WARNING
cPull your vehicle off the road, put the
transmission in the P (Park) position,
apply the parking brake and turn the
Hybrid System off.
cCheck to see if there are exposed high
voltage parts and cables. Never touch
the parts and cables. See “High voltage
components”, later in this section for
the locations of the high voltage parts
and cables.
cTo avoid personal injury, do not touch
high voltage wiring, connectors and
high voltage parts (inverter unit, high
voltage battery etc.) .
cIf exposed electric wires are visible in-
side or outside of your vehicle, an elec-
tric shock may occur. Never touch the
electric wires.
cInspect the ground under the vehicle. If
liquid has leaked onto the ground, the
fuel system may have been damaged.
Leave the vehicle as soon as possible.cNever touch fluid leaks inside or out-
side the vehicle. The leak may be strong
alkaline electrolyte from the high volt-
age battery. If it contacts your skin or
eyes, wash it off immediately with a
large amount of water or if possible,
boric acid solution. Get immediate
medical attention to help avoid serious
injury.
cIf a fire occurs in the hybrid vehicle,
leave the vehicle as soon as possible.
Never use a fire extinguisher that is not
meant for use on electric fires. Using
even a small amount of water may be
also dangerous.
cIf your vehicle needs to be towed, do it
with the front wheels raised. If the front
wheels are on the ground when towing,
the traction motor may generate elec-
tricity. This may damage the Hybrid Sys-
tem components and cause a fire.
EMERGENCY SHUT OFF SYSTEM
The emergency shut off system automatically
turns off the high voltage current in certain frontal
collisions. This is to minimize the risk of electrical
short circuits. If the system activates, your vehicle
will not restart. To restart the Hybrid System,
contact a NISSAN dealer.The Hybrid System monitors the status of power
being sent to the traction motor and the battery
state of charge. The status is shown on the hybrid
power meter and high voltage battery status
meter. System status can also be shown on the
navigation system display (if so equipped) when
the screen is in the Energy Flow mode or
energy/fuel history mode.

ENERGY FLOW (equipped with
navigation)
When you use this system, make sure the Hybrid
System is in the ready mode.If you use the system with the Hybrid Sys-
tem off (ignition ACC) for a long time, it will
use up all the 12–volt battery power, and
the engine will not start.
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.
To access the Energy Flow screen, you must
agree to the start-up screen. For additional infor-
mation, see “Setting up the start-up screen” in
the “Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice
recognition systems” section of this manual.

The Energy Flow display varies, depending on
the condition of the vehicle. The graphic does not
reflect the actual motion of the vehicle.
The Energy Flow will display:
cWhen the vehicle is powered only by the
traction motor.
cWhen the vehicle is powered by both the
traction motor and the gasoline engine.
cWhen the vehicle is powered only by the
gasoline engine.
cWhen the vehicle is regenerating and charg-
ing the high voltage battery.cWhen there is no energy flow in the vehicle.
ENERGY / FUEL HISTORY (equipped
with navigation)
The Energy / Fuel History screen appears in the
display with the navigation system when the
screen is in the Energy / Fuel History mode.
To access the Energy / Fuel History screen, you
must agree to the start-up screen. For additional
information, see “Setting up the start-up screen”

Press the INFO button on the control panel, and
then touch the “Energy / Fuel History” key on the
screen.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 gen-
eral driving conditions. Accuracy varies with driv-
ing habits and road conditions.1. Regenerated energy in the past 30 minutes:
The regenerated energy in the past 30 min-
utes is indicated with symbols. One symbol
indicates 50 watt hours. The energy of 50
watt hours illuminates a 50 watt bulb for an
hour.
2. Fuel consumption in the past 30 minutes:
Fuel consumption in the past 30 minutes is
displayed.
3. Current fuel consumption (Latest column):
The current fuel consumption is calculated
and displayed based on distance and fuel
consumption.

SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG
WARNING LABELS
Warning labels about the supplemental front air
bag systems are placed in the vehicle as shown
in the illustration.
SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG
WARNING LIGHT
The supplemental air bag warning light,
displayingin the instrument panel, moni-
tors the circuits of the supplemental front air bag,
front seat-mounted side-impact supplemental air
bags, roof-mounted curtain side-impact and
supplemental air bag and seatbelt pretensioner
systems. The circuits monitored by the supple-
mental air bag warning light are the Air bag
Control Unit, crash zone sensor, satellite sen-
sors, front air bag modules, side air bag modules,
curtain side-impact air bag modules, seat belt
pretensioners and all related wiring.When the ignition is in the ON position, the
supplemental air bag warning light illuminates for
about 7 seconds and then turns off. This means
the system is operational.
If any of the following conditions occur, the
supplemental front air bag, side-impact supple-
mental air bag and curtain side-impact supple-
mental air bag and pretensioner system need
servicing:
cThe supplemental air bag warning light re-
mains on after approximately 7 seconds.
cThe supplemental air bag warning light
flashes intermittently.
cThe supplemental air bag warning light does
not come on at all.
Under these conditions, the supplemental front
air bag, side-impact supplemental air bag and
curtain side-impact and supplemental air bag or
pretensioner systems may not operate properly. It
must be checked and repaired. Take your vehicle
to the nearest NISSAN dealer.
