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.

*models with Navigation System

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
normally require the support of others
alone in your vehicle. Pets should not
be left 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 pos-
sible fatal injuries to people or animals.

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 "Cli-
mate Ctrl. Timer2" setting in the video in-
formation display using the

but-

ton 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
after the scheduled time of departure.

• Air conditioning is limited to the capacity of

the electric power when the charge connec-
tor is connected. Therefore, the temperature
may not reach the set temperature due to
limitations in air conditioning performance,
if ambient temperature is excessively high
or low, or if the charge connector is con-
nected 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 passen-
ger 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.

Remote 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
Nissan Data Center website 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 website 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 separate LEAF
Navigation System Owner's Manual.

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 is

set, 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 left alone either. On hot,
sunny

days,

temperatures

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.

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

“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 ve-
hicle may influence radio reception qual-
ity.

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.

FM RADIO RECEPTION

Range: FM range is normally limited to 25 –
30 mi (40 – 48 km), with monaural (single
channel) FM having slightly more range
than stereo FM. External influences may
sometimes interfere with FM station re-
ception even if the FM station is within
25 mi (40 km). The strength of the FM signal
is directly related to the distance between
the transmitter and receiver. FM signals fol-
low a line-of-sight path, exhibiting many of
the same characteristics as light. For ex-
ample, they will reflect off objects.

AUDIO SYSTEM (MODELS WITHOUT
NAVIGATION SYSTEM)

Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems

4-45

Fade and drift: As your vehicle moves away
from a station transmitter, the signals will
tend to fade and/or drift.

Static and flutter: During signal interfer-
ence from buildings, large hills or due to
antenna position (usually in conjunction
with increased distance from the station
transmitter), static or flutter can be heard.
This can be reduced by adjusting the treble
control to reduce treble response.

Multipath reception: Because of the reflec-
tive characteristics of FM signals, direct and
reflected signals reach the receiver at the
same time. The signals may cancel each
other, resulting in momentary flutter or loss
of sound.

AM RADIO RECEPTION

AM signals, because of their low frequency,
can bend around objects and skip along
the ground. In addition, the signals can be
bounced off the ionosphere and bent back
to earth. Because of these characteristics,
AM signals are also subject to interference
as they travel from transmitter to receiver.

Fading: Occurs while the vehicle is passing
through freeway underpasses or in areas
with many tall buildings. It can also occur
for several seconds during ionospheric tur-
bulence even in areas where no obstacles
exist.

Static: Caused by thunderstorms, electrical
power lines, electric signs and even traffic
lights.

SATELLITE RADIO RECEPTION

When the satellite radio is used for the first
time or the battery has been replaced, the
satellite radio may not work properly. This
is not a malfunction. Wait more than
10 minutes with satellite radio ON and the
vehicle outside of any metal or large build-
ing for satellite radio to receive all of the
necessary data.

No satellite radio reception is available and
“NO SAT” is displayed when the SAT band
option is selected unless optional satellite
receiver and antenna are installed and a
SiriusXM® Satellite Radio service subscrip-
tion is active. Satellite radio is not available
in Alaska, Hawaii and Guam.

Satellite radio performance may be af-
fected if cargo carried on the roof blocks
the satellite radio signal.

If possible, do not put cargo over the satel-
lite antenna.

A build-up of ice on the satellite radio an-
tenna can affect satellite radio perfor-
mance. Remove the ice to restore satellite
radio reception.

Compressed audio files
(MP3/WMA)

Terms

• MP3 — MP3 is short for Moving Pictures

Experts Group Audio Layer 3. MP3 is the
most well-known compressed digital au-
dio file format. This format allows for near
“CD quality” sound, but at a fraction of the
size of normal audio files. MP3 conversion
of an audio track from CD-ROM can re-
duce the file size by approximately a
10:1 ratio with virtually no perceptible loss
in quality. MP3 compression removes the
redundant and irrelevant parts of a sound
signal that the human ear doesn’t hear.

• WMA — Windows Media Audio (WMA)* is a

compressed audio format created by Mi-
crosoft as an alternative to MP3. The WMA
codec offers greater file compression
than the MP3 codec, enabling storage of
more digital audio tracks in the same
amount of space when compared to
MP3s at the same level of quality.

• Bit rate — Bit rate denotes the number of

bits per second used by a digital music file.
The size and quality of a compressed digi-
tal audio file is determined by the bit rate
used when encoding the file.

• Sampling frequency — Sampling fre-

quency is the rate at which the samples of
a signal are converted from analog to digi-
tal (A/D conversion) per second.

• Multisession — Multisession is one of the

methods for writing data to media. Writing
data once to the media is called a single
session, and writing more than once is
called a multisession.

• ID3/WMA Tag — The ID3/WMA tag is the

part of the encoded MP3 or WMA file that
contains information about the digital
music file such as song title, artist, encod-
ing bit rate, track time duration, etc. ID3 tag
information is displayed on the Artist/
song title line on the display.
