Silo analysis

Use charging timer to schedule when the Li-ion battery charges. You can save two timer settings that include the charging start time and end time. You can apply one of the timer settings to each day of the week. The vehicle automatically begins charging at the scheduled times when the charge connector is connected to the vehicle. The timers do not need to be reset each time the Li-ion battery needs charged.

1. Push the Zero Emission button and touch [Charging Timer].

2. Touch [Set Timer 1] or [Set Timer 2]. The following procedure explains Timer 1 setting.

3. Enter the Li-ion battery charge start time.

Touch [% Charge] to change the amount of charging. Touch [END Time] to change the time to stop charging.

NOTE:

. Charging timer is performed accord-ing to the current time settaccord-ing on the bottom right of the display. When setting the charging timer function, be sure to check that the current time displayed is correct.

. In the default setting, [100% Charge (Maximizes Driving Range)] is se-lected. This is called long distance mode. To extend the life span of the Li-ion battery, use long life mode by selecting [80% Charge (Improves Battery Longevity)]. See “Long life mode” later in this section.

4. Touch [Assign Days] to set the charging timer for different days of the week. Either Timer 1 or Timer 2 or OFF can be set for each day of the week. Touch [OK] when the settings are complete.

5. Touch [OK] when the settings are complete and a settings confirmation screen is dis-played.

NOTE:

If OFF is selected for a day of the week, the charging timer will not operate on that day. The system will wait until the next charging timer set to perform charging.

6. Touch [Yes] if the settings shown on the screen are correct.

7. The [Timer 1] indicator illuminates after the charging timer is set. Use the same proce-dure to set the Timer 2 setting.

8. Place the power switch in the OFF position, and then connect the charge connector to the vehicle.

NOTE:

. Always place the power switch in the OFF position after setting the charging timers. When the power switch is in the ON position, the Li-ion battery will not start charging.

. The Li-ion battery may not be charged to the expected level (80% or 100%) if the charging timer start time and end time are set so there is not enough time to charge the Li-ion battery.

. When either the charge start time or charge end time is set, the charging

timer function is activated.

. When only the charging timer end time is set, the system automatically deter-mines when to begin charging based on the Li-ion battery charge level. The Li-ion battery may not be charged to the expected level (80% or 100%) in the following conditions:

— The Li-ion battery is charged in cold weather.

— The charge connector is connected to the vehicle too close to the scheduled charging end time.

. When only the charging timer end time is set, the system automatically stops charging when the Li-ion battery charges to the selected level (80% or 100%). Charging may stop before the scheduled end time.

. Touch [Timer 1] or [Timer 2] to turn off the charging timer function. Touch [Yes]

if the settings shown on the screen are correct. After this operation has been performed, the indicator disappears and the charging timer function is turned off. The start and stop time settings are not deleted, even if the charging timer function is turned off.

. If charging timer and the Climate Ctrl.

Timer are operating at the same time due to an overlap of the timer settings, you can prioritize which function re-ceives electrical power first. See LEAF Navigation System Owner’s Manual.

. When charging is set as the first priority, the Climate Ctrl. Timer does not start until 10 segments of the Li-ion battery available charge gauge are illuminated.

. When the climate control is set as the first priority, the climate control system will be turned on as scheduled by the Climate Ctrl. Timer regardless of the remaining battery energy.

. Even when the climate control is set as the first priority, the climate control system will be turned off when the electric demands of the climate control system is more than can be provided to the Li-ion battery for charging.

. The Li-ion battery will not charge when the charge connector is connected to the vehicle until the next scheduled charge start time when the charge timer is active. If necessary, use im-mediate charge or remote charge to

charge the Li-ion battery.

. Some charging stations used to per-form normal charge are equipped with timer functions. If the charger timer function and the vehicle timer are both set, and the two timers are not set to operate at the same time, it is possible that the charger will not start or the battery will not be charged to the level expected.

. If the Li-ion battery heater is operating while the Climate Ctrl. Timer or Remote Climate Control is being used, perfor-mance of the Climate Control will be reduced.

. The Li-ion battery may not charge to the expected level using the Charging Timer When a Start time and End time are set while the Li-ion battery heater operates.

. Set only the Charging Timer End time when charging in cold weather. The vehicle automatically determines when to start charging to fully charge the Li-ion battery, even if the Li-Li-ion battery heater operates. Charging ends before the set End time if the Li-ion battery is fully charged.

. The 12-volt battery can become dis-charged if the charging timer is oper-ated repeoper-atedly between the Li-ion battery charges while the vehicle is not used for an extended period of time.
