I SET THE CLIMATE CONTROL TIMER FOR MY NISSAN LEAF TO TURN ON VIA THE COMPUTER THROUGH NISSAN'S CARWINGS APPLICATION. THIS IS TO PRE-COOL THE CAR BEFORE DRIVING. WHEN I WENT TO THE CAR, THE CAR WAS NOT COOL BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY THE CAR WAS DISABLED AND UNABLE TO BE STARTED AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER. DEPENDING ON THE SITUATION OF WHEN AND WHERE THIS CAN OCCUR, IT CAN RESULT IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION. MORE INFO CAN ALSO BE FOUND HERE: HTTP://WWW.MYNISSANLEAF.COM/VIEWTOPIC.PHP?F=30&T=3139. *TR
