• Excessive noise (for example, audiosystem volume or open vehicle win-
dow) will interfere with the chime
sound, and it may not be heard.
• The MOD system performance will be limited according to environmen-
tal conditions and surrounding ob-
jects such as:
– When there is low contrast be-tween background and the mov-
ing objects.
– When there is a blinking source of light.
– When strong light such as another vehicle’s headlight or sunlight is
present.
– When camera orientation is not in its usual position, such as when a
mirror is folded.
– When there is dirt, water drops or snow on the camera lens.
– When the position of the moving objects in the display is not
changed.
• The MOD system might detect flow- ing water droplets on the camera
lens, white smoke from the muffler,
moving shadows, etc. • The MOD system may not function
properly depending on the speed,
direction, distance or shape of the
moving objects.
• If your vehicle sustains damage to the parts where the camera is in-
stalled, leaving it misaligned or bent,
the sensing zone may be altered and
the MOD system may not detect ob-
jects properly.
• When the temperature is extremely high or low, the screen may not dis-
play objects clearly. This is not a
malfunction.
NOTE:
The blue MOD icon will change to orange
if one of the following has occurred:
•When the system is malfunctioning.
• When the component temperature
reaches a high level (icon will blink).
If the icon light continues to illuminate
orange, have the MOD system checked.
It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN certified LEAF dealer for this
service.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
• Do not use alcohol, benzine or thin- ner to clean the camera. This will
cause discoloration.
• Do not damage the cameras as the
monitor screen may be adversely af-
fected.
If dirt, rain or snow accumulates on any of
the cameras
1, the Intelligent Around
View Monitor may not display objects
clearly. Clean the camera by wiping with a
cloth dampened with a diluted mild clean-
ing agent and then wiping with a dry cloth.

WARNING
• The air conditioning cooling func- tion operates only when the power
switch is in the ON position or when
the READY to drive indicator light is
ON.
• Do not leave children or adults who would normally require the assis-
tance of others alone in your vehicle.
Pets should also not be lef t alone.
They could accidentally injure them-
selves or others through inadver-
tent operation of the vehicle. Also,
on hot, sunny days, temperatures in
a closed vehicle could quickly be-
come high enough to causes severe
or possibly fatal injuries to people or
animals. • Do not use the recirculation mode
for long periods as it may cause the
interior air to become stale and the
windows to fog up.
NOTE:
•Odors from inside and outside the ve-
hicle can build up in the air conditioner
unit. Odor can enter the passenger
compartment through the vents.
• When parking, set the heater or air con-
ditioner controls to turn off air recircu-
lation to allow fresh air into the passen-
ger compartment. This should help
reduce odors inside the vehicle. The climate control system (air conditioner
and heater functions) can be operated
when the READY to drive indicator light is
illuminated. However, while charging, the
climate control system can be used when
the power switch is in the ON position.
The fan, heater and air conditioning can be
turned on manually, using the timer func-
tion and using the remote climate control
function.
These functions operate in the following
conditions.

NOTE:
•A series of operation sounds may be
heard immediately af ter climate con-
trol ON/OFF operation. This is not a mal-
function.
• Compressor and motor fan may sud-
denly start to operate during charging
operation. This is not a malfunction.
• Condensation forms inside the air con-
ditioning unit when the air conditioner
is running, and is safely discharged un-
derneath your vehicle. Traces of water
on the ground are therefore normal.
Water may drop underneath the vehicle
when climate control is operating.
DISPLAYING CLIMATE CONTROL
SYSTEM STATUS SCREEN (MODELS
WITH NAVIGATION SYSTEM)
For models with 40 kWh battery:
Touch the “Info” key on the display screen,
then touch the “Climate Control and Audio”
key to display the climate control system
status on the display screen. For additional
information, please refer to the separate
“NissanConnect® Manual (for Leaf )”. For models with 62 kWh battery:
The climate control system status screen
can be displayed as a widget. For details of
the widget, refer to the NissanConnect®
Manual (for Leaf ).
NOTE:
•
If the READY to drive indicator light is
illuminated and the EVSE (Electric Ve-
hicle Supply Equipment) is connected
to the vehicle, the power switch will
change to the ON position. At the same
time, the climate control system will
stop operating. However, the fan will
continue to operate. If you want to turn
on climate control again, place the
power switch in the OFF position and
then place it in the ON position again
af ter confirming that the vehicle has
started charging.
• When the power switch is in the ON po-
sition, if the power supply from the EVSE
(Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) is
interrupted due to an electrical outage,
etc., the system will operate in the fol-
lowing ways.

Ventilation:
Press the
HEAT button and A/C but-
ton if the indicator lights are on so that
both indicator lights turn off.
NOTE:
• The ventilation mode requires a lower
power consumption, so cruising dis-
tance will increase.
• In ventilation mode, temperature is not
indicated on the air conditioner display.
Dehumidified defrosting/defogging:
Press the
front defroster button (the
indicator light will illuminate).
• To remove moisture or fog on the front window quickly, set the temperature to
the high temperature and the fan speed
to their maximum level.
• Af ter the windshield is cleared, press the
front defroster button again (the in-
dicator light will turn off ).
• When the
front defroster button is
pressed, the air conditioner will automati-
cally turn on to defog the windshield.
The outside air recirculation mode will
be selected to improve the defogging
performance. Fan speed control:
Turn the
fan speed control dial to
manually control the fan speed.
Press the AUTO button to change the fan
speed to the automatic mode.
Air flow control:
Press the MODE button to change the air
flow mode.
— Air flows from the center and side
ventilators.
—Air flows from the center and side
ventilators and foot outlets.
—Air flows mainly from the foot
outlets.
—Air flows from the defroster out-
lets and foot outlets.
—
Air flows from the defroster vents.
Temperature control:
Turn the temperature control dial to set the
desired temperature. Recirculation:
Press the
intake air control button to
change the air circulation mode. When the
indicator light illuminates, the flowing air is
recirculated inside the vehicle.
When the outside temperature exceeds
70°F (21°C) the air conditioning system may
default to air recirculation mode automati-
cally to reduce overall power consumption.
To exit air recirculation mode, deselect the
air recirculation button (indicator will turn
off ) to enter fresh mode.
Fresh air:
Press the
intake air control button to
change the air circulation mode. When the
indicator light does not illuminate, the flow-
ing air is drawn from outside the vehicle.
Automatic air intake control:
In the AUTO mode, the intake air will be
controlled automatically. When the outside
temperature exceeds 70°F (21°C), the air
conditioning system may default to air re-
circulation mode automatically to reduce
overall power consumption.
