NISSAN 2010 Altima Hybrid - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 302)

DRINKING ALCOHOL/DRUGS AND
DRIVING
WARNING
Never drive under the influence of alcohol
or drugs. Alcohol in the bloodstream re-
duces coordination, delays reaction time
and
impairs judgement. Driving after
drinking alcohol increases the likelihood
of being involved in an accident injuring
yourself and others. Additionally, if you
are injured in an accident, alcohol can
increase the severity of the injury.
NISSAN is committed to safe driving. However,
you must choose not to drive under the influence
of alcohol. Every year thousands of people are
injured or killed in alcohol-related accidents. Al-
though the local laws vary on what is considered
to be legally intoxicated, the fact is that alcohol
affects all people differently and most people
underestimate the effects of alcohol.
Remember, drinking and driving don’t mix! And
that is true for drugs, too (over-the-counter, pre-
scription, and illegal drugs). Don’t drive if your
ability to operate your vehicle is impaired by alco-
hol, drugs, or some other physical condition.
WARNING
Do not operate the push-button ignition
switch while driving the vehicle except in
an emergency. (The Hybrid System will
turn off when the ignition switch is pushed
3 consecutive times in quick succession
or the ignition switch is pushed and held
for more than 2 seconds.) If the Hybrid
System turns off while the vehicle is being
driven, this could lead to a crash and seri-
ous injury.
When the ignition switch is pushed without de-
pressing the brake pedal, the ignition switch po-
sition will illuminate as follows:
With the shift selector in the P (Park) position
push the switch
● once to change to ACC.
● two times to change to ON.
● three times to return to off.
If the ignition switch was repeatedly pushed on
and off over a short period of time, the start
function may not work properly. Wait 20 seconds
then restart the Hybrid System.
