Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Place the ignition switch in the “OFF” position.
Models without Intelligent Key system:
Place the ignition switch in the LOCK position.
P (Park):
Use this position when the vehicle is parked or when
starting the engine. Make sure that the vehicle is
completely stopped and move the selector lever
into the P (Park) position. Apply the handbrake.
When parking on a hill, first depress the footbrake
pedal, apply the handbrake, and then move the se-
lector lever into the P (Park) position.
R (Reverse):
Use this position to reverse. Make sure that the
vehicle is completely stopped before selecting the R
(Reverse) position.
When the selector lever is in the R (Reverse) posi-
tion, either the NISSAN Connect monitor (where fit-
ted) or the ultra sonic parking sensor (where fitted)
will be activated. For details, see “Rear-view moni-
tor (where fitted)” or “Around view monitor (where
fitted)” earlier in this section or “Ultrasonic Parking
Sensor (where fitted)” later in this section
N (Neutral):
Neither the forward nor reverse gear is engaged.
The engine can be started in this position. You may
shift to the N (Neutral) position and restart a stalled
engine while the vehicle is moving.
D (Drive):
Use this position for all normal forward driving. L (Low):
Use this position when climbing steep hills slowly or
driving slowly through deep snow, sand or mud, or
for maximum engine braking on steep downhill
grades.
SPORT mode switch
To select the SPORT mode, push the SPORT mode
switch with the selector lever in the D (Drive) posi-
tion. The SPORT mode indicator light
in the
meter panel illuminates. To turn off the SPORT
mode, push the SPORT mode switch again. The
SPORT mode indicator light will turn off. When the
selector lever is shifted to any position other than D,
the SPORT mode will be automatically turned off.
OFF position:
For normal driving and fuel economy, use the OFF
position. ON position:
For driving up or down long slopes where engine
braking is necessary, or for powerful acceleration,
use the ON position. The transmission will automati-
cally select a different gear ratio, allowing the en-
gine to provide high output.
When driving conditions change, push the switch to
turn the SPORT mode off.
Remember not to drive at high speeds for extended
periods of time with the SPORT mode in the ON
position. This reduces fuel economy.
Accelerator downshift
- in the D position -
For passing or climbing hills, depress the accelera-
tor pedal to the floor. This shifts the transmission
down into a lower gear, depending on the vehicle
speed.NSD399

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine TEMPORARY-USE SPARE TYRE
The temporary-use spare tyre is designed for emer-
gency use only. This spare tyre should be used
ONLY for very short periods and NEVER be used
for long drives or extended periods.
Observe the following precautions if the temporary-
use spare tyre must be used, otherwise your vehicle
could be damaged or involved in an accident.
WARNING
Any continuous road use of this tyre could result
in tyre failure, loss of vehicle control, and pos-
sible personal injury.
CAUTION
The temporary-use spare tyre should be used
only in emergencies. It should be replaced by
the standard tyre at the first opportunity.
Drive carefully and do not drive your vehicle
faster than 80 km/h (50 MPH).
Avoid driving over obstacles. Also, do not take
the vehicle through an automatic car wash.
Avoid driving sharp turns and abrupt braking.
Do not exceed the vehicle’s maximum load
rating or the load-carrying capacity molded
on the sidewall of the temporary-use spare
tyre.
Do not use a snow chain on this tyre because
it will not fit properly. This could cause dam-
age to the vehicle and result in loss of the
chain.
Do not use the temporary-use spare tyre on
any other vehicle because this tyre has been
designed specifically for your vehicle.
The vehicle must not be driven with more than
one temporary-use spare tyre at the same
time.
Do not tow a trailer.
As with all tyres, the temporary-use spare tyre
must be checked regularly to ensure pres-
sure is maintained.
For pressure details, see the tyre placard lo-
cated on the driver’s side centre pillar. In case of a flat tyre, follow the instructions as de-
scribed below:
STOPPING THE VEHICLE
WARNING
Make sure that the handbrake is securely ap-
plied.

sure the gear lever is in the R (Reverse) posi-
tion.
For Automatic Transmission (AT) or Continu-
ously Variable Transmission (CVT) models:
Make sure that the selector lever is in the P
(Park) position.
Never change tyres when the vehicle is on a
slope, ice or a slippery area. This is hazard-
ous.
Never change tyres if oncoming traffic is close
to your vehicle. Wait for professional road as-
sistance.
1. Safely move the vehicle off the road, away from traffic.
2. Switch on the hazard warning flashers.
3. Park on a level surface.
4. Apply the handbrake.
5. Shift the gear lever (MT models) into the R (Re- verse) position [AT or CVT models, move the
selector lever to the P (Park) position].

PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT
NISSAN GREEN PROGRAM
It is illegal to pollute drains, water courses and soil.
Use authorised waste collection facilities, including
civic amenity sites and garages providing facilities
for the disposal of used oil and used oil filters. If in
doubt, contact your local authority for advice on dis-
posal.
The regulations concerning the pollution of the
environment will vary from country to country.
DRAINING WATER
Drain the water from the fuel filter:
– Every time you perform an engine oil change.
– When the water in fuel filter warning light
(orange) comes on or flashes irregularly.
Except for models with R9M diesel engine.
Proceed as follows:
1. Connect a suitable drain hose
j1 to the drain
plugj2.
2. Place a drain pan
j3 under the hosej1.
3. Loosen manually the drain plug
j2 with4to5
turns and operate the priming pumpj4 to drain
the water out of the fuel filter.
CAUTION
The water from the fuel filter is drained
with fuel. Prepare a larger capacity pan
than the volume of the fuel filter.
Drained water is mixed with fuel and take
precautions to prevent the fuel from ad-
hering to rubber parts such as engine
mounting insulator.
4. After draining, close the drain plug manually. CAUTION
If the drain plug is tightened excessively, it
can be damaged and as a result, fuel will
leak.
Do not use tools to tighten the drain plug.
5. Bleed air from the fuel system. For details, see “Bleeding the fuel system” later in this section.
6. Start the engine and make sure there is no fuel leakage. Correct as required.
For models with R9M diesel engine
Contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
