Shift lever indicator (where fitted):
The shift lever indicator jA located in the lower part
of the vehicle information display can help to im-
prove the level of environmentally friendly driving.
Following the shift lever indicator by changing to a
higher (or lower) gear whenever the UP (or DOWN)
arrow is displayed may improve fuel economy
An UP arrow suggests shifting to a higher gear, a
down arrow suggests shifting to a lower gear.
However, the driver remains responsible for decid-
ing the most suitable gear according to actual ve-
hicle, road and traffic conditions.
NOTE
No arrow is displayed is some circumstances in-
cluding:
– The actual gear matches recommended gear
– The vehicle speed is approx. 0 km/h
Reverse gear:
To reverse with 6–speed manual transmission, pro-
ceed as follows:
1) Stop the vehicle.
2) Move the shift lever into the N (Neutral) position.
3) Pull and hold the shift lever ring
j1 up.
4) Move the shift lever into the R (Reverse) posi-
tion.
5) Release the shift lever ring and safely drive the
vehicle backwards.
The shift lever ring returns to its original position
when the shift lever is moved to the N (Neutral)
position.
When the shift lever is in the R (Reverse) position,
either the NissanConnect monitor (where fitted) or
the ultrasonic parking sensor (where fitted) will be
activated. For details, see “Rear-view monitor
(where fitted)” or “Around View Monitor (where
fitted)” in the “4. Display screen, heater and air con-
ditioner, and audio system” section or “Ultrasonic
Parking Sensors (where fitted)” later in this section.
For details, see “Ultrasonic Parking Sensors (where
fitted)” later in this section.
If it is difficult to move the shift lever into R (Reverse)
or 1st. Shift into N (Neutral), then release the clutch
pedal. Fully depress the clutch pedal again and shift
into R (Reverse) or 1st.
DRIVING WITH XTRONIC
TRANSMISSION (CVT)
CAUTION
•
The cold engine idle speed is high, so use
caution when shifting into a forward or re-
verse gear before the engine has warmed up.
•
Avoid revving up the engine while the vehicle
is stopped. This could cause unexpected ve-
hicle movement.
Driving precautions
•
Never shift to P (Park) or R (Reverse) while
the vehicle is moving, this could result in dam-
age to the transmission.
•
Except in an emergency, do not shift to the N
(Neutral) position while driving. Coasting with
the transmission in the N position may cause
serious damage to the transmission.
•
Start the engine in the P (Park) or N (Neutral)
position. The engine will not start in any other
shift lever position. If it does, have your ve-
hicle checked by a NISSAN dealer or qualified
workshop.
•
Do not depress the accelerator pedal while
shifting from P (Park) or N (Neutral) to R (Re-
verse), D (Drive) or Manual shift modes posi-
tion. Always depress the brake pedal until
shifting is completed.
