2017 NISSAN LEAF climate control

.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.

. 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.
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
SMEV; troubleshooting; evalua-
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
services agreement covering your vehicle. This
agreement is necessary for all owners. This
agreement, and an explanation of its terms and
conditions, can be found at the NissanCon-
nect
SMWebsite. Further, the operator of the
vehicle must also touch [OK] on the Navi screen
to indicate assent when requested. If you decide
at any time that you do not want your vehicle to
transmit data to NISSAN, you can deactivate the
telematics account associated with this vehicle
by canceling the subscription services agree-
ment by visiting the NissanConnect
SMWebsite
or calling NISSAN at 1-877-NOGASEV (1-877-
664-2738) . The service can be reactivated later
upon request if you choose. Simply visit the same
website or call the number above. Alternatively,
you can turn off the transmission of certain
categories of data through the use of settings

5-2
5. NissanConnectSMEV

still be transmitted if vehicle telematics features
are accessed either in the vehicle or remotely.
Your agreement to the transmission and use of
data by NISSAN can be provided in various
ways. The vehicle is equipped with a “pop up”
screen on the vehicle navigation system that will
ask for your consent to this data transfer. A
version of the following message will appear:
“Pursuant to subscription agreement, your vehi-
cle wirelessly transmits recorded vehicle data to
NISSAN for various purposes, including Nissan-
Connect
SMEV, product evaluation, research and
development. By touching [OK], you consent to
the transmission and use of your vehicle data.
See Owner’s Manual or NissanConnect
SM
Website for terms and details.” If you touch
[OK], your vehicle will transmit data as designed
in connection with the vehicle telematics system.
If you touch [Decline] your vehicle will not
transmit data. However, the telematics features
referenced above, and perhaps others, will not
be available to you. The vehicle’s static naviga-
tion system will remain operational, and you will
be able to access your radio and climate
controls.
Telematics features are dependent on cellular
data transmission. Some areas may have limited
or no cellular connectivity, resulting in a loss or
interruption of data transmission and, as a result, certain features may be temporarily unavailable.
Even if areas with good signal reception, cellular
connectivity can be adversely affected by things
such as tall buildings, apartments, tunnels,
underground parking, mountainous areas, etc.
Even if the signal strength bar of the in-vehicle
data communication module indicates good
reception, connectivity may be disrupted. This
does not indicate a malfunction. Operate the
system again after a few minutes to restore
connectivity. NissanConnect
SMEV telematics
features are offered as a convenience to the
vehicle owner. NISSAN is not responsible for,
and owner assumes all risk of, interruptions in
service or errors based on incomplete or
inaccurate data. NissanConnect
SMEV commu-
nications may be received at a verified e-mail
address or by SMS/text messaging-enabled
mobile phone. Standard text rates and/or data
usage may apply depending on your carrier.
