Nissan 2011 Altima Coupe User Manual download pdf (Page 320)

The CVT can operate in a manual drive mode:

● M (Manual) mode - With the shift selector in

the manual shift gate Ds (Drive Sport) mode,

M (Manual) mode can be selected by mov-

ing the shift selector up (+) or down (–). In M

mode, the transmission will produce notice-

able upshifts and downshifts. The position

indicator in the meter shows a “M”.

Follow these procedures for maximum vehicle

performance and driving enjoyment.

NOTE:

Engine power may be automatically re-

duced to protect the CVT if the engine

speed increases quickly when driving on

slippery roads or while being tested on

some dynamometers.

foot brake pedal before moving the shift

tions if the ignition switch is pushed to the
