2019 NISSAN LEAF stop start

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.

– If it occurs while charging is beingperformed:The climate control system will stop
once. If the power supply is restored
within approximately 5 minutes, the
climate control system will restart.
However, if more than 5 minutes
have elapsed, the climate control
system will not restart.
– If it occurs af ter charging has fin- ished:The climate control system will stop.
OPERATING TIPS
• The automatic climate control is equipped with sensors as illustrated. The
sensors
AandBhelp maintain a con-
stant temperature. Do not put anything
on or around these sensors.
•
Power consumption of the climate control
system varies depending on the outside
temperature and the temperature set for
the climate control system. Power con-
sumption increases if the interior tempera-
ture is cooled down too much in summer or
if it warmed up too much in winter. This will
result in a reduced driving range.
•Using the AUTO mode will help reduce the
power consumption of the climate control.
• When the AUTO button is pressed, the AUTO indicator illuminates. The
HEAT
button indicator or the A/C button indica-
tor illuminates according to the operation
of the climate control system.
• If any of the MODE, A/C,
HEAT,
fan speed control,front defroster is
pushed when the AUTO indicator illumi-
nates, the AUTO indicator will be turned
off.

* models with Navigation System Info:
The Climate Ctrl. Timer does not activate if
the charge connector is not connected to
the vehicle. When the “Battery Operation
OK” is turned on and the charging connec-
tor is not connected to the vehicle, the Cli-
mate Ctrl. Timer will activate for 15 minutes.
When the outside temperature is high, the
interior temperature may not reach the set
temperature within the 15 minutes.
Turn "Battery Operation OK" to OFF when it
is not necessary to operate air condition-
ing timer in order to prevent Li-ion battery
from discharging.
For models without Navigation System, the
Climate Ctrl. Timer operates repeatedly ev-
ery day once it is turned on.
Operating tips for using Climate
Ctrl. Timer
• The Climate Ctrl. Timer will only start when
the power switch is in the LOCK/OFF or
ACC position.
• To turn off the Climate Ctrl. Timer function, turn off the “Climate Ctrl. Timer1” and
"Climate Ctrl. Timer2" setting in the video
information display using the
button on the steering wheel. The start
and stop time settings will not be deleted
even if the Climate Ctrl. Timer function is
turned off.
• While the Climate Ctrl. Timer is operating, the Climate Ctrl. Timer indicator and the
charging status indicator lights flash. If the
Climate Ctrl. Timer is set to activate, the
Climate Ctrl. Timer indicator illuminates.*
• If the Climate Ctrl. Timer starts operating while the vehicle is being charged, the
time required for charging will be longer.
• Operating the Climate Ctrl. Timer or re- mote climate control in an environment
where the temperature is low may de-
crease the rate of battery charge.
• Timer setting can also be changed while Climate Ctrl. Timer is operated. When the
power position is switched to OFF, the air
conditioner starts or enters waiting mode
depending on the new timer settings.
• When the difference in temperature be- tween the air conditioner setting tem-
perature and the temperature outside the
vehicle is large, the temperature inside the
vehicle may not be maintained at the set-
ting temperature.

• The charging status indicator lights illumi-nate in a specific pattern when the Li-ion
battery warmer operates. The charging
status indicator lights use the same pat-
tern to indicate 12–volt battery charging,
Climate Ctrl. Timer operation or Remote
Climate Control operation. The charging
status indicator lights do not change if the
Li-ion battery warmer operates at the
same time as the above features.
•
The temperature in the passenger com-
partment may not be comfortable if enter-
ing the vehicle too soon before or too long
af ter the scheduled time of departure.
• Air conditioning is limited to the capacity 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.
• The Climate Ctrl. Timer operates the cli- mate control function so that a comfort-
able temperature is provided in the pas-
senger compartment at the scheduled time of departure. The climate control is
set to stop at the scheduled time of
departure.
• Depending on the facilities of charging station, there may be time when it is not
available for charging. Confirm the avail-
ability of the charging facility before set-
ting the Climate Ctrl. Timer. Be sure that
the power switch of the charger is turned
on when setting the Climate Ctrl. Timer.
• When the power switch is turned OFF af- ter changing the setting, the new setting
will be applied.
*models with Navigation SystemRemote climate control
This vehicle incorporates a communica-
tion device that is called a TCU (Telematics
Control Unit). The communication connec-
tion between this unit and Nissan Data
Center allows for various remote function
services.
Even when away from the vehicle, climate
control can be started by accessing the
Web Owner Portal using a cellular phone or
a personal computer. When operation is started, or at the set
start time, the Nissan Data Center ac-
cesses the vehicle. When the vehicle re-
ceives a command for remote operation,
the climate control immediately turns ON
and operates for the specified period of
time. Confirmation of the ON/OFF of the
climate control operation can be checked
by accessing the Web Owner Portal, or by
e-mail.
Completing registration for the
NissanConnect® EV and Services is neces-
sary before using the service. For additional
information, refer to the NissanConnect®
Manual (for Leaf ).WARNING
• Radio waves could adversely affect electric medical equipment. For ad-
ditional information, refer to your
electric medical equipment manu-
facturer for the possible effect on
pacemakers before using the re-
mote climate control.

• Even if the remote climate control isset, the temperature in the passen-
ger room may become high if the
system automatically stops. Do not
leave children or adults who would
normally require the support of oth-
ers alone in your vehicle. Pets should
not be lef t alone either. On hot,
sunny days, temperatures in a
closed vehicle could quickly become
high enough to cause severe or pos-
sibly fatal injuries to people or ani-
mals.
NOTE:
•To check the Li-ion battery charging
status using an internet enabled smart
phone or personal computer.
– The vehicle must be located in a cel- lular phone coverage area.
– The cellular phone must be located in an area with cellular phone cover-
age.
– The computer must be connected to the internet.
• Some cellular phones are not compat-
ible with this system and cannot be
used to check the Li-ion battery charg-
ing status. Confirm this beforehand.
Operating tips
• When the charge connector is connected,
the climate control operates using electric
power. When the charge connector is dis-
connected from the vehicle, the climate
control operates using vehicle battery
electric power.
• The climate control can be operated for a maximum of 2 hours when the charge
connector is connected to the vehicle, or a
maximum of 15 minutes when the charge
connector is disconnected.
• The remote climate control will only start to operate when the power switch is in the
LOCK/OFF or ACC position.
• Remote climate control operation is not available when the vehicle is in an area of
cellular communication range.
• Communication becomes unavailable when the vehicle is not used for two
weeks or more. When the power switch is
placed in the ON position, communication
with the Nissan Data Center can be
restored.
• Air conditioning is limited to the capacity of the electric power when the charge
connector is connected to the vehicle. Therefore, the temperature may not reach
a comfortable level due to performance of
the air conditioning being limited, if the
outside temperature is excessively high or
low, or if the charge connector is con-
nected to a 110 – 120-volt outlet.
• If the power switch is in the ON position or the charge connector is disconnected,
while the remote climate control is being
operated, remote climate control opera-
tion is automatically stopped and an
e-mail is sent.
• If remote climate control operation is started while the vehicle is in normal
charge mode, the climate control oper-
ates in climate control priority mode and
charging is continued.
• If remote climate control operation is started and charging is stopped while the
vehicle is in quick charge mode, climate
control operation is also stopped.
• If the quick charge connector is con- nected and charging is not performed, re-
mote climate control operation starts us-
ing the battery electric power of the
vehicle.

WARNING
• Do not leave children or adults who would normally require the support
of others alone in your vehicle. Pets
should not be lef t alone either. They
could accidentally injure themselves
or others through inadvertent op-
eration of the vehicle. Also, on hot,
sunny days, temperatures in a
closed vehicle could quickly become
high enough to cause severe or pos-
sibly fatal injuries to people or ani-
mals.
• Properly secure all cargo with ropes or straps to help prevent it from slid-
ing or shif ting. Do not place cargo
higher than the seatbacks. In a sud-
den stop or collision, unsecured
cargo could cause personal injury.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM (TPMS)
Each tire, including the spare (if provided),
should be checked monthly when cold and
inflated to the inflation pressure recom-
mended by the vehicle manufacturer on
the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure
label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the vehicle
placard or tire inflation pressure label, you
should determine the proper tire inflation
pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle
has been equipped with a Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) that illuminates
a low tire pressure telltale when one or
more of your tires is significantly under-
inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire
pressure telltale illuminates, you should
stop and check your tires as soon as pos-
sible, and inflate them to the proper pres-
sure. Driving on a significantly under-
inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and
can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also
reduces power efficiency and tire tread life,
and may affect the vehicle’s handling and
stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substi-
tute for proper tire maintenance, and it is
the driver’s responsibility to maintain cor-
rect tire pressure, even if under-inflation
has not reached the level to trigger illumi-
nation of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a
TPMS malfunction indicator to indicatewhen the system is not operating properly.
The TPMS malfunction indicator is com-
bined with the low tire pressure telltale.
When the system detects a malfunction,
the telltale will flash for approximately one
minute and then remain continuously illu-
minated. This sequence will continue upon
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as
the malfunction exists. When the malfunc-
tion indicator is illuminated, the system
may not be able to detect or signal low tire
pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions
may occur for a variety of reasons, includ-
ing the installation of replacement or alter-
nate tires or wheels on the vehicle that
prevent the TPMS from functioning prop-
erly. Always check the TPMS malfunction
telltale af ter replacing one or more tires or
wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the
replacement or alternate tires and wheels
allow the TPMS to continue to function
properly.
Additional information
• When replacing a wheel without the TPMS
such as the spare tire, the TPMS does not
monitor the tire pressure of the spare tire.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN STARTING AND
DRIVING
5-4Starting and driving

• The TPMS will activate only when the ve-hicle is driven at speeds above 16 mph
(25 km/h). Also, this system may not de-
tect a sudden drop in tire pressure (for
example, a flat tire while driving).
• The low tire pressure warning light does not automatically turn off when the tire
pressure is adjusted. Af ter the tire is in-
flated to the recommended pressure, the
vehicle must be driven at speeds above
16 mph (25 km/h) to activate the TPMS
and turn off the low tire pressure warning
light. Use a tire pressure gauge to check
the tire pressure.
• The “Tire Pressure Low - Add Air” warning also appears on the vehicle information
display when the low tire pressure warn-
ing light is illuminated and low tire pres-
sure is detected. The “Tire Pressure Low -
Add Air” warning turns off when the low
tire pressure warning light turns off.
• The “Tire Pressure Low - Add Air” warning appears each time the power switch is
placed in the ON position as long as the
low tire pressure warning light remains
illuminated. • The “Tire Pressure Low - Add Air” warning
does not appear if the low tire pressure
warning light illuminates to indicate a
TPMS malfunction.
• Tire pressure rises and falls depending on the heat caused by operation of the ve-
hicle and the outside temperature. Do not
reduce the tire pressure af ter driving be-
cause the tire pressure rises af ter driving.
Low outside temperature can lower the
temperature of the air inside the tire,
which can cause a lower tire inflation
pressure. This may cause the low tire
pressure warning light to illuminate. If the
warning light illuminates in low ambient
temperature, check the tire pressure for all
four tires.
• The pressure of all tires can also be checked on the display screen. The order
of the tire pressure figures displayed on
the screen does not correspond with the
actual order of the tire position.
For additional information, refer to “Low tire
pressure warning light” in the “Instruments
and controls” section and “Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS)” in the “In case of
emergency” section of this manual.
WARNING
• Radio waves could adversely affect electric medical equipment. Those
who use a pacemaker should con-
tact the electric medical equipment
manufacturer for the possible influ-
ences before use.
•
If the low tire pressure warning light
illuminates while driving, avoid sud-
den steering maneuvers or abrupt
braking, reduce vehicle speed, pull off
the road to a safe location and stop
the vehicle as soon as possible. Driv-
ing with under-inflated tires may per-
manently damage the tires and in-
crease the likelihood of tire failure.
Serious vehicle damage could occur
and may lead to an accident and
could result in serious personal injury.
Check the tire pressure for all four
tires. Adjust the tire pressure to the
recommended COLD tire pressure
shown on the Tire and Loading Infor-
mation label to turn the low tire pres-
sure warning light off. If the tire is flat,
repair it as soon as possible. (For ad-
ditional information, refer to “Flat tire”
in the “In case of emergency ” section
of this manual.)

TPMS with Easy-Fill Tire Alert
When tire pressure is low, the low tire pres-
sure warning light illuminates.
This vehicle provides visual and audible
signals to help you inflate the tires to the
recommended COLD tire pressure.
Vehicle set-up:
1. Park the vehicle in a safe and level place.
2. Apply the parking brake and push the P(Park) position switch on the shif t lever.
3. Place the power switch in the ON posi- tion. Do not place in the READY to drive
mode.
Operation:
1. Add air to the tire.
2. Af ter a few seconds, the hazard indica- tors will start flashing.
3. When the designated pressure is reached, the horn beeps once and the
hazard indicators stop flashing.
4. Perform the above steps for each tire.
• If the tire is over-inflated more than ap- proximately 4 psi (30 kPa), the horn beeps
and the hazard indicators flash three
times. To correct the pressure, push the core of the valve stem on the tire briefly to
release pressure. When the pressure
reaches the designated pressure, the
horn beeps once.
• If the hazard indicator does not flash within approximately 15 seconds af ter
starting to inflate the tire, it indicates that
the Easy-Fill Tire Alert is not operating.
• The TPMS will not activate the Easy-Fill Tire Alert under the following conditions: – If there is interference from an externaldevice or transmitter.
– The air pressure from the inflation de- vice is not sufficient to inflate the tire,
such as those using a power socket.
– If electrical equipment is being used in or near the vehicle.
– There is a malfunction in the TPMS.
– There is a malfunction in the horn or hazard indicators.
– If the Easy-Fill Tire Alert does not oper- ate due to TPMS interference, move the
vehicle about 3 f t (1 m) backward or
forward and try again.
If the Easy-Fill Tire Alert is not working, use a
tire pressure gauge.
AVOIDING COLLISION AND
ROLLOVER
WARNING
Failure to operate this vehicle in a safe
and prudent manner may result in loss
of control or an accident.
Be alert and drive defensively at all times.
Obey all traffic regulations. Avoid excessive
speed, high speed cornering, or sudden
steering maneuvers because these driving
practices could cause you to lose control of
your vehicle. As with any vehicle, a loss of
control could result in a collision with
other vehicles or objects or cause the ve-
hicle to rollover, particularly if the loss of
control causes the vehicle to slide side-
ways. Be attentive at all times, and avoid
driving when tired. Never drive when under
the influence of alcohol or drugs (including
prescription or over-the-counter drugs
which may cause drowsiness). Always
wear your seat belt as outlined in “Seat
belts” in the “Safety — Seats, seat belts and
supplemental restraint system” section of
this manual, and also instruct your passen-
gerstodoso.
