We have an old Leaf, which means we need some workarounds for things that used to just work.

Take the Charging Timer functionality - the timer for charging has a system set clock that was set by the 2G signal - which means if the 12V battery is replaced, this needs to be manually reset. This is how you do that.

Step 1

Ensure the audio is completely turned off and shutdown the car.

Step 2

Put the car into ready mode - do not press the brake and switch the car on.

Step 3

  1. Press the map button thrice.
  2. Press the audio twice.
  3. Press the map button once.

Step 4

You will be presented with a menu, you want the second option "Confirmation/Adjustment".

Step 5

Go to the second page, and do "Clock settings".

Step 6

Manually set the time. You need GMT (UTC+0) not British Summer Time! Set the clock to the year, month, day, hour (-1 if BST), and minute seen on the dashboard. Press OK and wait for the "updating" message to disappear.

Step 7

Hit the "Back" button on the top of the screen. The car will power down.

Step 8

Switch on the car again and set the Charging Timer.
