2019 NISSAN LEAF ECO mode

Servicing climate control
The climate control system in your NISSAN
is charged with a refrigerant designed with
the environment in mind. This refrigerant
will not harm the earth’s ozone layer. Spe-
cial charging equipment and lubricant are
required when servicing your NISSAN cli-
mate control. Using improper refrigerants
or lubricants will cause severe damage to
your climate control system. For additional
information, refer to “Recommended
fluids/lubricants and capacities” in the
“Technical and consumer information” sec-
tion.
It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN
certified LEAF dealer to service your envi-
ronmentally friendly climate control sys-
tem.
RADIO
Push the power switch to the ACC or ON
position and press the
(power) button
to turn on the radio. If you listen to the radio
while the READY to drive indicator light is off,
the power switch should be pushed to the
ACC position.
Radio reception is affected by station sig-
nal strength, distance from radio transmit-
ter, buildings, bridges, mountains and other
external influences. Intermittent changes
in reception quality normally are caused by
these external influences.
Using a cellular phone in or near the
vehicle may influence radio reception
quality.
Radio reception
Your NISSAN radio system is equipped with
state-of-the-art electronic circuits to en-
hance radio reception. These circuits are
designed to extend reception range, and to
enhance the quality of that reception. However, there are some general charac-
teristics of both FM and AM radio signals
that can affect radio reception quality in a
moving vehicle, even when the finest
equipment is used. These characteristics
are completely normal in a given reception
area and do not indicate any malfunction
in your NISSAN radio system.
Reception conditions will constantly
change because of vehicle movement.
Buildings, terrain, signal distance and inter-
ference from other vehicles can work
against ideal reception. Described below
are some of the factors that can affect your
radio reception.
Some cellular phones or other devices may
cause interference or a buzzing noise to
come from the audio system speakers.
Storing the device in a different location
may reduce or eliminate the noise.
