2020 NISSAN ARMADA engine

Shift ranges up or down one by one as
follows:
M1?
/M2 ?
/M3 ?
/M4 ?
/M5?
/M6 ?
/M7
M7 (7th):
Use this position for all normal forward
driving at highway speeds.
M6 (6th) andM5 (5th):
Use these positions when driving up long
slopes, or for engine braking when driving
down long slopes.
M4 (4th),M3 (3rd) andM2 (2nd):
Use these positions for hill climbing or
engine braking on downhill grades.
M1 (1st):
Use this position when climbing steep
hills slowly or driving slowly through deep
snow, or for maximum engine braking on
steep downhill grades.
. Remember not to drive at high speeds
for extended periods of time in lower
than 7th gear. This reduces fuel econ-
omy.
. Moving the shift lever rapidly to the
same side twice will shift the ranges in
succession.
. In the manual shift mode, the trans-
mission may not shift to the se-
lected gear or may automatically shift to the other gear. This helps
maintain driving performance and
reduces the chance of vehicle da-
mage or loss of control.
. When the transmission does not
shift to the selected gear, the Auto-
matic Transmission (AT) position in-
dicator light (in the vehicle
information display) will blink and
the buzzer will sound.
. In the manual shift mode, the trans-
mission automatically shifts down
to 1st gear before the vehicle comes
to a stop. When accelerating again, it
is necessary to shift up to the
desired range.
Accelerator downshift — In D (Drive)
position —
For passing or hill climbing, fully depress
the accelerator pedal to the floor. This
shifts the transmission down into the
lower gear, depending on the vehicle
speed.
Fail-safe
When the fail-safe operation occurs, note
that the transmission will be locked in any
of the forward gears according to the
condition.
If the vehicle is driven under extreme
conditions, such as excessive wheel spinning and subsequent hard braking,
the fail-safe system may be activated.
This will occur even if all electrical
circuits are functioning properly. In this
case, push the switch to the OFF posi-
tion and wait for 3 seconds. Then push
the ignition switch back to the ON
position. The vehicle should return to
its normal operating condition. If it does
not return to its normal operating con-
dition, have the transmission checked
and repaired, if necessary. It is recom-
mended you visit a NISSAN dealer for
this service.

—When the accelerator pedal is
depressed while brake control
assist is provided.
— When the ICC, I-DC, I-BSI, BSW, I-
FCW or AEB warnings sound.
— When the hazard warning flashers
are operated.
— When driving on a curve at a high
speed.
. While the I-LI system is operating,
you may hear a sound of brake
operation. This is normal and indi-
cates that the I-LI system is operat-
ing properly.

malfunctions, it will cancel automatically,
and the LDW indicator light (orange) will
illuminate.
I-LI system: When the I-LI system mal-
functions, it will be turned off automati-
cally, a beep will sound, and the LDW
indicator light (orange) will illuminate.
Action to take:
Stop the vehicle in a safe location, place
the vehicle in the P (Park) position, turn
the engine off and restart the engine. If
the LDW indicator light (orange) con-
tinues to illuminate, have the system
checked. It is recommended you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service.

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The lane camera unitfor the LDW/I-LI
systems is located above the inside
mirror.
To keep the proper operation of the LDW/
I-LI systems and prevent a system mal-
function, be sure to observe the following:
. Always keep the windshield clean.
. Do not attach a sticker (including
transparent material) or install an
accessory near the camera unit.
. Do not place reflective materials, such
as white paper or a mirror, on the
instrument panel. The reflection of
sunlight may adversely affect the
camera unit’s capability of detecting the lane markers.
. Do not strike or damage the areas
around the camera unit. Do not touch
the camera lens or remove the screw
located on the camera unit. It is
recommended you contact a NISSAN
dealer if the camera unit is damaged
due to an accident.
