OPERATING TIPS
. The automatic climate control is equipped
with sensors as illustrated. The sensors
*
A
and
*
B help maintain a constant tempera-
ture. Do not put anything on or around these
sensors.
. To push the AUTO switch will make the
climate system reduce the power consump-
tion.
. When the AUTO switch is pushed, both the
AUTO and A/C indicator illuminates.
. If any of the MODE, A/C, fan speed control,
front defroster, outside air circulation, air
circulation is pushed when the AUTO
indicator illuminates, the AUTO indicator will
be turned 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.
. Power consumption of the climate control
varies depending on the outside tempera-
ture and the temperature set for the climate
control. Power consumption increases if the
interior temperature is cooled down too
much in summer or if it is warmed up too
much in winter. This reduces vehicle range.
. When the vehicle is in the ECO position, the
climate control operates in the ECO mode
which reduces the power consumption.
. 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 automatically changes to the ON
position. The climate control system auto-
matically turns off the heater or air condi-
tioner 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.
. If the air conditioner or heater is on while
charging, the climate control system auto-
matically turns off the heater or air con-
ditioning and switches to the air recirculation
mode when charging is complete.
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
