The Hybrid System combines the power of a
gasolineengine andanelectric motorto minimize
fuel consumption and emissions.
Dependingondrivingconditions,thevehicleruns
on a combination of the gasoline engine and the
electric motor,whichever is bestfor those condi-
tions.
Because the gasoline engine charges the high
voltage battery as needed, the battery does not
havetobechargedfromanoutsidesourcelikean
all-electric vehicle.
WARNING
Your vehicle contains a sealed Nickel-
Metal hydride high voltage battery. If dis-
posed ofimproperly, it is hazardousto the
environment and there is a risk of severe
burns and electrical shock that may result
in serious injury or death.
The high voltage battery is used to drive the
electric motors in the Hybrid System.
The highvoltage battery has alimited service life.
Contact your NISSAN dealer for information
about recycling or disposal of the battery.
