2020 NISSAN LEAF navigation system

BEFORE DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE
(models with Navigation System)
The Li-ion battery charging status and the
Li-ion battery warmer (if so equipped) op-
eration can be checked using an internet
enabled smart phone or personal com-
puter at home. You may also choose to
have SMS messages (text messages) sent
to a cellular phone. Additionally, the vehi-
cle’s heater and air conditioner can be set
to operate using the Climate Ctrl. Timer
function or A/C-heater remote function, if
necessary. For additional information, refer
to “Remote climate control” in the “Monitor,
climate, audio, phone and voice recogni-
tion systems” section of this manual.
NOTE:
• To check the Li-ion battery chargingstatus or to use the remote heater and
air conditioner using an internet en-
abled smart phone or personal com-
puter, the following conditions must be
met:– The vehicle must be located in a cel- lular phone or smart phone cover-
age area. – The internet enabled cellular phone
or smart phone must be located in a
cellular phone or smart phone cov-
erage area.
– The computer must be connected to the internet.
– A cellular phone must be used to communicate with the vehicle.
– A cellular phone capable of text mes- saging must be used to receive text
message regarding vehicle charge
status.
• The remote heater and cooler can ad- just the in-cabin temperature.
• When the charge connector is discon- nected from the vehicle, the heater and
air conditioner operates using vehicle
Li-ion battery electric power.
• If the remote heater and air condi- tioner function and Li-ion battery
charging are performed at the same
time, Li-ion battery charging will take
longer than usual due to the power
used to heat or cool the vehicle.
CHECKING LI-ION BATTERY
CHARGING STATUS
The Li-ion battery charge status can be
checked on the NISSAN Data Center web-
site via an internet enabled smart phone or
personal computer.
If the Li-ion battery is not sufficiently
charged, you can start charging the Li-ion
battery via the remote charge function. For
additional information, refer to “Charging
related remote function” in the “Charging”
section of this manual.

STARTING YOUR VEHICLE
1. Depress the brake pedalO1.
2. Push the power switch
O2.
3. Check that the READY to drive indicator light
O3illuminates. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “READY to drive indicator
light” in the “Instruments and controls”
section of this manual.
4. For models with Navigation System: If route guidance is necessary, enter the
destination in the navigation system.
For additional information, refer to the
NissanConnect® Manual (for Leaf ). 5. Check the Li-ion battery level and the
estimated driving range shown on the
meter. For additional information, refer
to “Driving range” in the “Instruments
and controls” section of this manual.
NOTE:
• For additional information, refer to“Range” in this section.
• Before driving, compare the driving distance to the destination displayed
on the navigation system screen (if so
equipped) with the estimated driving
range shown on the meter. Determine
if it will be necessary to charge the Li-
ion battery before or while driving to
your planned destination.
• If it is necessary to charge the Li-ion battery, use the navigation system (if
so equipped) to search for available
charging stations on your planned
driving route.

NOTE:
• When charging the Li-ion battery, placethe power switch in the OFF position.
When the power switch is in the ON
position, the Li-ion battery will not
start charging.
• For your safety, if the charge connector is connected to the vehicle while the
power switch is in the READY to drive,
the vehicle will automatically switch to
the ON position. Because charging will
not be started while the power switch
is in this position, be sure to place the
power switch in the OFF position.
• When the ambient temperature is 32°F (0°C) or less, charging time may be lon-
ger than normal and the level to which
the Li-ion battery can be charged may
be less than at higher temperatures.
• Do not operate the charging timer re- peatedly while the charge connector is
connected to the vehicle af ter the Li-
ion battery charging is completed. Do-
ing so may discharge the 12-volt bat-
tery. For additional information, refer
to “Charging timer” in this section. If
the Li-ion battery becomes dis-
charged, charge it immediately. • The power switch can be set to the ON
position and the climate control and
navigation system (if so equipped) can
be used while the Li-ion battery is
charging. However, because these op-
erations consume Li-ion battery
power, it will take longer for the Li-ion
battery to become fully charged. Place
the power switch in the OFF position to
help reduce Li-ion battery charge time.
• If electrical power is interrupted while charging, charging restarts automati-
cally when the electrical power is re-
stored.
• It is recommended to keep the charge cable connected to save Li-ion battery
power, when the heater and air condi-
tioner are operating with remote op-
eration (models with Navigation Sys-
tem).
• If the charge port is frozen, melt the ice using a hair dryer. Af ter the ice has
melted, charge the Li-ion battery. Forc-
ing the charge connector to connect
may cause a malfunction. • If foreign materials have entered the
charge connector and charge port and
it is not possible to connect it, do not
attempt to force the connection. It is
recommended that you visit a NISSAN
certified LEAF dealer. Forcing the
charge connector to connect may
cause damage to the charging equip-
ment and vehicle.
• There is a hole on the charge port for water drainage. If the water drainage
hole becomes blocked, or if water gets
trapped inside the charge port, do not
charge. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer.
CH-4Charging

• Normal charge uses the charging device(AC 220 - 240 volt, 16A or 32A) that can be
installed in your home to charge the Li-
ion battery.
• Immediate charge, charging timer and remote charge (models with Navigation
System) can be performed in the normal
charge mode. For additional information,
refer to “Charging methods” in this sec-
tion.
• The charging equipment communicates with the vehicle before Li-ion battery
charging starts. If this communication
does not occur because other equip-
ment is used, the Li-ion battery will not
charge.
• NISSAN recommends that you connect the charging device when getting out of
the vehicle, even if it is not going to be
used. By doing this, you can get the most
out of the remote climate control (mod-
els with Navigation System) and Climate
Ctrl. Timer functions the next time you
use the vehicle.To start normal charge:
1. Push the P (Park) position switch to place the vehicle in the P (Park) position and
apply the parking brake.
2. When charging the Li-ion battery, place the power switch in the OFF position.
When the power switch is in the ON po-
sition, the Li-ion battery will not start
charging.
3. Open the charge port lid and charge port cap. For additional information, re-
fer to “Charge port lid” and “Charge port
cap” in the “Pre-driving checks and ad-
justments” section of this manual.
4. Connect the charge connector to thecharge port. If it is connected normally, a
beep will sound once.
5. If charging has started or if the battery is waiting for the charging timer, a beep
will sound twice and the charging status
indicator light display will change. For
additional information, refer to “Charg-
ing status indicator lights” in this section.
