sumption from the Li-ion battery.
As the temperature is set to the factory default
setting, the user cannot adjust the temperature.
The Climate Ctrl. Timer operates the air condi-
tioner using power from the charger. Electric
power from the Li-ion battery is not used.
Once the Climate Ctrl. Timer is set, it automati-
cally starts when the set time is reached. It is

Operating tips:
• The automatic climate control is equipped withsensors as illustrated. The sensors
AandB
help maintain a constant temperature. Do not
put anything on or around these sensors.
• Push the AUTO switch to reduce the power consumption of the climate control system.
• When the AUTO switch is pushed, both the AUTO and A/C indicator illuminate.
• The AUTO indicator will turn off if the MODE button, A/C button, fan speed control buttons,
front defroster button, outside air circulation
button or air circulation button is pushed. • 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.
• 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

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.
