If the battery charge is low or discharged, the shift
lever may not be moved from the P (Park) position
even with the brake pedal depressed and the shift
lever button pushed.
To move the shift lever, perform the following proce-
dure:
1. Place the ignition switch in the “OFF” or LOCK
position.
2. Apply the parking brake.
3. Depress the shift lock release button
jC.
4. Push the shift lever button and move the shift
lever to the N (Neutral) position while holding
down the shift lock release.
Place the ignition switch in the ON position to un-
lock the steering wheel. The vehicle may be moved
to the desired location.
If the battery is discharged completely, the steering
wheel cannot be unlocked. Do not move the vehicle
with the steering wheel locked.
If the shift lever cannot be moved out of the P (Park)
position, have a NISSAN dealer or qualified work-
shop check the Xtronic transmission system as soon
as possible.
WARNING
If the shift lever cannot be moved from the P
(Park) position while the engine is running and
the brake pedal is depressed, the stop lights may
not work. Malfunctioning stop lights could cause
an accident injuring yourself and others.
High fluid temperature protection mode
This transmission has a high fluid temperature pro-
tection mode. If the fluid temperature becomes too
high (for example, when climbing steep grades in
high temperature with heavy loads, such as when
towing a trailer), engine power and, under some
conditions, vehicle speed will be decreased auto-
matically to reduce the chance of transmission dam-
age. Vehicle speed can be controlled with the ac-
celerator pedal, but engine and vehicle speed may
be limited.
Fail-safe
When the fail-safe operation occurs, the Xtronic
Transmission will not be shifted to the selected driv-
ing position.
If the vehicle is driven under extreme conditions,
such as excessive wheel spinning and subse-
quent 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 10 seconds. Then turn the ignition switch back
to the ON position. The vehicle should return to
its normal operating condition. If it does not re-
turn to its normal operating condition, have a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop check the
transmission and repair it if necessary.
WARNING
When the fail-safe operation occurs, vehicle
speed may be gradually reduced. The reduced
speed may be lower than other traffic, which
could increase the chance of a collision. Be es-
pecially careful when driving. If necessary, pull to
the side of the road at a safe place and allow the
transmission to return to normal operation, or
have it repaired if necessary.
