WITH DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION
(DCT)
T32A130827-F7C5BDAC-B708-41F7-9A32-F14C17BDCDAE
The Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT)/
Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) in your vehicle
is electronically controlled to produce max-
imum power and smooth operation.
The recommended operating procedures for
this transmission are shown on the following
pages. Follow these procedures for maximum
vehicle performance and driving enjoyment.
WARNING:
Do not downshift abruptly on slippery roads.
This may cause a loss of control.
CAUTION:
. The cold engine idle speed is high, so use
caution when shifting the transmission
into a forward or reverse position before
the engine has warmed up.
. Avoid revving up the engine while the
vehicle is stopped. This could cause un-
expected vehicle movement.
. Never shift to either the “P” (Park) or “R”
(Reverse) position while the vehicle is
moving forward and “P” (Park) or “D”
(Drive) position while the vehicle is rever-
sing. This could cause an accident or
damage the transmission.
. Start the engine in either the “P” (Park) or
“N” (Neutral) position. The engine will not
start in any other position. If it does, have
your vehicle checked by a NISSAN dealer.
. Except in an emergency, do not shift to
the “N” (Neutral) position while driving.
Coasting with the transmission in the “N”
(Neutral) position may cause serious da-
mage to the transmission.
. Shift into the “P” (Park) position and apply
the parking brake when at a standstill for
longer than a short waiting period.
. Keep the engine at idling speed while
shifting from the “N” (Neutral) position to
any driving position.
. When stopping the vehicle on an uphill
grade, do not hold the vehicle by depres-
sing the accelerator pedal. The foot brake
pedal should be depressed in this situa-
tion.
Starting vehicle

1. After starting the engine, fully depress the
foot brake pedal before moving the shift
lever out of the “P” (Park) position.
2. Keep the foot brake pedal depressed and
move the shift lever to a driving position.
3. Release the parking brake, the foot brake
pedal, and then gradually start the vehicle
in motion.
The CVT/DCT is designed so the foot brake
pedal MUST be depressed before shifting
from the “P” (Park) position to any driving
position while the ignition switch is in the
“ON” position.
The shift lever cannot be moved out of the
“P” (Park) position and into any of the other
positions if the ignition switch is placed in the
“LOCK”, “OFF” or “ACC” position.
CAUTION:
. DEPRESS THE FOOT BRAKE PEDAL - Shift-
ing the shift lever to “D”, “Ds”, “R”, “L” or
manual shift mode without depressing
the foot brake pedal causes the vehicle to
move slowly when the engine is running.
Make sure the foot brake pedal is de-
pressed fully and the vehicle is stopped
before shifting the shift lever.
. MAKE SURE OF THE SHIFT LEVER POSI-
TION - Make sure the shift lever is in the
desired position. “D”, “Ds”, “L” and manual
shift mode are used to move forward and
“R” to back up.
. WARM UP THE ENGINE - Due to the higher
idle speeds when the engine is cold, extra
caution must be exercised when shifting
the shift lever into the driving position
immediately after starting the engine.
