2017 NISSAN LEAF air condition

.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. TIMER
While 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.
“Unique EV function settings” (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
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.

deleted even if the Climate Ctrl. Timer
function is turned off.
. While the Climate Ctrl. Timer is operating,
the Climate Ctrl. Timer indicator and the
charging status 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.
. 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 OVERVIEW
In 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.
