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 shift
lever in the P (Park) position. While driv-
ing, place the shift 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.
