Here’s the scenario: it’s a sweltering hot July afternoon and you know you’ll be getting in the car in 15 minutes. Use your smartphone or computer to remotely turn on the air conditioning and voila, you’ll be entering a nice cool car. The system also works to remotely turn on the heater on those chilly winter mornings.

A second benefit of this feature is that it saves valuable battery power. By remotely starting the climate systems, you can cool or heat your Nissan LEAF™ while it is still plugged in, meaning you don’t need to use the extra battery power when travelling.
