2019 NISSAN ROGUE HYBRID service indicator

The NISSAN PURE DRIVE® Hybrid System
combines the power of a gasoline engine
and an electric motor to help minimize fuel
consumption and emissions.
Depending on driving conditions, the ve-
hicle runs on a combination of the gasoline
engine and the electric motor, whichever is
best for those conditions.
Because the gasoline engine charges the
Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery as needed, the
battery does not have to be charged from
an outside source like an all-electric ve-
hicle.WARNING
If you continue to drive the vehicle while
the warning is displayed, the hybrid
system may become temporarily inop-
erative and the system cannot provide
power to the wheels. This can result in
reduced or zero vehicle speed. The re-
duced speed or zero speed may be
lower than other traffic, which could in-
crease the chance of a collision. If the
vehicle cannot maintain a safe driving
speed, pull to the side of the road in a
safe area. If this occurs, place the shif t
lever in the P (Park) position and the
ignition in the READY to drive position
with the vehicle stopped until the dis-
play turns off. The “Hybrid System Over-
heated Stop Vehicle” warning and the
“Shif t to Park” warning will be alter-
nately displayed. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Vehicle information
display warnings and indicators” in the
“Instruments and controls” section of
this manual.
WARNING
Your vehicle contains a sealed Lithium-
ion (Li-ion) high-voltage battery. If the
Li-ion battery is disposed of improperly,
there is a risk of severe burns and elec-
trical shock that may result in serious
injury or death and there is also a risk of
environmental damage.
CAUTION
∙ Do not misuse the Li-ion battery.
∙ Do not use the Li-ion battery for anyother purpose.
The Li-ion battery is used to drive the elec-
tric motors in the NISSAN PURE DRIVE® Hy-
brid System.
The Li-ion battery has a limited service life.
It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for information about recycling or
disposal of the battery.
NISSAN PURE DRIVE® HYBRID
SYSTEM LITHIUM-ION (Li-ion) BATTERY
HEV-2HEV Overview

∙ 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 accident. If the
emergency shut-off system activates, the
hybrid system may not switch to the READY
to drive position. It is recommended that
you visit a NISSAN dealer. Even if the ignition
switch is placed in the READY to drive posi-
tion, the system may shut off suddenly.
Therefore, drive cautiously to the nearest
NISSAN dealer or contact a NISSAN dealer as
soon as possible.

1. Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery
2. Service plug
3. DC/DC converter
4. 12-volt battery
5. High-voltage harness
6. Traction motor inverter
7. Traction motor
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.

TACHOMETER
The tachometer indicates engine speed in
revolutions per minute (rpm). Do not rev
engine into the red zone
1.
CAUTION
When engine speed approaches the red
zone, reduce engine speed. Operating
the engine in the red zone may cause
serious engine damage.
FUEL GAUGE
The gauge indicates theapproximatefuel
level in the tank.
The gauge may move slightly during brak-
ing, turning, acceleration, or going up or
down hills.
The gauge needle returns to 0 (Empty) af-
ter the ignition switch is placed in the OFF
position.
The low fuel warning message appears in
the vehicle information display when the
amount of fuel in the tank is getting low. Refill the fuel tank before the gauge reg-
isters 0 (Empty).
The
indicates that the fuel-filler door
is located on the passenger’s side of the
vehicle.
CAUTION
∙ If the vehicle runs out of fuel, theMalfunction Indicator Light (MIL) may
come on. Refuel as soon as possible.
Af ter a few driving trips. the
light
should turn off. If the light remains on
af ter a few driving trips, have the ve-
hicle inspected. It is recommended
that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service.
∙ For additional information, refer to “Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)” in
this section.
