CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION (CVT)
After starting the engine, fully depress the brake pedal. Move
the shift lever out of the P (PARk) position. The cVT can
operate in two different automatic drive modes:

d (d rive) mode - When the shift lever is moved to d (d rive),
the transmission is in the normal forward automatic driving
mode. The position indicator in the meter shows a “ d.” The
d (d rive) mode does not produce a gear change sensation
like a traditional automatic transmission.

ds (drive Sport) mode - Move the shift lever from d (d rive)
to the left into the manual shift gate. The position indicator
in the meter shows a “ds”. in ds (drive Sport) mode,
transmission operation changes to “Sporty” driving shift operation, creating a more aggressive
acceleration feeling than the d (drive) mode and a gear change sensation when the driver
accelerates quickly. When the driver selects M (Manual) mode ratio with the shift lever during
ds (drive Sport) mode operation, the driver must move the shift lever from ds mode to d
mode and back again to re-select ds (drive Sport) mode.
• To cancel the Ds (Drive Sport) mode, return the shift lever to the D (Drive) position. The
transmission returns to the normal automatic driving mode.
n OTe: The transmission in your vehicle requires a special fluid available onl\
y at your niSSA n
dealer. no other fluid will meet the exact requirements of the cVT.
MAnu AL SH ifT MO de
When the shift lever is shifted from d (d RiVe) to the manual shift gate, the transmission enters
the manual shift mode.

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).

in manual shift mode, the position indicator in the meter shows one of the following:
“M1,” “M2,” “M3,” “M4,” “M5” or “M6.”

i n manual shift mode, the transmission automatically shifts down to M1 ( fiRST) before the
vehicle comes to a stop. When accelerating again, it is necessary to shift to the desired range.

When canceling the manual shift mode, return the shift lever to the d (d RiV e) position. The
transmission returns to the normal driving mode.
