COLD WEATHER RANGE AND PARKING IN
EXTREMELY COLD WEATHER

COLD WEATHER RANGE

Vehicle range is reduced when the heater is used and the battery temperature

drops below 77°F (25°C).

Using the climate control system to heat the cabin when the outside

temperature is below 32°F (0°C) uses more electricity (heat pump, if so equipped)
and aects vehicle range more than using the heater at temperatures
above 32°F (0°C).

PARKING IN EXTREMELY COLD WEATHER

Do not store the vehicle in temperatures below -13°F (-25°C) for over seven days.

If the outside temperature is -13°F (-25°C) or lower, the Li-ion battery may freeze,
and it cannot be charged or provide power to run the vehicle.

Please see your Owner’s Manual for important safety information, system limitations, and additional
operating and feature information.

For more information, refer to the “Starting and driving (section 5)” of your Owner’s Manual.

and audible warnings if an approaching vehicle is detected.

The RCTA and BSW system can be turned on or o through the “Settings” menu

in the vehicle information display.

Please see your Owner’s Manual for important safety information, system limitations, and additional
operating and feature information.

For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)” and the “Starting and driving

(section 5)” of your Owner’s Manual.

INTELLIGENT BLIND SPOT INTERVENTION (I-BSI)

The I-BSI system helps alert the driver

of other vehicles in adjacent lanes when
changing lanes, and helps assist the driver
to return the vehicle to the center of the
traveling lane.

An indicator light located on the outside

mirrors will illuminate if the radar sensors
detect a vehicle in the detection zone.

The I-BSI ON indicator light on the

instrument panel illuminates when the BSI
system is turned on.

To turn on the I-BSI system, push the

switch on the steering wheel (models
with ProPILOT Assist) or the dynamic driver
assistance switch (models without ProPILOT
Assist) after starting the EV system.

33

To view detailed instructional videos regarding these and other features,

please go to www.nissanownersinfo.mobi.

The I-BSI system operates above approximately 37 mph (60 km/h). If the system

detects a vehicle in the detection zone and your vehicle is approaching the lane
marker, the BSI system provides an audible warning (three times), ashes the
side indicator light and slightly applies the brakes for a short period of time on
one side to help return the vehicle back to the traveling lane.

The I-BSI system can be turned on or o through the “Settings” menu in the

vehicle information display.

Please see your Owner’s Manual for important safety information, system limitations, and additional
operating and feature information.

For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)” and the “Starting and driving

(section 5)” of your Owner’s Manual.

PROPILOT ASSIST (if so equipped)

ProPILOT Assist is a combination of Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) and Steering
Assist. The ProPILOT Assist system is intended to enhance the operation of the
vehicle when following a vehicle traveling in the same lane and direction. The
ProPILOT Assist system is a “hands-on” driver assistance system and is intended for
use on expressways/highways.

The driver must be prepared to steer and brake the vehicle at all times.

SETTING THE PROPILOT ASSIST SYSTEM

1. To set ProPILOT Assist, push the
on the steering wheel. The ProPILOT

Assist system display will appear on the
vehicle information display.
