2021 NISSAN ROGUE automatic transmission fluid

11. Rear seat belt warning
This warning appears for 35 seconds
after the ignition switch is placed in the
ON position.
This warning shows the status of the
three rear seat belts. When one of the rear
seat belts is buckled, the corresponding
rear seat belt indicator will appear gray.
When one of the rear seat belts is
unbuckled, the corresponding rear seat
belt indicator will appear red.
For precautions on seat belt usage, see
“Seat belts” (P.1-13).
12. Tire Pressure Low — Add Air
warning
This warning appears when the low tire
pressure warning light in the meter
illuminates and low tire pressure is de-
tected. The warning appears each time
the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position as long as the low tire pressure
warning light remains illuminated. If this
warning appears, stop the vehicle and
adjust the pressure to the recommended
COLD tire pressure shown on the Tire and
Loading Information label. (See “Low tire
pressure warning light” (P.2-18) and “Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)” (P.5-
6).)
13. Shift to P range warning
This warning appears when the driver’s
door is opened while the shift lever is in
any position other than P (Park).
If this warning appears, push the park
button to engage the P (Park) position.
An inside warning chime will also sound.
(See “Intelligent Key system” (P.3-7).)
14. CVT Malfunction Service now
warning
This warning appears when there is a
malfunction with the CVT system. If this
warning appears, have the system
checked. It is recommended that you visit
a NISSAN dealer for this service.
15. CVT hot Power reduced warning
The CVT has a high fluid temperature
protection mode. If the fluid temperature
becomes too high (for example, climbing
steep grades in high temperatures with
heavy loads, such as when towing a
trailer), engine power and, under some
conditions, vehicle speed will be de-
creased automatically to reduce the
chance of transmission damage. Vehicle
speed can be controlled with the accel-
erator pedal, but the engine and vehicle
speed may be reduced.
16. CVT Malfunction Stop safely
warning
This warning appears when there is a
malfunction with the CVT system. If this
warning appears, stop the vehicle in a
safe place. Have the system checked. It is
recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer
for this service.
17. Check position of shift lever
warning
This warning appears if the system can-
not detect the shift position. Make sure
the vehicle is placed in a position properly.
Have the system checked. It is recom-
mended you contact a NISSAN dealer for
this service.
18. When parked apply parking
brake warning
This warning appears if a malfunction
occurs in the electric shift control system.
Contact a NISSAN dealer as soon as
possible. When parking the vehicle, make
sure that the parking brake is applied. If
the parking brake is not applied, the
ignition switch may not be turned off.
Instruments and controls2-35

5-24Starting and driving
1M(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 8th gear. This reduces fuel econ-
omy.
. Pulling the same paddle shifter twice
will shift the ranges in succession.
However, if this motion is rapidly done,
the second shifting may not be com-
pleted properly.
. In the manual shift mode, the trans-
mission may not shift to the se-
lected gear. This helps maintain
driving performance and reduces
the chance of vehicle damage or
loss of control.
. When this situation occurs, the Con-
tinuously Variable Transmission
(CVT) position indicator will blink
and the chime will sound.
. In the manual shift mode, the trans-
mission may shift up automatically
to a higher range than selected if the
engine speed is too high. When the
vehicle speed decreases, the trans-
mission automatically shifts down
and shifts to 1st gear before the
vehicle comes to a stop. .
CVT operation is limited to automatic
drive mode when CVT fluid tempera-
ture is extremely low even if manual
shift mode is selected. This is not a
malfunction. When CVT fluid warms
up, manual shift mode can be se-
lected.
. When the CVT fluid temperature is
high, the shift range may upshift in
lower rpm than usual. This is not a
malfunction.
Accelerator downshift - in D (Drive)
position -
For passing or climbing hills, depress the
accelerator pedal to the floor. This shifts
the transmission down into a lower gear,
depending on the vehicle speed.
High fluid temperature protection
mode
This transmission has a high fluid tem-
perature protection mode. If the fluid
temperature becomes too high, (for ex-
ample, when climbing steep grades in
high temperatures with heavy loads, such
as when towing a trailer), engine power
and, under some conditions, vehicle
speed will be decreased automatically to
reduce the chance of transmission da-
mage. Vehicle speed can be controlled
with the accelerator pedal, but the engine and vehicle speed may be limited.
Fail-safe
When the fail-safe operation occurs, the
Continuously Variable Transmission will
not be shifted into the selected driving
position.
If the vehicle is driven under extreme
conditions, such as excessive wheel
spinning and subsequent hard braking,
the fail-safe system may be activated.
The Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
may come on to indicate the fail-safe
mode is activated. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL)” (P.2-19). This will occur even
if all electrical circuits are functioning
properly. In this case, place the ignition
switch in the OFF position and wait for
10 seconds. Then place the ignition
switch back in the ON position. The
vehicle should return to its normal
operating condition. (The MIL may be
illuminated even when the vehicle has
returned to its normal operating condi-
tion.) If it does not return to its normal
operating condition, have the transmis-
sion checked and repaired, if necessary,
by a NISSAN dealer.

WARNING
When the high fluid temperature
protection mode or fail-safe opera-
tion occurs, vehicle speed may be
gradually reduced. The reduced
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.
WARNING
.Never drive the vehicle with the
parking brake applied. The brake
will overheat and fail to operate
and will lead to an accident.
. Never release the parking brake
from outside the vehicle. If the
vehicle moves, it will be impossi-
ble to push the foot brake pedal
and will lead to an accident.
. Never use the shift lever in place
of the parking brake. When park-
ing, be sure the parking brake is
fully applied.
. To help avoid risk of injury or
death through unintended opera-
tion of the vehicle and/or its
systems, do not leave children,
people who require the assis-
tance of others or pets unat-
tended in your vehicle.
Additionally, the temperature in-
side a closed vehicle on a warm
day can quickly become high
enough to cause a significant risk
of injury or death to people and
pets.

6. Coat the gasket on the new filter with clean engine oil.
7. Screw in the oil filter clockwise until a slight resistance is felt, then tighten
additionally more than 2/3 turn.
Oil filter tightening torque:11 to 15 ft-lb
(14.7 to 20.6 N·m)
8. Clean and re-install the drain plug with a new washer. Securely tighten
the drain plug with a wrench.
Drain plug tightening torque:
22 to 29 ft-lb
(29.4 to 39.2 N·m)
Do not use excessive force.
9. Refill the engine with the recom- mended oil through the oil filler open-
ing, and install the oil filler cap
securely.
See “Capacities and recommended
fluids/lubricants” (P.10-3) for drain
and refill capacity. The drain and refill
capacity depends on the oil tempera-
ture and drain time. Use these speci-
fications for reference only. Always
use the dipstick to determine the
proper amount of oil in the engine. 10. Start the engine and check for leak-
age around the drain plug and the oil
filter. Correct as required.
11. Turn the engine off and wait more than 10 minutes. Check the oil level
with the dipstick. Add engine oil if
necessary.
After the operation
1. Reinstall undercover in reverse orderof removal.
2. Lower the vehicle carefully to the ground.
3. Reset the Oil Control System (if so equipped) and oil and filter mainte-
nance reminder. (See “Maintenance”
(P.2-29).) When checking or replacement is re-
quired, we recommend a NISSAN dealer
for servicing.
