Shift lever indicator (where fitted):
The shift lever indicator
jA located in the lower part
of the vehicle information display can help to im-
prove the level of environmentally friendly driving.
Following the shift lever indicator by changing to a
higher (or lower) gear whenever the UP (or DOWN)
arrow is displayed may improve fuel economy
An UP arrow suggests shifting to a higher gear, a
down arrow suggests shifting to a lower gear.
However, the driver remains responsible for decid-
ing the most suitable gear according to actual ve-
hicle, road and traffic conditions.
NOTE
No arrow is displayed is some circumstances in-
cluding:
– The actual gear matches recommended gear
– The vehicle speed is approx. 0 km/hReverse gear:
To reverse with 6–speed manual transmission, pro-
ceed as follows:
1) Stop the vehicle.
2) Move the shift lever into the N (Neutral) position.
3) Pull and hold the shift lever ring
j1 up.
4) Move the shift lever into the R (Reverse) posi-
tion.
5) Release the shift lever ring and safely drive the
vehicle backwards.
The shift lever ring returns to its original position
when the shift lever is moved to the N (Neutral)
position.
When the shift lever is in the R (Reverse) position,
either the NissanConnect monitor (where fitted) or
the ultrasonic parking sensor (where fitted) will be
activated. For details, see “Rear-view monitor
(where fitted)” or “Around View Monitor (where
fitted)” in the “4. Display screen, heater and air con-
ditioner, and audio system” section or “Ultrasonic
Parking Sensors (where fitted)” later in this section.
For details, see “Ultrasonic Parking Sensors (where
fitted)” later in this section.
If it is difficult to move the shift lever into R (Reverse)
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 XTRONIC
TRANSMISSION (CVT)
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.
•Except in an emergency, do not shift to the N
(Neutral) position while driving. Coasting with
the transmission in the N position may cause
serious damage to the transmission.
•Start the engine in the P (Park) or N (Neutral)
position. The engine will not start in any other
shift lever position. If it does, have your ve-
hicle 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.

5-18Starting and driving

P (Park):
Use this position when the vehicle is parked or when
starting the engine. Always make sure that the ve-
hicle is completely stopped before moving the shift
lever into the P (Park) position. For maximum safety,
the footbrake pedal must be depressed before mov-
ing the shift lever into the P (Park) position. Use this
position together with the parking brake. When park-
ing on a hill, first depress the footbrake pedal, apply
the parking brake and then shift into the P (Park)
position.
R (Reverse):
CAUTION
Shift into this position only after the vehicle has
completely stopped.
Use this position to reverse the vehicle.
When the shift lever is in the R (Reverse) position,
either the NissanConnect monitor (where fitted) or
the ultrasonic parking sensor (where fitted) will be
activated. For details, see “Rear-view monitor
(where fitted)” or “Around View Monitor (where
fitted)” in the “4. Display screen, heater and air con-
ditioner, and audio system” section or “Ultrasonic
Parking Sensors (where fitted)” later in this section.
N (Neutral):
Neither forward nor reverse gear is engaged. The
engine can be started in this position. You may shift
to N and restart a stalled engine while driving the
vehicle.D (Drive):
Use this position for all normal forward driving.
Shift lever indicator:
The shift lever indicator
jA located in the lower part
of the vehicle information display shows the current
position of the transmission.
It shows the P,R,N,D modes when the transmission
is in auto mode or the shift position when the trans-
mission is in manual mode.
Ds (Drive Sport) and Manual shift mode
When the shift lever is shifted from D (Drive) to the
manual shift gate with the vehicle stopped or while
driving, the transmission enters Ds (Drive Sport)
mode. Ds mode will provide improved acceleration
response and engine braking. Moving the shift lever
forwards and backwards allows manual shifting.
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⇔7th
•When shifting up, move the shift lever to the +
(up) side. (Shifts to higher range).
•When shifting down, move the shift lever to the
– (down) side. (Shifts to lower range).
•Moving the shift 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
shift lever to the D (Drive) position. The transmis-
sion 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.

5-20Starting and driving

While driving, the Blind Spot Warning (BSW) sys-
tem helps alert the driver to the presence of other
vehicles in adjacent lanes.
The BSW system uses the rear view monitor cam-
era unit
j1.
WARNING
•The BSW system is not a replacement for
proper driving procedure and is not designed
to prevent contact with vehicles or objects.
When driving, always use the side and rear
mirrors and always turn your head and look in
the direction you will move to ensure it is safe
to change lanes. Never rely solely on the BSW
system.
•The camera units may not function properly
under the following conditions:
– When towing a trailer.– When strong light enters the camera unit.
(for example, light directly shines on the
front or rear of the vehicle at sunrise or
sunset.)
– When ambient brightness changes sud-
denly. (for example, when the vehicle en-
ters or exits a tunnel or passes under a
bridge.)
•If the camera lens is excessively dirty, the au-
tomatic washer may not be able to completely
clean the lens. This could result in the camera
not detecting vehicles or lane markers.
•Excessive noise (for example, audio system
volume, open vehicle window) will interfere
with the chime sound, and it may not be heard.
BSW SYSTEM OPERATION
The BSW system operates above approximately 32
km/h (20 MPH).
The BSW light is shown in the vehicle information
display if the Blind Spot Warning system is active.
To switch the system on or off, see the description
later in this section.
When the camera unit detects a vehicle in the de-
tection zone, the Blind Spot Indicator light located in
