of the electric power when the charge
connector is connected. Therefore, the
temperature may not reach the set tem-
perature due to limitations in air condi-
tioning performance, if ambient tempera-
ture is excessively high or low, or if the charge connector is connected to a 120-
volt plug outlet.

SERVICING CLIMATE CONTROL
The climate control system in your NISSAN is
charged with a refrigerant designed with the en-
vironment in mind. This refrigerant will not harm
the earth’s ozone layer. Special charging equip-
ment and lubricant are required when servicing
your NISSAN climate control. Using improper
refrigerants or lubricants will cause severe dam-
age to your climate control system. For additional
information, refer to “Recommended fluids/
lubricants and capacities” in the “Technical and
consumer information” section.
It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN certi-
fied LEAF dealer to service your environmentally
friendly climate control system.

serious injury.
Before operating the power switch, make sure
the vehicle is in the P (Park) position.
