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.
“Displaying estimated driving range”
(page 2-4)
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.
“Setting a charging station as destination”
(page 2-5)
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.
“Displaying charging station icons on 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.
“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.
“Updating charging station information”
(page 2-7)
Energy information display
Estimated driving range, average energy econo-
my and instant energy economy are displayed.
“Viewing energy economy information”
(page 2-8)
Estimated driving range and energy usage of
various systems are displayed. Also, variation of
the estimated driving distances between the
climate control ON and OFF is displayed.

reduced because the temperature in the pas-
senger compartment is adjusted before starting
to drive.
