Nissan LEAF 2023 Owners Manual
9.3. ECO mode
The ECO mode helps reduce power consumption by reducing acceleration when compared to the same accelerator pedal position in the D (Drive) position. Use the ECO mode for maximum vehicle range and for city driving.
To turn on the ECO mode, push the ECO switch. The ECO mode indicator appears on the vehicle information display.
To turn off the ECO mode, push the ECO mode switch again. The ECO mode indicator will turn off.
The selection of the ECO mode (ON or OFF) is retained even when the EV system is restarted.
When the ECO mode is turned off, driving performance is changed. Before turning off the ECO mode, ensure it is safe to do so, release the accelerator pedal and operate the ECO switch.
Turn off the ECO mode when acceleration is required, such as when:
driving with a heavy load of passengers or cargo in the vehicle.
driving on a steep uphill slope.
When the cruise control (where fitted), Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) (where fitted) or ProPILOT Assist (where fitted) is operated, the vehicle makes it a priority to maintain a constant speed. The driving range will not be extended even if the ECO mode indicator appears.
