ECO mode NISSAN ROGUE 2021 Owner´s Manual

5-24Starting and driving
1M(1st):
Use this position when climbing steep
hills slowly or driving slowly through deep
snow, or for maximum engine braking on
steep downhill grades.
. Remember not to drive at high speeds
for extended periods of time in lower
than 8th gear. This reduces fuel econ-
omy.
. Pulling the same paddle shifter twice
will shift the ranges in succession.
However, if this motion is rapidly done,
the second shifting may not be com-
pleted properly.
. In the manual shift mode, the trans-
mission may not shift to the se-
lected gear. This helps maintain
driving performance and reduces
the chance of vehicle damage or
loss of control.
. When this situation occurs, the Con-
tinuously Variable Transmission
(CVT) position indicator will blink
and the chime will sound.
. In the manual shift mode, the trans-
mission may shift up automatically
to a higher range than selected if the
engine speed is too high. When the
vehicle speed decreases, the trans-
mission automatically shifts down
and shifts to 1st gear before the
vehicle comes to a stop. .
CVT operation is limited to automatic
drive mode when CVT fluid tempera-
ture is extremely low even if manual
shift mode is selected. This is not a
malfunction. When CVT fluid warms
up, manual shift mode can be se-
lected.
. When the CVT fluid temperature is
high, the shift range may upshift in
lower rpm than usual. This is not a
malfunction.
Accelerator downshift - in D (Drive)
position -
For passing or climbing hills, depress the
accelerator pedal to the floor. This shifts
the transmission down into a lower gear,
depending on the vehicle speed.
High fluid temperature protection
mode
This transmission has a high fluid tem-
perature protection mode. If the fluid
temperature becomes too high, (for ex-
ample, when climbing steep grades in
high temperatures with heavy loads, such
as when towing a trailer), engine power
and, under some conditions, vehicle
speed will be decreased automatically to
reduce the chance of transmission da-
mage. Vehicle speed can be controlled
with the accelerator pedal, but the engine and vehicle speed may be limited.
Fail-safe
When the fail-safe operation occurs, the
Continuously Variable Transmission will
not be shifted into the selected driving
position.
If the vehicle is driven under extreme
conditions, such as excessive wheel
spinning and subsequent hard braking,
the fail-safe system may be activated.
The Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
may come on to indicate the fail-safe
mode is activated. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL)” (P.2-19). This will occur even
if all electrical circuits are functioning
properly. In this case, place the ignition
switch in the OFF position and wait for
10 seconds. Then place the ignition
switch back in the ON position. The
vehicle should return to its normal
operating condition. (The MIL may be
illuminated even when the vehicle has
returned to its normal operating condi-
tion.) If it does not return to its normal
operating condition, have the transmis-
sion checked and repaired, if necessary,
by a NISSAN dealer.

WARNING
When the high fluid temperature
protection mode or fail-safe opera-
tion occurs, vehicle speed may be
gradually reduced. The reduced
speed may be lower than other
traffic, which could increase the
chance of a collision. Be especially
careful when driving. If necessary,
pull to the side of the road at a safe
place and allow the transmission to
return to normal operation, or have it
repaired if necessary.
WARNING
.Never drive the vehicle with the
parking brake applied. The brake
will overheat and fail to operate
and will lead to an accident.
. Never release the parking brake
from outside the vehicle. If the
vehicle moves, it will be impossi-
ble to push the foot brake pedal
and will lead to an accident.
. Never use the shift lever in place
of the parking brake. When park-
ing, be sure the parking brake is
fully applied.
. To help avoid risk of injury or
death through unintended opera-
tion of the vehicle and/or its
systems, do not leave children,
people who require the assis-
tance of others or pets unat-
tended in your vehicle.
Additionally, the temperature in-
side a closed vehicle on a warm
day can quickly become high
enough to cause a significant risk
of injury or death to people and
pets.

Mode Selector. The ECO indicator illumi-
nates.
When the accelerator pedal is depressed
within the range of economy drive, the
ECO indicator illuminates in green. When
the accelerator pedal is depressed above
the range of economy drive, the ECO
indicator turns off.
The ECO indicator will not illuminate in
the following cases:
. When the shift lever is in the R
(Reverse) position.
. When the vehicle speed is below 2
MPH (3.2 km/h) or over 90 MPH (144
km/h). .
When the cruise control (if so
equipped) or the Intelligent Cruise
Control (ICC) system (if so equipped)
is operated.
ECO Mode Customize
The “ECO Mode Customize” is a function
that can change the priority from the
Cruise Control (if so equipped) or the
Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) function
to fuel efficiency improvements. It can be
set when the ECO mode is selected. To
activate or deactivate this function, see
“ECO Mode Setting” (P.2-26).
.Cruise Control
When the setting is ON, the fuel
efficiency while cruising will be im-
proved by lowering the acceleration
target from normal (setting OFF)
mode.
NOTE:
When the vehicle speed is reduced (for
example, when the vehicle is driven on
an uphill road from a flat road), it will
take more time to return to the pre-
viously set speed than normal mode.

Tire Pres ECO advice
The “Tire Pres ECO advice” is a function to
show an ECO advice message in the
vehicle information display when low tire
pressure is detected. To activate or deac-
tivate this function, see “ECO Mode

system are located near the rear bumper.
Always keep the area near the radar
sensors clean.
The radar sensors may be blocked by
temporary ambient conditions such as
splashing water, mist or fog.
The blocked condition may also be
caused by objects such as ice, frost or
dirt obstructing the radar sensors.
Check for and remove objects obstruct-
ing the area around the radar sensors.
Do not attach stickers (including trans-
parent material), install accessories or apply additional paint near the radar
sensors.
Do not strike or damage the area around
the radar sensors.
It is recommended you visit a NISSAN
dealer if the area around the radar
sensors is damaged due to a collision.
The lane camera unit
for I-BSI system is
located above the inside mirror. To keep
the proper operation of I-BSI and prevent
a system malfunction, be sure to observe
the following:
. Always keep the windshield clean.
. Do not attach a sticker (including
transparent material) or install an
accessory near the camera unit.
. Do not place reflective materials, such
as white paper or a mirror, on the
instrument panel. The reflection of
sunlight may adversely affect the
camera unit’s capability of detecting
the lane markers.
. Do not strike or damage the areas
around the camera unit. Do not touch
