IT-4 LEAF Navigation System overview
TELEMATICS SERVICE
This vehicle incorporates a communication
device that is called a TCU (Telematics Com-
munication Unit). The communication connec-
tion between this unit and the NISSAN
CARWINGS Data Center allows for various
services.
NOTE:
. Establishing the CARWINGS
TM
service
is necessary before using this service.
. To check the Li-ion battery charging
status or to use the remote heater and
air conditioner using an internet en-
abled smart phone or personal compu-
ter, the following conditions must be
met:
— The vehicle must be located in a
cellular phone or smart phone cov-
erage area.
— The internet enabled cellular phone
or smart phone must be located in a
cellular phone or smart phone cov-
erage area.
— The computer must be connected to
the internet.
— A cellular phone must be used to
communicate with the vehicle.
— A cellular phone capable of text
messaging must be used to receive
text message regarding vehicle
charge status.
. When the remote heater and air condi-
tioner is set, the system operates the
heater and air conditioner to adjust the
in-cabin temperature to a factory pre-
set temperature.
. When the charge connector is discon-
nected from the vehicle, the heater and
air conditioner operates using vehicle
Li-ion battery electric power.
. If the remote heater and air conditioner
function and Li-ion battery charging are
performed at the same time, Li-ion
battery charging will take longer than
usual due to the power used to heat or
cool the vehicle.
. Certain remote functions require a
compatible smart phone, which is not
included with vehicle.
. CARWINGS TM information system fea-
tures are included through a subscrip-
tion service which requires owner
consent to activate. The subscription
must be active to use these features.
. CARWINGS TM communications may be
received at a verified e-mail address or
by SMS/text messaging-enabled cellu-
lar phone.
. Standard text rates and/or data usage
may apply depending on your carrier.
