#87 of 95 Not charging going down hill or in 'B' gear. by rruzicka Mar 07, 2009 (4:04 pm)
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?

Replying to: rruzicka (Mar 07, 2009 4:04 pm) 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?

Replying to: rruzicka (Mar 07, 2009 4:04 pm) Nothing wr4ong with 32 mpg if in cold weather area with winter fuel. Mine went down from 34 - 35 to as low as 30 the past few months.
#90 of 95 Unlock ALL door at once? by stevehybrid Mar 29, 2009 (8:38 pm)
I was able to re-program ther door lock system on my wife's Prius (yes, we are a two hybrid household) so that one push of the outside door button unlocks all four doors at once rather than mutiple button pushes to accomplish same.   Does anyone know how to do this for the NAH?   Thanks,   Steve

Replying to: occking (Jul 08, 2008 5:12 pm) I took our 07 NAH in for its 30K service yesterday and asked again to fix the volume. When I picked the car up the note on the service report was "is not adjustable." I insisted that it was and told them about the fixes posted here. The service advisor sent a mechanic to try to find the procedure and guess what: he found it, but didn't know it. After I played with it a little, I found the adjustment myself.   The adjustment on the 07 NAH with NAV is a Low, Medium, High. It was set on Medium so I set it to high. My preliminary finding is that it is better, but the real test will come when my wife, the primary driver, uses it on the freeway.   I have attached the instruction page. 07NAH-BluetoothVolumeAdjustment   OPERATION PROCEDURE 1. Turn the ignition ON. 2. Turn the audio system off. 3. While pressing the "SETUP" button, turn the volume control dial clockwise or counterclockwise for 30 clicks or more.( When the   self-diagnos mode is started, a short beep will be heard.)   Once you have the opening screen: 1. Press CONFIRMATION/ADJUSTMENT 2. Press Down Arrow 3. Handsfee Phone 4. Press Handsfree volume Adjustment 5. Press Low, Medium or High 6. Press Back and turn off the ON/OFF switch.   The dealers have also been advised that if there is a lot of noise on the callees end to turn down the volume (on the radio) on the phone call which will improve noise canceling.   You can then try it. I hope it works for you.
#92 of 95 engine rev by charleyhorse Aug 21, 2009 (12:41 pm)
Hello, I am about to sign for a 2009 NAH. Before I do I need to clear up one consern. I have read 2 posts on Edmonds and several on another site complaining about engine revving associated with EV/Gas switching or when battery is low. How prevelant is this problem and does Nissan have this bug figured out?   Thank you, CharleyHorse Replies to this message: langjie (Aug 21, 2009 12:53 pm) stevenwdunn (Aug 30, 2009 3:57 pm)

Replying to: charleyhorse (Aug 21, 2009 12:41 pm) I think it's happened to a few cars. I personally never had that problem after 36,000 miles
