ToggleNissan Altima 2021
The Nissan Altima 2021 was introduced as the latest iteration of the mid-size sedan offered by Nissan. The 2021 Altima brought several updates and enhancements compared to its predecessors. Here are some key features and improvements:
- Design: The 2021 Altima features a sleek and sporty exterior design with a bold V-Motion front grille, sharp LED headlights, and available 19-inch alloy wheels. It presents a more modern and refined look.
- Engine Options: The 2021 Altima offers two engine choices. The standard engine is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, delivering a balance of performance and efficiency. Additionally, there’s an available 2.0-liter variable compression turbocharged four-cylinder engine, known as VC-Turbo, providing enhanced power and fuel efficiency.
- Technology: The Altima comes equipped with a range of technology features, including an available 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, Bluetooth connectivity, and available NissanConnect services. It also offers optional features such as a Bose premium audio system and a digital instrument cluster.
- Safety: The 2021 Altima prioritizes safety with its suite of advanced safety features known as Nissan Safety Shield 360. This suite includes Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Blind Spot Warning, Lane Departure Warning, and High Beam Assist.
- All-Wheel Drive: The 2021 Altima offers the option of Intelligent All-Wheel Drive (AWD), providing enhanced traction and stability in various weather conditions.
These are just a few highlights of the Nissan Altima 2021 model. For more specific details and to explore the available trim levels and options, I recommend visiting Nissan’s official website or contacting a Nissan dealership for the most accurate and comprehensive information.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT
THIS MANUAL
You will see various symbols in this manual. They are used in the following ways:
WARNING
This is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that could cause death or serious personal injury. To avoid or reduce the risk, the procedures must be followed precisely.
CAUTION
This is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that could cause minor or moderate personal injury or damage to your vehicle. To avoid or reduce the risk, the procedures must be followed carefully.
SEATS!
WARNING
- Do not ride in a moving vehicle when the seatback is reclined. This can be dangerous. The shoulder belt will not be against your body. In an accident, you could be thrown into it and re-ceive neck or other serious injuries. You could also slide under the lap belt and receive serious internal injuries.
- For the most effective protection when the vehicle is in motion, the seat should be upright. Always sit well back and upright in the seat with both feet on the floor and adjust the seat properly. For additional information, see “Precautions on seat belt usage” (P. 1-12).
- After adjustment, gently rock in the seat to make sure it is securely locked.
- Do not leave children unattended inside the vehicle. They could unknowingly activate switches or controls or make the vehicle move. Unattended children could become involved in serious accidents.
- To help avoid risk of injury or death through the unintended operation of the vehicle and/or its systems, do not leave children, people who require the assistance of others or pets unattended in your vehicle. Additionally, the temperature inside a closed vehicle on a warm day can quickly become high enough to cause a significant risk of injury or death to people and pets.
- Do not adjust the driver’s seat while driving so full attention may be given to vehicle operation. The seat may move suddenly and could cause loss of control of the vehicle.
- The seatback should not be reclined any more than needed for comfort. Seat belts are most effective when the passenger sits well back and straight up in the seat. If the seatback is reclined, the risk of sliding under the lap belt and being injured is increased.
CAUTION
When adjusting the seat positions, be sure not to contact any moving parts to avoid possible injuries and/or damage.

The reclining feature allows adjustment of the seatback for occupants of different sizes for added comfort and to help obtain proper seat belt fit.

Operating tips
WARNING
Before driving the vehicle, return the seatback to an upright seating position after manually releasing it. Also, make sure the seat is locked in place. Failure to do so may cause the seat to move in a collision or sudden stop. This may result in damage to the seat or personal injury.
- The power seat motor has an auto-reset overload protection circuit. If the motor stops during operation, wait 30 seconds then reactivate the switch.
- Do not operate the power seat switch for a long period of time when the engine is off. This will discharge the battery.
