Nissan Rogue Hybrid (2019 year). Manual — part 1

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 shift
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
“Shift 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 any

other 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.

may result in serious injury or death.
The vehicle high-voltage system has
no user serviceable parts. It is recom-
mended 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 wear-
ing personal protection equipment
and is part of the high-voltage sys-
tem. 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 ve-

hicle off the road, put the transmis-
sion 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

high-voltage parts and cables. Never
touch the parts and cables. For addi-
tional information on their locations,
refer to “High-voltage components
and their locations” in this section. To
avoid personal injury, never touch
high-voltage wiring, connectors, and
other high-voltage parts, such as the
electric motor inverter and Li-ion bat-
tery. 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 ve-
hicle in a safe location and check the
floor.

HIGH-VOLTAGE CAUTIONS

ROAD ACCIDENT CAUTIONS

HEV Overview

HEV-3

∙ 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.

EMERGENCY SHUT-OFF SYSTEM

HEV-4

HEV Overview

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.

CAUTION

Do not start the system in the N (Neu-
tral) position under cold condition of
the system. Start in the P (Park) position
in that case.

The READY to drive indicator light
flashes until the hybrid system is ready to
drive.
If starting in a low temperature environ-
ment, the flashing time of the READY to
drive indicator light

becomes longer.

It cannot move out from the P (Park) range
during flashing.
When

the

READY

to

drive

indicator

light

illuminates, the vehicle can be

driven, even if the gasoline engine is not
running.

NOTE:

The gasoline engine starts and stops au-
tomatically. It may stop during decelera-
tion or when the vehicle is stopped.
The gasoline engine may automatically
run in the following conditions:

∙ The level of remaining charge in the Li-

ion battery is low. The engine runs to
charge the Li-ion battery and to provide
power to drive the vehicle.

∙ The temperature of the engine coolant

is low.

∙ When the A/C is used.

∙ When opening the door.

∙ When the engine hood is opened.

∙ When applying the brakes.

∙ Based on driving conditions.

∙ The shift lever is moved to the P (Park)

position, the driver’s seat belt is re-
leased and the driver’s side door is then
opened.

The hybrid system operates as follows
based on driving conditions and the Li-ion
battery charge.

The engine is hard to stop during these
driving conditions:

∙ When the A/C is on and outside tem-

perature is high/low.

∙ When repeatedly starting and stopping

the engine.

STARTING AND SLOW SPEED
DRIVING

In some cases, the vehicle can be driven by
the electric motor during extremely slow
speed creep, but the engine starts when
accelerating or releasing the brakes.

MEDIUM OR HIGH SPEED DRIVING

The system automatically controls the
gasoline engine and electric motor in order
to obtain the optimum fuel mileage and
performance, depending on the driving
situation

and

available

Li-ion

battery

charge.

When the remaining battery level is low, the
Li-ion battery is charged by the electric
motor that is driven to generate electric
power while the vehicle is driving.

RAPID ACCELERATION

The vehicle is accelerated using both the
gasoline engine and the electric motor de-
pending on the available Li-ion battery
charge.

formation shown in the blue columns
means past (more than 2 minutes).

This vehicle is equipped with two braking
systems:

∙ Hydraulic brake system

∙ Regenerative brake system

When the vehicle decelerates while the ve-
hicle 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 fol-
lowing 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 sys-
tem controls both hydraulic and regenera-
tive 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.

REGENERATIVE BRAKE

HEV-10

HEV Overview

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.

HYBRID VEHICLE
CHARACTERISTICS

WARNING

∙ When you leave your vehicle, be sure

to 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 shift 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.

HEV Overview

HEV-13

An air vent is located on the right hand side
of the luggage room to cool the Li-ion bat-
tery and DC/DC converter. If the vent is
covered, the battery will overheat resulting
in reduced output performance of the hy-
brid system. For additional information, re-
fer 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 cir-
cuit and damage the Li-ion battery
and cooling fan.

CAUTION

Do not load large amounts of water in
open containers (aquariums or buck-
ets) into the vehicle. If the water spills
onto the Li-ion battery, it may cause a
short circuit and damage the Li-ion bat-
tery or DC/DC converter.
