. Avoid revving upthe engine whilethe
vehicle isstopped. Thiscould cause unex-
pected vehicle movement.
. Never shifttoeither theªPº (Park) orªRº
(Reverse) positionwhilethevehicle ismov-
ing. This could cause serious damage tothe
transmission.
. Except inan emergency, donot shift tothe
ªNº (Neutral) positionwhiledriving. Coast-
ing with thetransmission inthe ªNº (Neutral)
position maycause serious damage tothe

When thefail-safe operation occurs,theCVT willnot
be shifted tothe selected drivingposition.
If the vehicle isdriven underextreme conditions,
such asexcessive wheelspinning andsubse-

circuits arefunctioning properly.Inthis case,
place theignition switchinthe ªOFFº position
and wait for10seconds. Thenturntheignition
switch backtothe ªONº position. Thevehicle
should returntoits normal operating condition.
If itdoes notreturn toits normal operating
condition, haveaNISSAN dealercheckthe
