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.
