SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
(Altima Hybrid only)
Your Nissan Altima Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) has both
high-voltage DC and AC systems as well as a 12-volt
system. Both DC and AC high voltage are very dangerous
and can cause personal injury, severe burns, and electric
shock and even fatal injury.
To avoid personal injury, please follow all caution labels
attached to high-voltage parts. Do not touch or attempt
to remove or replace any high-voltage wiring and
connectors.
If an accident occurs, do not touch any high-voltage
wiring, connectors or parts such as the inverter unit or
high voltage battery assembly.
Do not touch the potassium hydroxide electrolyte that
might spill or leak from the high voltage battery as the
result of an accident. If potassium hydroxide electrolyte
gets on your skin or in your eyes, neutralize it immediately
with a saturated boric acid solution (ratio: 80 grams
boric acid to two liters water.) Seek immediate medical
attention.
If a vehicle fi re occurs, extinguish it with a Class D
powder-type fi re extinguisher. Nissan recommends having maintenance and
repairs for your Altima Hybrid performed by an
authorized Nissan dealership. To locate your
nearest authorized Nissan dealership, contact the
Nissan Consumer Affairs Department at (800) -
NISSAN-1.

WARRANTY COVERAGE AT A GLANCE

2
The BBB will, in most cases, send you a fi nal decision within
forty (40) days (plus 7 if you have not contacted the proper
person from the dealership or Nissan) unless you delay the
process. If you accept the decision, it will be legally binding
on you and Nissan. If you do not accept the decision, it will
not be legally binding on you or Nissan. (However in some
states, if the decision is not accepted, it may be introduced
either by you or by Nissan, as evidence in any potentially
related court action.)
BBB AUTO LINE is an informal dispute settlement mechanism
operated to comply with applicable Federal law and regulations.
In states where BBB AUTO LINE is available, you are required to
use BBB AUTO LINE before exercising rights or seeking remedies
under Title I of the Federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, 15
U.S.C. §2301, et. seq. If you choose to seek remedies other than
those created by Title I of the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, (for
example, under state law) , that Federal Act does not require you
to fi rst use BBB AUTO LINE. The program is still available to you,
however, and may be of considerable assistance. Some states specify
that informal dispute settlement mechanisms such as BBB AUTO
LINE must be used before you may use state-operated complaint
resolution processes, before you may fi le a lawsuit under state
law, and/or before you may have certain other rights or remedies
available under state law. In accordance with those states' laws,
Nissan requires the prior use of BBB AUTO LINE in good faith
before you resort to such other processes, fi le a lawsuit, or seek
other remedies provided by state law. Please see the "2008 Nissan
Warranty Information Booklet & 2008 Nissan Owner's Manual" for
additional information.
BBB AUTO LINE may not be available in all states. We, Nissan,
would be pleased to provide you with information about the
availability of BBB AUTO LINE in your state, or call the BBB
AUTO LINE number listed above.
For additional information on the Auto Line program, please
refer to the information on your state in the Supplement to
Nissan Warranty Information Booklet.
Or you can write to Nissan with the above information
at:
Nissan North America, Inc.
Consumer Affairs Department
P.O. Box 685003
Franklin, TN 37068-5003
STEP 3:
In the event that you believe Nissan has been unable to
satisfactorily address the issue with your vehicle, a special
automotive complaint resolution program called BBB AUTO
LINE is available to you. The BBB AUTO LINE program is
independently operated by the Council of Better Business
Bureaus, Inc. (BBB) .
For information about the BBB AUTO LINE in your area,
please call us (Nissan) at the same toll free number (1-
800-NISSAN-1) . We will be happy to provide you with
information about BBB AUTO LINE. Or, you may contact
the BBB directly at:
BBB Auto Line
Council of Better Business Bureaus, Inc.
4200 Wilson Blvd.
Arlington, VA 22203
1 (800) 955-5100
If you call the BBB, its staff will take down details of
your complaint by telephone. They will ask for the same
information as described in Step 2.
The BBB AUTO LINE program consists of two parts,
mediation and arbitration. The BBB will attempt to
assist you to resolve the problem during mediation. If
a satisfactory resolution has not been achieved during
mediation, you will have the opportunity to personally
present your case before an impartial arbitrator or three-
person panel. The arbitrator(s) will make a decision after
the arbitration hearing.NISSAN CARES...
Both Nissan and your Nissan dealer are dedicated to serving

If, however, a situation arises that you believe has not been
addressed to your satisfaction, we ask that you take the
following steps:
STEP 1:

problem still exists, contact the dealership’s Consumer
Affairs Manager or owner. They are best equipped to
resolve the matter for you.
STEP 2:
If the concern has still not been addressed to your
satisfaction, please contact our (Nissan’s) Consumer Affairs
Department using our toll free number:
The Consumer Affairs Department will ask for the following
information:
Your name, address, and telephone number
Vehicle identifi cation number (on dashboard)

3NISSAN’S COMMITMENT TO CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
ASSISTANCE OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY
In our continuing effort to convey our commitment
to service and customer satisfaction, Nissan may
occasionally offer to pay or reimburse for part or all of
the cost of making certain, specifi c repairs beyond or
outside of the terms of the warranty for some specifi c
vehicle models. (Some states refer to such programs as
“adjustment programs”) . In such circumstances Nissan
mails notices to all known registered owners of affected
vehicles. You may additionally inquire of your authorized
Nissan Dealer or of Nissan directly at the number listed
below of the applicability of such programs to your
vehicle.
Please also review the
"Supplement to the
2008 Nissan Warranty
Information Booklet &
2008 Nissan Owner's
Manual" for important
information concerning
consumer rights in your
state.
Nissan may occasionally offer special assistance that may
pay for part or all of vehicle repairs beyond the expiration
of the limited warranty period on a case by case basis.
Should you experience unusual diffi culties with your vehicle
please discuss the situation with your dealer. If your dealer
is unable to assist you, you may call the Nissan Consumer
Affairs Department at 1-800-NISSAN-1 to discuss your
concern. You will need to provide the Model, Model Year,
VIN (Vehicle Identifi cation Number) , mileage, maintenance
history, a detailed explanation of the concern, and why you
believe that Nissan should be responsible for the repair.
Your request will be individually investigated and you will
be informed of Nissan’s decision.
