Shift lever indicator (where fitted):
The shift lever indicator jA can help to improve the
level of environmentally friendly driving.
Following the shift lever indicator by changing to a
higher (or lower) gear whenever the UP (or DOWN)
arrow is displayed may improve fuel economy
An UP arrow suggests shifting to a higher gear, a
DOWN arrow suggests shifting to a lower gear.
However, the driver remains responsible for decid-
ing the most suitable gear according to actual ve-
hicle, road and traffic conditions.
NOTE
No arrow is displayed in some circumstances in-
cluding:
– The actual gear matches recommended gear.
– The vehicle speed is approx. 0 km/h.
Reverse gear:
To reverse, proceed as follows:
1) Stop the vehicle.
2) Move the shift lever into the N (Neutral) position.
3) Move the shift lever into the R (Reverse) posi-
tion.
4) Safely drive the vehicle backwards.
When the shift lever is in the R (Reverse) position,
the rear view monitor of the NISSAN Connect
(where fitted) will be activated. For details, see
“Around View Monitor (where fitted)” in the
“4. Heater and air conditioner, and audio system”
section.
If it is difficult to move the shift lever into R (Reverse)
or 1st. Shift into N (Neutral), then release the clutch
pedal. Fully depress the clutch pedal again and shift
into R (Reverse) or 1st.
DRIVING WITH XTRONIC
TRANSMISSION (CVT)
The Xtronic Transmission (CVT) in your vehicle is
electronically controlled to produce maximum power
and smooth operation.
The recommended operating procedures for this
transmission are shown on the following pages. Fol-
low these procedures for maximum vehicle perfor-
mance and driving enjoyment.
WARNING
Do not downshift abruptly on slippery roads. This
may cause a loss of control.
CAUTION
•
The cold engine idle speed is high, so use
caution when shifting the transmission into a
forward or reverse position before the engine
has warmed up.
•
Avoid revving up the engine while the vehicle
is stopped. This could cause unexpected ve-
hicle movement.
•
Never shift to either the P (Park) or R (Re-
verse) position while the vehicle is moving.
This could cause serious damage to the trans-
mission.
•
Except in an emergency, do not shift to the N
(Neutral) position while driving. Coasting with
the transmission in the N (Neutral) position
may cause serious damage to the transmis-
sion.
•
Start the engine in either the P (Park) or N
(Neutral) position. The engine will not start in
any other position. If it does, have your ve-
hicle checked by a NISSAN dealer or qualified
workshop.
•
Shift into the P (Park) position and apply the
parking brake when at a standstill for longer
than a short waiting period.
