The charge connector lock is unlocked for 30
seconds.
3. After 30 seconds, the charge connector lock is locked.
NOTE:
•Depending on the charging station, the
lock mechanism established by local
standards may not be compatible with
your vehicle. It may not be possible for the
charge connector to lock to your vehicle.
• When the power source is cut off while
charging in AUTO mode, the connector
will be continuously locked for 5 minutes,
then it will be released.
• When timer charging is set with AUTO
mode, the connector will not lock until
charging is started.
• In AUTO mode, the charge connector lock
will only lock during normal charging.
• When the following systems are operated
individually or the 12-volt battery is being
charged, the charging connector lock will
not lock:
• Climate Ctrl. Timer
• Remote climate control (if so equipped)
• Li-ion battery warmer (if so equipped)

CH-20Charging

•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.
• 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. For additional information,
refer to “Leaf Navigation System Owner’s
Manual”.
• When charging is set as the first priority,
the Climate Ctrl. Timer does not start until
10 segments (80%) of the Li-ion battery
available charge gauge are illuminated.
• 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
two timers are not set to operate at the same time, it is possible that the charger
will snot start or the battery will not be
charged to the level expected.
• If the Li-ion battery warmer (if so
equipped) is operating while the Climate
Ctrl. Timer or Remote Climate Control is
being used, performance of the Climate
Control will be reduced.
• The Li-ion battery may not charge to the
expected level using the Charging Timer
when a Start time and End time are set
while the Li-ion battery warmer (if so
equipped) operates.
• Set only the Charging Timer End time
when charging in cold weather. The ve-
hicle automatically determines when to
start charging 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 bat-
tery is fully charged.
• The 12–volt battery can become dis-
charged if the charging timer is operated
repeatedly between the Li-ion battery
charges when the vehicle is not used for
an extended period of time. •
Charging timer is performed according to
the current time setting on the bottom left
of the display. When setting the charging
timer function, be sure to check that the
current time displayed is correct.
• To turn off the charging timer function,
touch ON on the timer charge setting
screen until the indicator lights are turned
off. Touch SAVE to apply the change. If the
settings shown on the screen are correct,
touch OK. 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 func-
tion is turned off.
• If the day of the week is not selected on
the timer charge setting screen, the charg-
ing timer will not operate on that day. The
system will wait until the net set charging
time to perform charging.
CH-22Charging

The indicator will also flash for up to 5 minutes if
the electrical power to the EVSE is interrupted
during charging. Charging will restart automati-
cally when the electrical power to the EVSE is
restored if the charging connector is connected.
The charge start beep will not sound when
charging restarts.
The indicator will also flash when the following
systems are operating:
• Climate Ctrl. Timer
• Remote climate control (if so equipped)
• Li-ion battery heater (if so equipped)When not charging
None of the lights are illuminated when the Li-ion
battery and 12-volt battery are not charging.

INDICATOR FOR TIMER
When the power switch is turned off, this display
appears for 10 seconds. If theswitch is
pushed within 10 seconds, the display can be
selected and each setting information display
can be confirmed.
1. Timer setting status (charging and
Climate Ctrl.) and charge connector
lock setting status
The timer setting status (ON or OFF) of the
charge and the climate control and the charge
connector lock setting status (AUTO, LOCK or
UNLOCK) can be checked.
2. Charging Timer setting confirmation
The “Charging Timer” starting hours, minutes and
days for the next charge time that has been set
can be checked.
3. Charging time
Displays the estimated time to charge the Li-ion
battery to a full charge. When fully charged, the
remaining charging time is displayed as “--:--”.
Note
Charging may finish sooner than the dis-
played charging time.
4. Climate Ctrl. Timer setting
confirmation
The set time for ending hours and days of the
Climate Ctrl. Timer is displayed. Your vehicle has two types of security systems,
as follows:
• Vehicle security system
• NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System
The security status is shown by the security indi-
cator light.

If the surface temperature of the steering wheel is
below approximately 68°F (20°C) , the system will
heat the steering wheel and cycle off and on to
maintain a temperature above 68°F (20°C) . The indi-
cator light will remain on as long as the system is on.
Push the switch again to turn the heated steering
wheel system off manually. The indicator light
turns off.
NOTE:
•If the surface temperature of the steering
wheel is above 68°F (20°C) when the
switch is turned on, the system will not
heat the steering wheel. This is not a mal-
function.
• If the outside temperature is low (approxi-
mately 50°F (10°C) or less) and the Climate
Control Timer or Remote Climate Control
are used, the steering wheel heater will
automatically operate in the following
conditions. – When using the Climate Control Timer: Operates from approximately 15 min-
utes before the set departure time until
the set departure time.
– When using Remote Climate Control: Operates 15 minutes after Remote Cli-
mate Control starts. •
The heated steering wheel consumes less
power than the heater and can be used to
either help extend vehicle range by reduc-
ing heater use or to maximize comfort by
supplementing the heater.
To sound the horn, push the center pad area of
the steering wheel.
WARNING
Do not disassemble the horn. Doing so
could affect proper operation of the
supplemental front air bag system. Tam-
pering with the supplemental front air
bag system may result in serious per-
sonal injury.

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 or air condi-
tioner controls to turn off air recirculation
to allow fresh air into the passenger com-
partment. This should help reduce odors
inside the vehicle. The climate control system (air conditioner and
heater functions) can be operated when the
READY to drive indicator light is illuminated.
However, while charging, the climate control sys-
tem can be used when the power switch is in the
ON position.
The fan, heater and air conditioning can be turned
on manually, using the timer function and using
the remote climate control function.
These functions operate in the following condi-
tions.

*1: The climate control system will only start when charging is being performed. After charging is complete, it will continue to operate if the EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment)
is connected.
*2: The EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) must be connected.
*3: Models with navigation system.
Note
• A series of operation sounds may be
heard immediately after climate control
ON/OFF operation. This is not a malfunc-
tion.
• Compressor and motor fan may suddenly
start to operate during charging opera-
tion. This is not a malfunction. •
Condensation forms inside the air condi-
tioning unit when the air conditioner is
running, and is safely discharged under-
neath your vehicle. Traces of water on the
ground are therefore normal. Water may
drop underneath the vehicle when climate
control is operating.
