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.

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.
