●In the event of an accident that requires
body repair and painting, the vehicle
should be delivered to a NISSAN dealer
to have the Li-ion battery pack and
high-voltage parts such as the inverter,
including 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.

NISSAN INTELLIGENT KEY®
Replace the battery in the Intelligent Key as fol-
lows:1. Remove the mechanical key from the Intelli- gent Key.
2. Insert a small screwdriver
Ainto the slitB
of the corner and twist it to separate the
upper part from the lower part. Use a cloth to
protect the casing.
3. Replace the battery with a new one. Recommended battery: CR2032 or equiva-
lent.
●Do not touch the internal circuit and elec-
tric terminals as doing so could cause a
malfunction.
● Hold the battery by the edges. Holding
the battery across the contact points will
seriously deplete the storage capacity.
● Make sure that the + side faces the bot-
tom of the case. 4. Close the lid securely as illustrated with
C
andD.
5. Operate the buttons to check the operation.
It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for
this service if you need assistance for replacement.
