Neither the forward nor reverse gear is
engaged. The engine can be started in
this position. You may shift to the N
(Neutral) position and restart a stalled
engine while the vehicle is moving.
You can select this position by holding
the shift lever at this position for 0.5
seconds.
D (Drive):
Use this position for all normal forward
driving. The CVT changes gears automa-
tically. All forward gears are available.If
the vehicle is placed in the D (Drive)
position while the vehicle is reversing,
the chime will sound and the vehicle will
switch into the N (Neutral) position.
Neutral hold mode function
This function enables you to turn off the
engine with the vehicle in the N (Neutral)
position. While this function is activated,
the vehicle can be moved by pushing with
hand (when car washing) even if the
ignition switch is in the OFF position.
When using this function, release the
electronic parking brake.
WARNING
. Use this function on a level sur-
face only. Failure to do so may
cause the vehicle to move acci-
dentally and could result in a
collision or serious personal in-
jury.
. Do not use this function for a
purpose other than car washing.
. When the ignition switch is placed
in the ON position after activating
this function, depress the brake
pedal to stop the vehicle because
the shift lever is in the N (Neutral)
position.
. If this function is not activated
regardless of proper operation,
transmission may malfunction. It
is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service.
To activate the Neutral hold mode, per-
form the following operations.
1. Push the ignition switch to start the engine.
2. Release the electronic parking brake.
3. Depress and hold the brake pedal. 4. Push the P position switch.
5. Slide the shift lever to the N (Neutral)
position, and hold it for 0.5 second
until “N” appears in the vehicle infor-
mation display.
6. Slide the shift lever to the N (Neutral) position again, and hold it for 0.5
second, until a message “Neutral Hold
Mode has been activated” appears in
the vehicle information display. (See
“66. Neutral Hold Mode activated in-
dicator” (P.2-42).)
7. Place the ignition switch in the OFF position. The engine will turn off with
holding the N (Neutral) position.
To exit the Neutral hold mode, place the
vehicle in other than N (Neutral) position.
NOTE:
. It is necessary to perform the steps
4 through 6 within approximately 5
seconds to prevent incorrect opera-
tion.
. When the ignition switch is placed in
the OFF position while the shift lever
is in the N (Neutral) position, a
message will appear in the vehicle
information display. (See “65. Neu-
tral Hold Mode guidance indicator”
(P.2-42).)
. If the Neutral hold mode is unavail-
able, a message will appear in the
vehicle information display. (See “67.
Neutral Hold Mode was not activated
indicator” (P.2-42).) To activate the
Neutral hold mode, wait for a while
without shifting operation and then
perform the operations again.

Manual shift mode
When the shift lever is moved to the D
(Drive) position again with the vehicle in
the D (Drive) position while driving, the
transmission enters the manual shift
mode. Shift range can be selected manu-
ally using the paddle shifters on the
steering wheel.
When shifting up, pull the right-side
paddle shifter (+)
. The transmission
shifts to the higher range.
When shifting down, pull the left-side
paddle shifter (−)
. The transmission
shifts to the lower range.
When canceling the manual shift mode, move the shift lever to the D (Drive)
position again. The transmission returns
to the normal driving mode.
When you pull the paddle shifter while in
the D (Drive) position, the transmission
will shift to the upper or lower range
temporarily. The transmission will auto-
matically return to the D (Drive) position
after a short period of time. If you want to
return to the D (Drive) position manually,
pull and hold the paddle shifter for about
1.5 seconds.
In the manual shift mode, the shift range
is displayed in the vehicle information
display.
Shift ranges up or down one by one as
follows:
1M?

The automatic brake hold function main-
tains the braking force without the driver
having to depress the brake pedal when
the vehicle is stopped at a traffic light or
intersection. As soon as the driver de-
presses the accelerator pedal again, the
automatic brake hold function is deacti-
vated and the braking force is released.
The operating status of the automatic
brake hold can be displayed on the
vehicle information display.
WARNING
.The automatic brake hold func-
tion is not designed to hold the
vehicle on a steep hill or slippery
road. Never use the automatic
brake hold when the vehicle is
stopped on a steep hill or slippery
road. Failure to do so may cause
the vehicle to move.
. The automatic brake hold warn-
ing may appear in the vehicle
information display to request
that the driver retake control by
depressing the brake pedal.
. When the automatic brake hold
function is activated but fails to
maintain the vehicle at a stand-
still, depress the brake pedal to
stop the vehicle. If the vehicle unexpectedly moves due to out-
side conditions, the chime may
sound and automatic brake hold
warning may illuminate in the
vehicle information display.
. Be sure to deactivate the auto-
matic brake hold function when
using a car wash or towing your
vehicle.
. Make sure to push the park but-
ton to shift to the P (Park) posi-
tion and apply the electronic
parking brake when parking your
vehicle, riding on or off the vehi-
cle, or loading luggage. Failure to
do so could cause the vehicle to
move or roll away unexpectedly
and result in serious personal
injury or property damage.
. If any of the following conditions
occur, the automatic brake hold
function may not function. Have
the system checked promptly. It
is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service.
Failure to operate the vehicle in
accordance with these conditions
could cause the vehicle to move
or roll away unexpectedly and
result in serious personal injury
or property damage. — A warning message appears
in the vehicle information dis-
play.
— The indicator light on the automatic brake hold switch
does not illuminate when the
switch is pushed.
. The automatic brake hold func-
tion will not be activated if the
slip indicator light, electronic
parking brake system warning
light or master warning light illu-
minates and the Chassis Control
System Error warning message
appears in the vehicle informa-
tion display.
. To maintain the braking force to
keep the vehicle to a standstill, a
noise may be heard. This is not a
malfunction.

OFF-ROAD MODE (AWD models)
Allows for easier driving or starting on a
bumpy road surface such as an uneven
dirt road or a steep uphill slope or
through sand.
CAUTION
Never drive on dry, hard surface
roads in the OFF-ROAD mode, as this
will overload the powertrain and
may cause a serious malfunction.
Additionally, this will cause prema-
ture tire wear and reduced fuel
economy.
When the OFF-ROAD mode is selected,
small tight-corner braking phenomenon
or small vibration in cornering may occur.
This is not a malfunction.
