Operating tips
To get the best performance out of the
NISSAN Voice Recognition system, observe
the following:
• Keep the interior of the vehicle as quiet aspossible. Point all vents away from the
microphone area and close the windows
to eliminate surrounding noises (traffic
noises, vibration sounds, etc.), which may
prevent the system from recognizing
voice commands correctly.
• Wait until the tone sounds before speak- ing a command. Otherwise, the com-
mand will not be received properly.
• Start speaking a command within 5 sec- onds af ter the tone sounds.
• Speak in a natural voice without pausing between words.
Giving voice commands
To operate NISSAN Voice Recognition,
press and release the
button located
on the steering wheel. Af ter the tone
sounds, speak a command. The command given is picked up by the
microphone, and voice feedback is given
when the command is accepted.
• If you need to hear the available com-
mands for the current menu again, say
“Help” and the system will repeat them.
• If a command is not recognized, the sys- tem announces, “Command not recog-
nized. Please try again.” Make sure the
command is said exactly as prompted by
the system and repeat the command in a
clear voice.
• If you want to go back to the previous command, you can say “Go back” or “Cor-
rection” any time the system is waiting for
a response.
• You can cancel a command when the sys- tem is waiting for a response by saying,
“Cancel” or “Quit.” The system announces
“Cancel” or “Quit” and ends the Voice Rec-
ognition session. You can also press and
hold thebutton on the steering
wheel for 5 seconds at any time to end the
Voice Recognition session. Whenever the
Voice Recognition session is canceled, a
double beep is played to indicate you have
exited the system. • If you want to adjust the volume of the
voice feedback, press the volume control
switches (+ or -) on the steering wheel
while being provided with feedback. You
can also use the radio volume control
knob.
Voice Prompt Interrupt
In most cases you can interrupt the voice
feedback to speak the next command by
pressing the
button on the steering
wheel. Af ter interrupting the system, wait
for a beep before speaking your command.
One Shot Call
To use the system faster, you may speak
the second level commands with the main
menu command on the main menu. For
example, press the
button and af ter
the tone say “Call Redial”.

MANUAL CONTROL
While using the Voice Recognition system,
it is possible to select menu options by
using the steering wheel controls instead
of speaking voice commands. This can be
especially helpful if the noise of driving
makes it difficult for Voice Recognition sys-
tem to accurately interpret commands.

The hill start assist system automatically
keeps the brakes applied to help prevent
the vehicle from rolling backwards in the
time it takes the driver to release the brake
pedal and apply the accelerator when the
vehicle is stopped on a hill.
Hill start assist will operate automatically
under the following conditions:
• The shif t lever is placed in the D (Drive), Bmode, or R (Reverse) position.
• The vehicle is stopped completely on a hill by applying the brake.
The maximum holding time is 2 seconds.
Af ter 2 seconds the vehicle will begin to roll
back and hill start assist will stop operating
completely.
Hill start assist will not operate when the
shif t lever is placed in the N (Neutral) or P
(Park) position or on a flat and level road.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the Li-ion bat-
tery: Do not store the vehicle in tem-
peratures below -13°F (-25°C) for over
seven days. If the outside temperature
is -13°F (-25°C) or less, the Li-ion battery
may freeze and it cannot be charged or
provide power to run the vehicle. Move
the vehicle to a warm location.
NOTE:
• Connect the charger to the vehicle and
place the power switch in the OFF posi-
tion when parking the vehicle if tem-
peratures may go below -4°F (-20°C). For
models with 40 kWh battery model, this
provides external power to the Li-ion
battery warmer (if so equipped) when it
operates and does not discharge the Li-
ion battery. Vehicle driving range is re-
duced if the Li-ion battery warmer (if so
equipped) operates (Li-ion battery tem-
perature approximately -4°F (-20°C) or
colder) while driving the vehicle. You
may need to charge the Li-ion battery
sooner than in warmer temperatures. •
The Li-ion battery requires more time to
charge when the Li-ion battery warmer
(if so equipped) operates.
•
The predicted charging time displayed
on the meter and navigation system (if so
equipped) increases when the Li-ion bat-
tery warmer (if so equipped) operates.
• Vehicle range may be substantially re-
duced in extremely cold conditions (for
example under -4°F (-20°C)).
• Using the climate control system to
heat the cabin when outside tempera-
ture is below 32°F (0°C) uses more elec-
tricity and affects vehicle range more
than when using the heater when the
temperature is above 32°F (0°C).
• Climate control performance is reduced
when using the Climate Ctrl. Timer or
Remote Climate Control while the Li-ion
battery warmer (if so equipped) oper-
ates (for models with 40 kWh battery
model). Set only the charging timer [End
Time] when charging in cold weather.
The vehicle automatically determines
when to start charging to fully charge
the Li-ion battery, even if the Li-ion bat-
tery warmer operates. Charging ends
before the set end time if the Li-ion bat-
tery is fully charged.
COLD WEATHER DRIVING
5-154Starting and driving

Do not tow a trailer with your vehicle.Towing your vehicle with all four wheels on
the ground is sometimes called flat towing.
This method is typically used when towing
a vehicle behind a recreational vehicle,
such as a motor home.
CAUTION
• Failure to follow these guidelines can result in severe reduction gear
damage.
• DO NOT tow this vehicle with all four wheels on the ground (flat towing).
• For emergency towing procedures refer to “Towing your vehicle” in the
“In case of emergency ” section of
this manual. DOT (Department Of Transportation) Qual-
ity Grades: All passenger car tires must
conform to federal safety requirements in
addition to these grades.
Quality grades can be found where appli-
cable on the tire sidewall between tread
shoulder and maximum section width. For
example:
Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature A
TREADWEAR
The treadwear grade is a comparative rat-
ing based on the wear rate of the tire when
tested under controlled conditions on a
specified government test course. For ex-
ample, a tire graded 150 would wear one
and one-half (1 1/2) times as well on the
government course as a tire graded 100.
The relative performance of tires depends
upon actual conditions of their use how-
ever, and may depart significantly from the
norm due to variations in driving habits,
service practices and differences in road
characteristics and climate.

transmit data as designed in connection
with the vehicle telematics system. If you
touch [Decline] your vehicle will not transmit
data. However, the telematics features refer-
enced above, and perhaps others, will not be
available to you. The vehicle’s static naviga-
tion system will remain operational, and you
will be able to access your radio and climate
controls.
Telematics features are dependent on cel-
lular data transmission. Some areas may
have limited or no cellular connectivity, re-
sulting in a loss or interruption of data
transmission and, as a result, certain fea-
tures may be temporarily unavailable. Even
if areas with good signal reception, cellular
connectivity can be adversely affected by
things such as tall buildings, apartments,
tunnels, underground parking, mountain-
ous areas, etc. Even if the signal strength
bar of the in-vehicle data communication
module indicates good reception, connec-
tivity may be disrupted. This does not indi-
cate a malfunction. Operate the system
again af ter a few minutes to restoreconnectivity.NissanConnect® EV & Services
