vehicle isnot running, aftersome timeunder the
following conditions:
. alldoors areclosed.
. shift lever isin ªPº (Park) position (CVTmodel) or
ªNº (Neutral) position(MTmodel) .
The battery saverfeature willbecancelled ifany ofthe
following occur:
. anydoor isopened.
. shift lever ismoved outofthe ªPº (Park) position.

Example
1. Place theignition switchinthe ªOFFº orªLOCKº
position.
2. Apply theparking brake.
3. Remove theshift lockrelease cover(shown inthe
illustration above)usingasuitable tool.
4. Insert themechanical keyand push down theshift
lock release.
5. Press theshift lever button andmove theshift
lever tothe ªNº (Neutral) positionwhileholding
down theshift lockrelease. Replace theremoved
shift lockrelease coveraftertheoperation. T
ype B:
GUID-2201 8305-9BAB- 4201-B6FC-C08EB94A EAE0
JVS0466X
1. Place theignition switchinthe ªOFFº orªLOCKº
position.
2. Apply theparking brake.
3. Depress theshift lockrelease button.
4. Press theshift lever button andmove theshift
lever tothe ªNº (Neutral) positionwhileholding
down theshift lockrelease.
Place theignition switchinthe ªONº position to
release thesteering wheellock.
The vehicle maybemoved, bypushing, tothe desired
location.
If the shift lever cannot bemoved outofthe ªPº (Park)
position, haveaNISSAN dealerchecktheCVT system
as soon aspossible.
High fluidtemperature protectionmode
T32A1308 27-808BD 7D2-9BE0-4 70E-A660-24 B385D4FB8A
This transmission hasahigh fluidtemperature protec-
tion mode. Ifthe fluid temperature becomestoohigh
(for example, whenclimbing steepgrades inhigh
temperature withheavy loads),engine powerand,
under someconditions, vehiclespeedwillbede-
creased automatically toreduce thechance of
transmission damage.Vehicle speed canbecontrolled with
theaccelerator pedal,butengine andvehicle
speed maybelimited.
Fail-safe
T32A1308 27-5877C8 5B-EA11-4DD 6-9D52-6992317A74D 5
When thefail-safe operation occurs,theCVT willnot
be shifted tothe selected drivingposition.
If the vehicle isdriven underextreme conditions,
such asexcessive wheelspinning andsubse-
quent hardbraking, thefail-safe systemmaybe
activated. Thiswilloccur evenifall electrical
circuits arefunctioning properly.Inthis case,
turn theignition switchoffand wait for10
seconds. Thenplace theignition switchbackin
the ªONº position. Thevehicle shouldreturnto
its normal operating condition. Ifitdoes not
return toits normal operating condition, havea
NISSAN dealercheckthetransmission and
repair itifnecessary.
WARNING:
When thefail-safe operation occurs,vehicle
speed maybegradually reduced.Thereduced
speed maybelower thanother traffic,which
could increase thechance ofacollision. Be
especially carefulwhendriving. Ifnecessary, pull
to the side ofthe road atasafe place andallow
the transmission toreturn tonormal operation,
or have itrepaired ifnecessary.
