tion like traditional automatic transmissions.

range. TheB(Brake) rangecanincrease engine
braking that can be used on long downhill descents.
It can also increase the rate of high voltage battery
charging for short periods of time.

will be applied.
 When driving in heavy traffic, operate the vehicle in
the D(Drive) position toprevent thehigh voltage
battery from being discharged.
 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 eCVT.
