CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION (CVT) (if so equipped)
The CVT does not produce a gear change sensation like traditional
automatic transmissions.
R (REVERSE) speed for CVT vehicles is limited to 15 MPH (24 km/h).
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.

motion. Under certain conditions, it controls braking and engine output to help

driving conditions. VDC may need to be temporarily shut off if you are trying to
free a vehicle stuck in snow or mud.

VDC system. The
light will illuminate in the instrument panel gauge area.
Push the Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) OFF switch again to activate the VDC system. The
light will turn off in the instrument panel gauge area.

left and up into R (REVERSE).
