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.
OVERDRIVE (O/D) OFF SWITCH
Each time your vehicle is started, the CVT is automatically “reset” to
Overdrive on.
To turn Overdrive mode off, push the O/D OFF switch
01
.
The
light in the instrument panel will illuminate.

VEHICLE DYNAMIC CONTROL (VDC) OFF SWITCH
The Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system monitors driver inputs and vehicle
motion. Under certain conditions, it controls braking and engine output to help
the driver in handling the vehicle. VDC does not prevent accidents due to care-
less or dangerous driving techniques. Always be mindful of vehicle speed and
driving conditions. VDC may need to be temporarily shut off if you are trying to
free a vehicle stuck in snow or mud.
Push the Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) OFF switch to deactivate the
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.
The VDC system is active while the vehicle is running until the switch is pushed to turn off.
6-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION (if so equipped)
LOCK OUT
In 6-speed manual transmission equipped vehicles, the shift lever is
equipped with a Reverse Lock-Out feature that prevents accidental
selection of Reverse (instead of 1st gear).
SHIFTING TO REVERSE
Lift up on the collar just below the shift knob, then move the shift lever
left and up into R (REVERSE).
