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 may not run if the high voltage battery is discharged.
HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY STATUS METER
The meter indicates the amount of power that is left in the high voltage
battery. The ideal battery charge is when the needle points within the
normal range zone
01 .
ENERGY MONITORS (vehicles with navigation)
energy flow for various operating modes can be displayed on the navigat\
ion system monitor. The
screen must be set to the energy flow mode or the energy/
fuel History mode.
eneRGy fLOW MOde
This is a representative example of the energy
f low 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 electric (traction) motor.
When the vehicle is powered by both the electric (traction) motor and t\
he 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.
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 is in the
01 range, the Hybrid System high
voltage battery is being charged.
n OT e: The maximum power output may be reduced when the outside
temperature is extremely high or low, or when climbing hills.

CLOCK SET/ADJUSTMENT
nAViGATi On S ySTe M O nLy (if so equipped)
Press the SETTING button, and then select the
“clock” key to access the following clock settings:
On-screen clock – When this item is turned to
On, a clock is always displayed in the upper
right corner of the screen. The clock is
automatically adjusted by the GPS system.
clock f ormat – choose either the 12-hour clock display or the 24-hour clock display.
Offset (hour) – Adjust the time by increasing or decreasing the hou\
r.
Offset (minute) – Adjust the time by increasing or decreasing the minutes.
daylight Savings Time – Turn this item to O n for daylight savings time application.
Time Zone – choose the time zone.
REARVIEW MONITOR (if so equipped)
When the shift lever is moved to the R (R eVeRSe) position, the
monitor display will automatically change to show the area directly
behind the vehicle. The colored lines on the display screen indicate
approximate distances to objects.
Red 1.5 ft (0.5 m); y ellow 3 ft (1 m); Green 7 ft (2 m) and 10 ft (3 m).
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 01 for more than 1 second to
reset the currently displayed trip odometer to zero.
ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE
TRANSMISSION (eCVT)
The e cVT does not produce a gear change sensation like
traditional automatic transmissions.
Most driving conditions require driving in d (d RiV e) range.
The B (BRA ke) 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.
n OT e: With the transmission in the B (BRA ke) position and your
foot off the accelerator pedal, engine braking will be applied.
When driving in heavy traffic, operate the vehicle in the
d (d RiVe) position to prevent the high voltage battery from being discharged.
The transmission in your vehicle requires a special fluid available onl\
y at your ni SSAn dealer.
no other fluid will meet the exact requirements of the ecVT.
