This vehicle is equipped with a TCU (Telematics
Control Unit) , a communication device that
enables communication with the Nissan Data
Center for various telematics services.

When connecting to the Nissan Data Center, the
system will perform an automatic charging station information update near your home once
a month. The system will also automatically
update information for charging stations near
the current vehicle location when the Li-ion
battery charge is low. You can also manually
update the charging stations around your current
vehicle location at any time.

The air conditioner starts to operate at the time of
day and day of the week specified in the settings.
This pre cools or heats the passenger compart-
ment before starting to drive. Electric power
consumption from the Li-ion battery resulting
from heater and air conditioner operation can be
reduced because the temperature in the pas-
senger compartment is adjusted before starting
to drive.

TELEMATICS SERVICEGUID-FCB0FEA1-0475-40EF-B80A-688C81D9F43CThe TCU (Telematics Control Unit) equipped in
this vehicle enables the vehicle to use various
services (NissanConnect
SMEV) by connecting
the vehicle to Nissan Data Center.
NOTE:
. Completing the NissanConnect
SMEV
registration at a NISSAN certified LEAF
dealer at the time of vehicle purchase is
necessary to use this service.
. To check the Li-ion battery charging
status or to use the remote heater and
air conditioner using an internet en-
abled smart phone or personal compu-
ter, the following conditions must be
met:
Ð The vehicle must be located in a
cellular phone or smart phone cover-
age area.
Ð The internet enabled cellular phone
or smart phone must be located in a
cellular phone or smart phone cover-
age area.
Ð The computer must be connected to
the internet. Ð
A cellular phone capable of text
messaging must be used to receive
text message regarding vehicle
charge status.
. When the remote heater and air condi-
tioner is set, the system operates the
heater and air conditioner to adjust the
in-cabin temperature to a set tempera-
ture.
. When the charge connector is discon-
nected from the vehicle, the heater and
air conditioner operates using vehicle
Li-ion battery electric power.
. If the remote heater and air conditioner
function and Li-ion battery charging are
performed at the same time, Li-ion
battery charging will take longer than
usual due to the power used to heat or
cool the vehicle.
. Certain remote functions require a
compatible smart phone, which is not
included with vehicle.
. NissanConnect
SMEV information sys-
tem features are included through a
subscription service which requires
owner consent to activate. The sub-
scription must be active to use these
features.

When an Internet connection is available, you
can use a personal computer or an Internet-
enabled smart phone to check the battery status
and operate battery charging or the heater/air
conditioner remotely from another location.
Battery status check:
The status of the battery can be checked using
your personal computer or a internet enabled
smart phone even if you are not in the vehicle. You may also choose to have SMS messages
(text messages) sent to a cellular phone.
Unplugged status, Charge status:
By registering frequently used charging stations,
notifications can be sent to your personal
computer or cellular phone e-mail address to
inform you when the charging connector is
disconnected or charging is stopped mid-charge
at those locations.
Remote charge, Remote climate control:
Remote activation of battery charging or climate
control can be set using your personal computer
or a internet enabled smart phone.
Li-ion battery warmer status (if so
equipped):
When ambient temperature is low, the Li-ion
battery warmer operates automatically.
Notifications will be sent to the e-mail address
you have registered on the Nissan Data Center
under the following conditions in order to remind
you to connect the charging connector.
. Approximately 5 minutes after the Li-ion
battery warmer starts operating while the
power switch is in the OFF position and the
charging cable is not connected to the
vehicle. .
Approximately 5 minutes after the Li-ion
battery warmer stops operating due to low
remaining Li-ion battery power while the
power switch is in the OFF position and the
charging cable is not connected to the
vehicle.
NOTE:
. The remaining Li-ion battery power
lowers gradually while the Li-ion bat-
tery warmer is operating without con-
necting the charging connector.
. When the remaining Li-ion battery
power lowers, the Li-ion battery warmer
stops operating. When this occurs, the
Li-ion battery temperature lowers gra-
dually, and as a result the EV system
may be disabled.
