Nissan Ariya: Increasing power economy

The actual driving 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 driving range:

Before driving:

• Follow recommended scheduled maintenance.
• Keep tires inflated to the 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
  • The ECO mode helps reduce power consumption by reducing acceleration when compared to the same accelerator pedal position in the STANDARD mode.
• Drive at a constant speed. Maintain cruising speeds with constant accelerator pedal positions or use the cruise control system when appropriate.
• Accelerate slowly and smoothly.

  Gently depress and release the accelerator pedal for acceleration and deceleration.

• Drive at moderate speeds on the highway.
• Avoid frequent stopping and braking.

  Maintain a safe distance behind other vehicles.

• Turn off the climate control system when it is not necessary.
• Select a moderate temperature setting for heating or cooling to help reduce power consumption.
• Use the "Fan ONLY" to help reduce power consumption.
• In cold weather, use the heated seats and the heated steering wheel as a substitute for the climate control system to help reduce power consumption.
• Use the climate control system and close windows to reduce drag when cruising at highway speed.
• Release the accelerator pedal to slow down and do not apply the brakes when traffic and road conditions allow.
  • This vehicle is equipped with a regenerative brake system. The primary purpose of regenerative brake system is to provide some power to recharge the Li-ion battery and extend driving range. A secondary benefit is "engine braking" that operates based on Li-ion battery conditions. In the D (Drive) or B position, when the accelerator pedal is released, the regenerative brake system provides some deceleration and some power to the Li-ion battery.
