4. Gradually steer the vehicle to a safe lo-
cation off the road and away from traffic
if possible.
5. Lightly apply the brake pedal to gradu-
ally stop the vehicle.

mation, see “Flat tire” (P. 6-3).
DRINKING ALCOHOL/DRUGS AND
DRIVING
WARNING
Never drive under the influence of alco-
hol or drugs. Alcohol in the blood-
stream reduces coordination, delays
reaction time and impairs judgement.
Driving after drinking alcohol increases
the likelihood of being involved in an
accident injuring yourself and others.
Additionally, if you are injured in an ac-
cident, alcohol can increase the sever-
ity of the injury.
NISSAN is committed to safe driving. How-
ever, you must choose not to drive under
the influence of alcohol. Every year thou-
sands of people are injured or killed in
alcohol-related accidents. Although the lo-
cal laws vary on what is considered to be
legally intoxicated, the fact is that alcohol
affects all people differently and most
people
underestimate
the
effects
of
alcohol.
Remember, drinking and driving don’t mix!
That is true for drugs, too (over-the-
counter, prescription, and illegal drugs). Do
not drive if your ability to operate your ve-
hicle is impaired by alcohol, drugs, or some
other physical condition.
WARNING
•
Do not operate the power switch
while driving the vehicle except in an
emergency. (The EV system shuts
down when the power switch is
pushed three consecutive times or
the power switch is pushed and held
for more than 2 seconds.) If the EV
system stops while the vehicle is be-
ing driven, this could lead to a crash
and serious injury.
•
When turning off the power switch,
make sure to push the P (Park) posi-
tion switch on the shift lever even if
the vehicle is maintaining a stop and
hold using the e-pedal. This will pre-
vent the vehicle from moving or roll-
ing unexpectedly, which could result
in serious personal injury or property
damage.
Before operating the power switch, make
sure the vehicle is in the P (Park) position.

NISSAN VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER
SYSTEM
The NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System
will not allow the power switch to be placed
in the READY to drive position without the
use of the registered key.
If the power switch fails to place the vehicle
into the READY to drive position using the
registered key, it may be due to interfer-
ence caused by another registered key, an
automated toll road device or automated
payment device on the key ring. Restart the
EV system using the following procedure:
1. Leave the power switch in the ON posi-
tion for approximately 5 seconds.
2. Place the power switch in the OFF posi-
tion and wait approximately 10 seconds.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 again.
4. Place the power switch in the READY to
drive position while holding the device
(which may have caused the interfer-
ence) separate from the registered key.
If this procedure allows the power
switch to be placed in the READY to drive
mode, NISSAN recommends placing the
registered key on a separate key ring to
avoid interference from other devices.
• Make sure that the area around the ve-
hicle is clear.
• Check fluid levels such as coolant, brake
fluid, and windshield-washer fluid as fre-
quently as possible.
• Check that all windows and lights are
clean.
• Visually inspect tires for their appearance
and condition. Also check tires for proper
inflation.
• Check that all doors are closed.
• Position the seat and adjust the head
restraints/headrests.
• Adjust the inside and outside mirrors.
• Fasten seat belts and ask all passengers
to do likewise.
• Check the operation of the warning lights
when the power switch is pushed to the
ON position. For additional information,
see “Warning lights, indicator lights and
audible reminders” (P. 2-14).

WARNING
Never rely solely on the e-Pedal system,
as there is a performance limit to the
system function. Always drive carefully
and attentively. The brake pedal should
be operated to slow or stop the vehicle,
depending
on
traffic
or
road
conditions.
The e-Pedal system enables the driver to
slow or stop the vehicle or to keep the ve-
hicle stopped by operating only the accel-
erator pedal. This system helps to keep the
driver from moving his/her foot between
the accelerator pedal and the brake pedal.
E-PEDAL SYSTEM OPERATION
LSD3165
E-PEDAL SYSTEM
Starting and driving
5-21
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Acceleration
2. Deceleration (instead of brake pedal)
3. Making a stop (instead of brake pedal
When the e-Pedal system is activated, the
regenerative brake is enhanced and the
driver can adjust the vehicle speed by only
depressing or returning the accelerator
pedal. When you release (take your foot off)
the accelerator pedal, the vehicle slows
down and comes to a stop smoothly with-
out depressing the brake pedal. After a
stop, the vehicle remains at a stop
automatically.
To activate or deactivate the e-Pedal sys-
tem, place the power switch in the ON po-
sition and pull the e-Pedal switch located
on the center console. The e-Pedal system
turns on or off each time the e-Pedal
switch is pulled. (The e-Pedal indicator in
the vehicle information display shows the
status of the e-Pedal system.)
To turn the e-Pedal system off while the
vehicle is stopped by the e-Pedal system,
depress the brake pedal and then pull the
e-Pedal switch.
NOTE:
• When the e-Pedal system is switched
on or off, the degree of vehicle decel-
eration changes.
• The
e-Pedal
system
automatically
turns off when the EV system restarts.
• To keep the e-Pedal system activated
even after the EV system restarts, turn
on “Retain Mode” in the “Driver Assis-
tance” menu of the vehicle information
display. For additional information, see
“Vehicle information display” (P. 2-26).
• The setting for “Retain Mode” does not
reset after selecting “Factory Reset” in
the “Settings” menu of the vehicle in-
formation display. For additional infor-
mation, see “Vehicle information dis-
play” (P. 2-26).
When the e-Pedal system is activated, the
characteristics of the accelerator pedal
change significantly and the accelerator
pedal operates differently than a conven-
tional accelerator pedal operates. Be sure
to confirm the status of the e-Pedal system
in the vehicle information display before
driving.
LSD3166
LSD3645
5-22
Starting and driving
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The e-Pedal system provides the following
driving features:
When driving and stopping the vehicle:
• Depressing or returning the accelerator
pedal changes the degree of accelera-
tion and deceleration accordingly.
• Returning the accelerator pedal gener-
ates more deceleration than normal. (The
maximum deceleration changes accord-
ing to the vehicle speed.)
• Releasing (taking your foot off) the accel-
erator pedal reduces the vehicle speed
until the vehicle comes to a stop.
• The vehicle’s brake lights illuminate when
the deceleration level reaches an ordi-
nary braking operation.
If the deceleration is not sufficient when the
accelerator pedal is returned or released,
depress the brake pedal. The brake pedal
can be operated to reduce the vehicle
speed in the same way as normal even
when the e-Pedal system is activated.
When restarting the vehicle:
• After the vehicle comes to a stop by the
e-Pedal system function, the vehicle re-
mains at a stop as long as the accelerator
pedal is released.
• The vehicle’s brake lights remain illumi-
nated when the vehicle is stopped by the
e-Pedal system.
• Depress the accelerator pedal to start
the vehicle again from a stop.
When the vehicle needs to be stopped for a
certain period of time, place the vehicle in
the P (Park) position and apply the parking
brake.
CAUTION
When the e-Pedal system is turned off,
remember to depress the brake pedal
firmly to prevent the vehicle from mov-
ing with the shift lever in any position
other than P (Park).
When backing up the vehicle:
• With the shift lever in the R (Reverse) po-
sition, operating the accelerator pedal
adjusts the vehicle speed (acceleration,
deceleration, or stopping) in the same
way as the D (Drive) position.
Other
driving
tips
for
the
e-Pedal
system:
• For
smooth
deceleration
when
the
e-Pedal system is activated, it is recom-
mended that you adjust the accelerator
pedal by either depressing or returning,
not releasing, the pedal.
• Moving the shift lever from D (Drive) to B
mode or from B mode to D (Drive) does
