after a short period of time. If you want to
return to the D (Drive) position manually, pull
and hold the paddle shifter for about 1.5
seconds.
M7 (7th) (except for NISMO RS models):
GUID-F83C168B-173D-4313-B631-F712588C0463
M8 (8th) (NISMO RS models):
GUID-F83C168B-173D-4313-B631-F712588C0463
Use this position for all normal forward driving at
highway speeds.
M6 (6th) and M5 (5th) (except for NISMO
RS models):
GUID-F83C168B-173D-4313-B631-F712588C0463
M7 (7th) and M6 (6th) (NISMO RS models):
GUID-F83C168B-173D-4313-B631-F712588C0463
Use these positions when driving up long
slopes, or for engine braking when driving down
long slopes.
M4 (4th), M3 (3rd) and M2 (2nd) (except for
NISMO RS models):
GUID-F83C168B-173D-4313-B631-F712588C0463
M5 (5th), M4 (4th), M3 (3rd) and M2 (2nd)
(NISMO RS models):
GUID-F83C168B-173D-4313-B631-F712588C0463
Use these positions for hill climbing or engine
braking on downhill grades.
M1 (1st):
GUID-F83C168B-173D-4313-B631-F712588C0463
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.
. Remember not to drive at high speeds for
extended periods of time in lower than M7
(except for NISMO RS models) or M8
(NISMO RS models) range. This reduces
fuel economy.
. In the manual shift mode, the transmis-
sion may not shift to the selected
range. This helps maintain driving per-
formance and reduces the chance of
vehicle damage or loss of control.
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 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.
. When the CVT fluid temperature is extre-
mely low, the manual shift mode may not
work and automatically shift as a drive mode.
This is not a malfunction. In this case, return
the shift lever to the D (Drive) position and
drive for a while and then shift to the manual
shift mode.
. When the CVT fluid temperature is high, the
shift range may upshift at a lower engine
speed than usual. This is not a malfunction.
Accelerator downshift — In D position —
GUID-BF3E06A6-2637-42C1-966D-5E30031CA744
For passing or hill climbing, fully depress the
accelerator pedal to the floor. This shifts the
transmission down into a lower gear, depending
on the vehicle speed.
High fluid temperature protection mode
GUID-CE869FBC-89CE-4D62-AEC8-660F5235AF18
This transmission has a high fluid temperature
protection mode. If the fluid temperature be-
comes too high (for example, when climbing
steep grades in high temperature with heavy
loads), engine power and, under some condi-
tions, vehicle speed will be decreased auto-
matically to reduce the chance of transmission
damage. Vehicle speed can be controlled with
the accelerator pedal, but the engine and vehicle
speed may be limited.
Fail-safe
GUID-EA910347-92E1-44D4-9256-120D487E42CA
If the vehicle is driven under extreme
conditions, such as excessive wheel spin-
ning and subsequent hard braking, the
fail-safe system may be activated. The MIL
may illuminate to indicate the fail-safe
mode is activated. (See “Malfunction In-
dicator Light (MIL)” (P.2-22).) This will
occur even if all electrical circuits are
functioning properly. In this case, place
the ignition switch in the OFF position and
wait for 10 seconds. Then turn the switch
