NISSAN 2013 LEAF - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 38)

Use the ECO position for maximum vehicle range
and for city driving. The ECO position helps
reduce power consumption by reducing accel-
eration when compared to the same accelerator
pedal position in the D (Drive) position and re-
duces the power provided to the heating and air
conditioner system.
Without navigation system model: When the
ECO position is used, more regenerative brake is
applied when the accelerator pedal is released in
comparison to the D (Drive) position.
NOTE:
The regenerative brake converts the vehi-
cle’s forward motion to electric power to
help slow the vehicle.
While the vehicle is being driven you can check
your own ECO drive level on the ECO indicator.

ЉECO indicatorЉ in the ЉInstruments and con-
trols Љ section.
