Shift lock release
If the battery is discharged, the shift lever
may not be moved from the P (Park) posi-
tion even with the foot brake pedal de-
pressed.
To move the shift lever, perform the follow-
ing procedure:
1. Place the ignition switch in the LOCK
position and remove the key.
2. Apply the parking brake.
3. Using a protective cloth on the tip of a
3 mm screwdriver, remove the shift
lock release cover.
∙ If available, a plastic trim tool can also
be used.
4. Push down the shift lock release using
a suitable tool.
5. Press the shift lever button and move
the shift lever to the N (Neutral) position
while holding down the shift lock re-
lease.
6. Place the ignition switch in the ON po-
sition to unlock the steering wheel.
7. Release the parking brake.
The vehicle may be moved to the desired
location.
Replace the removed shift lock release
cover after the operation.
If the shift lever cannot be moved out of the
P (Park) position, have the Continuously
Variable Transmission system checked as
soon as possible. It is recommended that
you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
Overdrive (O/D) OFF switch (if so
equipped)
When the O/D OFF switch is pushed with
the shift lever in the D (Drive) position,
the
light in the instrument panel illu-
minates. For additional information, refer
to “Overdrive OFF indicator light” in the “In-
struments and controls” section of this

Use the overdrive OFF mode when you
need improved engine braking.
To turn off the overdrive OFF mode, push
the O/D OFF switch again. The
