The Altima Hybrid was Nissan's first
hybrid car, first introduced in February 2007 and discontinued in the 2011 model year. In the U.S. it was only available in 10 states that followed California's strict energy laws, as well as in Canada. There is no on board programming procedure for the keyless entry remote fob smart key for the Nissan Altima Hybrid, therefore special equipment is required in order to program the keyless entry remote fob smart key.
