DRIVING WITH AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION OR WITH
CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE
TRANSMISSION (Models with manual
shift)
CAUTION
The cold engine idle speed is high, so use
caution when shifting into a forward or re-
verse gear before the engine has warmed up.
Avoid revving up the engine while the vehicle
is stopped. This could cause unexpected ve-
hicle movement.
Driving precautions
Never shift to P (Park) or R (Reverse) while
the vehicle is moving, this could result in dam-
age to the transmission.
Start the engine in the P (Park) or N (Neutral)
position. The engine will not start in any otherselector position. If it does, have your vehicle
checked by a NISSAN dealer or qualified
workshop.
Do not depress the accelerator pedal while
shifting from P (Park) or N (Neutral) to R (Re-
verse), D (Drive) or Manual shift modes posi-
tion. Always depress the brake pedal until
shifting is completed.
On an uphill grade, do not hold the vehicle by
depressing the accelerator pedal. The foot-
brake should be used for this purpose, in or-
der to hold the vehicle in place and to prevent
overheating of the transmission.
Shift into the N (Neutral) 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.
CAUTION (when starting the vehicle):
DEPRESS THE FOOTBRAKE PEDAL
When the engine is running, shifting the se-
lector lever into the R (Reverse), D (Drive) or
Manual shift mode position without depress-
ing the brake pedal causes the vehicle to
move slowly. Be sure the brake pedal is fully
depressed and the vehicle is stopped, before
shifting the selector lever.
BE AWARE OF THE SELECTOR LEVER POSI-
TION Make sure that the selector lever is in the
desired position. Use the D (Drive), or Manual
shift mode to move forwards and the R (Re-
verse) to move backwards. Release the hand-
brake lever and the footbrake pedal, then de-
press the accelerator pedal to start the vehicle
in motion and merge with traffic (avoid abrupt
starting and spinning the wheels).
Avoid revving up the engine while the vehicle
is stopped, this could cause unexpected ve-
hicle movement [if the selector lever is in the
R (Reverse), D (Drive), or Manual shift mode
position] or damage the engine [if the selec-
tor lever is in the N (Neutral) or P (Park) posi-
tion].
WARM THE ENGINE UP
Due to the higher idle speeds when the en-
gine is cold, extra caution must be taken when
shifting the selector lever into the driving po-
sition immediately after starting the engine.
PARKING THE VEHICLE

models. However, the timing for tyre rotation may
vary according to your driving habits and road sur-
face conditions.
Wheel alignment and balance:
If the vehicle pull to either side while driving on a
straight and level road, or if you detect uneven or
abnormal tyre wear, there may be a need for wheel
alignment. If the steering wheel or seat vibrates at
normal highway speeds, wheel balancing may be
needed.
Wheel nuts:
When checking the tyres, make sure no wheel nuts
are missing, and check for any loose wheel nuts.
Tighten if necessary.Windscreen:
