Nissan X-Trail e-POWER 2023 Owners Manual
8.31.1.3. Using the brakes
Avoid resting your foot on the brake pedal while driving. This will cause overheating of the brakes, wearing out the brake pads faster and will reduce driving range.
To help reduce brake wear and to prevent the brakes from overheating, reduce speed and select the B position before going down a slope or long grade. Overheated brakes may reduce braking performance and could result in loss of vehicle control.
While driving on a slippery surface, be careful when braking or accelerating. Abrupt braking or accelerating could cause the wheels to skid, which could result in an accident.
If the brake pedal is depressed with the e-POWER system OFF, you may feel an increased brake pedal effort and a decreased pedal stroke. If the brake warning light (red) does not illuminate and the brake pedal feels like it has returned to its normal state after the e-POWER system is started, this indicates that there is no malfunction and the vehicle can be operated normally.
