You can also search for charging stations near
the current location, set a charging station as a
destination or waypoint, and check detailed
information about charging stations.
“Finding charging station” (page 3-19)
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.
“Telematics service” (page IT-4)
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.

settings. Each timer charge can be set to activate
on a different day of the week. If no timer is set,
the charge will start immediately after connecting
the charge connector.
“Setting timer charge” (page 2-10)
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 SERVICE
The 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.

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
