Manual Transmission (MT)model:
Move theshift lever tothe ªNº (Neutral) position.
2. Firmly depress thebrake pedal.
3. Touch theignition switchwiththeIntelligent Key
as illustrated. (Achime willsound.)
4. Push theignition switchwhiledepressing the
brake pedal (Continuously Variable Transmission
models) orclutch pedal(Manual Transmission

If the vehicle isdriven underextreme conditions,
such asexcessive wheelspinning andsubse-

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

WARNING:
When thefail-safe operation occurs,vehicle
speed maybegradually reduced.Thereduced
