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.
. To check the Li-ion battery charging
status or to use the remote heater and
air conditioner using an internet en-
abled smart phone or personal compu-
ter, the following conditions must be
met:
— The vehicle must be located in a
cellular phone or smart phone cover-
age area.
— The internet enabled cellular phone
or smart phone must be located in a
cellular phone or smart phone cover-
age area.
— The computer must be connected to
the internet. —
A cellular phone capable of text
messaging must be used to receive

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
compatible smart phone, which is not
included with vehicle.
. NissanConnect
SMEV information sys-
tem features are included through a
subscription service which requires
owner consent to activate. The sub-

Operating tips for timer charge
. Charging timer is performed according to the
current time setting on the bottom left of the
display. When setting the charging timer
function, be sure to check that the current
time displayed is correct.
. The Li-ion battery may not be fully charged if
the charging timer start time and end time are
set such that there is not enough time to
charge the Li-ion battery.
. When either the charge start time or charge
end time is set, the charging timer function is
activated.
. When only the charging timer end time is set,
the system automatically determines when to
begin charging based on the Li-ion battery
charge level. The Li-ion battery may not be
fully charged if the charging timer end time is
set such that there is not enough time to
charge the Li-ion battery.
. When only the charging timer end time is set,
the system automatically starts charging so
that the Li-ion battery will be fully charged by
the set end time. Charging may stop before
the scheduled end time but this is not a
malfunction. .
To turn off the charging timer function, touch
[ON] on the timer charge setting screen until
the indicator lights are turned off. Touch
[Save] to apply the setting. If the settings
shown on the screen are correct, touch [OK].
After this operation has been performed, the
charging timer function is turned off. The
start and stop time settings are not deleted,
even if the charging timer function is turned
off.
. If the day of the week is not selected on the
timer charge setting screen, the charging
timer will not operate on that day. The system
will wait until the next set charging time to
perform charging.
. The timer setting can be changed while timer
charge is in operation. When the setting is
changed while timer charge is in operation,
the new settings are applied immediately and
charge operation stops once. After this, if the
power position is switched to OFF, charge
operation starts or enters waiting mode
depending on the new timer settings.
. When charging is set as the first priority, the
Climate Ctrl. Timer does not start until 10
segments (80%) of the Li-ion battery avail-
able charge gauge are illuminated.
2-11
2. Unique EV functions

.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.
