REMOTE ENGINE START (if so
equipped)

Vehicles started with the Remote Engine
Start require the ignition switch to be
placed in the ON position before the shift
lever can be moved from the P (Park) posi-
tion. To place the ignition switch in the ON
position, follow these steps:

1. Make sure that the Intelligent Key is on

you.

2. Apply the brake.

3. Push the ignition switch once to the ON

position.

For additional information, see “NISSAN In-
telligent Key®” (P. 3-2).

ENGINE PROTECTION MODE

The engine has an engine protection mode
to reduce the chance of damage if the
coolant temperature becomes too high
(for example, when climbing steep grades
in high temperatures with heavy loads,
such as when towing a trailer). When the
engine temperature reaches a certain
level:
• The engine coolant temperature gauge

will move toward the H position.

• Engine power may be reduced.
• The air conditioning cooling function may

be automatically turned off for a short
time (the blower will continue to operate).

Engine power and, under some conditions,
vehicle speed will decrease. Vehicle speed
can be controlled with the accelerator
pedal, but the vehicle may not accelerate at
the desired speed. The transmission will
downshift or upshift as it reaches pre-
scribed shift points. You can also shift
manually.

As driving conditions change and engine
coolant temperature is reduced, vehicle
speed can be increased using the accel-
erator pedal, and the air conditioning cool-
ing function will automatically be turned
back on.

The Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) may
also come on if the engine coolant tem-
perature is not reduced or the air condi-
tioning cooling function does not turn back
on. If

only

it remains on, you do not need to

have your vehicle towed, but have it in-
spected soon. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this service. For
additional information, see “Malfunction In-
dicator Light (MIL)” (P. 2-20).

WARNING

Overheating can result in reduced en-
gine power and vehicle speed. The re-
duced speed may be lower than other
traffic, which could increase the chance
of a collision. Be especially careful
when driving. If the vehicle cannot
maintain a safe driving speed, pull to
the side of the road in a safe area. Allow
the engine to cool and return to normal
operation. For additional information,
see “If your vehicle overheats” (P. 6-12).

DRIVING THE VEHICLE

5-18

Starting and driving

CAUTION

Running the engine with the engine oil
pressure warning light on could cause
serious damage to the engine almost
immediately. Such damage is not cov-
ered by warranty. Turn off the engine as
soon as it is safe to do so.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (A/T)

WARNING

•

Do not depress the accelerator pedal
while shifting from P (Park) or N (Neu-
tral) to R (Reverse) or D (Drive). Always
depress the brake pedal until shifting
is completed. Failure to do so could
cause you to lose control and have an
accident.

•

Cold engine idle speed is high, so use
caution when shifting into a forward
or reverse gear before the engine has
warmed up.

•

Never shift to either the P (Park) or R
(Reverse) position while the vehicle is
moving forward and P (Park) or D
(Drive) position while the vehicle is
reversing. This could cause an acci-
dent or damage the transmission.

•

Except in an emergency, do not shift
to the N (Neutral) position while driv-
ing. Coasting with the transmission
in the N (Neutral) position may cause
serious damage to the transmission.

•

Do not downshift abruptly on slip-
pery roads. This may cause a loss of
control.

CAUTION

To avoid possible damage to your ve-
hicle, when stopping the vehicle on an
uphill grade, do not hold the vehicle by
depressing the accelerator pedal. The
foot brake should be used for this
purpose.

The A/T in your vehicle is electronically con-
trolled to produce maximum power and
smooth operation.

The recommended operating procedures
for this transmission are shown on the fol-
lowing pages. Follow these procedures for
maximum vehicle performance and driv-
ing enjoyment.

pedal

After starting the engine, fully depress the
brake pedal and move the shift lever out of
the P (Park) position.

WARNING

Apply the parking brake if the shift le-
ver is in any position while the engine is
not running. Failure to do so could
cause the vehicle to move unexpect-
edly or roll away and result in serious
personal injury or property damage.

If the ignition switch is placed in the OFF or
ACC position for any reason while the ve-
hicle is in N (Neutral), or any D (Drive) posi-
tion, the ignition switch cannot be placed in
the LOCK position. Move the shift lever to
the P (Park) position, then the ignition
switch can be placed in the LOCK position.

P (Park)

CAUTION

To prevent transmission damage, use
the P (Park) position only when the ve-
hicle is completely stopped.

Use the P (Park) shift lever position when
the vehicle is parked or when starting the
engine. Make sure the vehicle is completely
stopped.

The brake pedal should be depressed to
move the shift lever from N (Neutral) or
any drive position to P (Park).

When shifting up

Push the shift switch to the + (up) side.
(Shifts to higher range.)

When shifting down

Push the shift switch to the − (down) side.
(Shifts to lower range.)
• The

transmission

will

automatically

downshift the gears. (For example, if you
select the 3rd range, the transmission will
shift down between the 3rd and 1st
gears.)

• Pushing the shift switch rapidly will shift

the ranges in succession.

When canceling the manual shift mode

Press and hold the +(UP) button to return
the transmission to the normal driving
mode.

5-22

Starting and driving

•

In the manual shift mode, the trans-
mission may not shift to the selected
gear immediately because of vehicle
speed. The transmission will upshift or
downshift

when

vehicle

speed

matches the programmed transmis-
sion shift points. This helps maintain
driving performance and reduces the
chance of vehicle damage or loss of
control.

•

In the manual shift mode, the trans-
mission will not upshift to a higher
gear than is manually selected. When
the vehicle speed decreases, the trans-
mission automatically shifts down and
shifts to 1st gear before the vehicle
comes to a stop.

Accelerator downshift
— in D (Drive) position —

For passing or hill climbing, depress the
accelerator pedal to the floor. This shifts
the transmission down into a lower gear,
depending on the vehicle speed.

Fail-safe

When the fail-safe operation occurs, please
note that the transmission will be locked in
any of the forward gears according to the
condition.

If the vehicle is driven under extreme
conditions, such as excessive wheel
spinning and subsequent hard braking,
the fail-safe system may be activated.
This will occur even if all electrical cir-
cuits are functioning properly. In this
case, place the ignition switch in the OFF
position and wait for 3 seconds. Then
place the ignition switch back in the ON
position. The vehicle should return to its
normal operating condition. If it does not
return to its normal operating condition,
have the transmission checked and re-
paired, if necessary. It is recommended
that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service.

WARNING

•

Be sure the parking brake is fully re-
leased before driving. Failure to do so
can cause brake failure and lead to
an accident.

•

Do not release the parking brake
from outside the vehicle.

•

Do not use the shift lever in place of
the parking brake. When parking, be
sure

the

parking

brake

fully

engaged.

•

To help avoid risk of injury or death
through unintended operation of the
vehicle and/or its systems, do not
leave children, people who require
the assistance of others or pets unat-
tended in your vehicle. Additionally,
the temperature inside a closed ve-
hicle on a warm day can quickly be-
come high enough to cause a signifi-
cant risk of injury or death to people
and pets.

The TSR system provides the driver with
information about the most recently de-
tected speed limit. The system captures
the road sign information with the multi-
sensing front camera unit

located on

the windshield in front of the inside rear-
view mirror and displays the detected
signs in the vehicle information display. For
vehicles equipped with a navigation sys-
tem, the speed limit displayed is based on a
combination of navigation system data
and live camera recognition.

TSR information is always displayed at the
top of the vehicle information display, and
optionally in the main central area of the
display screen.

WARNING

The TSR system is only intended to be a
support device to help provide the
driver with information. It is not a re-
placement for the driver’s attention to
traffic conditions or responsibility to
drive safely. It cannot prevent acci-
dents due to carelessness. It is the driv-
er’s responsibility to stay alert and
drive safely at all times.
