TURNING THE CONVENTIONAL
(FIXED SPEED) CRUISE CONTROL
MODE ON
NOTE:
ProPILOT Assist provides no approach
warnings, automatic braking, or steer-
ing assist in the conventional (fixed
speed) cruise control mode.
To choose the conventional (fixed speed)
cruise control mode, push and hold the
ProPILOT Assist switch for longer than ap-
proximately 1.5 seconds. For additional in-
formation, refer to “Conventional (fixed
speed) cruise control mode” in this section.

OPERATING PROPILOT ASSIST
1. Push the ProPILOT Assist switchA. This
turns on the ProPILOT Assist system and
displays the status of the ProPILOT
Assist system on the vehicle information
display

2. Accelerate or decelerate your vehicle to the desired speed.
3. Push the SET- switch
C. The ProPILOT
Assist system begins to automatically
maintain the set speed. The ProPILOT

(blue). When a vehicle ahead is traveling
at a speed of 20 mph (32 km/h) or below
and the SET- switch is pushed, the set
speed of your vehicle is 20 mph (32 km/h).
NOTE:
Turning the ProPILOT Assist system on
will turn on the Intelligent Lane Interven-
tion (I-LI) system at the same time. For
additional information, refer to “Intelli-
gent Lane Intervention (I-LI)” in this
section. When the SET- switch is pushed under the
following conditions, the ProPILOT Assist
system cannot be set and the set vehicle
speed indicator
1blinks for approximately
2 seconds:
• When traveling below 20 mph (32 km/h) and the vehicle ahead is not detected
• When the shif t lever is not in the D (Drive) position or B mode
• When the parking brake is applied
• When the brakes are operated by the driver
5-86Starting and driving

When you put the shif t lever in the B mode
and take your foot off the accelerator
pedal, more regenerative brake is applied
than in the D (Drive) position. However, dur-
ing high-speed driving you may feel that
regenerative brake provides less decelera-
tion than the engine braking in an ordinary
vehicle. This is normal.
Less deceleration is provided by the regen-
erative brake system when the Li-ion bat-
tery is fully charged. Regenerative brake is
automatically reduced when the Li-ion
battery is fully charged to prevent the Li-ion
battery from becoming overcharged. Re-
generative brake is also automatically re-
duced when the battery temperature is
high/low (indicated by the red/blue zones
on the battery temperature gauge) to pre-
vent Li-ion battery damage.
The brake pedal should be used to slow or
stop the vehicle depending on traffic or
road conditions. The vehicle brakes are not
affected by regenerative brake system op-
eration.NOTE:
•When applying the regenerative brakes,
you may hear a sound coming from the
regenerative brake system. This is a
normal operating characteristic of an
EV.
• If the power switch position is in a posi-
tion other than ON or READY to drive,
you can stop the vehicle by depressing
the brake pedal. However, greater foot
pressure on the brake pedal will be re-
quired to stop the vehicle, and the stop-
ping distance will be longer.
• When depressing the brake pedal, the
brake pedal feel will not be smooth or
may change when the cooperative re-
generative brake system activates.
However, the electronically controlled
brake system is operating normally and
this does not indicate a malfunction.
Using the brakes
Avoid resting your foot on the brake pedal
while driving. This will cause overheating of
the brakes, wearing out of the brake pads
and shoes faster, and will reduce driving
range. To help reduce brake wear, and to prevent
the brakes from overheating, reduce speed
and select B mode before going down a
slope or long grade. Overheated brakes
may reduce braking performance and
could result in loss of vehicle control.
WARNING
• While driving on a slippery surface, be careful when braking or acceler-
ating. Abrupt braking or accelerat-
ing could cause the wheels to skid,
which could result in an accident.
• If the brake pedal is depressed with the EV system OFF, you may feel an
increased brake pedal effort and a
decreased pedal stroke. If the BRAKE
warning light does not illuminate
and the brake pedal feels like it has
returned to its normal state af ter the
EV system is started, this indicates
that there is no malfunction and the
vehicle can be operated normally.
Starting and driving5-147

The cooling system is filled at the factory
with a pre-diluted mixture of 50% Genuine
NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue)
and 50% water to provide year-round anti-
freeze and coolant protection. The anti-
freeze solution contains rust and corrosion
inhibitors. Additional cooling system addi-
tives are not necessary.
WARNING
• Never remove the coolant tank cap when the motor compartment is
hot. Wait until the motor compart-
ment cool down.
• The coolant tank is equipped with a special type coolant tank cap. To
prevent damage to the motor com-
partment, use only a Genuine
NISSAN coolant tank cap.
CAUTION
•
Never use any additives in the coolant
such as radiator sealer in the cooling
system. This may cause damage to
electrical equipment such as the mo-
tor and inverter.
•When adding or replacing coolant, be
sure to use only a Genuine NISSAN
Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue)
or equivalent. Genuine NISSAN Long
Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) is pre-
diluted to provide antifreeze protec-
tion to −34°F (−37°C) . If additional
freeze protection is needed due to the
weather conditions where you oper-
ate your vehicle, add Genuine NISSAN
Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue)
concentrate following the directions
on the container. If and equivalent
coolant other than Genuine NISSAN
Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) is
used, follow the coolant manufac-
ture's instructions to maintain mini-
mum antifreeze protection to −34°F
(−37°C). The use of other types of cool-
ant solutions other than Genuine
NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant
(blue) or equivalent may damage the
cooling system.•The life expectancy of the factory-fill
coolant is 125,000 miles (200,000 km)
or 15 years. Mixing any other type of
coolant other than Genuine NISSAN
Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue),
including Genuine NISSAN Long Life
Antifreeze/Coolant (green), or the use
of non-distilled water will reduce the
life expectancy of the factory-filled
coolant. For additional information,
refer to the NISSAN Service and Main-
tenance Guide.
