NISSAN ROGUE HYBRID 2019 Owner's Manual
Page 21 of 508
Drive your vehicle with smooth accelera-
tion and deceleration.∙ While driving, energy is recovered through the regenerative brake as the
vehicle decelerates. However, for most
efficient use, do not accelerate or decel-
erate your vehicle more than neces-
sary.
∙ Avoid abrupt acceleration and decel- eration.
∙ The power of the Li-ion battery can be checked on the Energy Flow in the cen-
ter display (models with Navigation Sys-
tem) or Li-ion battery status meter in
the vehicle information display. For ad-
ditional information, refer to “Energy
Flow (models with Navigation System)”
in this section or “Vehicle information
display” in the “Instruments and con-
trols” section of this manual. Gradual or
non-abrupt acceleration and decelera-
tion will make more effective use of the
electric power.
∙ When parking, be sure to place the shif t lever in the P (Park) position. While driv-
ing, place the shif t lever in the D (Drive)
position. The VSP system is a function that uses
sound to help alert pedestrians of the
presence of the vehicle when it is being
driven at a low speed in the electric drive
mode under the following conditions:
∙ The sound starts when the vehicle starts accelerating.
∙ The sound stops when the vehicle speed is more than 19 mph (30 km/h)
while accelerating only when the ve-
hicle is powered by the electric motor.
∙ The sound starts when the vehicle speed is less than 16 mph (25 km/h)
while decelerating only when the ve-
hicle is powered by the electric motor.
∙ The sound stops when the vehicle stops.
∙ The sound does not stop with the ve- hicle in the R (Reverse) position even if
the vehicle stops.
The VSP system is automatically turned on
when the vehicle is in the READY to drive
mode. If there is a malfunction in the VSP system,
the VSP OFF indicator light in the meter
illuminates. For additional information, re-
fer to “Approaching Vehicle Sound for Pe-
destrians (VSP) OFF indicator light” in the
“Instruments and controls” section of this
manual.
WARNING
∙ If the sound from the VSP system is
not heard while driving, stop the ve-
hicle in a safe and quiet location. Open
a window, and then place the vehicle
in the R (Reverse) position with the
brake pedal firmly depressed. Check
that the operating sound can be
heard from the front side of the
vehicle.
∙ If the sound cannot be heard, it is rec- ommended that you immediately
contact a NISSAN dealer for
inspection.

HIGH-VOLTAGE COMPONENTS
AND THEIR LOCATIONS
WARNING
∙ The NISSAN PURE DRIVE® Hybrid Sys-tem uses high voltage up to approxi-
mately 235 volts. The system can be
hot during and af ter starting. Be care-
ful of both the high voltage and the
high temperature. Obey the warning
labels attached to the vehicle.
∙ Never touch, disassemble, remove or replace the high-voltage parts, har-
nesses and their connectors. High-
voltage harnesses are orange. Touch-
ing, disassembling, removing or
replacing those parts and harnesses
can cause severe burns or electric
shock that may result in serious injury
or death.

The hybrid system uses high voltage up to
approximately 235 volts. High-voltage
components are indicated in the illustra-
tion. High-voltage harnesses are orange.
The system can be hot during and af ter
starting. Be careful of both the high voltage
and the high temperature.
HYBRID VEHICLE
CHARACTERISTICS
WARNING
∙ When you leave your vehicle, be sureto place the ignition switch in the OFF
position.
∙ Be sure to put the transmission in the P (Park) position because the vehicle
can move when the READY to drive
indicator light is on even if the gaso-
line engine is not running. When the
READY to drive indicator light is on, do
not leave your vehicle in a shif t posi-
tion other than the P (Park) position.
The vehicle will creep and start
abruptly if the accelerator pedal is de-
pressed by mistake. This may cause
serious injury or death.
CAUTION
If the vehicle is parked for a long period
of time, the battery discharges gradu-
ally. To avoid this occurrence, drive the
vehicle for approximately 30 minutes at
least once every two to three months.
Otherwise, the Li-ion battery may be
damaged. If the Li-ion battery is com-
pletely discharged and the hybrid sys-
tem cannot be activated, it is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer.
High-voltage parts and harnesses on the
hybrid vehicles emit approximately the
same amount of electromagnetic waves
as the conventional gasoline-powered ve-
hicles or home electronic appliances de-
spite their electromagnetic shieldings.
Charging the Li-ion battery while driving is
important. The vehicle cannot run if the Li-
ion battery is discharged. When in the N
(Neutral) position and while both the accel-
erator pedal and the brake pedal are not
depressed, the Li-ion battery does not re-
charge. Leaving the transmission in the N
(Neutral) position, while both the accelerator
pedal and the brake pedal are not de-
pressed for an extended period of time, may
discharge the Li-ion battery and the hybrid
system may automatically be turned off.

An air vent is located on the right hand side
of the luggage room to cool the Li-ion bat-
tery and DC/DC converter. If the vent is
covered, the battery will overheat resulting
in reduced output performance of the hy-
brid system. For additional information, re-
fer to “Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery air vent”
in the “Appearance and care” section of this
manual.CAUTION
∙ Do not place objects over or into theair vent. The Li-ion battery or DC/DC
converter may overheat and be
damaged.
∙ Do not allow any liquid to get on or in the air vent. It may cause a short cir-
cuit and damage the Li-ion battery
and cooling fan.
CAUTION
Do not load large amounts of water in
open containers (aquariums or buck-
ets) into the vehicle. If the water spills
onto the Li-ion battery, it may cause a
short circuit and damage the Li-ion bat-
tery or DC/DC converter.

malfunction:∙ Electric motor noise from the engine compartment
∙ Noise from the rear of the vehicle when the hybrid system activates or deacti-
vates
∙ Noise and vibration when the gasoline engine starts running or stops
∙ Operating noise or electric motor noise when releasing the accelerator pedal or
depressing the brake pedal
∙ Engine noise due to rapid acceleration
∙ Fan noise from the air inlet located on the rear parcel shelf
