Overdrive switch

Each time the engine is started, the overdrive function
is automatically reset to “ON”.
“ON” position:
GUID-896AA31A-81D 0-4E9B-81ED-1F58D53AA854
With the engine running and the selector lever in the
“D” (Drive) position, push the overdrive switch to the
“ON” position. The transmission upshifts into overdrive
as vehicle speed increases.
Overdrive does not engage until the engine has
reached operating temperature.
“OFF” position:
GUID-896AA31A-81D 0-4E9B-81ED-1F58D53AA854
For driving up and down long slopes where engine
braking is necessary, push the overdrive switch to the
“OFF” position. The overdrive off indicator light
in
the meter panel illuminates.
When cruising at a low speed or climbing a gentle
slope, you may feel uncomfortable shift shocks as the
transmission shifts into and out of overdrive repeatedly.
In this case, push the overdrive switch to the “OFF”
position.
When driving conditions change, push the overdrive
switch to the “ON” position. The overdrive off indicator
light will turn off.
Remember not to drive at high speeds for extended
periods of time with the overdrive switch in the “OFF”
position. This reduces fuel economy.
Accelerator downshift - in “D” position -
GUID-4A58ACE5-354A-4F69-9A0E-56D4266B0467
For passing or climbing hills, depress the accelerator
pedal to the floor. This shifts the transmission down
into a lower gear, depending on the vehicle speed.
Shift lock release
GUID-34039583-EF06-4596-B5A9-819CC67B6C6E
JVS0129X
If the battery is discharged, the selector lever may not
be moved from the “P” (Park) position even with the
foot brake pedal depressed.
To release the shift lock, perform the following
procedure:
1. Turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” position
and remove the key.
2. Apply the parking brake.
3. Depress the shift lock release button.
4. Push and hold the selector lever button and move
the selector lever to the “N” (Neutral) position
while holding down the shift lock release button.
5. Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” position to
release the steering wheel lock.
The vehicle may be moved, by pushing, to the desired
location.
If the selector lever cannot be moved out of the “P”
(Park) position, have a NISSAN dealer check the AT
system as soon as possible.
Fail-safe
GUID-0496DAF8-935 3-4FBD-97F9-C0C7361859B6
When the fail-safe operation occurs, the AT will be
locked in fourth gear.
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
circuits are functioning properly. In this case,
turn the ignition switch off and wait for 3
seconds. Then turn the ignition switch back to
the “ON” position. The vehicle should return to
its normal operating condition. If it does not
return to its normal operating condition, have a
NISSAN dealer check the transmission and
repair it if necessary.
