OPERATING TIPS
When the gear (MT) or selector (AT or CVT)
lever is shifted to R (Reverse), the NISSAN Con-
nect display automatically changes to the rear-
view monitor mode.
When the gear (MT) or selector (AT or CVT)
lever is returned to a position other than R (Re- verse), it may take some time until the screen
changes. Objects on the screen may be dis-
torted until they are completely displayed.
When the temperature is extremely high or low,
the screen may not clearly display objects. This
is not a malfunction.
When strong light directly enters the camera
lens, objects may not be displayed clearly. This
is not a malfunction.
Vertical lines may be seen in objects on the
screen. This is due to strong reflected light from
the bumper. This is not a malfunction.
The screen may flicker under fluorescent light.
This is not a malfunction.
The colours of objects on the rear-view monitor
may differ somewhat from those of the actual
object.
Objects on the monitor may not be clear in a
dark place or at night.
If dirt, rain or snow attaches to the transparent
camera cover, the rear-view monitor may not
clearly display objects. Clean the transparent
camera cover.
Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner to clean
the transparent camera cover. This will cause
discoloration. To clean the transparent camera
cover, wipe with a cloth dampened with diluted
mild cleaning agent and then wipe with a dry
cloth.
Do not damage the transparent camera cover as
the NISSAN Connect display may be adversely
affected.
Do not use body wax on the transparent camera
cover. Wipe off any wax with a clean cloth damp-
ened with mild detergent diluted with water.

AT models:
When the fail-safe operation occurs, the AT CHECK
indicator light comes on for 2 seconds and the auto-
matic transmission will be locked in the third gear.
Have a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop check
and repair the transmission.
CVT models:
When the fail-safe operation occurs, the vehicle
speed will be decreased automatically to reduce the
chance of transmission damage. Vehicle speed can
be controlled with the accelerator pedal, but the
engine power may be limited. Have a NISSAN dealer
or qualified workshop check and repair the trans-
mission.
AT or CVT models:
If the vehicle is driven under extreme conditions,
such as excessive wheel spinning and subse-
quent hard braking, the Fail-safe system may be
activated. This will occur even if all electrical cir-
cuits are functioning properly. In this case, turn
the ignition switch “OFF” and wait for 10 sec-
onds. Then turn the key back to the ON position.
The vehicle should return to its normal operating
condition. If it does not return to its normal oper-
ating condition have your NISSAN dealer or quali-
fied workshop check the transmission and have
the transmission repaired by a NISSAN dealer or
qualified workshop, if necessary.WARNING
When the fail safe operation occurs, the vehicle
speed may be lower than other traffic, which
could increase the chance of a collision. Be es-
pecially careful when driving. If necessary, drive
to the side of the road at a safe place and away
from traffic, to allow the transmission to return to
normal operation, or have the transmission re-
paired by a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop,
if necessary.
DRIVING WITH CONTINUOUSLY
VARIABLE TRANSMISSION (CVT)
(Models without manual shift)
The Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) in
your vehicle is electronically controlled to produce
maximum power and smooth operation.
The recommended operating procedures for this
transmission are shown on the following pages. Fol-
low these procedures for maximum vehicle perfor-
mance and driving enjoyment.
WARNING
Do not downshift abruptly on slippery roads. This
may cause a loss of control.
CAUTION
The cold engine idle speed is high, so use
caution when shifting the transmission into a
forward or reverse position before the engine
has warmed up.
Avoid revving up the engine while the vehicle
is stopped. This could cause unexpected ve-
hicle movement.
Never shift to either the P (Park) or R (Re-
verse) position while the vehicle is moving.
This could cause serious damage to the trans-
mission.
Start the engine in either the P (Park) or N
(Neutral) position. The engine will not start in
any other position. If it does, have your ve-
hicle checked by a NISSAN dealer or qualified
workshop.
Shift into the P (Park) position and apply the
handbrake when at a standstill for longer than
a short waiting period.
Keep the engine at idling speed while shifting
from the N (Neutral) position to any driving
position.
When stopping the vehicle on an uphill grade,
do not hold the vehicle by depressing the ac-
celerator pedal. The footbrake pedal should
be depressed in this situation.
Starting vehicle
1. After starting the engine, fully depress the foot- brake pedal before moving the selector lever out
of the P (Park) position.
2. Keep the footbrake pedal depressed and move the selector lever to a driving position.
3. Release the handbrake, the footbrake pedal, and then gradually start the vehicle in motion.
Starting and driving5-17

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The CVT is designed so the footbrake pedal
MUST be depressed before shifting from the P
(Park) position to any driving position while the
ignition switch is in the ON position.
The selector lever cannot be moved out of the P
(Park) position and into any of the other posi-
tions if the ignition switch is placed in the LOCK,
“OFF” or ACC position or if the key is removed.
CAUTION
DEPRESS THE FOOTBRAKE PEDAL - Shifting
the selector lever to D, R or L without de-
pressing the footbrake pedal causes the ve-
hicle to move slowly when the engine is run-
ning. Make sure the footbrake pedal is de-
pressed fully and the vehicle is stopped before
shifting the selector lever.
MAKE SURE OF THE SELECTOR LEVER POSI-
TION - Make sure the selector lever is in the
desired position. D and L are used to move
forward and R to reverse.
WARM UP THE ENGINE - Due to the higher
idle speeds when the engine is cold, extra
caution must be exercised when shifting the
selector lever into the driving position imme-
diately after starting the engine.

WARNING
Apply the handbrake if the selector 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.
If the selector lever cannot be moved from
the P (Park) position while the engine is run-
ning and the footbrake pedal is depressed,
the stop lights may not work. Malfunctioning
stop lights could cause an accident injuring
yourself and others.
After starting the engine, fully depress the footbrake
pedal, push the selector lever button and move the
selector lever out of the P (Park) position.
If the ignition switch is placed in the “OFF” or ACC
position for any reason while the selector lever is in
any positions other than the P (Park) position, the
ignition switch cannot be placed in the LOCK posi-
tion.
If the ignition switch cannot be placed in the LOCK
position, perform the following steps:
1. Apply the handbrake.
2. Place the ignition switch in the ON position while depressing the footbrake pedal.
3. Move the selector lever to the P (Park) position.

Models without Intelligent Key system:
Place the ignition switch in the LOCK position.
P (Park):
Use this position when the vehicle is parked or when
starting the engine. Make sure that the vehicle is
completely stopped and move the selector lever
into the P (Park) position. Apply the handbrake.
When parking on a hill, first depress the footbrake
pedal, apply the handbrake, and then move the se-
lector lever into the P (Park) position.
R (Reverse):
Use this position to reverse. Make sure that the

When the selector lever is in the R (Reverse) posi-
tion, either the NISSAN Connect monitor (where fit-
ted) or the ultra sonic parking sensor (where fitted)
will be activated. For details, see “Rear-view moni-
tor (where fitted)” or “Around view monitor (where
fitted)” earlier in this section or “Ultrasonic Parking
Sensor (where fitted)” later in this section
N (Neutral):
Neither the forward nor reverse gear is engaged.
The engine can be started in this position. You may
shift to the N (Neutral) position and restart a stalled
engine while the vehicle is moving.
D (Drive):
