Nissan ARIYA 2024 Owners Manual

3.7.2. Improve driving range

The available driving range depends on a number of factors.

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 maximise driving range:

Before driving:

  • Follow recommended scheduled maintenance.

  • Keep tyres inflated to the correct pressure.

  • Keep wheels correctly aligned.

  • 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 a constant accelerator pedal position or by using 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 needed.

  • 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 (where fitted) as a substitute for climate control system to help reduce power consumption.

  • Use the climate control system to control interior temperature 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 the regenerative brake system is to provide some power to recharge the Li-ion battery and extend driving range. A secondary benefit is the “engine braking” effect that operates based on Li-ion battery conditions. In the D (Drive) or B position, when the accelerator is released, the regenerative brake system provides some deceleration and some power to the Li-ion battery.

  • The vehicle driving range may be substantially reduced in extremely cold conditions (for example -20°C (-4°F)).

  • Using the climate control system to heat the cabin when the outside temperature is below 0°C (32°F) uses more electricity and affects the vehicle driving range more than when using the heater when the temperature is above 0°C (32°F).
