Nissan Ariya: Before starting the EV system

WARNING

The driving characteristics of your vehicle will change remarkably by any additional load and its distribution, as well as by adding optional equipment (trailer coupling, roof racks, etc.). Your driving style and speed must be adjusted according to the circumstances. Especially when carrying heavy loads, your speed must be reduced adequately.

• Make sure the area around the vehicle is clear.
• Visually inspect tires for their appearance and condition. Measure and check the tire pressure for proper inflation.
• Check that all windows and lights are clean.
• Adjust the seat and head restraint/ headrest positions.
• Adjust the inside and outside rearview mirror positions.
• Fasten your seat belt and ask all passengers to do the same.
• Check that all doors are locked.
• Check the operation of the warning lights when the power switch is placed in the ON position.
• Maintenance items in the "8. Maintenance and do-it-yourself" section should be checked periodically.
