RANGE
The distance you can drive the vehicle (range)
varies considerably depending upon available
charge, weather, temperature, usage, battery
age, topography, and driving style.
Refer to the Monroney label (window sticker) for
the official EPA range. Your actual range can vary,
either initially or as the battery ages and with use
over time. For additional information, refer to “Im-
prove driving range” in this section for information
on the factors that affect vehicle range and how
to use the vehicle to maximize vehicle range.
IMPROVE DRIVING RANGE
Vehicle range depends on a number of factors.
Actual vehicle range will vary depending upon:
• Speed,
• Vehicle load,
• Electrical load from vehicle accessories,
• Traffic and road conditions.NISSAN recommends the following driving
habits to help maximize vehicle range:
Before driving:
• Follow recommended periodic maintenance.
• Keep tires inflated to correct pressure.
• Keep wheels in correct alignment.
• Pre-heat or pre-cool the interior cabin while the
vehicle is charging.
• Remove unnecessary cargo from the vehicle.
While driving:
• Drive in ECO mode – The ECO mode helps reduce power con-sumption by reducing acceleration when
compared to the same accelerator pedal
position in the D (Drive) position.
• Drive at a constant speed. Maintain cruising speeds with constant accelerator positions or
by using cruise control when appropriate.
• Accelerate slowly and smoothly. Gently press and release the accelerator pedal for accelera-
tion and deceleration.
• Drive at moderate speeds on the highway. • Avoid frequent stopping and braking. Maintain a
safe distance behind other vehicles.
• Turn off the air conditioner/heater when it is not necessary.
• Select a moderate temperature setting for heat- ing or cooling to help reduce power
consumption.
• Use the air conditioner/heater and close win- dows to reduce drag when cruising at highway
speed.
• Vehicle range may be substantially reduced in extremely cold conditions (for example, -4°F
(-20°C)) .
• Using the climate control system to heat the cabin when the outside temperature is below
32°F (0°C) uses more electricity and affects
vehicle range more than when using the heater
when the temperature is above 32°F (0°C) .
EFFICIENT USE OF YOUR VEHICLE
EV OverviewEV-23

WARNING
• Never let children ride unrestrained or extend their hands or face out of the
window. Do not attempt to hold them
in your lap or arms. Some examples of
dangerous riding positions are shown
in the illustrations.
• Children may be severely injured or killed when the front air bags, side air
bags or curtain air bags inflate if they
are not properly restrained. Pre-teens
and children should be properly re-
strained in the rear seat, if possible.
• Even with the NISSAN Advanced Air Bag System, never install a rear-facing
child restraint on the front seat. An
inflating front air bag could seriously
injure or kill your child. For additional
information, refer to “Child restraints”
in this section.
Do not lean against doors or windows.
1-42Safety–Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

WARNING
Front seat-mounted side-impact supple-
mental air bags and roof-mounted cur-
tain side-impact and rollover (if so
equipped) supplemental air bags:
• The side air bags and curtain air bags ordinarily will not inflate in the event of
a frontal impact, rear impact, or lower
severity side collision. Always wear
your seat belts to help reduce the risk
or severity of injury in various kinds of
accidents. • The seat belts, the side air bags and
curtain air bags are most effective
when you are sitting well back and
upright in the seat. The side air bag
and curtain air bag inflate with great
force. Do not allow anyone to place
their hand, leg or face near the side air
bag on the side of the seatback of the
front seat or near the side roof rails. Do
not allow anyone sitting in the front
seats or rear outboard seats to extend
their hand out of the window or lean
against the door. Some examples of
dangerous riding positions are shown
in the previous illustrations.
• When sitting in the rear seat, do not hold onto the seatback of the front
seat. If the side air bag inflates, you
may be seriously injured. Be especially
careful with children, who should al-
ways be properly restrained. Some ex-
amples of dangerous riding positions
are shown in the illustrations.
• Do not use seat covers on the front seatbacks. They may interfere with
side air bag inflation.
