WARNING

If the shift selector cannot be moved from

the P (Park) position while the engine is

running and the brake pedal is depressed,

the stop lights may not work. Malfunction-

ing stop lights could cause an accident

injuring yourself and others.

Accelerator downshift

— in D (Drive) position and manual

shift mode

For passing or hill climbing, depress the accel-

erator pedal to the floor. This shifts the transmis-

sion down into lower range, depending on the

vehicle speed.

High fluid temperature protection

mode

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, such as when towing a trailer), 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

If the vehicle is driven under extreme con-

ditions, such as excessive wheel spinning

and subsequent hard braking, the fail-safe

system may be activated. The MIL may

come on to indicate the fail-safe mode is

activated, see “Malfunction indicator light

(MIL)” in the “Instrument and controls” sec-

tion. 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

push the switch back to the ON position.

The vehicle should return to its normal op-

erating condition. If it does not return to its

normal operating condition, have a

NISSAN dealer check the transmission and

repair if necessary.

WARNING

When the high fluid temperature protec-

tion mode or fail-safe operation occurs,

vehicle speed may be gradually reduced.

The reduced speed may be lower than

other traffic, which could increase the

chance of a collision. Be especially care-

ful when driving. If necessary, pull to the

side of the road at a safe place and allow

the transmission to return to normal op-

eration, or have it repaired if necessary.
