2018 NISSAN ROGUE HYBRID transmission

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

The hybrid system uses high voltage up to
approximately 235 volts. High-voltage
components are indicated in the illustra-
tion. High-voltage harnesses are orange.
The system can be hot during and af ter
starting. Be careful of both the high voltage
and the high temperature.
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.
