ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED
CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE
TRANSMISSION (eCV T)
 The eCVT does not produce a gear change sensation like traditional automatic transmissions.
 Most driving conditions require driving in D (Drive) range. The B (Brake) range can increase engine braking that can be used on long downhill descents. It can also increase the rate of high voltage battery charging for short periods of time.
Note: With the transmission in the B (Brake) position and your foot off the accelerator pedal, engine braking will be applied.
 When driving in heavy traffic, operate the vehicle in the D (Drive) position to prevent the high voltage battery from being discharged.
 The transmission in your vehicle requires a special fluid available only at your NISSAN dealer. No other fluid will meet the exact requirements of the new eCVT.

UNIQUE HYBRID CHARACTERISTICS
The Altima Hybrid vehicle has unique characteristics. Some of the unique features of this vehicle are:
 If the READY light is on, you can begin driving even when the gasoline engine is not running.
 The gasoline engine may shut off while driving or stopping.
 The vehicle will not run if the high voltage battery is discharged.

ENERGY/FUEL HISTORY MODE
(Navigation System only)
The Energy/Fuel History can be displayed
on the navigation system monitor. The
screen must be set to the Energy Flow
mode or the Energy/Fuel History mode.
This displays the vehicle’s average fuel
consumption and regenerative electric
power at 5 minute intervals.
The displayed values on the screen indicate general driving conditions. Accuracy varies
with driving habits and road conditions.
Regenerated energy in the past 30 minutes: The regenerated energy in the past
30 minutes is indicated with symbols. One symbol indicates 50 watt hours. The
energy of 50 watt hours illuminates a 50 watt bulb for an hour.
Fuel consumption in the past 30 minutes: Fuel consumption in the past 30
minutes is displayed.
Current fuel consumption (“Latest” column): The current fuel consumption is
calculated and displayed based on distance and fuel consumption.

POWER METER
 The power meter indicates the total amount of power the Hybrid System is producing to move the vehicle. In the start position, the READY light illuminates and the vehicle can be started and driven.
 When the power meter reads less than 0, the Hybrid System high voltage battery is being charged.
Note: The maximum power output may be reduced when the outside temperature is extremely high or low, or when climbing hills.
01
HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY STATUS METER
The meter indicates the amount of power that is left in the
high voltage battery.
LOW TEMPERATURE INDICATOR LIGHT (BLUE)
 The low temperature indicator light illuminates blue when the engine
coolant temperature is low.
 When the ignition switch is pushed to the ON position, the low temperature
indicator light will illuminate. The light will turn off after the engine coolant has warmed up.
 If the low temperature indicator light remains illuminated after the engine has warmed
up, it may indicate that the engine coolant system is not functioning properly and may
need servicing.
ENERGY MONITORS (Navigation
System only)
Energy flow for various operating modes can
be displayed on the navigation system monitor.
The screen must be set to the Energy Flow
mode or the Energy/Fuel History mode.
eN eRGY FL oW M oDe
This is a representative example of the Energy Flow display. The Energy Flow display
might vary, depending on the operating condition of the vehicle. The graphic does not
reflect the actual motion of the vehicle.
The Energy Flow will display:
 When the vehicle is powered only by the traction motor.
 When the vehicle is powered by both the traction motor and the gasoline engine.
 When the vehicle is powered only by the gasoline engine.
 When the vehicle is regenerating and charging the high voltage battery.
 When there is no energy flow in the vehicle.

TRUNK SECURITY
tRUNK LID CANC eL SWI tCH (if so equipped)
 When the cancel switch (located inside the glove
box) is oFF, the trunk lid cannot be opened with the
trunk lid opener, the trunk request switch button or
the Intelligent Key button.
 It can be opened by using the Emergency
Inside Trunk Release.

FRONT-PASSENGER AIR BAG STATUS LIGHT
This vehicle is equipped with the Nissan Advanced Air Bag
system. Under some conditions, depending on the type of
occupant or object detected in the front passenger seat by the
occupant classification sensor, the front-passenger air bag is
designed to automatically turn oFF. When the front-passenger air
bag is oFF, the front-passenger air bag status light will illuminate*.
For example:
 When the system detects that the front-passenger’s seat is occupied by a small
adult, child or child restraint as outlined in the Owner’s Manual, the
will illuminate
to indicate that the front-passenger air bag is oFF and will not inflate in a crash.
 When the front-passenger’s seat is occupied and the passenger meets the
conditions outlined in the Owner’s Manual, the will not illuminate to indicate that
the front-passenger air bag is operational.
*When the system detects that the front-passenger’s seat is unoccupied, the
passenger air bag status light will not illuminate even though the front-passenger
air bag is oFF.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for detailed information regarding the Nissan Advanced Air
Bag System.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)
This system monitors tire pressure. Please remember, this system
does not detect a sudden drop in tire pressure (for example, a
blowout while driving). It also does not monitor the air pressure in
the spare tire.
Tire pressure is affected by temperature. Low outside temperature
causes lower tire pressure. This may cause the low tire pressure
warning light to illuminate.
If the low tire pressure warning light illuminates, check the tire pressure in all four tires.
To turn the low tire pressure warning light off, adjust the low tire pressure to the
recommended COLD tire pressure shown on the Tire and Loading Information label
located in the driver’s door opening.
If TPMS is not functioning properly, the low tire pressure warning light will flash for
approximately 60 seconds when the key is turned on. After 60 seconds, the light will
remain on. Have the system checked by a NISSAN dealer.
FUEL-FILLER DOOR RELEASE
The fuel-filler door release is located on the floor to the
left of the driver’s seat.
 To open the fuel-filler door, pull the release up.
 To lock, close the fuel-filler door securely.
TWIN TRIP ODOMETER
 The twin trip odometer records the distance of
individual trips.
 Press the button 01 to change the display as
follows: Trip A Trip B Trip A.
 Press and hold the button for more than 1 second to
reset the trip odometer to zero.
01
VEHICLE INFORMATION DISPLAY
When the selection button 01 is pressed, the
following modes will display on the screen:
 Setting
 Warnings (if there are any)
 MPG (instant fuel economy)
 MPG/MPH (average fuel
economy and speed)
 Time/Miles (elapsed time since last reset)
 Range (average distance to empty)
 Exterior temperature
S ett ING M oDe
When the setting mode 02 is selected, you are able to set reminders for alerts,
maintenance intervals or language displays.
 The ALERT mode allows you to set alerts notifying yourself of time to rest or icy
traveling conditions.
 The MAINTENANCE mode allows you to set alerts for the reminding of
maintenance intervals for engine oil, oil filter, tires and others.
 The DISPLAY mode allows you to change the language (English or French) or unit
of measurement (US or metric) display.
