shift mode. Shift range can be selected manu-
ally.
In the manual shift mode, the shift range is
displayed on the position indicator in the meter.
Shift ranges up or down one by one as follows:

M
5 (5th):
Use this position for all normal forward driving at
highway speeds.
M
4 (4th):
Use this position when driving up long slopes, or
for engine braking when driving down long
slopes.
M
3 (3rd) and
M
2 (2nd):
Use for hill climbing or engine braking on down-
hill grades.
M
1 (1st):
Use this position when climbing steep hills
slowly or driving slowly through deep snow,
sand or mud, or for maximum engine braking on
steep downhill grades.
쐌 Remember not to drive at high speeds for
extended periods of time in lower than

range. This reduces fuel economy.
쐌 When shifting up, move the selector lever to
the + (up) side. (Shifts to higher range.)
쐌 When shifting down, move the selector lever
to the − (down) side. (Shifts to lower range.)
쐌 Moving the selector lever to the same side
twice will shift the ranges in succession.
However, if this motion is rapidly done, the
second shifting may not be completed prop-
erly.
쐌 In the manual shift mode, the transmis-
sion automatically shifts down to 1st
gear before the vehicle comes to a stop.
When accelerating again, it is necessary
to shift up to the desired range.
쐌 When canceling the manual shift mode, re-
turn the selector lever to the D position. The
transmission returns to the normal driving
mode.
쐌 In the manual shift mode, the transmis-
sion may not shift to the selected gear.
This helps maintain driving performance
and reduces the chance of vehicle dam-
age or loss of control.
Accelerator downshift
— In D position —
For passing or hill climbing, fully depress the
accelerator pedal to the floor. This shifts the
transmission down into the lower gear, depend-
ing on the vehicle speed.
Fail-safe
When fail-safe operation occurs, the automatic
transmission will be locked in 4th gear.
If the vehicle is driven under extreme con-
ditions, such as excessive wheel spinning
and subsequent 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 key
OFF and wait for 3 seconds. Then turn the
key back to the ON position. The vehicle
should return to its normal operating con-
dition. If it does not return to its normal
operating condition, have a NISSAN dealer
check the transmission and repair if neces-
sary.
