EXHAUST GAS(carbon monoxide)
GUID-FF41 5DD8-A3E6-4538-B5 50-ED73193BFA0D
WARNING:
. Do not breathe exhaust gas;itcontains
colorless andodorless carbonmonoxide.
Carbon monoxide isdangerous. Itcan cause
unconsciousness ordeath.
. Ifyou suspect thatexhaust fumesare
entering thevehicle, drivewithallwindows
fully open, andhave thevehicle inspected
immediately.
. Donot run theengine inclosed spaces such
as agarage.
. Do not park thevehicle withtheengine
running foranextended periodoftime.
. Keep theback doorclosed whiledriving,
otherwise exhaustgascould bedrawn into
the passenger compartment. Ifyou must
drive withtheback dooropen, follow these
precautions:
Ð Open allthe windows.
Ð Turn theairrecirculation modeoffand
set the fanspeed control tothe highest
level tocirculate theair.
. Ifaspecial bodyorother equipment is
added forrecreational orother usage, follow
the manufacturer's recommendation topre-
vent carbon monoxide entryintothevehicle.
(Some recreational vehicleappliances such
as stoves, refrigerators, heaters,etc.may
also generate carbonmonoxide.)
. The exhaust systemandbody should be
inspected byaqualified mechanic whenever: Ð
Your vehicle israised whilebeing ser-
viced.
Ð You suspect thatexhaust fumesare
entering intothepassenger compart-
ment.
Ð You notice achange inthe sound ofthe
exhaust system.
Ð You have hadanaccident involving
damage tothe exhaust system,under-
body, orrear ofthe vehicle.

WARNING:
. The exhaust gasand theexhaust systemare
very hot.Keep people, animals andflam-
mable materials awayfromtheexhaust
system components.
. Do not stop orpark thevehicle over
flammable materialssuchasdry grass,
wastepaper orrags. Theymayignite and
cause afire.
The three-way catalystisan emission controldevice
installed inthe exhaust system.Exhaust gasinthe
three-way catalystisburned athigh temperatures to
help reduce pollutants.
CAUTION:
. Donot use leaded gasoline. (SeeªRecom-
mended fluids/lubricants andcapacitiesº
(P .9-2) .)Deposits fromleaded gasoline ser-
iously reduce theability ofthe three-way
catalyst tohelp reduce exhaust pollutants
and/or damage thethree-way catalyst. .
Keep yourengine tunedup.Malfunctions in
the ignition, fuelinjection, orelectrical
systems maycause overrich fueltoflow into
the three-way catalyst,causingitto over-
heat. Donot keep driving ifthe engine
misfires, orifnoticeable lossofperformance
or other unusual operating conditions are
detected. Havethevehicle inspected
promptly byaNISSAN dealer.
. Avoid driving withanextremely lowfuel
level. Running outoffuel could cause the
engine tomisfire, damaging thethree-way
catalyst.
. Donot race theengine whilewarming itup.
. Donot push ortow your vehicle tostart the
engine.

power andsmooth operation.
The recommended operatingprocedures forthis
transmission areshown onthe following pages.Follow
these procedures formaximum vehicleperformance
and driving enjoyment.
WARNING:
Do not downshift abruptlyonslippery roads.
This maycause aloss ofcontrol.
CAUTION:
. The cold engine idlespeed ishigh, souse
caution whenshifting thetransmission into
a forward orreverse position beforethe
engine haswarmed up.
. Avoid revving upthe engine whilethe
vehicle isstopped. Thiscould cause unex-
pected vehicle movement.
. Never shifttoeither theªPº (Park) orªRº
(Reverse) positionwhilethevehicle ismov-
ing. This could cause serious damage tothe
transmission.
. Except inan emergency, donot shift tothe
ªNº (Neutral) positionwhiledriving. Coast-
ing with thetransmission inthe ªNº (Neutral)
position maycause serious damage tothe
transmission.
. Start theengine ineither theªPº (Park) or
ªNº (Neutral) position.Theengine willnot
start inany other position. Ifitdoes, have your
vehicle checked byaNISSAN dealer.
. Shift intotheªPº (Park) position andapply
the parking brakewhenatastandstill for
longer thanashort waiting period.
. Keep theengine atidling speed while
shifting fromtheªNº (Neutral) positionto
any driving position.
. When stopping thevehicle onanuphill
grade, donot hold thevehicle bydepressing
the accelerator pedal.Thefoot brake pedal
should bedepressed inthis situation.

If the battery charge islow ordischarged, theshift
lever maynotbemoved fromtheªPº (Park) position
even withthebrake pedal depressed andtheshift lever
button pushed.
T o move theshift lever, perform thefollowing
procedure:
1. Models withIntelligent Keysystem:
Place theignition switchinthe ªOFFº orªLOCKº
position.
Models without Intelligent Keysystem:
Place theignition switchinthe ªLOCKº position,
and remove thekey ifit is inserted. 2.
Apply theparking brake.
3. Push theshift lever button andmove theshift lever
to the ªNº (Neutral) positionwhileholding down

desired location.
For model withIntelligent Key system: Ifthe battery is
discharged completely,the steering wheelcannot be
unlocked. Donot move thevehicle withthesteering
wheel locked.
If the shift lever cannot bemoved outofthe ªPº (Park)
position, haveaNISSAN dealerchecktheCVT system
as soon aspossible.
WARNING:
If the shift lever cannot bemoved fromtheªPº

may notwork. Malfunctioning stoplights could
cause anaccident injuringyourself andothers.
High fluidtemperature protectionmode
GUID-92F6 203D-4431 -412E-BD73-BE0106E 26143
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
the transmission toreturn tonormal operation,
or have itrepaired ifnecessary.
