Shift lock release
If the battery is discharged, the shift lever may not
be moved from the P (Park) position even with the
brake pedal depressed.
To move the shift lever, release the shift lock. The
shift lever can be moved to N (Neutral) . However,
for models without the NISSAN Vehicle Immobi-
lizer System, the steering wheel will be locked
unless the ignition switch is turned to the ON
position. This allows the vehicle to be moved if
the battery is discharged.To push the shift lock release, complete the fol-
lowing procedure:
1.
Place the ignition switch to the LOCK position.
2. Apply the parking brake.
3. Remove the shift lock release cover. If a screwdriver is used to remove the cover, it
should be wrapped in a protective cloth to
prevent damage to the cover and surround-
ing plastic.
4. Insert a small object or finger in the shift lock release slot and push.
5. Move the shift lever to the N (Neutral) posi- tion while holding the shift lock release.
6. Now the vehicle may be moved to the de- sired location.
If the shift lever cannot be moved out of P (Park) ,
have the automatic transmission system checked
as soon as possible. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
