Shift lever indicator (where fitted):
The shift lever indicator
jA located in the lower part
of the vehicle information display can help to im-
prove the level of environmentally friendly driving.
Following the shift lever indicator by changing to a
higher (or lower) gear whenever the UP (or DOWN)
arrow is displayed may improve fuel economy
An UP arrow suggests shifting to a higher gear, a
down arrow suggests shifting to a lower gear.
However, the driver remains responsible for decid-
ing the most suitable gear according to actual ve-
hicle, road and traffic conditions.
NOTE
No arrow is displayed is some circumstances in-
cluding:
– The actual gear matches recommended gear
– The vehicle speed is approx. 0 km/hReverse gear:
To reverse with 6–speed manual transmission, pro-
ceed as follows:
1) Stop the vehicle.
2) Move the shift lever into the N (Neutral) position.
3) Pull and hold the shift lever ring
j1 up.
4) Move the shift lever into the R (Reverse) posi-
tion.
5) Release the shift lever ring and safely drive the
vehicle backwards.
The shift lever ring returns to its original position
when the shift lever is moved to the N (Neutral)
position.
When the shift lever is in the R (Reverse) position,
either the NissanConnect monitor (where fitted) or
the ultrasonic parking sensor (where fitted) will be
activated. For details, see “Rear-view monitor
(where fitted)” or “Around View Monitor (where
fitted)” in the “4. Display screen, heater and air con-
ditioner, and audio system” section or “Ultrasonic
Parking Sensors (where fitted)” later in this section.
For details, see “Ultrasonic Parking Sensors (where
fitted)” later in this section.
If it is difficult to move the shift lever into R (Reverse)
or 1st. Shift into N (Neutral), then release the clutch
pedal. Fully depress the clutch pedal again and shift
into R (Reverse) or 1st.
DRIVING WITH XTRONIC
TRANSMISSION (CVT)
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.
•Except in an emergency, do not shift to the N
(Neutral) position while driving. Coasting with
the transmission in the N position may cause
serious damage to the transmission.
•Start the engine in the P (Park) or N (Neutral)
position. The engine will not start in any other
shift lever position. If it does, have your ve-
hicle 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.

5-18Starting and driving

P (Park):
Use this position when the vehicle is parked or when
starting the engine. Always make sure that the ve-
hicle is completely stopped before moving the shift
lever into the P (Park) position. For maximum safety,
the footbrake pedal must be depressed before mov-
ing the shift lever into the P (Park) position. Use this
position together with the parking brake. When park-
ing on a hill, first depress the footbrake pedal, apply
the parking brake and then shift into the P (Park)
position.
R (Reverse):
CAUTION
Shift into this position only after the vehicle has
completely stopped.
Use this position to reverse the vehicle.
When the shift lever is in the R (Reverse) position,
either the NissanConnect monitor (where fitted) or
the ultrasonic parking sensor (where fitted) will be
activated. For details, see “Rear-view monitor
(where fitted)” or “Around View Monitor (where
fitted)” in the “4. Display screen, heater and air con-
ditioner, and audio system” section or “Ultrasonic
Parking Sensors (where fitted)” later in this section.
N (Neutral):
Neither forward nor reverse gear is engaged. The
engine can be started in this position. You may shift
to N and restart a stalled engine while driving the
vehicle.D (Drive):
Use this position for all normal forward driving.
Shift lever indicator:
The shift lever indicator
jA located in the lower part
of the vehicle information display shows the current
position of the transmission.
It shows the P,R,N,D modes when the transmission
is in auto mode or the shift position when the trans-
mission is in manual mode.
Ds (Drive Sport) and Manual shift mode
When the shift lever is shifted from D (Drive) to the
manual shift gate with the vehicle stopped or while
driving, the transmission enters Ds (Drive Sport)
mode. Ds mode will provide improved acceleration
response and engine braking. Moving the shift lever
forwards and backwards allows manual shifting.
In manual shift mode, the selected gear is displayed
on the position indicator in the combination meter.Shift ranges up or down one by one as follows:
1st⇔2nd⇔3rd⇔4th⇔5th⇔6th⇔7th
•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).
•Moving the shift lever rapidly to the same side
twice will shift the ranges in succession.
•Use the 1st position when driving slowly on steep
hills, slow driving through deep snow, sand or
mud, or for maximum engine braking on steep
downhill grades.
•Use the 2nd, 3rd or 4th position when driving
steep hills or for engine braking on steep down-
hill grades.
•Use the 5th position for driving up or down long
slopes.
•Use the 6th position for all normal forward driv-
ing. However, you need to shift down the gears
when accelerating or passing another vehicle.
•When cancelling manual shift mode, return the
shift lever to the D (Drive) position. The transmis-
sion returns to the normal driving mode.
•In manual shift mode, the transmission may
not shift to the selected gear under certain
circumstances. This helps maintain driving
performance and reduces the chance of ve-
hicle damage or loss of control.

SYSTEM OPERATION
The forward emergency braking system will func-
tion when your vehicle is driven at speeds above
approximately 5 km/h (3 MPH).
If a risk of a forward collision is detected, the for-
ward emergency braking system will provide the
first warning to the driver by flashing the forward
collision warning light (orange) and providing an au-
dible warning.
If the driver applies the brakes quickly and forcefully
after the warning, and the forward emergency brak-
ing system detects that there is still the possibility of
a forward collision, the system will automatically in-
crease the braking force.
If the driver does not take action, the forward emer-
gency braking system issues the second visual
warning (red) and audible warning. If the driver re-
leases the accelerator pedal, then the system ap-
plies partial braking
If the risk of a collision becomes imminent, the for-
ward emergency braking system applies harder
braking automatically.
NOTE
The vehicle’s brake lights come on when braking
is performed by the forward emergency braking
system.
Depending on vehicle speed and distance to the
vehicle ahead, as well as driving and roadway con-
ditions, the system may help the driver avoid a for-ward collision or may help mitigate the
consequences if a collision should one be unavoid-
able.
If the driver is handling the steering wheel, acceler-
ating or braking, the forward emergency braking
system will function later or will not function.
The automatic braking will cease under the follow-
ing conditions:
•When the steering wheel is turned as far as nec-
essary to avoid a collision.
•When the accelerator pedal is depressed.
•When there is no longer a vehicle detected
ahead.
If the forward emergency braking system has
stopped the vehicle, the vehicle will remain at a
standstill for approximately 2 seconds before the
brakes are released.
WARNING
•The radar sensor does not detect the follow-
ing objects:
– Pedestrians, animals or obstacles in the
roadway
– Oncoming vehicles
– Crossing vehicles
•The radar sensor has some performance limi-
tations. If a stationary vehicle is in the vehi-
cle’s path, the forward emergency brakingsystem will not function when the vehicle is
driven at speeds over approximately 45 MPH
(70 km/h).
•The radar sensor may not detect a vehicle
ahead in the following conditions:
– Dirt, ice, snow or other material covering
the radar sensor.
– Interference by other radar sources.
– Snow or road spray from travelling
vehicles.
– If the vehicle ahead is narrow (e.g. motor-
cycle).
– When driving on a steep downhill slope or
roads with sharp curves.
– When towing a trailer.
•In some road or traffic conditions, the forward
emergency braking system may unexpectedly
apply partial braking. When acceleration is
necessary, continue to depress the accelera-
tor pedal to override the system.
•Braking distances increase on slippery sur-
faces.
•Excessive noise will interfere with the warn-
ing chime sound, and the chime may not be
heard.
•The system is designed to automatically
check the sensor’s functionality, within cer-
tain limitations. The system may not detect
some forms of obstruction of the sensor area

of the front bumper such as ice, snow, stick-
ers, for example. In these cases, the system
may not be able to warn the driver properly.
Be sure that you check, clean and clear the
sensor area of the front bumper regularly
Turning the forward emergency braking
system ON/OFF
Perform the following steps to turn the forward
emergency braking system ON or OFF.
1. Using the
orswitches and the ENTER but-
ton on the left side of the steering wheel, select
the Settings menu in the vehicle information dis-
play. (See “Settings” in the “2. Instruments and
controls” section
2. Using the
orswitches and the ENTER but-
ton, navigate to the [Driver Assistance] menu,
followed by the [Driving Aids] menu.
3. In the [Driving Aids] menu, highlight the [Emer-
gency Brake] item and use the ENTER button to
toggle between ON (enabled) or OFF (disabled).When the forward emergency braking system is
turned off, the forward emergency braking system
warning light (orange) will illuminate.System temporarily unavailable
Condition A:
When the radar picks up interference from another
radar source, making it impossible to detect a ve-
hicle ahead, the forward emergency braking system
is automatically turned off. The forward emergency
braking system warning light (orange) and the for-
ward collision warning light (orange) will illuminate.
Action to take:
When the above conditions no longer exist, the for-
ward emergency braking system will resume auto-
matically.
Condition B:
When the sensor area of the front bumper is cov-
ered with dirt or obstructed, making it impossible to
detect a vehicle ahead, the forward emergency brak-ing system is automatically turned off. The forward
emergency braking system warning light (orange)
and the forward collision warning light (orange) will
illuminate and the “front radar obstruction” warning
message will appear in the vehicle information dis-
play.
Action to take:
If the warning light (orange) comes on, park the
vehicle in a safe location and turn the engine off.
Check to see if the sensor area of the front bumper
is blocked. If the sensor area of the front bumper is
blocked, remove the blocking material. Restart the
engine. If the warning light continues to illuminate,
have the forward emergency braking system
checked by a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.System malfunction
If the forward emergency braking system malfunc-
tions, it will be turned off automatically, a chime will
sound, the forward emergency braking system
warning light (orange) and the forward collision
warning light (orange) will illuminate and the warn-
ing message [Malfunction] will appear in the vehicle
information display.
Action to take:
If the warning light (orange) comes on, park the
vehicle in a safe location, turn the engine off and
restart the engine. If the warning light continues to
illuminate, have the forward emergency braking sys-
tem checked by a NISSAN dealer or qualified work-
shop.
