Hi duncan.
What year is your LEAF? Mine (delivered July 2012) has the climate controls a mirror image of yours. Did Nissan change this?

seriously? ours was delivered Feb 13, but more usefully the VIN# is 200153. US controls from their manual:  Page 4-4 in my manual shows the LHD layout (same as the US page above) and it has the note that button layout is reversed on RHD cars. Is your steering wheel on the wrong side? |

Hi duncan,
My manual is the same as yours. It shows the LHD layout and a note that the buttons are reversed on RHD.
It's just the car that doesn't match this! I have a photo to show this, which also shows the steering wheel on the right side, but I can't seem to attach it to a post yet.
My VIN is 200035 so it's somewhat earlier than yours. Perhaps Nissan was hand-building the first Oz cars with whatever parts were available.
Incidently, when I first drove a LEAF at the Melbourne Motor Show, the indicator stalk was on the left side and the wipers on the right (typical for European cars). This didn't worry me as I have owned BMWs which are also afflicted with this configuration. I was pleasantly surprised when my LEAF came with the indicator stalk on the right which is more usual for Japanese cars. I think the Motor Show cars were very early builds used for the Victorian EV trial.
These are the joys of being an early adopter.

I'm with Leigh!
My vin#200086 has the same layout as the diagram in the manual.
I thought Duncan's photo was 'mirrored' but clearly not at the text is correct.
Wonder what vin# starts with the 'RHD' layout of the controls.

how odd! clearly some parts bin stuff happening there! I wonder what Mr 200001 (Jim) has?
It does clearly show that at least some of the wiring is interchangeable as well.

Mine match the manual and are reversed from yours as well! My AC and fan speed are on the right, which kind of makes sense to me for right hand drive.
Bizarre, let's compare everything at the meet up!

I moved these posts to a new thread.
It seems that mine is the new RHD layout (ie opposite layout to Manual). Build date Jun 2012.
I think the differences came in with the Jun build...
