Yes, I've confirmed DFCO starts down to 1500 rpm in our xBs. It holds down to lower rpms, but you have to be ~1500 rpm to kick it in. My Sentra had to be >2500 rpm, which was >65 mph in 6th gear, so it was essentially useless to me. On our xBs, DFCO comes in at 35 mph in 5th gear, so it's available and useful much more often.
