If it is difficult to move the gear lever into R (Re-
verse) or 1st. Shift into N (Neutral), then release the
clutch pedal. Fully depress the clutch pedal again
and shift into R (Reverse) or 1st.
DRIVING WITH AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION OR WITH
CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE
TRANSMISSION (Models with manual
shift)
CAUTION
The cold engine idle speed is high, so use
caution when shifting into a forward or re-
verse gear before the engine has warmed up.
Avoid revving up the engine while the vehicle
is stopped. This could cause unexpected ve-
hicle movement.
Driving precautions
Never shift to P (Park) or R (Reverse) while
the vehicle is moving, this could result in dam-
age to the transmission.
Start the engine in the P (Park) or N (Neutral)
position. The engine will not start in any otherselector position. If it does, have your vehicle
checked by a NISSAN dealer or qualified
workshop.
Do not depress the accelerator pedal while
shifting from P (Park) or N (Neutral) to R (Re-
verse), D (Drive) or Manual shift modes posi-
tion. Always depress the brake pedal until
shifting is completed.
On an uphill grade, do not hold the vehicle by
depressing the accelerator pedal. The foot-
brake should be used for this purpose, in or-
der to hold the vehicle in place and to prevent
overheating of the transmission.
Shift into the N (Neutral) position and apply
the handbrake when at a standstill for longer
than a short waiting period.
Keep the engine at idling speed while shifting
from the N (Neutral) position to any driving
position.
CAUTION (when starting the vehicle):
DEPRESS THE FOOTBRAKE PEDAL
When the engine is running, shifting the se-
lector lever into the R (Reverse), D (Drive) or
Manual shift mode position without depress-
ing the brake pedal causes the vehicle to
move slowly. Be sure the brake pedal is fully
depressed and the vehicle is stopped, before
shifting the selector lever.
BE AWARE OF THE SELECTOR LEVER POSI-
TION Make sure that the selector lever is in the
desired position. Use the D (Drive), or Manual
shift mode to move forwards and the R (Re-
verse) to move backwards. Release the hand-
brake lever and the footbrake pedal, then de-
press the accelerator pedal to start the vehicle
in motion and merge with traffic (avoid abrupt
starting and spinning the wheels).
Avoid revving up the engine while the vehicle
is stopped, this could cause unexpected ve-
hicle movement [if the selector lever is in the
R (Reverse), D (Drive), or Manual shift mode
position] or damage the engine [if the selec-
tor lever is in the N (Neutral) or P (Park) posi-
tion].
WARM THE ENGINE UP
Due to the higher idle speeds when the en-
gine is cold, extra caution must be taken when
shifting the selector lever into the driving po-
sition immediately after starting the engine.
PARKING THE VEHICLE
Depress the footbrake pedal and, once the
vehicle stops, move the selector lever into the
P (Park) position, pull the handbrake lever and
release the footbrake pedal.
Starting the vehicle
1. After starting the engine, fully depress the foot-
brake pedal before shifting the selector lever from
P (Park) to R (Reverse), D (Drive) or Manual shift
mode.
5-14Starting and driving

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Manual shift mode
When the selector lever is shifted from D (Drive) to
the manual shift gate with the vehicle stopped or
while driving, the transmission enters manual shift
mode. Shift range can be selected manually.
In manual shift mode, the selected gear is displayed
on the position indicator in the combination meter.
Shift ranges up or down one by one as follows:
1st⇔2nd ⇔3rd ⇔4th ⇔5th ⇔6th
When shifting up, move the selector lever to the
+ (up) side. (Shifts to higher range).
When shifting down, move the selector lever to
the – (down) side. (Shifts to lower range).
Moving the selector lever rapidly to the same
side twice will shift the ranges in succession.
Use the 1st position when driving slowly on steep
hills, slow driving through deep snow, sand or
mud, or for maximum engine braking on steep
downhill grades.
Use the 2nd, 3rd or 4th position when driving
steep hills or for engine braking on steep down-
hill grades.
Use the 5th position for driving up or down long
slopes.
Use the 6th position for all normal forward driv-
ing. However, you need to shift down the gears
when accelerating or passing another vehicle.
When cancelling manual shift mode, return the
selector lever to the D (Drive) position. The trans-
mission returns to the normal driving mode.
In manual shift mode, the transmission may
not shift to the selected gear under certain
circumstances. This helps maintain driving
performance and reduces the chance of ve-
hicle damage or loss of control.
If the engine is revving up to a hazardous
speed in manual shift mode, the transmission
may shift up automatically. When the vehicle
speed decreases, the transmission automati-
cally shifts down and shifts to 1st gear before
the vehicle comes to a stop.
Accelerator downshift – In the D (Drive)
position
For rapid passing or driving uphill, fully depress the
accelerator pedal to the floor. This shifts the trans-
mission down into a lower gear, depending on the
vehicle speed.
Shift lock release
If the battery is discharged, the selector lever can-
not be moved from the P (Park) position even with
the brake pedal depressed and the ignition switch in
the ON position.
To move the selector lever, remove the cap
j1
(where fitted) then push the shift lock release button
jA with a suitable toolj2 (as illustrated) and press
the selector lever buttonj3 . It is now possible to
move the selector lever to the N (Neutral) position
j4.
For your safety, make sure the handbrake is applied
and the brake pedal is depressed during the opera-
tion.
If there is any problem moving the lever out of the P
(Park) position, have a NISSAN dealer or qualified
workshop to check the automatic transmission sys-
tem as soon as possible.

AT models:
When the fail-safe operation occurs, the AT CHECK
indicator light comes on for 2 seconds and the auto-
matic transmission will be locked in the third gear.
Have a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop check
and repair the transmission.
CVT models:
When the fail-safe operation occurs, the vehicle
speed will be decreased automatically to reduce the
chance of transmission damage. Vehicle speed can
be controlled with the accelerator pedal, but the
engine power may be limited. Have a NISSAN dealer
or qualified workshop check and repair the trans-
mission.
AT or CVT models:
If the vehicle is driven under extreme conditions,
such as excessive wheel spinning and subse-
quent hard braking, the Fail-safe system may be
activated. This will occur even if all electrical cir-
cuits are functioning properly. In this case, turn
the ignition switch “OFF” and wait for 10 sec-
onds. Then turn the key back to the ON position.
The vehicle should return to its normal operating
condition. If it does not return to its normal oper-
ating condition have your NISSAN dealer or quali-
fied workshop check the transmission and have
the transmission repaired by a NISSAN dealer or
qualified workshop, if necessary.WARNING
When the fail safe operation occurs, the vehicle
speed may be lower than other traffic, which
could increase the chance of a collision. Be es-
pecially careful when driving. If necessary, drive
to the side of the road at a safe place and away
from traffic, to allow the transmission to return to
normal operation, or have the transmission re-
paired by a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop,
if necessary.
DRIVING WITH CONTINUOUSLY
VARIABLE TRANSMISSION (CVT)
(Models without manual shift)
The Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) in
your vehicle is electronically controlled to produce
maximum power and smooth operation.
The recommended operating procedures for this
transmission are shown on the following pages. Fol-
low these procedures for maximum vehicle perfor-
mance and driving enjoyment.
WARNING
Do not downshift abruptly on slippery roads. This
may cause a loss of control.
CAUTION
The cold engine idle speed is high, so use
caution when shifting the transmission into a
forward or reverse position before the engine
has warmed up.
Avoid revving up the engine while the vehicle
is stopped. This could cause unexpected ve-
hicle movement.
Never shift to either the P (Park) or R (Re-
verse) position while the vehicle is moving.
This could cause serious damage to the trans-
mission.
Start the engine in either the P (Park) or N
(Neutral) position. The engine will not start in
any other position. If it does, have your ve-
hicle checked by a NISSAN dealer or qualified
workshop.
Shift into the P (Park) position and apply the
handbrake when at a standstill for longer than
a short waiting period.
Keep the engine at idling speed while shifting
from the N (Neutral) position to any driving
position.
When stopping the vehicle on an uphill grade,
do not hold the vehicle by depressing the ac-
celerator pedal. The footbrake pedal should
be depressed in this situation.
Starting vehicle
1. After starting the engine, fully depress the foot- brake pedal before moving the selector lever out

sible.
WARNING
If the selector lever cannot be moved from the P
(Park) position while the engine is running and
the brake pedal is depressed, the stop lights may
not work. Malfunctioning stop lights could cause
an accident injuring yourself and others.
High fluid temperature protection mode
This transmission has a high fluid temperature pro-
tection mode. If the fluid temperature becomes too
high (for example, when climbing steep grades in
high temperature with heavy loads, such as when
towing a trailer), engine power and, under some
conditions, vehicle speed will be decreased auto-
matically to reduce the chance of transmission dam-
age. Vehicle speed can be controlled with the ac-
celerator pedal, but engine and vehicle speed may
be limited.
Fail-safe
When the fail-safe operation occurs, the CVT will
not be shifted to the selected driving position.
If the vehicle is driven under extreme conditions,
such as excessive wheel spinning and subse- quent hard braking, the fail-safe system may be
activated. This will occur even if all electrical cir-
cuits are functioning properly. In this case, place
the ignition switch in the “OFF” position and wait
for 10 seconds. Then turn the ignition switch back
to the ON position. The vehicle should return to
its normal operating condition. If it does not re-
turn to its normal operating condition, have a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop check the
transmission and repair it if necessary.
WARNING
When the fail-safe operation occurs, vehicle
speed may be gradually reduced. The reduced
speed may be lower than other traffic, which
could increase the chance of a collision. Be es-
pecially careful when driving. If necessary, pull to
the side of the road at a safe place and allow the
transmission to return to normal operation, or
have it repaired if necessary.
