I have spent the last week trying to figure out the pre-heat options for my 2013 S. Please note: the S has an entirely different climate control system than 2011, 2012, and 2013 SV/SL Leafs.
My usual, which works, is set charge timer to 7AM, Climate timer to 6:50AM. This will charge car and shut off the pre-heat at 6:50 (the manual is NOT correct on pg 4-12 which says the climate control timer sets the start time, it actually sets the end time).
This is fine if I leave at 7AM, but suppose I leave at 8AM, I think there is a way to manually start the heat at say, 7:45 and have the car warm when I leave. BUT when I try to manually start the heat (car plugged in, charge and climate timers set as above), put the car in ON mode (press the start button twice with my foot off the brake), the heater won't blow hot air, the lights on the climate control indicate the heat is on, but no heat comes out (and yes, I have the temp set to 85 or 90 rather than say 60).
Now, page 4-8 has a table that appears to me to show that the heat should work while car is plugged in and set to ON mode.
Can any S owners help me understand how all this works?
