.When the climate control is set as the first
priority, the Climate Ctrl. Timer will operate
when the remaining Li-ion battery power
displayed in the meter is 2 segments (15%)
or higher.
. The Li-ion battery will not charge when the
charge connector is connected to the vehicle
until the next scheduled charge start time
when the charge timer is active. If necessary,
use immediate charge or remote charge to
charge the Li-ion battery.
. 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 two
timers are not set to operate at the same
time, it is possible that the charger will not
start or that the battery will not be fully
charged.
. The Li-ion battery may not be fully charged
when the Li-ion battery warmer (if so
equipped) operates while charging using
the Charging Timer.
. Set only the end time for the timer charging
when charging in cold weather. The vehicle
automatically determines when to start char-
ging to fully charge the Li-ion battery, even if
the Li-ion battery warmer (if so equipped) operates. Charging ends before the set end
time if the Li-ion battery is fully charged.
SETTING CLIMATE CTRL. TIMERGUID-08C83252-5BFB-4B57-91CC-633E154E3261While the charger is connected to vehicle, this
function pre-heats or pre-cools the passenger
compartment of the vehicle to the set tempera-
ture before driving. This helps reduce power
consumption from the Li-ion battery.
ªUnique EV function settingsº (page 2-15)
The Climate Ctrl. Timer operates the air condi-
tioner using power from the charger. Electric
power from the Li-ion battery is not used.
The Climate Ctrl. Timer function allows two
different timer settings. Each timer charge
function can be set to activate on a different
day of the week.
Once the Climate Ctrl. Timer is set, it will
complete air conditioning by the time that is
set. It is not necessary to set the Climate Ctrl.
Timer everyday.
WARNING*8,'$$()$&%''$''Even if the Climate Ctrl. Timer is set, the
temperature in the passenger compart-
ment may become high if the system
automatically stops. Do not leave chil-
dren or adults who would normally require 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.

provided with electric power.
. If the Climate Ctrl. Timer starts operating
while the vehicle is being charged, the time
required for charging will be longer.
. Operating the Climate Ctrl. Timer or remote
climate control in an environment where the
temperature is low may decrease the rate of
battery charge.
. Timer setting can also be changed while
Climate Ctrl. timer is operated. When the
power position is switched to OFF, the air
conditioner starts or enters waiting mode
depending on the new timer settings.
. When the difference in temperature between
the air conditioner setting temperature and
the temperature outside the vehicle is large, the temperature inside the vehicle may not
be maintained at the setting temperature.
. The charging status indicator lights illumi-
nate in a specific pattern when the Li-ion
battery warmer (if so equipped) operates.
The charging status indicator lights use the
same pattern to indicate 12-volt battery
charging, Climate Ctrl. Timer operation or
Remote Climate Control operation. The
charging status indicator lights do not
change if the Li-ion battery warmer (if so
equipped) operates at the same time as the
above features.
INFO:
. The temperature in the passenger compart-
ment 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 con-
nector is connected. Therefore, the tempera-
ture may not reach the set temperature due
to limitations in air conditioning performance,
if ambient temperature is excessively high or
low, or if the charge connector is connected
to a 120-volt plug outlet. .
The Climate Ctrl. Timer operates the climate
control function so that a comfortable
temperature is provided in the passenger
compartment at the scheduled time of
departure. The climate control is set to stop
at the scheduled time of departure.

TELEMATICS OVERVIEWGUID-C1C5881E-80DB-4665-8646-8D7BEFB4E83BIn addition to Event Data Recorders (EDRs)
mentioned in the LEAF Owner's Manual, this
vehicle is equipped with electronic modules that
monitor, control and record data concerning
various vehicle systems, including the motor,
batteries, braking and electrical systems. Other
electronic modules record information concern-
ing driving conditions, including idling, braking,
acceleration, trip and other related data, informa-
tion about your use of the car and its features
such as air conditioner or headlight usage,
diagnostic trouble codes, vehicle charging,
vehicle speed, direction and/or location.
Some of this data is stored by the vehicle for use
during vehicle servicing. Other data concerning
your vehicle's operation and performance is
wirelessly transmitted by cellular connection
through the vehicle onboard telematics system
upon vehicle start-up or at other intervals to
NISSAN. This data may be used by NISSAN for
various purposes, including: to provide you with
NissanConnect

tion of your vehicle's quality, functionality and
performance; analysis and research by NISSAN
designed to, among other things, optimize
performance of future electric vehicles including
improvements in future battery life; to 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;
authorized NISSAN certified LEAF dealers;
NISSAN's marketing partners; your fleet com-
pany, if your vehicle is a fleet vehicle; your rental
company, if your vehicle is a rental vehicle; and
third party service providers such as cellular,
information systems and data management
providers.
State and provincial laws allow access and use
of data recorded by vehicle devices with the
consent of the vehicle owner or pursuant to
subscription agreement. 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 dependent on vehicle
telematics will not operate as intended or
designed. These may include features such as
automatic charging station map updates, remote
battery state of charge check, charging complete
notice, remote plug in reminder, remote charging
on, remote climate control on, drive route
planning, driving tips to improve range, driving
history, billing simulation, ECO ranking, ECO
forest, maintenance reminders, etc. Other fea-
tures that may be developed and offered by
NISSAN in the future may also not function
without telematics data transmission.
NissanConnect
SMEV telematics services are
provided by NISSAN pursuant to a subscription
