P (Park):
Use this position when the vehicle is parked or when
starting the engine. Always make sure that the ve-
hicle is completely stopped before moving the shift
lever into the P (Park) position. For maximum safety,
the footbrake pedal must be depressed before mov-
ing the shift lever into the P (Park) position. Use this
position together with the parking brake. When park-
ing on a hill, first depress the footbrake pedal, apply
the parking brake and then shift into the P (Park)
position.
R (Reverse):
CAUTION
Shift into this position only after the vehicle has
completely stopped.
Use this position to reverse the vehicle.
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.
N (Neutral):
Neither forward nor reverse gear is engaged. The
engine can be started in this position. You may shift
to N and restart a stalled engine while driving the
vehicle.
D (Drive):
Use this position for all normal forward driving.
Shift lever indicator:
The shift lever indicator
jA located in the lower part
of the vehicle information display shows the current
position of the transmission.
It shows the P,R,N,D modes when the transmission
is in auto mode or the shift position when the trans-
mission is in manual mode.
Ds (Drive Sport) and Manual shift mode
When the shift lever is shifted from D (Drive) to the
manual shift gate with the vehicle stopped or while
driving, the transmission enters Ds (Drive Sport)
mode. Ds mode will provide improved acceleration
response and engine braking. Moving the shift lever
forwards and backwards allows manual shifting.
In manual shift mode, the selected gear is displayed
on the position indicator in the combination meter.
Shift ranges up or down one by one as follows:
1st ⇔ 2nd ⇔ 3rd ⇔ 4th ⇔ 5th ⇔ 6th ⇔ 7th
•
When shifting up, move the shift lever to the +
(up) side. (Shifts to higher range).
•
When shifting down, move the shift lever to the
– (down) side. (Shifts to lower range).
•
Moving the shift lever rapidly to the same side
twice will shift the ranges in succession.
•
Use the 1st position when driving slowly on steep
hills, slow driving through deep snow, sand or
mud, or for maximum engine braking on steep
downhill grades.
•
Use the 2nd, 3rd or 4th position when driving
steep hills or for engine braking on steep down-
hill grades.
•
Use the 5th position for driving up or down long
slopes.
•
Use the 6th position for all normal forward driv-
ing. However, you need to shift down the gears
when accelerating or passing another vehicle.
•
When cancelling manual shift mode, return the
shift lever to the D (Drive) position. The transmis-
sion returns to the normal driving mode.
•
In manual shift mode, the transmission may
not shift to the selected gear under certain
circumstances. This helps maintain driving
performance and reduces the chance of ve-
hicle damage or loss of control.
