CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION (CVT)
After starting the engine, fully depress the brake pedal. Move
the shift lever out of the P (PARK) position. The CVT can
operate in two different automatic drive modes:
D (Drive) mode - When the shift lever is moved to D (Drive),
the transmission is in the normal forward automatic driving
mode. The position indicator in the meter shows a “D.” The
D (Drive) mode does not produce a gear change sensation
like a traditional automatic transmission.
Ds (Drive Sport) mode - Move the shift lever from D (Drive)
to the left into the manual shift gate. The position indicator
in the meter shows a “Ds”. In Ds (Drive Sport) mode,
transmission operation changes to “Sporty” driving shift operation, creating a more aggressive
acceleration feeling than the D (Drive) mode and a gear change sensation when the driver
accelerates quickly. When the driver selects M (Manual) mode ratio with the shift lever during
Ds (Drive Sport) mode operation, the driver must move the shift lever from Ds mode to D
mode and back again to re-select Ds (Drive Sport) mode.

NOTE: The transmission in your vehicle requires a special fluid available only at your NISSAN
dealer. No other fluid will meet the exact requirements of the CVT.
MANUAL SHIFT MODE
When the shift lever is shifted from D (DRIVE) to the manual shift gate, the transmission enters
the manual shift mode.
When shifting up, move the shift lever to the + (up) side (shifts to higher range).
When shifting down, move the shift lever to the – (down) side (shifts to lower range).
In manual shift mode, the position indicator in the meter shows one of the following:
“M1,” “M2,” “M3,” “M4,” “M5” or “M6.”
In manual shift mode, the transmission automatically shifts down to M1 (FIRST) before the
vehicle comes to a stop. When accelerating again, it is necessary to shift to the desired range.
When canceling the manual shift mode, return the shift lever to the D (DRIVE) position. The
transmission returns to the normal driving mode.
