Nissan Qashqai e-POWER 2023 Owners Manual
2.9.2. When driving
Drive your vehicle with smooth start and acceleration.
Abrupt starting and acceleration will consume more electric power and decrease fuel economy.
You can accelerate the vehicle with less power consumption by checking the condition of the electric power consumption in the power meter.
Keep a distance from the vehicle in front of you. Do not decelerate the vehicle more than necessary so that you can decrease the electric power consumption required to accelerate again.
Do not drive at excessive speeds on a highway. Driving at excessive speeds consumes electric power more than necessary.
Set the air conditioner at a moderate temperature and turn it off if unnecessary. Redundant power consumption can be reduced by the air conditioner.
Do not use the defogger more than necessary. After removing fog from the windscreen, switching to the other air flow mode reduces the engine operation frequency and improve the fuel economy.
Drive the vehicle in [ECO] mode for efficient use. Then the driving force response to accelerator operation is gentler than in [STANDARD] / [SPORT] mode; it suppresses unnecessary acceleration / deceleration and realizes energy saving.
The fuel efficiency improves in the following order: [SPORT] mode → [STANDARD] mode → [ECO] mode. [ECO] mode is the most fuel-efficient mode. (See
.)When the [ECO] Mode Customize (Air Conditioning) is turned ON (fuel efficiency- oriented), the fuel efficiency is improved by reducing the performance of the air conditioner.
The following are some conditions in which the fuel economy decreases significantly:
When driving on a route where there are many uphill roads.
When continuing driving at a high speed on a highway.
When starting, accelerating or braking abruptly.
