My Verizon LG Dare works perfectly with the Altima Hybrid.

I've had my charge level both above 3/4 and below 1/4. If you don't have any mountial passes around, it's doubtful you'll get the charge meter above 3/4. On a trip to Lake Tahoe a few weeks ago, we had a long windy downhill that I was able to just coast down. Lots of charging going on and the meter maxed out at the high side. We reached the bottom of the hill and had to stop at a light. When the light turned green, I was able to accelerate faster than normal while keeping it in EV mode. It was so nice, felt natural to get up and go without babying the gas pedal. Of course the meter dropped to 3/4ths range fairly quickly and it was back to normal.
 
As far ad the meter going below 1/4, that's easy. Just sit in line at a long drive-thru line with the AC running and after a while the battery will get to the bottom of the blue range and the gas engine will kick on to run the accessories and charge the battery.
 
These are obviously not normal conditions. Normal driving the meter is always between 1/4-3/4.

electric windows by stevenwdunn

Twice now I've come back to the car and found the two front windows rolled slightly down. Car was locked. Yesterday, came back and found the two windows rolled almost all of the way down. Right and left windows at the same level. Car is a 2008 with 6,000 miles on it. Will talk to dealer next week, but in the meantime...I'm wondering?

Hi Steve,
 
If you hold the unlock button on the key fob for about 3 to 5 seconds, both windows will go down equally. If you stop as soon as they start to go down, they stop at that point. Mine doesn't work if I'm in the car. It only does this outside of the car.
 
You must have leaned on your fob while it was in your pocket or you unlocked your car and held the unlock button too long. I have accidentally set my alarm off with the fob in my pocket late at night. Boy! Talk about scrambling to find my key to stop the alarm before all the neighbors woke up.
 
Hope this helps.

How very odd! Yes, it worked just as you said it would. But what is odd is the fact that the car is still 'locked' and the windows are down. You would think that the initial 'unlock' signal would remain in effect...
 
Thanks!

About once a week, the alarm goes off from my car in the driveway -- apparently the remote in my pocket hit something & set it off. More upsetting than that, however is that we were at a restaurant the other day & the truck was wide open. Second time that has happened & surely because of the remote getting pushed against something. I keep my laptop & camera in the truck -- good thing nothing was stolen.

Not charging going down hill or in 'B' gear. by rruzicka

When I first bought my hybrid (about 6 months ago), the hybrid battery would charge rather rapidly when I would coast down hill in 'B' gear or not, without applying the brakes. Now I get no charge whatsoever go down hill in 'B' or not, unless I apply the brakes. Plus my avg gas millage has gone from 35 to 32 mpg. Anyone else experiencing this?

Was your battery already fully charged or nearly fully charged? Could it be that your battery was already maxed out when you were going downhill?
 
Lots of things can affect your average mileage. Have you checked your tire pressure recently?
