. properly. When canceling the manual shift mode, return the selector lever to the D (Drive) position. The transmission returns to the normal driving mode. . M6 (6th): GUID-3448E018-0BC4-4D17-AD0E-3BB850F23C53 Use this position for all normal forward driving at highway speeds. M5 (5th): GUID-3448E018-0BC4-4D17-AD0E-3BB850F23C53 Use this position when driving up long slopes, or for engine braking when driving down long slopes. M4 (4th), M3 (3rd) and M2 (2nd): GUID-3448E018-0BC4-4D17-AD0E-3BB850F23C53 Use for hill climbing or engine braking on downhill grades. M1 (1st): GUID-3448E018-0BC4-4D17-AD0E-3BB850F23C53 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 M6 range. This reduces fuel economy. In the manual shift mode, the transmission may not shift to the selected range. This helps maintain driving performance and reduces the chance of . . vehicle damage or loss of control. When this situation occurs, the Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) position indicator light will blink and the chime will sound. In the manual shift mode, the transmission 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 extremely 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 selector lever to the D 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. High fluid temperature protection mode GUID-CE869FBC-89CE-4D62-AEC8-660F5235AF18 This transmission has a high fluid temperature protection mode. If the fluid temperature becomes too high (for example, when climbing steep grades in high temperature with heavy loads), engine power and, under some conditions, vehicle speed will be decreased automatically 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 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. . If the vehicle is driven under extreme conditions, such as excessive wheel spinning 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 Indicator Light (MIL)" (P.2-18).) 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 back to the ON position. The vehicle should return to its normal operating condition. If it does not return to its normal operating condition, have a NISSAN dealer check the transmission and repair if necessary. 5-20 Starting and driving
