This transmission hasahigh fluidtemperature protec-
tion mode. Ifthe fluid temperature becomestoohigh
(for example, whenclimbing steepgrades inhigh
temperature withheavy loads, suchaswhen towing a
trailer) ,engine powerand,under someconditions,
vehicle speedwillbedecreased automatically to
reduce thechance oftransmission damage.Vehicle
speed canbecontrolled withtheaccelerator pedal,
but engine andvehicle speedmaybelimited.
Fail-safe
GUID-4C5CA0 11-BE46-48EA-A16F-D6 F3A9BF72B8
When thefail-safe operation occurs,theCVT willnot
be shifted tothe selected drivingposition.
If the vehicle isdriven underextreme conditions,
such asexcessive wheelspinning andsubse-
quent hardbraking, thefail-safe systemmaybe
activated. Thiswilloccur evenifall electrical
circuits arefunctioning properly.Inthis case,
place theignition switchinthe ªOFFº position
and wait for10seconds. Thenturntheignition
switch backtothe ªONº position. Thevehicle
should returntoits normal operating condition.
If itdoes notreturn toits normal operating
condition, haveaNISSAN dealercheckthe
transmission andrepair itifnecessary.
WARNING:
When thefail-safe operation occurs,vehicle
speed maybegradually reduced.Thereduced
speed maybelower thanother traffic,which
could increase thechance ofacollision. Be
especially carefulwhendriving. Ifnecessary, pull
to the side ofthe road atasafe place andallow

accidental injurytoyourself ordamage tothe vehicle.
The following aregeneral precautions whichshould be
closely observed.
WARNING:
. Park thevehicle onalevel surface, applythe
parking brakesecurely andblock thewheels
to prevent thevehicle frommoving. Move
the shift lever tothe ªPº(Park) position (CVT
model) orthe shift lever tothe ªNº(Neutral)
position (MTmodel) . .
Besure theignition switchisin the ªOFFº or
ªLOCKº position whenperforming anyparts
replacement orrepairs.
. Do not work under thehood while the
engine ishot. Always turnoffthe engine
and wait until itcools down.
. Ifyou must workwiththeengine running,
keep yourhands, clothing, hairandtools
away frommoving fans,belts andanyother
moving parts.
. Itis advisable tosecure orremove anyloose
clothing andanyjewelry, suchasrings,
watches, etc.before working onyour vehi-

. Ifyou must runtheengine inan enclosed
space suchasagarage, besure there is
proper ventilation forexhaust gasesto
escape.
. Never getunder thevehicle whileitis
supported byajack.
. Keep smoking materials, flameandsparks
away fromfuelandthebattery.
. Never connect ordisconnect eitherthe
battery orany transistorized component
connector whiletheignition switchisin the
ªONº position.
. Ongasoline enginemodels withtheMulti-
port Fuel Injection (MFI)system, thefuel
filter andfuel lines should beserviced bya
NISSAN dealerbecause thefuel lines are
under highpressure evenwhen theengine is
turned off.
. Your vehicle isequipped withanautomatic
engine cooling fan.Itmay come onatany
time without warning, evenifthe ignition switch
isin the ªOFFº position andthe
engine isnot running. To avoid injury, always
