Nissan LEAF 2023 Owners Manual
8.7.3. Remote climate control (models with NissanConnect System)
This vehicle incorporates a communication device that is called a TCU (Telematics Communication Unit). The communication connection 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 smartphone.
When operation is started, or at the set start time, the Nissan Data Center accesses the vehicle. When the vehicle receives 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 Mobile Apps service is necessary before using the service. For additional information, refer to the separate NissanConnect Owner’s Manual.
Radio waves could adversely affect electric medical equipment. For additional information, refer to your electric medical equipment manufacturer for the possible effect on pacemakers before using the remote climate control.
Even if the remote climate control is set, the temperature in the passenger room may become high 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.
To check the Li-ion battery charging status using an internet enabled smartphone.
The vehicle must be located in a smartphone coverage area.
The smartphone must be located in an area with smartphone coverage.
Some smartphones are not compatible with this system and cannot be used to check the Li-ion battery charging status. Confirm this beforehand.
Operating tips:
When the charge connector is connected, the climate control operates using electric power. When the charge connector is disconnected 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 OFF position. Be sure to check that the power switch is in the OFF 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.
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 operation 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 operates 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 connected and charging is not performed, remote climate control operation starts using the battery electric power of the vehicle.
