The NISSAN PURE DRIVE Hybrid System com-
bines the power of a gasoline engine and an
electric motor to help minimize fuel consumption
and emissions.
Depending on driving conditions, the vehicle runs
on a combination of the gasoline engine and the
electric motor, whichever is best for those condi-
tions.
Because the gasoline engine charges the
Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery as needed, the battery
does not have to be charged from an outside
source like an all-electric vehicle.WARNING
If you continue to drive the vehicle while
the warning is displayed, the hybrid sys-
tem may become temporarily inoperative
and the system cannot provide power to
the wheels. This can result in reduced or
zero vehicle speed. The reduced speed or
zero speed may be lower than other traf-
fic, which could increase the chance of a
collision. If the vehicle cannot maintain a
safe driving speed, pull to the side of the
road in a safe area. If this occurs, place the
shift lever in the “P” (Park) position, igni-
tion in the READY to drive position with
the vehicle stopped until the display turns
off. The hybrid system overheat warning
and the SHIFT “P” warning messages will
be alternately displayed. For additional
information, refer to “Shift to Park” in the
“Instruments and controls” section of this
manual.
WARNING
Your vehicle contains a sealed Lithium-ion
(Li-ion) high-voltage battery. If the Li-ion
battery is disposed of improperly, there is
a risk of severe burns and electrical shock
that may result in serious injury or death
and there is also a risk of environmental
damage.
CAUTION
●Do not misuse the Li-ion battery.
● Do not use the Li-ion battery for any
other purpose.
The Li-ion battery is used to drive the electric
motors in the NISSAN PURE DRIVE Hybrid Sys-
tem.
The Li-ion battery has a limited service life. It is
recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for
information about recycling or disposal of the
battery.
NISSAN PURE DRIVE HYBRID
SYSTEM LITHIUM-ION (Li-ion) BATTERY
HEV-2HEV Overview

●In the event of an accident that requires
body repair and painting, it is recom-
mended you visit a NISSAN dealer to
have the Li-ion battery pack and high-
voltage parts such as the inverter, in-
cluding the wiring harness, removed
prior to painting. Li-ion battery packs
exposed to heat in the paint booth will
experience capacity loss. Damaged Li-
ion battery packs may also pose safety
risks to untrained mechanics and repair
personnel. The emergency shut-off system is activated and
the high-voltage system automatically turns off in
the following conditions:
● Front and side collisions in which the air
bags are deployed.
● Certain rear collisions.
● Certain NISSAN PURE DRIVE Hybrid Sys-
tem malfunctions
For the above collisions and the certain hybrid
system malfunctions, the READY to drive indica-
tor light will turn off. For additional information,
refer to “Warning lights, indicator lights and au-
dible reminders” in the “Instruments and con-
trols” section of this manual.
The emergency shut-off activates for the above
collisions to minimize risk of an event that could
cause injury or an accident. If the emergency
shut-off system activates, the hybrid system may
not switch to the READY to drive position. It is
recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer.
Even if the ignition switch is switched to the
READY to drive position, the system may shut off
suddenly. Therefore, drive cautiously to the near-
est NISSAN dealer or contact a NISSAN dealer
as soon as possible. To start the NISSAN PURE DRIVE Hybrid Sys-
tem, depress the brake pedal and place the igni-
tion switch in the ON position when the transmis-
sion is in the P (Park) position.
CAUTION
Do not start the system in the N (Neutral)
position under cold condition of the sys-
tem. Start in the P (Park) position in that
case.
The READY to drive indicator light
flashes
until the hybrid system is ready to drive.
If starting in a low temperature environment, the
flashing time of the READY to drive indicator light
becomes longer. It cannot move out from the P
(Park) range during flashing.
When the READY to drive indicator light
illuminates, the vehicle can be driven, even if the
gasoline engine is not running.
NOTE:
The gasoline engine starts and stops auto-
matically. It may stop during deceleration
or when the vehicle is stopped.
EMERGENCY SHUT-OFF SYSTEM OPERATION OF THE HYBRID SYSTEM
HEV-4HEV Overview

The gasoline engine may automatically run in the
following conditions:● The level of remaining charge in the Li-ion
battery is low. The engine runs to charge the
Li-ion battery and to provide power to drive
the vehicle.
● The temperature of the engine coolant is
low.
● When the A/C is used.
● When L (Low) position is engaged and Over
Drive is off.
● When opening the door.
● When engine hood is opened.
● When applying the brakes.
● Based on driving conditions.
● The shift lever is shifted to the P (Park)
position, the driver’s seat belt is released
and the driver’s side door is then opened.
The hybrid system operates as follows based on
driving conditions and the Li-ion battery charge. The engine is hard to stop during these driving
conditions:
● When the A/C is on and outside tempera-
ture is high/low.
● When repeatedly starting and stopping the
engine.
STARTING AND SLOW SPEED
DRIVING
In some cases, the vehicle can be driven by
electric motor during extremely slow speed
creep, but the engine starts when accelerating or
releasing the brakes.
MEDIUM OR HIGH SPEED DRIVING
The system automatically controls the gasoline
engine and electric motor in order to obtain the
optimum fuel mileage and performance, depend-
ing on the driving situation and available Li-ion
battery charge.
When the remaining battery level is low, the Li-ion
battery is charged by the electric motor that is
driven to generate electric power while the ve-
hicle is driving.
RAPID ACCELERATION
The vehicle is accelerated using both the gaso-
line engine and the electric motor depending on
the available Li-ion battery charge.
DECELERATION AND BRAKING
The Li-ion battery is charged by the electric mo-
tor that changes the energy of the rotating
wheels into electric power. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Regenerative brake” in this sec-
tion.
STOPPING
The gasoline engine may stop running to save
fuel depending on the available Li-ion battery
charge.
HEV OverviewHEV-5

This is an example of the Energy Flow display.
The Energy Flow display changes, depending on
the following operating conditions. The graphic
indicates the amount of power in the Li-ion bat-
tery.
The following are displayed on the Energy Flow
display:● When the vehicle is powered only by the
electric motor or gasoline engine.
● When the vehicle is powered by both the
electric motor and the gasoline engine. ●
When the vehicle is charging the Li-ion bat-
tery with the regenerative brake or gasoline
engine.
● When the vehicle is powered by the gaso-
line engine and is charging the Li-ion battery.
● When there is no Energy Flow in the vehicle
The Energy Flow and remaining Li-ion battery
charge can be also shown on the vehicle infor-
mation display. For additional information, refer to
“Vehicle information display” in the “Instruments
and controls” section of this manual.FUEL ECONOMY
Press thebuttons on the steering
wheel to go back or forward through the vehicle
information menu items until “Fuel Economy” ap-
pears on the vehicle information display screen.
This screen displays the rate of fuel consumption
and distance to empty.

Noise and vibration
After the hybrid system is activated, the following
noises and vibrations that are unique to the hy-
brid system may occur. The following situations
do not indicate a malfunction:● Electric motor noise from the engine com-
partment
● Noise from the rear of the vehicle when the
hybrid system activates or deactivates
● Noise and vibration when the gasoline en-
gine starts running or stops
● Operating noise or electric motor noise
when releasing the accelerator pedal or de-
pressing the brake pedal
● Engine noise due to rapid acceleration
● Fan noise from the air inlet located on the
rear parcel shelf
● Noise from the climate control system
