The same as for the “N” position, since the low brake is released, so torque from the input shaft drive is not
transmitted to the output shaft.
The parking pawl linked with the selector lever mes hes with the parking gear and fastens the output shaft
mechanically.

f. Install the charging pipe (A) to the overflow plug hole. CAUTION:
Tighten the charging pipe by hand.
g. Install the bucket pump hose (B) to the charging pipe. CAUTION:
Insert the bucket pump hose all the way to the end of the
charging pipe.
h. Fill approximately 3 liters (3-1/8 US qt, 2-5/8 lmp qt) of the ATF.
i. Remove the bucket pump hose to remove the charging pipe, and then temporarily tighten the overflow plug to the oil pan.
CAUTION:
Quickly perform the procedure to avoid ATF leakage from
the oil pan.
j. Lift down the vehicle.
k. Start the engine.
l. Make the ATF temperature approximately 40 °C (104 °F).
NOTE:
The ATF level is greatly affected by the temperat ure. Always check the ATF temperature on “ATF TEMP
1” of “Data Monitor” using CONSULT-III.
m. Park vehicle on level surface and set parking brake.
n. Shift the selector lever through each gear pos ition. Leave selector lever in “P” position.
o. Lift up the vehicle when the ATF temperature reaches 40 °C (104 °F), and remove the overflow plug from
the oil pan.
CAUTION:
Perform “Step 4-o” with the engine at idle.
p. When the ATF starts to drip, tighten the overflow plug to the oil pan to the specified torque. Refer to TM-
182, "Exploded View".
CAUTION:
Never reuse overflow plug.
AdjustmentINFOID:0000000006226792
CAUTION:
Use only Genuine NISSAN Matic S ATF. Never mix with other ATF.
Using ATF other than Genuine NI SSAN Matic S ATF will cause deteri oration in driveability and A/T
durability, and may damage the A/T, which is not covered by the INFINITI new vehicle limited war-
ranty.
When filling ATF, be careful not to sca tter heat generating parts such as exhaust.
Always maintain the ATF temperature within between 35 °C (95 °F) and 45 °C (113 °F) while checking
with CONSULT-III when the ATF level adjustment is performed.

INSPECTION
1. Inspect the amount of engine oil. Replenish the engine oil if necessary.
2. Drive for about 10 minutes to warm up the vehicle
so that the A/T fluid temperature is 50 to 80°C (122 to
176 °F). Inspect the amount of AT F. Replenish if necessary.
3. Securely engage the parking brake so that the tires do not turn.
4. Start the engine, apply foot brake, and place selector lever in “D” position.
5. Gradually press down the accelerator pedal while holding down the foot brake.
6. Quickly read off the stall speed, and quickly release the accelerator pedal. CAUTION:
Never hold down the accelerator pedal for more than 5 seconds during this test.
7. Shift the selector lever to “N” position.
8. Cool down the ATF. CAUTION:
Run the engine at idle for at least 1 minute.
9. Repeat steps 5 through 8 with selector lever in “R” position.
