pressed. The FAA advises that the
radio waves may affect aircraf t
navigation and communication sys-
tems. Do not operate the Intelligent
Key while on an airplane. Make sure
the buttons are not operated unin-
tentionally when the unit is stored
during a flight.

3-14Pre-driving checks and adjustments
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

The climate control system status screen
can be displayed as a widget. For details of
the widget, refer to the NissanConnect®

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.

the chime sounds. The power switch
position changes to the READY to drive
mode.
Af ter step 3 is performed, if the power
switch is pushed without depressing the
brake pedal, the power switch position will
change to ACC.
NOTE:
• When the power switch is pushed to the
ACC or ON position or READY to drive
mode by the above procedure, the EV
system operation for discharged Intelli-
gent Key system indicator appears on
the vehicle information display even if
the Intelligent Key is inside the vehicle.
This is not a malfunction. To stop the
warning indicator from blinking, touch
the power switch with the Intelligent
Key again. •
If the Intelligent Key battery discharge
indicator appears on the vehicle infor-
mation display, replace the battery as
soon as possible. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “NISSAN Intelligent Key®

NISSAN VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER
SYSTEM
The NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System
will not allow the power switch to be placed
in the READY to drive position without the
use of the registered key.
If the power switch fails to place the vehicle
into the READY to drive position using the
registered key, it may be due to interfer-
ence caused by another registered key, an
automated toll road device or automated
payment device on the key ring. Restart the
EV system using the following procedure:
1. Leave the power switch in the ON posi-
tion for approximately 5 seconds.
2. Place the power switch in the OFF posi- tion and wait approximately 10 seconds. 3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 again.
4. Place the power switch in the READY to
drive position while holding the device
(which may have caused the interfer-
ence) separate from the registered key.
If this procedure allows the power
switch to be placed in the READY to drive
mode, NISSAN recommends placing the
registered key on a separate key ring to
avoid interference from other devices.
