your own. Additionally, always check the
remaining amount of battery charge and
set a reasonable driving schedule.
Driving range display
By pushing <>on the control panel and
selecting [Driving Range] from the menu list,
you can display the estimated one way range that
the vehicle can be driven from the current
location based on the amount of remaining
battery charge. When a destination or a waypoint
has been set, the driving area will be displayed
with the destination or waypoint in the center.

Charging stations located within the driving area
will also be displayed. By moving the map, you
can set a charging station as a destination or
waypoint.

Charging station information
NOTE:
Charging stations that have been searched
for using this function are not necessarily
equipped with devices that can be used to
charge a LEAF. Be sure to confirm this in
advance before setting a charging station
as the destination.
INFO:
Charging station information around the regis-
tered home location is updated monthly to add
newly installed charging station locations.
Icons for charging stations can be displayed on
the map.

IT. System overview

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.

battery charge is low. You can also manually
update the charging stations around your current
vehicle location at any time.

and operate battery charging or the heater/air
conditioner remotely from another location.
Battery status check:
The status of the battery can be checked using
your personal computer or a internet enabled
smart phone even if you are not in the vehicle. You may also choose to have SMS messages
(text messages) sent to a cellular phone.
Unplugged status, Charge status:
By registering frequently used charging stations,
notifications can be sent to your personal
computer or cellular phone e-mail address to
inform you when the charging connector is
disconnected or charging is stopped mid-charge
at those locations.
Remote charge, Remote climate control:
Remote activation of battery charging or climate
control can be set using your personal computer
or a internet enabled smart phone.
Li-ion battery warmer status (if so
equipped):
When ambient temperature is low, the Li-ion
battery warmer operates automatically.
Notifications will be sent to the e-mail address
you have registered on the Nissan Data Center
under the following conditions in order to remind
you to connect the charging connector.
. Approximately 5 minutes after the Li-ion
battery warmer starts operating while the
power switch is in the OFF position and the
charging cable is not connected to the
vehicle. .
Approximately 5 minutes after the Li-ion
battery warmer stops operating due to low
remaining Li-ion battery power while the
power switch is in the OFF position and the
charging cable is not connected to the
vehicle.
NOTE:
. The remaining Li-ion battery power
lowers gradually while the Li-ion bat-
tery warmer is operating without con-
necting the charging connector.
. When the remaining Li-ion battery
power lowers, the Li-ion battery warmer
stops operating. When this occurs, the
Li-ion battery temperature lowers gra-
dually, and as a result the EV system
may be disabled.

IT. System overview

.When the remote heater and air condi-
tioner is set, the system operates the
heater and air conditioner to adjust the
in-cabin temperature to a set tempera-
ture.

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

DISPLAYING ESTIMATED DRIVING
RANGE
The estimated driving range including the current
position or the destination is displayed on the
map screen depending on the charging status of
the vehicle. A destination or a waypoint can be
set on this screen.
INFO:
The estimated driving range map shows the
predicted area the vehicle can reach on the basis
of the estimated driving range that is indicated in
the meter. Driving habits, the actual road
environment (hills, etc.) , and traffic conditions
(traffic jams, etc.) will affect the actual available
range.
To display the estimated driving range, push
<
> and touch [Driving Range].
INFO:
Models with Li-ion battery warmer:
The estimated driving range will increase or
decrease when the air conditioner, heater or Li-
ion battery warmer is turned on or off, or the
vehicle is shifted between D (Drive) and ECO, or
when any other accessory is turned on or off
based on driving.
How to view driving range screen
*1The extended estimated driving range is
displayed using the possible driving dis-
tance on the meter as a radius.
*2The normal estimated driving range is
displayed based on the current charging
condition.
*3[From Dest.]:
The estimated driving range around the
destination is displayed while setting the
route. If some waypoints are set, the nearest
waypoint from the current vehicle position is
centered on the estimated driving range map.
[Go Here]:
Any locations that are displayed within the
estimated driving range can be set as a
destination or a waypoint.*4Charging station icons:

*5The possible driving distance is displayed
for each estimated driving range.
INFO:
When a route is set that includes waypoints, the
estimated driving range will be displayed based
on the nearest waypoint.
Setting a charging station as destina-
tion
While the estimated driving area is displayed on
the map screen, the spot where the cross pointer
is placed by moving the map can be set for the
destination.
1. Scroll the map, place the cross pointer over the preferred location, and touch [Go Here].
2. When a message asking if you wish to set the location as a destination, touch [Yes]. 3. The system sets the destination to the
selected location and starts calculating a
route.
INFO:
. This procedure only allows you to set a
destination or waypoint on the driving range
screen. The system does not automatically
set a desired charging station as a destina-
tion or waypoint. When a charging station
displayed on the map is set as a destination
by moving the map, zoom in the map and set
a point as a destination as precisely as
possible. If the destination is not set pre-
cisely, the system may provide guidance to a
location that is not a charging station.
. The driving range is displayed as a numeric
value above the destination or waypoint that
has been set. The values displayed here are
approximate and should only be used as a
guide.
. If setting a destination when the Li-ion
battery power level may be insufficient to
reach the set destination, the information for
charging stations is displayed, allowing you
to set a charging station as the destination.
DISPLAYING CHARGING STATION
