AT HOME AFTER DRIVING
Charging the Li-ion battery
When you return home, connect the vehicle to
the charging station installed at your home using
the normal charge connector.
Charge the vehicle or set the charging timer
function in the navigation system to have the
vehicle charge at a specific time. See “Charging
timer” in the “CH. Charging” section.
1. When the power switch is turned off, the
ON/OFF settings of the charging timer and
the Climate Ctrl. Timer functions are dis-
played on the dot matrix liquid crystal
display. See “Dot matrix liquid crystal dis-
play” in the “2. Instruments and controls”
section.
2. Open the charge port lid and charge port
cap. See “Charge port lid” in the “3. Pre-
driving checks and adjustments” section.
3. Connect the charge connector to the
vehicle.
4. When a charging timer is turned on, char-
ging starts at the set time. When a charging
timer is not turned on, charging starts
immediately.
NOTE:
. Charging can be started remotely, even
if charging timer is set up.
. When you have forgotten to connect
the charge connector at home, there is
a function that can notify you via text
message capable cellular phone, inter-
net enabled smart phone or personal
computer. See “Charging related re-
mote function” in the “CH. Charging”
section.
. NISSAN recommends that you connect
the normal charge cable 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 and Climate Ctrl. Timer func-
tions the next time you use the vehicle.
