2018 NISSAN ROGUE HYBRID light

∙ Inspect the ground under the vehicle.If liquid has leaked onto the ground,
the fuel system may have been dam-
aged. Leave the vehicle as soon as
possible.
∙ Leaks or damage to the Li-ion battery may result in a fire. If you discover
them, contact emergency services
immediately. Since the fluid leak may
be lithium organic electrolyte from
the Li-ion battery, never touch the
fluid leak inside or outside the vehicle.
If the fluid contacts your skin or eyes,
wash it off immediately with a large
amount of water and receive immedi-
ate medical attention to help avoid
serious injury.
∙ If a fire occurs in the hybrid vehicle, leave the vehicle as soon as possible.
Only use a type ABC, BC or C fire extin-
guisher that is meant for use on elec-
trical fires. Using water or the incor-
rect fire extinguisher can result in
serious injury or death from electrical
shock. ∙ If you are not able to safely assess the
vehicle due to vehicle damage, do not
touch the vehicle. Leave the vehicle
and contact emergency services. Ad-
vise first responders that this is a hy-
brid vehicle.
∙ In the event of an accident that re- quires body repair and painting, the
vehicle should be delivered to a
NISSAN dealer to have the Li-ion bat-
tery 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 capac-
ity loss. Damaged Li-ion battery packs
may also pose safety risks to un-
trained 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 System malfunctions.
For the above collisions and the certain
hybrid system malfunctions, the READY to
drive indicator light will turn off. For addi-
tional information, refer to “Warning lights,
indicator lights and audible reminders” in
the “Instruments and controls” 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 acci-
dent. If the emergency shut-off system ac-
tivates, the hybrid system may not switch
to the READY to drive position. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer.
Even if the ignition switch is placed in the
READY to drive position, the system may
shut off suddenly. Therefore, drive cau-
tiously to the nearest NISSAN dealer or
contact a NISSAN dealer as soon as pos-
sible.
EMERGENCY SHUT-OFF SYSTEM
HEV-4HEV Overview

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.

The displayed values on the screen indi-
cate general driving conditions. Accuracy
varies with driving habits and road condi-
tions.∙ Regenerated energy in the past 12 min- utes: The regenerated energy in the
past 12 minutes is indicated with sym-
bols. One symbol indicates a 30 watt-
hour. The energy of a 30 watt-hour illu-
minates a 30 watt bulb for an hour.
∙ Fuel consumption in the past 12 min- utes: Fuel consumption in the past
12 minutes is displayed.
∙ Current fuel consumption (Last col- umn): The current fuel consumption is
calculated and displayed based on dis-
tance and fuel consumption.
NOTE:
Information shown in the yellow column
means current (within 2 minutes) and in-
formation shown in the blue columns
means past (more than 2 minutes). This vehicle is equipped with two braking
systems:
∙ Hydraulic brake system
∙ Regenerative brake system
When the vehicle decelerates while the ve-
hicle is driven with the shif t 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 fol-
lowing 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 sys-
tem controls both hydraulic and regenera-
tive brakes. If you feel unusual deceleration
when braking, have the brake and hybrid
systems checked. It is recommended that
you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
REGENERATIVE BRAKE
HEV-10HEV Overview

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.

HYBRID VEHICLE
CHARACTERISTICS
WARNING
∙ When you leave your vehicle, be sureto 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
indicator light is on even if the gaso-
line engine is not running. When the
READY to drive indicator light is on, do
not leave your vehicle in a shif t posi-
tion other than the P (Park) position.
The vehicle will creep and start
abruptly if the accelerator pedal is de-
pressed by mistake. This may cause
serious injury or death.
CAUTION
If the vehicle is parked for a long period
of time, the battery discharges gradu-
ally. 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 com-
pletely discharged and the hybrid sys-
tem cannot be activated, it is recom-
mended 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 ve-
hicles or home electronic appliances de-
spite their electromagnetic shieldings.
Charging the Li-ion battery while driving is
important. The vehicle cannot run if the Li-
ion battery is discharged. When in the N
(Neutral) position and while both the accel-
erator pedal and the brake pedal are not
depressed, the Li-ion battery does not re-
charge. Leaving the transmission in the N
(Neutral) position, while both the accelerator
pedal and the brake pedal are not de-
pressed for an extended period of time, may
discharge the Li-ion battery and the hybrid
system may automatically be turned off.
