Roadside Assistance
Nissan Altima Hybrid roadside assistance may be handled like conventional Nissan vehicles, except as noted
in the following pages.
Towing
The Altima Hybrid is a front wheel drive vehicle and it must be towed with the front wheels off the ground.
Failure to do so may cause serious damage to the hybrid system components.
• A flat bed trailer is the preferred method of towing.
• When towing the vehicle, be sure to release the parking brake.
• The vehicle may be shifted out of P (Park) into N (Neutral) by turning the ignition ON, depressing the
brake, and then moving the shift lever to N (Neutral).
• If the shift lever cannot be moved out of P (Park), a shift release button is provided near the shift lever.
To use the shift release button, perform the following:
a. Remove the shift lock cover as shown.
b. Insert a small screwdriver in the shift lock release slot and
push down.
c. Move the shift lever to the N (Neutral) position while holding
down the release button.
Fuel-Filler Door Opener
The fuel-filler door release is located on the floor to the left of the
driver’s seat. To open the fuel filler door, pull upward on the release
lever. There may be a delay up to 15 seconds before the fuel-filler
door opens.
