When this situation occurs, the Con-
tinuously Variable Transmission (CVT)
position indicator light will blink and
the chime will sound.
In the manual shift mode, the trans-
mission may shift up automatically to
a higher range than selected if the
engine speed is too high. When the
vehicle speed decreases, the trans-
mission automatically shifts down
and shifts to 1st gear before the ve-
hicle comes to a stop.
CVT operation is limited to automatic
drive mode when CVT fluid tempera-
ture is extremely low even if manual
shift mode is selected. This is not a mal-
function. When CVT fluid warms up,
manual mode can be selected.
When the CVT fluid temperature is high,
the shift range may upshift in lower
rpm than usual. This is not a malfunc-
tion.
Shift lock release
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
pressed.
It will be necessary to jump start or have
your battery charged. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Jump starting” in the “In
case of emergency section of this manual.
It is recommended that you contact a
NISSAN dealer or a professional towing ser-
vice.
To move the shift lever, complete the fol-
lowing procedure:
1. Push the ignition switch to the LOCK
position.
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. Insert the small screwdriver in the shift
lock release slot and push down.
5. Move the shift lever to the N (Neutral)
position while holding down the shift
lock release.
6. Push the ignition switch to the ON po-
sition to unlock the steering wheel.
Now the vehicle may be moved to the
desired location.
If the shift lever cannot be moved out of P
(Park), have the transmission checked as
soon as possible. It is recommended that
you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
