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.

eneRGy/fue L HiSTOR y MOde
The energy/ fuel History can be displayed on the
navigation system monitor. 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.

01 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.

02 fuel consumption in the past 30 minutes: fuel consumption in the past 30 minutes is
displayed.

03 c
urrent fuel consumption (“Latest” column): The current fuel consumption is calculated
and displayed based on distance and fuel consumption.
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 O n position, the low temperature
indicator light will illuminate. The light will turn off after the engine coolant has

HOW TO SAy nuMBeRS
The system provides two commands for entering and dialing a phone number: “ diAL” and
“inTe RnATi OnAL c ALL.” The “diAL” command is used for domestic phone numbers up to
10-digits in length, starting with the area code. The “inTe RnATi OnAL c ALL” command is used
when more than 10-digits need to be dialed or when special characters are required, such as: *,
# or +. When using these two commands, please follow the phone digit speaking rul\
es below:

Only single digits 0 (zero) to 9 (nine) can be spoken.

When saying the phone number 800-662-6200, the system will accept “eight hundred” in
addition to “eight zero zero” or “eight oh oh.” 500, 700 and 900 are also supported.

The long-distance calling prefix “1” is not required when making a call.
“diAL” c OMMAnd O nLy
y ou can say all the digits of a 7- or 10-digit phone number at one time.

f or a 10-digit number, saying the phone number in groups of 3, 3 and 4 digits may improve
recognition for some speakers. To use this group dialing method, say only the first 3 digits of
the phone number. After the system recognizes the number, it will request the next 3 digits
and finally the last 4 digits.

i f a phone number is incorrectly recognized, you can try entering the phone number again
using the 3-3-4 group dialing procedure by saying, “c HAnGe nu MBeR.”
“inTe RnATi OnAL c ALL” c OMMAnd O nLy
y ou can say the entire phone number at once or in groups of any digit length.

f or *, # and +, say “STAR, ” “POund” or “PLuS,” respectively.
NISSAN VOICE RECOGNITION SYSTEM (vehicles with navigation -
if so equipped)
Voice Recognition allows hands-free
operation of the phone, navigation, vehicle
information and audio systems as a default

your desired operation by following the
instructional prompts given by the system.
The system will indicate when you can
speak a command by sounding a tone.
When the ignition switch is placed in the O n position, niSSAn Voice Recognition is initialized,
which takes a few seconds. When completed, the system is ready to accept voice commands.
To use voice recognition, push the
(TALk) switch located on the steering wheel. if you press
the
switch before the system is ready the display will show the message, “System not ready.”
After pushing the
switch, the system responds with, “Would you like to access Phone, navigation,

Before Starting
To get the best possible performance out of the Voice Recognition system, observe the following:

The interior of the vehicle should be as quiet as possible. close the windows to minimize the
surrounding noises.

Wait until the tone sounds before speaking a command.

Speak in a natural conversational voice with minimal pauses between words.

if you want to repeat a step or if the system incorrectly recognizes your command, push the

switch on the steering wheel or select the “
BA
ck” key on the display.

if the system does not recognize your command, please repeat the command \
again.

system prompts you to do so. Speaking too slowly reduces recognition acc\
uracy.

To give commands quickly, press the
switch to interrupt the voice guidance.
