HEV OverviewHEV-9

This vehicle is equipped with two braking sys-
tems.● Hydraulic brake system
● Regenerative brake system
When the vehicle decelerates while the vehicle is
driven with the shift lever in the D (Drive) position,
the Li-ion battery can be charged by the electric
motor. The electric motor converts the energy of
the rotating wheels into electric power under the
following circumstances: ● When the accelerator pedal is released
● When the brake pedal is depressed
● When there is no malfunction in the brake
system or the NISSAN PURE DRIVE Hybrid
System.
The regenerative brake may not work properly if
the vehicle is installed with tires and road wheels
other than the ones specified in this manual.
While the regenerative cooperative brake system
is operating, you might feel a slight vibration or
hear the system working when braking. This is
normal. The regenerative cooperative brake system con-
trols both hydraulic and regenerative brakes. If
you feel unusual deceleration when braking, have
the brake and hybrid systems checked. It is rec-
ommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service.
Drive your vehicle with smooth accelera-
tion and deceleration.
● While driving, energy is recovered through
the regenerative brake as the vehicle decel-
erates. However, for most efficient use, do
not accelerate or decelerate your vehicle
more than necessary.
● Avoid abrupt acceleration and deceleration.
● The power of the Li-ion battery can be
checked on the Energy Flow in the center
display (models with navigation system) or
Li-ion battery status meter in the vehicle
information display. For additional informa-
tion, refer to “Energy Flow (models with navi-
gation system)” in this section or “Vehicle
information display” in the “Instruments and
controls” section of this manual. Gradual or
non-abrupt acceleration and deceleration
will make more effective use of the electric
power.
● When parking, be sure to place the shift
lever in the P (Park) position. While driving,
place the shift lever in the D (Drive) position.
REGENERATIVE BRAKE EFFICIENT USE OF YOUR VEHICLE
HEV-10HEV Overview

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 con-
ditions:● The sound starts when the vehicle starts
accelerating.
● The sound stops when the vehicle speed is
more than 19 mph (30 km/h) while acceler-
ating only when the vehicle is powered by
the electric motor.
● The sound starts when the vehicle speed is
less than 16 mph (25 km/h) while deceler-
ating only when the vehicle is powered by
the electric motor.
● The sound stops when the vehicle stops.
● The sound does not stop with the vehicle 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, refer to “Approaching
Vehicle Sound for Pedestrians (VSP) OFF indi-
cator light” in the “Instruments and controls” sec-
tion of this manual.WARNING
● If the sound from the VSP system is not
heard while driving, stop the vehicle in a
safe and quiet location. Open a window,
and then place the vehicle in the R (Re-
verse) position with the brake pedal
firmly depressed. Check that the oper-
ating sound can be heard from the front
side of the vehicle.
● If the sound cannot be heard, it is rec-
ommended that you immediately con-
tact a NISSAN dealer for inspection.
HIGH-VOLTAGE COMPONENTS
AND THEIR LOCATIONS
WARNING
●The NISSAN PURE DRIVE Hybrid Sys-
tem uses high voltage up to approxi-
mately 235 volts. The system can be hot
during and after starting. Be careful of
both the high voltage and the high tem-
perature. Obey the warning labels at-
tached to the vehicle.
● Never touch, disassemble, remove or
replace the high-voltage parts, har-
nesses and their connectors. High-
voltage harnesses are orange. Touch-
ing, disassembling, removing or
replacing those parts and harnesses
can cause severe burns or electric
shock that may result in serious injury
or death.

HYBRID VEHICLE
CHARACTERISTICS
WARNING
●When you leave your vehicle, be sure to
place the ignition switch in the OFF
position.
● Be sure to put the transmission in the P
(Park) position because the vehicle can
move when the READY to drive indica-
tor light is on even if the gasoline en-
gine is not running. When the READY to
drive indicator light is on, do not leave
your vehicle in a shift position other
than the P (Park) position. The vehicle
will creep and start abruptly if the accel-
erator pedal is depressed by mistake.
This may cause serious injury or death.
CAUTION
If the vehicle is parked for a long period of
time, the battery discharges gradually. To
avoid this occurrence, drive the vehicle for
approximately 30 minutes at least once
every two to three months. Otherwise, the
Li-ion battery may be damaged. If the Li-
ion battery is completely discharged and
the hybrid system cannot be activated, it is
recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer.
High-voltage parts and harnesses on the hybrid
vehicles emit approximately the same amount of
electromagnetic waves as the conventional
gasoline-powered vehicles or home electronic
appliances despite their electromagnetic shield-
ings. Charging the Li-ion battery while driving is impor-
tant. The vehicle cannot run if the Li-ion battery is
discharged. When in the N (Neutral) , D (Drive) ,
or R (Reverse) position, and while the accelerator
pedal or the brake pedal is not depressed, the
Li-ion battery does not recharge. Leaving the
transmission in the N (Neutral) , D (Drive) , or R
(Reverse) position, and while the accelerator
pedal or the brake pedal is not depressed for an
extended period (for example, when the shift
lever is in the D (Drive) position and the vehicle is
stopped only by the parking brake) , may dis-
charge the Li-ion battery and the hybrid system
may automatically be turned off.
