NISSAN PURE DRIVE HYBRID SYSTEM
LITHIUM-ION (Li-ion) BATTERY
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 vehicle 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 vehicle.
WARNING
If you continue to drive the vehicle while the warning is displayed, the hybrid sys­tem may become temporarily inoperative and the system cannot provide power to the wheels. This can result in reduced or zero vehicle speed. The reduced speed or zero speed may be lower than other traf­fic, which could increase 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 shift lever in the P (Park) position, ignition in the READY to drive position with the vehicle stopped until the display turns off. The hybrid system overheat warning and the SHIFT “P” warning messages will be alternately displayed. For additional infor­mation, refer to “Shift to Park” 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 electrical 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 any
other purpose.
The Li-ion battery is used to drive the electric motors in the NISSAN PURE DRIVE Hybrid 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.
HEV-2 HEV Overview
HIGH-VOLTAGE CAUTIONS ROAD ACCIDENT CAUTIONS
WARNING
The NISSAN PURE DRIVE Hybrid Sys­tem uses high voltage up to approxi­mately 235 volts. The system can be hot while and after starting. Be careful of both the high voltage and the high tem­perature. Obey the warning labels at­tached to the vehicle.
Never touch, disassemble, remove or replace high-voltage parts, harnesses and their connectors. High-voltage har­nesses are orange. Touching, disassem­bling, removing or replacing those parts and harnesses can cause severe burns or electric shock that may result in seri­ous injury or death. The vehicle high­voltage system has no user serviceable parts. It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for any necessary maintenance.
Never try to remove the service plug located in the cargo area. The service plug is used only when the vehicle is serviced by trained technicians wearing personal protection equipment and is part of the high-voltage system. Touch­ing the service plug can cause severe burns or electric shock that may result in serious injury or death.
WARNING
In case of a collision:
If your vehicle is drivable, pull your ve­hicle off the road, put the transmission in the P (Park) position, apply the park­ing brake and turn the NISSAN PURE DRIVE Hybrid System off.
Check to see if there are exposed high­voltage parts and cables. Never touch the parts and cables. For their locations, refer to “High-voltage components and their locations” in this section. To avoid personal injury, never touch high­voltage wiring, connectors, and other high-voltage parts, such as electric mo­tor inverter and Li-ion battery. An elec­tric shock may occur if exposed electric wires are visible when viewed from in­side or outside of your vehicle. There­fore, never touch exposed electric wires.
If the vehicle receives a strong impact to the floor while driving, stop the vehicle in a safe location and check the floor.
Inspect the ground under the vehicle. If liquid has leaked onto the ground, the fuel system may have been damaged. 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 Li­ion 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 immediate 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 extin­guisher that is meant for use on electri­cal fires. Using water or the incorrect 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. Advise first responders that this is a hybrid vehicle.
HEV Overview HEV-3
EMERGENCY SHUT-OFF SYSTEM OPERATION OF THE HYBRID
SYSTEM
In the event of an accident that requires body repair and painting, the vehicle should be delivered to a NISSAN dealer to have the Li-ion battery 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 capacity loss. Damaged Li­ion battery packs may also pose safety risks to untrained 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 Sys-
tem malfunctions
For the above collisions and the certain hybrid system malfunctions, the READY to drive indica­tor light will turn off. For additional 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 switched to the READY to drive position, the system may shut off suddenly. Therefore, drive cautiously to the near­est NISSAN dealer or contact a NISSAN dealer as soon as possible.
To start the NISSAN PURE DRIVE Hybrid Sys­tem, depress the brake pedal and place the igni­tion switch in the ON position when the transmis­sion is in the P (Park) position.

HEV Overview HEV-9
REGENERATIVE BRAKE EFFICIENT USE OF YOUR VEHICLE
This vehicle is equipped with two braking sys­tems.
Hydraulic brake system
Regenerative brake system
When the vehicle decelerates while the vehicle is driven with the shift lever in the D (Drive) position, the Li-ion battery can be charged by the electric motor. The electric motor converts the energy of the rotating wheels into electric power under the following circumstances:
When the accelerator pedal is released
When the brake pedal is depressed
When there is no malfunction in the brake
system or the NISSAN PURE DRIVE Hybrid System.
The regenerative brake may not work properly if the vehicle is installed with tires and road wheels other than the ones specified in this manual.
While the regenerative cooperative brake system is operating, you might feel a slight vibration or hear the system working when braking. This is normal.
The regenerative cooperative brake system con­trols both hydraulic and regenerative brakes. If you feel unusual deceleration when braking, have the brake and hybrid systems checked. It is rec­ommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
Drive your vehicle with smooth accelera­tion and deceleration.
While driving, energy is recovered through the regenerative brake as the vehicle decel­erates. However, for most efficient use, do not accelerate or decelerate your vehicle more than necessary.
Avoid abrupt acceleration and deceleration.
The power of the Li-ion battery can be
checked on the Energy Flow in the center display (models with navigation system) or Li-ion battery status meter in the vehicle information display. For additional informa­tion, refer to “Energy Flow (models with navi­gation system)” in this section or “Vehicle information display” in the “Instruments and controls” section of this manual. Gradual or non-abrupt acceleration and deceleration will make more effective use of the electric power.
When parking, be sure to place the shift lever in the P (Park) position. While driving, place the shift lever in the D (Drive) position.
HEV-10 HEV Overview
APPROACHING VEHICLE SOUND FOR PEDESTRIANS (VSP) SYSTEM
HYBRID VEHICLE PRECAUTIONS
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 vehicle 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 vehicle is powered by the electric motor.
The sound stops when the vehicle stops.
The sound does not stop with the vehicle 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, refer to “Approaching Vehicle Sound for Pedestrians (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 vehicle 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 rec­ommended that you immediately con­tact a NISSAN dealer for inspection.

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 gasoline en­gine is not running. When the READY to drive indicator light is on, do not leave your vehicle in a shift position other than the P (Park) position. The vehicle will creep and start abruptly if the accel­erator pedal is depressed by mistake. This may cause serious injury or death.
CAUTION
If the vehicle is parked for a long period of time, the battery discharges gradually. 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 Li­ion battery is completely discharged and the hybrid system cannot be activated, it is recommended 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 vehicles or home electronic appliances despite 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), D (Drive), or R (Reverse) position, and while the accelerator pedal or the brake pedal is not depressed, the Li-ion battery does not recharge. Leaving the transmission in the N (Neutral), D (Drive), or R (Reverse) position, and while the accelerator pedal or the brake pedal is not depressed for an extended period (for example, when the shift lever is in the D (Drive) position and the vehicle is stopped only by the parking brake), may dis­charge the Li-ion battery and the hybrid system may automatically be turned off.

An air vent is located on the right hand side of the luggage room to cool the Li-ion battery and DC/DC converter. If the vent is covered, the battery will overheat resulting in reduced output performance of the hybrid system. For additional information, refer to “Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery air vent” in the “Appearance and care” section of this manual.

CAUTION
Do not place objects over or into the air vent. The Li-ion battery or DC/DC con­verter may overheat and be damaged.
Do not allow any liquid to get on or in the air vent. It may cause a short circuit and damage the Li-ion battery and cool­ing fan.
CAUTION
Do not load large amounts of water in open containers (aquariums or buckets) into the vehicle. If the water spills onto the Li-ion battery, it may cause a short circuit and damage the Li-ion battery or DC/DC converter.
Noise and vibration
After the hybrid system is activated, the following noises and vibrations that are unique to the hy­brid system may occur. The following situations do not indicate a malfunction:
Electric motor noise from the engine com­partment
Noise from the rear of the vehicle when the hybrid system activates or deactivates
Noise and vibration when the gasoline en­gine starts running or stops
Operating noise or electric motor noise when releasing the accelerator pedal or de­pressing the brake pedal
Engine noise due to rapid acceleration
Fan noise from the air inlet located on the
rear parcel shelf
Noise from the climate control system
