WARNING
In case of a collision:
• If your vehicle is drivable, pull your
vehicle off the road, push the P (Park)
position switch on the shif t lever, ap-
ply the parking brake and turn the EV
system off.
• Check your vehicle to see if there are
exposed high-voltage parts or
cables. For their locations, see “High
voltage components” (P. EV-8). To
avoid personal injury, never touch
high-voltage wiring, connectors, and
other high-voltage parts, such as in-
verter unit and Li-ion battery. An
electric shock may occur if exposed
electric wires are visible when viewed
from inside or outside of your ve-
hicle. Therefore, never touch ex-
posed electric wires.
• If the vehicle receives a strong im-
pact to the floor while driving, stop
the vehicle in a safe location and
check the floor.

ROAD ACCIDENT PRECAUTIONS
EV OverviewEV-9

WARNING
• Pay special attention to pedestrians.
Because there is no engine noise, pe-
destrians may not know the vehicle
is approaching, moving or about to
move, and may step into the path of
vehicle travel.
• When leaving the vehicle, be sure to
turn off the EV system.
• Be sure to push the P (Park) position
switch on the shif t lever and apply
the parking brake when parking be-
cause the vehicle can move when the
READY to drive indicator light is ON.
When the READY to drive indicator
light is ON, do not leave your vehicle
in a shif t position other than the P
(Park) position.
• Keep the brake pedal depressed until
you are ready to drive. When the ve-
hicle is in the D (Drive) position, B or R
(Reverse) position, if you release the
brake pedal and do not depress the
accelerator, the vehicle will creep and
may start abruptly. This may cause
serious injury or death.NOTE:
• The vehicle cannot run with a dis- charged Li-ion battery. Repeated ac-
celeration consumes more power from
the Li-ion battery than driving at a
steady speed.
• This vehicle is equipped with a regen- erative brake system. The primary pur-
pose of the regenerative brake system
is to provide some power to recharge
the Li-ion battery and extend driving
range. A secondary benefit is “engine
braking” that operates based on Li-ion
battery conditions.
• In the D (Drive) position, when the ac- celerator pedal is released, the regen-
erative brake system provides some
deceleration.
• When you put the shif t lever in the B mode and take your foot off the accel-
erator pedal, more regenerative brake
is applied than in the D (Drive) position. • Less deceleration is provided by the re-
generative brake system when the Li-
ion battery is fully charged. The regen-
erative brake is automatically reduced
when the Li-ion battery is fully charged
to prevent the Li-ion battery from be-
coming overcharged. The regenerative
brake is also automatically reduced
when the battery temperature is high/
low (indicated by the red/blue zones
on the Li-ion battery temperature
gauge) to prevent Li-ion battery
damage.
• The brake pedal should be used to slow or stop the vehicle depending on traffic
or road conditions. The vehicle brakes
are not affected by the regenerative
brake system operation.
EV CHARACTERISTICS
EV OverviewEV-11

STARTING YOUR VEHICLE1. Depress the brake pedalO1.
2. Push the power switch
O2.
3. Check that the READY to drive indicator light
O3illuminates. For additional infor-
mation, see “READY to drive indicator
light” (P. 2-24).
4. For models with Navigation System: If route guidance is necessary, enter the
destination in the navigation system.
For additional information, refer to the
NissanConnect® Manual.
LEV2066LEV2093
EV OverviewEV-17

5. Check the Li-ion battery level and theestimated driving range shown on the
meter. For additional information, see
“Driving range” (P. 2-8).
NOTE:
• For additional information, see “Driv-ing range”(P. 2-8).
• Before driving, compare the driving distance to the destination displayed
on the navigation system screen (if so
equipped) with the estimated driving
range shown on the meter. Determine
if it will be necessary to charge the Li-
ion battery before or while driving to
your planned destination.
• If it is necessary to charge the Li-ion battery, use the navigation system (if
so equipped) to search for available
charging stations on your planned
driving route.
DRIVING THE VEHICLE
1. Depress the brake pedalO1.
2. Release the parking brake
O2.
3. Move the shif t lever
O3into the D (Drive)
position. When released, the shif t lever
returns to its original center position.
4. Confirm that the vehicle is in the D (Drive) position. The indicator next to the “D” by
the shif t lever illuminates and “D” is dis-
played on the meter. 5. Release the brake pedal.
6. Depress the accelerator pedal and start
driving.
LEV2067
EV-18EV Overview

These are the following gear positions for
driving the vehicle forward:
• Use the D (Drive) position for optimumdriving performance.
• Use the B mode for downhill driving. When the B mode is used, more regen-
erative brake is applied when the accel-
erator pedal is released in comparison to
the D (Drive) position.
For additional information, see “Driving the
vehicle” (P. 5-14).
NOTE:
The regenerative brake converts the ve-
hicle's forward motion to electric power
to help slow the vehicle.
Use the ECO mode for maximum vehicle
range and for city driving. The ECO mode
helps reduce power consumption by re-
ducing acceleration when compared to
the same accelerator pedal position in the
D (Drive) position (normal mode).

EV OverviewEV-19

Parking the vehicle
1. When stopping the vehicle, apply thefoot brake, then push the P (Park) posi-
tion switch
O1on the shif t lever. Confirm
that the vehicle is in the P (Park) position
by checking the shif t indicator located
near the shif t lever or on the vehicle in-
formation display. 2. Apply the parking brake
O2. For models
with the pedal type, firmly depress the
parking brake. For models with the
switch type, the electronic parking brake
is applied automatically (or for manual
operation, pull the electronic parking
brake switch up).
3. Push the power switch
O3to the OFF
position.
4. If a parking lot is equipped with charging facilities, charge the Li-ion battery as
necessary. For additional information,
see “Charging” (P. CH-2).
