XTRONIC CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE
TRANSMISSION (CVT) ™
 The Xtronic CVT™ does not produce a gear change
sensation like traditional automatic transmissions.
 The transmission in your vehicle requires a special fluid
available only at your NISSAN dealer. No other fluid will
meet the exact requirements of the new Xtronic CVT™.
MANUAL SHIFT MODE
 When the shift selector lever is shifted from D (Drive) to
the manual shift gate, the transmission enters the manual shift mode.
 In the manual shift mode, shift range is displayed on the position indicator in the
meter.
 When shifting up, move the shift selector lever to the + (up) side. (Shifts to higher
range.)
 When shifting down, move the shift selector lever to the - (down) side. (Shifts to
lower range.)
 In manual shift mode, the transmission automatically shifts down to M1 (first) before
the vehicle comes to a stop. When accelerating again, it is necessary to shift to the
desired range.
 When canceling the manual shift mode, return the shift selector lever to the D (Drive)
position. The transmission returns to the normal driving mode.
