WARNING
∙ The NISSAN PURE DRIVE® Hybrid Sys-tem uses high voltage up to approxi-
mately 235 volts. The system can be
hot while 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 high-voltage parts, harnesses
and their connectors. High-voltage
harnesses are orange. Touching, dis-
assembling, removing or replacing
those parts and harnesses can cause
severe burns or electric shock that
may result in serious injury or death.
The vehicle high-voltage system has
no user serviceable parts. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer
for any necessary maintenance. ∙ Never try to remove the service plug
located in the cargo area. The service
plug is used only when the vehicle is
serviced by trained technicians wear-
ing personal protection equipment
and is part of the high-voltage sys-
tem. Touching the service plug can
cause severe burns or electric shock
that may result in serious injury or
death.
WARNING
In case of a collision:
∙ If your vehicle is drivable, pull your ve-hicle off the road, put the transmis-
sion in the P (Park) position, apply the
parking brake and turn the NISSAN
PURE DRIVE® Hybrid System off.
∙ Check to see if there are exposed high-voltage parts and cables. Never
touch the parts and cables. For addi-
tional information on their locations,
refer to “High-voltage components
and their locations” in this section. To
avoid personal injury, never touch
high-voltage wiring, connectors, and
other high-voltage parts, such as the
electric motor inverter and Li-ion bat-
tery. An electric shock may occur if
exposed electric wires are visible
when viewed from inside or outside of
your vehicle. Therefore, never touch
exposed electric wires.
∙ If the vehicle receives a strong impact to the floor while driving, stop the ve-
hicle in a safe location and check the
floor.
HIGH-VOLTAGE CAUTIONS ROAD ACCIDENT CAUTIONS
HEV OverviewHEV-3

To start the NISSAN PURE DRIVE® Hybrid
System, depress the brake pedal and place
the ignition switch in the ON position when
the transmission is in the P (Park) position.
CAUTION
Do not start the system in the N (Neu-
tral) position under cold condition of
the system. 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 environ-
ment, 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 au-
tomatically. It may stop during decelera-
tion or when the vehicle is stopped. 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 opening the door.
∙ When the engine hood is opened.
∙ When applying the brakes.
∙ Based on driving conditions.
∙ The shif t lever is moved to the P (Park) position, the driver’s seat belt is re-
leased 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 tem- perature is high/low. ∙ When repeatedly starting and stopping
the engine.
STARTING AND SLOW SPEED
DRIVING
In some cases, the vehicle can be driven by
the 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, depending 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 vehicle is driving.
RAPID ACCELERATION
The vehicle is accelerated using both the
gasoline engine and the electric motor de-
pending on the available Li-ion battery
charge.
OPERATION OF THE HYBRID SYSTEM
HEV OverviewHEV-5

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.

NOTE:
This vehicle’s occupant classification
sensor system generally keeps the clas-
sification locked during driving, so it is
important that you confirm that the
front passenger is properly classified
prior to driving. However, the occupant
classification sensor may recalculate the
weight of the occupant under some con-
ditions (both while driving and when
stopped), so front passenger seat occu-
pants should continue to remain seated
as outlined above.
Troubleshooting
If you think the front passenger air bag
status light is incorrect:1. If the light is ON with an adult occupying the front passenger seat:
∙ Occupant is a small adult — the air bag light is functioning as intended. The
front passenger air bag is suppressed. However, if the occupant is not a small
adult, then this may be due to the following
conditions that may be interfering with the
weight sensors:
∙ Occupant is not sitting upright, leaning against the seatback, and centered on
the seat cushion with his/her feet com-
fortably extended to the floor.
∙ A child restraint or other object pressing against the rear of the seatback.
∙ A rear passenger pushing or pulling on the back of the front passenger seat.
∙ Forcing the front seat or seatback against an object on the seat or floor
behind it.
∙ An object placed under the front pas- senger seat.
∙ An object placed between the seat cushion and center console or between
the seat cushion and the door.
If the vehicle is moving, please come to a
stop when it is safe to do so. Check and
correct any of the above conditions. Re-
start the vehicle and wait 1 minute. NOTE:
A system check will be performed during
which the front passenger air bag status
light will remain lit for about 7 seconds
initially.
If the light is still ON af ter this, the person
should be advised not to ride in the front
passenger seat and the vehicle should be
checked as soon as possible. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for
this service.
2. If the light is OFF with a small adult, child or child restraint occupying the
front passenger seat.
This may be due to the following con-
ditions that may be interfering with the
weight sensors:
∙ Small adult or child is not sitting upright, leaning against the seatback, and cen-
tered on the seat cushion with his/her
feet comfortably extended to the floor.
∙ The child restraint is not properly in- stalled, as outlined in the “Child re-
straints” section of this manual.
∙ An object weighing over 9.1 lbs. (4 kg) hanging on the seat or placed in the
seatback pocket.

∙ A child restraint or other object pressingagainst the rear of the seatback.
∙ A rear passenger pushing or pulling on the back of the front passenger seat.
∙ Forcing the front seat or seatback against an object on the seat or floor
behind it.
∙ An object placed under the front pas- senger seat.
∙ An object placed between the seat cushion and center console.
If the vehicle is moving, please come to a
stop when it is safe to do so. Check and
correct any of the above conditions. Re-
start the vehicle and wait 1 minute.
NOTE:
A system check will be performed during
which the front passenger air bag status
light will remain lit for about 7 seconds
initially.
If the light is still OFF af ter this, the small
adult, child or child restraint should be re-
positioned in the rear seat and the vehicle
should be checked as soon as possible. It is
recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service. 3. If the light is OFF with no front passen-
ger and no objects on the front pas-
senger seat, the vehicle should be
checked. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN dealer as soon as pos-
sible.
Other supplemental front-impact air
bag precautions
WARNING
∙ Do not place any objects on the steer- ing wheel pad or on the instrument
panel. Also, do not place any objects
between any occupant and the steer-
ing wheel or instrument panel. Such
objects may become dangerous pro-
jectiles and cause injury if the front air
bags inflate.
∙ Immediately af ter inflation, several front air bag system components will
be hot. Do not touch them; you may
severely burn yourself.
∙ No unauthorized changes should be made to any components or wiring of
the supplemental air bag system. This
is to prevent accidental inflation of
the supplemental air bag or damage
to the supplemental air bag system. ∙ Do not make unauthorized changes
to your vehicle’s electrical system,
suspension system or front end struc-
ture. This could affect proper opera-
tion of the front air bag system.
∙ Tampering with the front air bag sys- tem may result in serious personal in-
jury. Tampering includes changes to
the steering wheel and the instru-
ment panel assembly by placing ma-
terial over the steering wheel pad and
above the instrument panel or by in-
stalling additional trim material
around the air bag system.
∙ Removing or modif ying the front pas- senger seat may affect the function of
the air bag and result in serious per-
sonal injury.
