Vehicle range depends on a number of factors.

Actual vehicle range will vary depending upon:

• speed,

• vehicle load,

• electrical load from vehicle accessories,

• traffic and road conditions,

NISSAN recommends the following driving
habits to help maximize vehicle range:

Before driving:

• Follow recommended periodic maintenance.

• Keep tires inflated to correct pressure.

• Keep wheels in correct alignment.

• Pre-heat or pre-cool the interior cabin while the

vehicle is charging.

• Remove unnecessary cargo from the vehicle.

While driving:

• Drive in ECO mode

– In the ECO position more regenerative

brake is applied when the accelerator pedal
is released in comparison to the D (Drive)
position and more power is provided to the
Li-ion battery.
