Replying to: pego99 (Jul 18, 2008 9:35 am) The following are the correct procedures to jump start a Nisson Altima Hybrid 2007-2008 as outlined in a recently released Hybrid Vehicle Jump Start Towing Guide available at the hybridhazards(dot)info website. Hope this information helps you out.   Jump Starting the low voltage battery. If the instrument cluster lights are DIM, the 12 volt auxiliary battery can be jump started. The battery is located in the trunk on the passenger’s side under a cover. Use the following Jump Start procedure. 1.Connect the 12 volt Positive (+) booster cable to the 12 volt battery Positive (+) terminal in trunk of the Altima. Connect the other end of the booster cable to the 12 volt Positive (+) terminal of the booster battery. 2.Connect the Negative (-) booster cable to the battery Negative (-) terminal in trunk of the Altima. Connect the other end of the negative (-) booster cable to a good clean metal ground on the booster vehicle’s engine compartment away from the battery. 3.Start the booster vehicle and allow it to run for a few minutes. Make sure all accessories on both vehicles are off. 4.Hold the brake firmly, press the start button and look for the ready light. Once vehicle starts leave vehicle in park - disconnect the negative cable first then remainder of cable disconnects. Jump Starting the HV BatteryIf the high voltage battery is low you can try to start the vehicle using the following steps, making sure first that the vehicle is not out of gas. 1. Confirm that the instrument cluster lights are BRIGHT and vehicle is in Park. 2. Press the start button to ACC. Mode. 3. Press and hold the start button for 15 seconds. If the vehicle starts this way you should have it checked by your dealer.   Please be careful anytime you are working around Hybrid Vehicle battery terminals.   Stay Safe!   Pat

re: "Connect the 12 volt Positive (+) booster cable to the 12 volt battery Positive (+) terminal in trunk of the Altima."   Huh? Aren't there posts under the hood that are the preferred location to connect the cables to? Replies to this message: tomscot2 (Nov 03, 2008 10:09 am)

Replying to: cephraim (Nov 03, 2008 5:42 am) The owners manual is very detailed instructions on how to Jump Start the 12v battery. They recommend using the remote positive battery terminal inside the fusible link box under the hood.   That is how I jump started mine the one time I needed to do it.   The manual is available on the NissanUSA.com website if you need a pdf version.
