During the first 1,600 km (1,000 miles), follow these
recommendations for the future reliability and
economy of your new vehicle. Failure to follow the
recommendations may result in shortened engine
life and reduced engine performance.
•Avoid driving for long periods at a constant
speed, either fast or slow.
•Do not accelerate at full throttle in any gear.
•Avoid quick starts.
•Avoid hard braking as much as possible.
•Do not tow a trailer during the first 800 km (500
miles).
NOTE
Models with K9K diesel engine will achieve top
performance only after approximately 5,000 km
(3,000 miles).
WARNING
The driving characteristics of your vehicle can be
changed remarkably by any additional load and
its distribution as well as by adding optional
equipment (trailer couplings, roof racks, etc.).
Your driving style and speed have to be adjusted
accordingly. Especially when carrying heavy
loads, your speed must be reduced adequately.
•Make sure the area around the vehicle is free of
obstacles.
•Check fluid levels such as engine oil, coolant,
brake and clutch fluid, and window washer fluid
as frequently as possible, at least whenever you
refuel.
•Visually inspect tyres for their appearance and
condition. Also check the tyre pressure for
proper inflation.
•Maintenance items in the “8. Maintenance and
do-it-yourself” section should be checked peri-
odically.
•Check that all windows and light lenses are
clean.
•Check that all doors are closed.
•Position the seat and adjust the head restraints.
•Adjust the inside and outside mirrors.
•Fasten your seat belt and ask all passengers to
do likewise.
•Check the operation of the warning/indicator
lights when the ignition switch is turned to the
ON position.
•Do not place hard or heavy objects on the dash-
board or rear parcel shelf in order to prevent
injury in the event of a sudden stop.

5-2Starting and driving

jaTPMS indicator light
jbTPMS tyre location indicator
jATyre valve with sensor
The tyre pressure monitoring system monitors the
tyre pressure of the four wheels while the vehicle is
in motion. Following a loss in pressure, the system
will warn the driver using a visual warning. EachTPMS sensor
jA has a registered wheel location
and sends pressure and temperature data via radio
to a receiver inside the vehicle.
Each tyre, including the spare (where fitted), should
be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the
inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle
manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tyre inflation
pressure label. (If your vehicle has tyres of a differ-
ent size than the size indicated on the vehicle plac-
ard or tyre inflation pressure label, you should deter-
mine the proper tyre inflation pressure for those
tyres.)
The Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) con-
trols the TPMS indicator light
ja , which will illumi-
nate when one or more tyres are significantly under-
inflated. A warning and tyre location indicator
jb
will also appear in the vehicle information display to
identify the tyre or tyres with low pressure.
If you now press theswitch on the steer-
ing wheel, a further screen is displayed to tell you
the tyre pressure of all four tyres.Accordingly, when the TPMS indicator light illumi-
nates, safely stop the vehicle to check the tyres as
soon as possible and inflate the tyres to the proper
pressure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated
tyre causes the tyre to overheat and can lead to tyre
failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency
and tyre tread life which may affect the vehicle’s
handling and stopping ability.
NOTE
The TPMS is not a substitute for proper tyre main-
tenance. It is the driver’s responsibility to main-
tain correct tyre pressure, even if under-inflation
has not reached the level to trigger the illumina-
tion of the TPMS indicator light
ja.
The TPMS indicator light flashes for a short period
and then turns on continuously if the system is not
operating properly. This sequence will continue
upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the
malfunction exists (missing or faulty TPMS sensor
or TPMS system malfunction). When the malfunc-
tion warning light is illuminated, the system may not

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.
NSD496
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.
