ECO-DRIVING TIPS & TECHNIQUES

You have the power to positively influence your energy consumption. Gentle starts and avoiding sudden accelerations or hard braking can make a big difference. You can also better follow the flow of traffic by using the engine brake rather than the brake pedal. 

Avoid high consumption detours by planning your routes and anticipating traffic thanks to ECO routes [1] in the NissanConnect Navigation System. When you can, prioritise routes with minimal stops for a smooth and consistent drive.

Nissan technology gives you greater control over your driving experience. Technologies such as ProPILOT Assist [1] and Cruise Control [1] help maintain a steady speed and avoid over consumption.

Stop and Start technology helps reduce consumption while driving in the city. The use of this technology can help reduce your fuel consumption. This is achieved by de-activating your engine when stopping frequently.

*On certain Nissan models only.

Under-inflated tyres result in a larger surface area of the tyre on the road, and therefore more friction and fuel consumption. By respecting the indication on your tyre pressure, you will maintain the condition of your tyres for longer.

Being warm in the winter and cool in the summer is great, but it uses a lot of power. Avoiding a large temperature difference between the outside and inside of your cabin, can ensure you're comfortable in your car while reducing fuel consumption. If you drive an electric vehicle, pre-heating or cooling your vehicle while charging can help to optimise your battery.

The heavier your car is the more energy it needs to move. So remember to unload your car of any unnecessary weight & remove any outdoor equipment like racks or roof racks when not in use.

Nissan engineers work to design cars with great aerodynamics and limited drag. So, to avoid the parachute effect, keep your windows up at high speed!

e-Pedal not only simplifies your driving experience, making it more comfortable, it saves energy too. In stop-and-go city traffic, it saves energy by recovering a small amount of charge while deccelerating.

*e-Pedal STEP is available on ARIYA, X-Trail, Qashqai and Juke only. e-Pedal is available on LEAF only.

Activating EV mode* allows you to drive using only the electric motor. This in turns saves energy & reduces CO2 emissions whilst driving. Employing B-Mode** will increase the energy recovered from regenerative braking, helping charge the battery and provide a longer range.
