Automatic operation (AUTO)

The AUTO mode may be used year-round as the

system automatically controls constant tempera-

ture, air flow distribution and fan speed.

To turn off the climate control, press the A/C-

Heater ON·OFF button.

The same operating mode (Heater or A/C) that

was active when the system is turned off is active

when system is turned back on.

While operating the climate control in the AUTO

mode, selecting any other climate control button

de-activates the AUTO mode and activates

manual mode.

Cooling and/or dehumidified heating:

The dehumidified heating mode can be used to

keep the windows from fogging. In this mode, the

heat pump compressor is used in A/C mode for

dehumidifying the air instead of heating it. The

PTC heater is also used in conjunction to heat the

air. This mode will increase energy consumption

and therefore reduce range.

vent the temperature from being controlled

properly.

The manual mode can be used to control the

heater and air conditioner to your desired set-

tings.

Air flow control:

Note

The ventilation mode requires a lower

power consumption, so cruising distance

will increase.

• Odors from inside and outside the vehicle

can build up in the air conditioner unit.

Odor can enter the passenger compart-

ment through the vents.

Press the MODE button to change the air flow

mode.

— Air flows from the center and side

ventilators.

Air recirculation:

• When parking, set the heater and air con-

ditioner controls to turn off air recircula-

tion to allow fresh air into the passenger

compartment. This should help reduce

odors inside the vehicle.

— Air flows from the center and side

ventilators and foot outlets.

Press the intake air control

button to

change the air circulation mode. When the indi-

cator light illuminates, the flowing air is recircu-

lated inside the vehicle.

— Air flows mainly from the foot

outlets.

— Air flows from the defroster outlets

and foot outlets.

Outside air circulation:

The air conditioner starts to operate at the time of

day and day of the week specified in the settings.

This pre heats or pre cools the vehicle to a factory

preset temperature in the passenger compart-

ment before driving while the charger is con-

nected to vehicle. This helps reduce power con-

sumption from the Li-ion battery.

Temperature control:

change the air circulation mode. When the indi-

cator light does not illuminate, the flowing air is

drawn from outside the vehicle.

Turn the temperature control dial to set the de-

sired temperature.

and 90°F (32°C).

To set the automatic control mode, press and

Ventilation:

indicator light will blink twice and the inside/

outside circulation will then be controlled auto-

matically. When in automatic mode, the indicator

light will come on when inside air recirculation is

active.

As the temperature is set to the factory default

setting, the user cannot adjust the temperature.

1. Press the AUTO button so that the indicator

light turns off.

The Climate Ctrl. Timer operates the air condi-

tioner using power from the charger. Electric

power from the Li-ion battery is not used.

2. Press the HEAT button and A/C button if the

indicator lights are on so that both indicator

lights turn off.

• When the outside air temperature is low, the air

flow from the foot outlets will be low or may not

operate for up to 150 seconds after turning on

the air conditioner. This is not a malfunction.

Operating tips:

• The automatic climate control is equipped with

sensors as illustrated. The sensors

help maintain a constant temperature. Do not

put anything on or around these sensors.

• Power consumption of the climate control varies

depending on the outside temperature and the

temperature set for the climate control. Power

consumption increases if the interior tempera-

ture is cooled down too much in summer or if it

is warmed up too much in winter. This reduces

vehicle range.

• Push the AUTO switch to reduce the power

consumption of the climate control system.

• When the AUTO switch is pushed, both the

AUTO and A/C indicator illuminate.

• The AUTO indicator will turn off if the MODE

button, A/C button, fan speed control buttons,

front defroster button, outside air circulation

button or air circulation button is pushed.

• If the charger is connected to the vehicle when

it is in the ready to drive mode and the air

conditioner or heater is on, the power switch

4-18 Display screen, heater, air conditioner, audio and phone systems

automatically changes to the ON position. The

climate control system automatically turns off

the heater or air conditioner and switches to the

air recirculation mode. Place the power switch

in the off position to begin charging. Turn on the

desired climate control function.

Servicing climate control

The climate control system in your NISSAN is

charged with a refrigerant designed with the en-

vironment in mind. This refrigerant will not harm

the earth’s ozone layer. Special charging equip-

ment and lubricant are required when servicing

your NISSAN climate control. Using improper

refrigerants or lubricants will cause severe dam-

age to your climate control system. See “Recom-

mended fluids/lubricants and capacities” in the

“Technical and consumer information”section for

climate control system refrigerant and lubricant

recommendations.

• The remote climate control or climate control

timer may fog up windows depending on the set

temperature or outside temperature.

• When turning on the seat heater switch prior to

operating the remote climate control or climate

control timer, the seat heater also will turn on.

The steering wheel heater will turn on automati-

cally when the outside temperature is low.

A NISSAN certified LEAF dealer will be able to

service your environmentally friendly climate con-

trol system.

In-cabin microfilter:

The climate control system is equipped with an

in-cabin microfilter which collects dirt, pollen,

dust, etc. To make sure the air conditioner, heats,

defogs, and ventilates efficiently, replace the filter

regularly. To replace the filter, contact a NISSAN

certified LEAF dealer.

The filter should be replaced if the air flow

decreases significantly or if windows fog

up easily when operating the climate con-

trol system.

To turn off the climate control, press the A/C-

Heater ON·OFF button.

The same operating mode (Heater or A/C) that

While operating the climate control in the AUTO

mode, selecting any other climate control button

de-activates the AUTO mode and activates

manual mode.

Cooling and/or dehumidified heating:

The dehumidified heating mode can be used to

keep the windows from fogging. In this mode, the

heat pump compressor is used in A/C mode for

dehumidifying the air instead of heating it. The

PTC heater is also used in conjunction to heat the

and therefore reduce range.
