Air 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.
Outside air circulation
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.
To set the automatic control mode, press
and hold the
intake air control button.
The indicator light will blink twice and the
inside/outside circulation will then be con- trolled automatically. When in automatic
mode, the indicator light will come on when

CLIMATE CTRL. TIMER
This function pre-heats or pre-cools the
passenger compartment of the vehicle to
the temperature before driving. This helps
reduce power consumption from the Li-ion
battery.
The Climate Ctrl. Timer operates the air
conditioner using power from the charger
or the Li-ion battery. While the charging
connector is connected to the vehicle,
electric power from the Li-ion battery is not
used.
The Climate Ctrl. Timer function allows two
timer settings.
Once the Climate Ctrl. Timer is set, it will
complete air conditioning by the time that
is set. It is not necessary to set the Climate
Ctrl. Timer every day.
WARNING
Even if the Climate Ctrl. Timer is set, the
temperature in the passenger com-
partment may become high or low if
the system automatically stops. Do not
leave children or adults who would nor-
mally require the support of others
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 possibly fatal injuries to
people or animals. Also on cold days,
temperature in a vehicle could become
low enough to cause severe or possible
fatal injuries to people or animals.

4. Push the power switch while depressingthe brake pedal within 10 seconds af ter
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 dis-
charged Intelligent Key system indica-
tor appears on the vehicle information
display even if the Intelligent Key is in-
side the vehicle. This is not a malfunc-
tion. 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® battery replacement” in the
“Maintenance and do-it-yourself ” sec-
tion of this manual.
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. • Make sure that the area around the ve-
hicle is clear.
• Check fluid levels such as coolant, brake fluid, and windshield-washer fluid as fre-
quently as possible.
• Check that all windows and lights are clean.
• Visually inspect tires for their appearance and condition. Also check tires for proper
inflation.
• Check that all doors are closed.
• Position the seat and adjust the head restraints/headrests.
• Adjust the inside and outside mirrors.
• Fasten seat belts and ask all passengers to do likewise.
• Check the operation of the warning lights when the power switch is pushed to the
ON position. For additional information,
refer to “Warning lights, indicator lights
and audible reminders” in the “Instru-
ments and controls” section of this
manual.
