2016 NISSAN LEAF navigation

– The device has parts that may sparkinside. Do not use it where gasoline,
paint, or flammable liquids are used
or stored.
– Do not use if a malfunction occurs or if the charger has been damaged in
any manner. Return to a NISSAN
certified LEAF dealer for replace-
ment.
– The charger contains no user ser- viceable parts. Do not attempt to
repair the charger, doing so will void
your warranty.• Pass the lower side belt of the EVSE(Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment)
case securely through the fastener on
the bottom of the luggage board. If the
case suddenly becomes loose, it may
cause serious injury or death.
CAUTION
• Only charge using a standard 110 - 120 volt, 15A dedicated electrical outlet
(For example do not use an electric
generator) . Failure to do so may cause
charging to fail and could cause dam-
age to the Li-ion battery charging
equipment due to power surges.
• NISSAN recommends using Genuine NISSAN charging equipment to charge
the vehicle. Using non-NISSAN equip-
ment could cause the Li-ion battery to
not charge correctly and may damage
the Li-ion battery. • Trickle charging is performed using an AC 110 -
120 volt, 15A dedicated electrical outlet using
the EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment)
provided with the vehicle.
• The Genuine NISSAN EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) charging equipment or
trickle charge cable performs a communication
function with the vehicle before Li-ion charging
starts. If this communication does not occur
because other equipment is used, the Li-ion
battery will not charge.
• Immediate charge, charging timer and remote charge (models with navigation system) can be
performed in the trickle charge mode. For addi-
tional information, refer to “Charging methods”
in this section.

CHARGING TIMER
Use charging timer to schedule when the Li-ion
battery charges. The vehicle automatically begins
charging at the scheduled times when the charge
connector is connected to the vehicle. The timers
do not need to be reset each time the Li-ion
battery needs charging.
Charging timer
Use the charging timer to schedule when the
Li-ion battery will be charged. The vehicle auto-
matically starts charging at the scheduled time
when the charge connector is connected to the
vehicle. The timers do not need to be reset each
time the Li-ion battery needs to be charged. Two
timer settings can be saved.
With navigation system
The charging timer can save two timer settings
that include the charging start time and end time.
The charging timer can be applied to one of the
timer settings for each day of the week.
The vehicle automatically begins charging at the
scheduled times when the charge connector is
connected to the vehicle. The timers do not need
to be reset each time the Li-ion battery needs to
be charged.1. Push
and touch “Charging Timer”.
Touch “Estimated Time” to view approximate
time required to reach 100% charge.
2. Touch “Edit Schedule”. Timer charge setting screen is displayed.
3. Set preferred time and day of the week for vehicle charging.
4. After entering the information, touch “Save”. A confirmation screen is displayed.
5. Touch “OK” to confirm the setting, push the power switch to 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 in the ON position,
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 bat-
tery.
• 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 could weather.
– The Charge connector is connected to the vehicle too close to the scheduled
charging end time.
CHARGING METHODS
ChargingCH-21

•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.

Note
• For the charging timer of models without
navigation system, it allows only the time
that the charging is to STOP to be set and
does not allow the charge START time to
be set. Set the charging end time. The
vehicle automatically calculates when to
start charging based on the condition of
the power source and the estimated time
required for charging to a full level.

nected to the vehicle within 15 minutes,
the vehicle automatically returns to the
previous setting.
• Immediate charge will be available for 15
minutes before returning automatically to
the previous setting.
• To cancel immediate charge mode press
the immediate charge switch again.
• If the charge cable is disconnected, the
Li-ion battery automatically switches to
charging timer. To perform an immediate

Instant ECO driving level
The instant ECO driving level
1is displayed by
the number of bars that increase (more economi-
cal driving) or decrease (less economical driving)
depending on vehicle operation.
Long term ECO driving level
Long term ECO driving is indicated by ECO
TREE symbols. The longer the vehicle is operated
economically, the more segments of the large
ECO TREE symbol
2are displayed. When all of
the segments of the large ECO TREE symbol are
displayed, a small ECO TREE indicator
3is also
displayed, and the large ECO TREE symbol dis-
play is reset. The longer the vehicle is operated
economically, the more small ECO TREE sym-
bols are displayed. The ECO TREE symbols that
were illuminated while driving will turn off when
the vehicle power is turned off. The ECO TREE
symbols are stored in the navigation system to
show long term efficient vehicle operation.
To increase the ECO driving level and for infor-
mation about driving the vehicle efficiently, refer
to “Improve driving range” in the “EV overview”
section of this manual.
