tem will automatically shift into the
armed phase. The security light begins
to flash once every three seconds. If
during the pre-armed phase one of
the following occurs, the system will
not arm:
.Any door is unlocked with the keyfob (if so equipped), the Intelligent
Key (if so equipped), mechanical
key, or door request switch.
.Ignition switch is placed in the ONposition.
Even when the driver and/or passen-
gers are in the vehicle, the system will
activate with all the doors, hood (if so
equipped) and liftgate locked with the
ignition switch placed in the LOCK posi-
tion. When placing the ignition switch in
the ON position, the system will be
released.
Vehicle security system activation
The vehicle security system will give the
following alarm:
. The headlights blink and the horn
sounds intermittently.
. The alarm automatically turns off
after approximately 50 seconds. How-
ever, the alarm reactivates if the
vehicle is tampered with again. The alarm is activated by:
.
opening any doors, the hood (if so
equipped) or liftgate without using the
key or Intelligent Key (even if the door
is unlocked by releasing the door
inside lock knob).
How to stop an activated alarm
The alarm stops only by unlocking a door
or the liftgate with the mechanical key,
pressing the UNLOCK
button on the
key fob (if so equipped) or the Intelligent

NISSAN VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER SYS-
TEM
The NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System
will not allow the engine to start without
the use of the registered key.
If the engine fails to start using the
registered key, it may be due to inter-
ference caused by another registered key,
an automated toll road device or auto-
mated payment device on the key ring.
Restart the engine using the following
procedures:
1. Leave the ignition switch in the ON
position for approximately 5 seconds. 2. Place the ignition switch in the OFF or
LOCK position and wait approximately
10 seconds.
3. Repeat step 1 and 2 again.
4. Restart the engine while holding the device (which may have caused the
interference) separate from the regis-
tered key.
If this procedure allows the engine to
start, NISSAN recommends placing the
registered key on a separate key ring
to avoid interference from other de-
vices.

3. Move the shift lever to the P (Park) position.
4. Place the ignition switch in the LOCK position.
CAUTION
To prevent transmission damage,
move the shift lever to the P (Park)
or R (Reverse) position only when the
vehicle is completely stopped.
P (Park):
Use this position when the vehicle is
parked or when starting the engine. Make
sure the vehicle is completely stopped.
The brake pedal must be depressed and
the shift lever button pushed in to move
the shift lever from N (Neutral) or any
drive position to P (Park). Apply the
parking brake. When parking on a hill,
apply the parking brake first, then move
the shift lever to the P (Park) position.
R (Reverse):
Use this position to back up. Make sure
the vehicle is completely stopped before
selecting the R (Reverse) position. The
brake pedal must be depressed and the
shift lever button pushed in to move the shift lever from P (Park), N (Neutral) or
any driving position to R (Reverse).
N (Neutral):
Neither forward nor reverse gear is en-
gaged. The engine can be started in this
position. You may shift to N (Neutral) and
restart a stalled engine while the vehicle
is moving.
D (Drive):
Use this position for all normal forward
driving.
Manual shift mode
When the shift lever is shifted from the D
(Drive) position to the manual shift gate,
the transmission enters the manual shift
mode. Shift ranges can be selected
manually by moving the shift lever up or
down.
In the manual shift mode, the shift range
is displayed on the position indicator in
the meter. Shift ranges up or down one by one as
follows:
M1
?
M2?
M3?
M4?
M5 ?
M6 ?
M7
///// /
.
When shifting up, move the shift lever
to the + (up) side. The transmission
shifts to a higher range.
. When shifting down, move the shift
lever to the − (down) side. The trans-
mission shifts to a lower range.
. Moving the shift lever to the same side
twice will shift the ranges in succes-
sion. However, if this motion is rapidly
done, the second shifting may not be
completed properly.
. When canceling the manual shift
mode, return the shift lever to the D
(Drive) position. The transmission re-
turns to the normal driving mode.
M7 (7th):
Use this position for all normal forward
driving.
However, you need to shift down the
gears manually when accelerating or
passing another vehicle.
M6 (6th) and M5 (5th):
Use these positions when driving up long
slopes, or for engine braking when driving
down long slopes.

4. Insert the mechanical key and pushdown the shift lock release.
5. Push the shift lever button and move the shift lever to the N (Neutral)
position while holding down the shift
lock release.

cover after the operation.
If the shift lever cannot be moved out of
the P (Park) position, have the CVT system
checked as soon as possible. It is recom-
mended you visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service.
WARNING
If the shift lever cannot be moved
from the P (Park) position while the
engine is running and the brake
pedal is depressed, the stop lights
may not work. Malfunctioning stop
lights could cause an accident injur-
ing yourself and others.
MANUAL TRANSMISSION (MT)
WARNING
. Do not downshift abruptly on
slippery roads. This may cause a
loss of control.
. Do not over-rev the engine when
shifting to a lower gear. This may
cause a loss of control or engine
damage.
. When the high fluid temperature
protection mode or fail-safe op-
eration occurs, vehicle speed may
be gradually reduced. The re-
duced speed may be lower than
other traffic, which could increase
the chance of a collision. Be
especially careful when driving. If
necessary, pull to the side of the
road at a safe place and allow the
transmission to return to normal
operation, or have it repaired if
necessary.
CAUTION
.Do not rest your foot on the
clutch pedal while driving. This
may damage the clutch.
. Fully depress the clutch pedal
before shifting to help prevent
transmission damage.
. Stop your vehicle completely be-
fore shifting into R (Reverse).
