5-8 Starting and driving
CAUTION:
. Do not operate the starter for more than 15
seconds at a time. If the engine does not
start, turn the ignition switch off and wait 20
seconds before cranking the engine again.
Otherwise, the starter could be damaged.
. If it becomes necessary to start the engine
with a booster battery and jumper cables,
the instructions and cautions contained in
the “6. In case of emergency” section should
be carefully followed.
7. Allow the engine to idle for at least 30 seconds
after starting the engine to warm-up. Drive at
moderate speeds for a short distance first,
especially in cold weather.
CAUTION:
Do not leave the vehicle unattended while the
engine is warming up.

DRIVING WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMIS-
SION (AT)
GUID-78AABAFD-DA83-41C6-8D2F-11C438F2E0CE
The Automatic Transmission (AT) 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. Follow
these procedures for maximum vehicle performance
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 unex-
pected vehicle movement.
. Never shift to either the “P” (Park) or “R”
(Reverse) position while the vehicle is mov-
ing. This could cause serious damage to the
transmission.
. Except in an emergency, do not shift to the
“N” (Neutral) position while driving. Doing
so can cause a loss of engine braking which
may result in a collision, serious personal
injury or death. In addition, 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 vehicle checked by a NISSAN dealer.
. Shift into the “P” (Park) position and apply
the parking brake when at a standstill for
longer than a short waiting period.
. Keep the engine at idling speed while
shifting from the “N” (Neutral) position to
any driving position.
. When stopping the vehicle on an uphill
grade, do not hold the vehicle by depressing
the accelerator pedal. The foot brake pedal
should be depressed in this situation.
Starting vehicle
GUID-55D8CFD2-41 41-4732-B9D4-65AB1F41C173
1. After starting the engine, fully depress the foot
brake pedal before shifting the selector lever out
of the “P” (Park) position.
2. Keep the foot brake pedal depressed and move
the selector lever to a driving position.
3. Release the parking brake, the foot brake pedal,
and then gradually start the vehicle in motion.
The AT is designed so the foot brake pedal
MUST be depressed before shifting from the “P”
(Park) position to any driving position while the
ignition switch is in the “ON” position.
The selector lever cannot be moved out of the
“P” (Park) position and into any of the other
positions if the ignition switch is turned to the
“LOCK”, “OFF” or “ACC” position or if the key is
removed.
