fully and the vehicle is stopped
before shifting the shift lever.
. MAKE SURE OF THE SHIFT LEVER
POSITION - Make sure the shift
position is in the desired position
on the vehicle information dis-
play. D (Drive) and M (Manual shift
mode) are used to move forward
and R (Reverse) to back up.
. WARM UP THE ENGINE - Due to the
higher idle speeds when the en-
gine is cold, extra caution must
be exercised when shifting the
shift lever into the driving posi-
tion immediately after starting
the engine.

Home position (central position)
To move the shift lever,
: Push the buttonto shift.
: Shift without pushing the button.
Shifting
Push the park buttonto shift to the P
(Park) position.
After starting the engine, fully depress the
brake pedal, push the shift lever button
and move the shift lever from the P (Park)
positionto any of the desired shift
positions.
Confirm that the vehicle is in the desired
shift position by checking the shift indi-
cator located on the shift lever or on the vehicle information display.
WARNING
Apply the electronic parking brake if
the shift lever is in any position while
the engine is not running. Failure to
do so could cause the vehicle to
move unexpectedly or roll away and
result in serious personal injury or
property damage.
CAUTION
.
Use the P (Park), R (Reverse) or D
(Drive) position only when the
vehicle is completely stopped.
. When switching to the desired
shift position by operating the
shift lever, check that the shift
lever returns to the central posi-
tion by releasing your hand from
the lever. Holding the shift lever in
a mid-way position may also
damage the shift control system.
. Do not operate the shift lever
while the accelerator pedal is
depressed. This may cause a
sudden start which could result

in an accident.
. The following operations are not
allowed because excessive force
would be applied to the transmis-
sion and this may result in da-
mage to the vehicle:
— Moving the shift lever to the R
(Reverse) position when driv-
ing forward
— Moving the shift lever to the D (Drive) position when rever-
sing
If these operations are at-
tempted, a chime sounds and
the vehicle shifts to the N (Neu-
tral) position.
P (Park):
CAUTION
. To prevent transmission damage,
use the P (Park) position only
when the vehicle is completely
stopped.
. Do not slide the shift lever while
pushing the park button. This
may damage the shift control
system. Use this position when the vehicle is
parked or starting the engine. Always
make sure that the vehicle is completely
stopped before pushing the park button
to engage the P (Park) position. For
maximum safety, the brake pedal must
be depressed before engaging the P
(Park) position. Use this position together
with the electronic parking brake. When
parking on a hill, first depress the brake
pedal, apply the electronic parking brake
and then engage the P (Park) position.
The parking lock should not be used as a
brake when parking. In order to secure
the vehicle, always apply the electronic
parking brake in addition to the parking
lock.
In the event of a malfunction of the
vehicle’s electronics, the transmission
may lock in the P (Park) position. Have
the vehicle’s electronics checked immedi-
ately. It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service.
The P (Park) position is automatically
engaged if:
.
You switch off the ignition switch
. You unfasten the driver’s seat belt and
open the driver side door when the
vehicle is stationary or driving at very
low speed and the transmission is in
the D (Drive) position, the R (Reverse)
position or the N position unless the Neutral hold mode is engaged.
CAUTION
To avoid CVT malfunction, it is re-
commended that you manually
place the shift position in the P (Park)
position under the above conditions.
R (Reverse):
CAUTION
To prevent transmission damage,
use the R (Reverse) position only
when the vehicle is completely
stopped.
Use the R (Reverse) position to back up.
Make sure the vehicle is completely
stopped before selecting the R (Reverse)
position. The brake pedal must be de-
pressed and the shift lever button
pushed to move the shift lever from
the home position to R (Reverse). If the
vehicle is placed in the R (Reverse)
position while the vehicle is moving
forward, the chime will sound and the
vehicle will switch into the N (Neutral)
position.
Starting and driving5-21

5-24Starting and driving
1M(1st):
Use this position when climbing steep
hills slowly or driving slowly through deep
snow, or for maximum engine braking on
steep downhill grades.
. Remember not to drive at high speeds
for extended periods of time in lower
than 8th gear. This reduces fuel econ-
omy.
. Pulling the same paddle shifter twice
will shift the ranges in succession.
However, if this motion is rapidly done,
the second shifting may not be com-
pleted properly.
. In the manual shift mode, the trans-
mission may not shift to the se-
lected gear. This helps maintain
driving performance and reduces
the chance of vehicle damage or
loss of control.
. When this situation occurs, the Con-
tinuously Variable Transmission
(CVT) position indicator will blink
and the chime will sound.
. In the manual shift mode, the trans-
mission may shift up automatically
to a higher range than selected if the
engine speed is too high. When the
vehicle speed decreases, the trans-
mission automatically shifts down
and shifts to 1st gear before the
vehicle comes to a stop. .
CVT operation is limited to automatic
drive mode when CVT fluid tempera-
ture is extremely low even if manual
shift mode is selected. This is not a
malfunction. When CVT fluid warms
up, manual shift mode can be se-
lected.
. When the CVT fluid temperature is
high, the shift range may upshift in
lower rpm than usual. This is not a
malfunction.
Accelerator downshift - in D (Drive)
position -
For passing or climbing hills, depress the
accelerator pedal to the floor. This shifts
the transmission down into a lower gear,
depending on the vehicle speed.
High fluid temperature protection
mode
This transmission has a high fluid tem-
perature protection mode. If the fluid
temperature becomes too high, (for ex-
ample, when climbing steep grades in
high temperatures with heavy loads, such
as when towing a trailer), engine power
and, under some conditions, vehicle
speed will be decreased automatically to
reduce the chance of transmission da-
mage. Vehicle speed can be controlled
with the accelerator pedal, but the engine and vehicle speed may be limited.
Fail-safe
When the fail-safe operation occurs, the
Continuously Variable Transmission will
not be shifted into the selected driving
position.
If the vehicle is driven under extreme
conditions, such as excessive wheel
spinning and subsequent hard braking,
the fail-safe system may be activated.
The Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
may come on to indicate the fail-safe
mode is activated. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL)” (P.2-19). This will occur even
if all electrical circuits are functioning
properly. In this case, place the ignition
switch in the OFF position and wait for
10 seconds. Then place the ignition
switch back in the ON position. The
vehicle should return to its normal
operating condition. (The MIL may be
illuminated even when the vehicle has
returned to its normal operating condi-
tion.) If it does not return to its normal
operating condition, have the transmis-
sion checked and repaired, if necessary,
by a NISSAN dealer.

5-26Starting and driving
.When the shift position is placed in the
P (Park) position.
. When the driver’s door is opened.
. When the driver’s seat belt is unfas-
tened.
The electronic parking brake is automati-
cally released as soon as the vehicle
starts while the accelerator pedal is
depressed under the following condi-
tions.
. While the engine is running.
. When the shift position is in the D
(Drive) or R (Reverse) position.
. When the driver’s door is closed.
The electronic parking brake is automati-
cally released within 5 seconds after the
shift position is placed in the D (Drive) or R
(Reverse) position even if the driver’s door
is opened. Be sure to close the door
before starting the vehicle.
WARNING
. When the automatic brake hold
function is activated, the electro-
nic parking brake will not be
automatically applied when the
engine is stopped without using
the ignition switch (for example,
by engine stalling). Without the vehicle stationary,
the electronic parking brake will
not be automatically applied
even if the engine is turned off
with the ignition switch.
. Before leaving the vehicle, place
the shift position in the P (Park)
position and check that the elec-
tronic parking brake warning
light is illuminated to confirm
that the electronic parking brake
is applied. The electronic parking
brake warning light will remain
on for a period of time after the
driver’s door is locked.
CAUTION
When parking in an area where the
outside temperature is below 32°F
(0°C), the electronic parking brake, if
applied, may freeze in place and may
be difficult to release.
For safe parking, it is recommended
that you place the shift position in
the P (Park) position and securely
block the wheels. NOTE:
.
To keep the electronic parking brake
released after the engine is turned
off, place the ignition switch in the
OFF position, depress the brake
pedal and push down the parking
brake switch before opening the
driver’s door.
. If a malfunction occurs in the elec-
tronic parking brake system (for
example, due to battery discharge),
it is recommended to contact a
NISSAN dealer.
. Under the following conditions, the
electronic parking brake will auto-
matically be applied and the brake
force of the automatic brake hold
will be released.
—The braking force is applied by
the automatic brake hold function
for 3 minutes or longer.
— The vehicle is placed in the P
(Park) position.
— The driver’s seat belt is unfas-
tened.
— The driver’s door is opened.
— The ignition switch is placed in
the OFF position.
— The electronic parking brake is
applied manually.

—If a malfunction occurs in the
automatic brake hold function.
. Make sure that the electronic park-
ing brake system warning light (yel-
low) is OFF before starting the
vehicle.
MANUAL OPERATION
To apply: When the vehicle is stopped,
pull the parking brake switchup. (The
electronic parking brake will apply even if
the ignition switch is placed in the OFF
position.) The indicator light
on the
switch and the electronic parking brake
warning light PARK or
(red) will
illuminate.
To release: With the ignition switch in the
ON position, depress the brake pedal and
push the parking brake switch down
.
The indicator lightand the electronic
parking brake warning light (red) will turn
off.
Before driving, check that the electronic
parking brake warning light (red) turns
off. For additional information, see “Warn-
ing lights, indicator lights and audible
reminders” (P.2-13).
NOTE:
. While the electronic parking brake is
applied or released, an operating
sound is heard from the lower side
of the rear seat. This is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.
. When the electronic parking brake is
frequently applied and released in a
short period of time, the electronic
parking brake system warning light
(yellow) may blink and the electronic
parking brake may not operate in
order to prevent the electronic park-
ing brake system from overheating.
If this occurs, operate the parking
brake switch again after waiting
approximately 1 minute.
. If the electronic parking brake must
be applied while driving in an emer-
gency, pull up and hold the parking
brake switch. When you release the
parking brake switch, the electronic
parking brake will be released.
. While pulling up the parking brake
switch during driving, the electronic
parking brake is applied and a chime
sounds. The electronic parking
brake warning light (red) and the
indicator light on the parking brake
switch illuminate. This does not in-
dicate a malfunction. The electronic
parking brake warning light (red)
and the indicator light on the park-
ing brake switch will turn off when
the electronic parking brake is re-
leased. .
When pulling the parking brake
switch up with the ignition switch
in the OFF position, the indicator
light on the parking brake switch
will continue to illuminate for a short
period of time.
When towing a trailer
Depending on the weight of the vehicle
and trailer and the steepness of the slope,
there may be a tendency for the vehicle
to move backwards when starting from a
standstill. When this occurs, you can use
the parking brake switch in the same way
as a conventional lever type parking
brake.
Before starting on sloping roads when
towing a trailer, be sure to read the
following to prevent the vehicle from
moving backward unintentionally.
.Release the parking brake switch as
soon as the engine is delivering en-
ough torque to the wheels.
