NISSAN 2015 LEAF - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 38)

Use the ECO position for maximum vehicle range
and for city driving. The ECO position helps re-
duce power consumption by reducing accelera-
tion when compared to the same accelerator
pedal position in the D (Drive) position.
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.
See “ECO indicator” in the “Instruments and
controls” section.
