DECELERATION AND BRAKING
The Li-ion battery is charged by the electric
motor that changes the energy of the ro-
tating wheels into electric power. For addi-
tional information, refer to “Regenerative
brake” in this section.
STOPPING
The gasoline engine may stop running to
save fuel depending on the available Li-ion
battery charge.The NISSAN PURE DRIVE® Hybrid System
displays the energy flow between the en-
gine, Li-ion battery, and tires on the ad-
vanced drive assist display in the meter.
The status is shown on the assist charge
gauge in the meter and the energy
flow/remaining Li-ion battery charge in the
vehicle information display. System status
can also be shown on the navigation sys-
tem display (if so equipped) and the meter
when the screen is in the Energy Flow
mode or energy/fuel history mode.
ASSIST CHARGE GAUGE
This meter displays the actual electric mo-
tor power consumption and the charging
power to the Li-ion battery.
For additional information, refer to “Assist
charge gauge” in the “Instruments and
controls” section of this manual.

ENERGY FLOW (models with
Navigation System)
When you use this system, make sure the
hybrid system is in the READY to drive
mode. For additional information, refer to
“Operation of the hybrid system” in this
section.
If you use the system with the hybrid
system off for a long time, it will dis-
charge the 12-volt battery power, and
the hybrid system will not start.
The energy monitor for various operating
modes can be displayed on the navigation
system monitor and the meter.1. Press the MENU button on the control panel.
2. Select the “Info” key by touching the touch-screen.
3. Select the “Vehicle” key by touching the touch-screen or highlight the “Vehicle”
key on the display by using the
TUNE/SCROLL knob and press the OK
button. 4. Select the “Energy Flow” key by touch-
ing the touch-screen or highlight the
“Energy Flow” key on the display by us-
ing the TUNE/SCROLL knob and press
the OK button.
This is an example of the Energy Flow
screen. The Energy Flow display changes,
depending on the following operating con-
ditions. The graphic indicates the amount
of power in the Li-ion battery.

HEV OverviewHEV-9
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.
