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

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

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

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.

conditioner remotely from another location.
