NISSAN ROGUE 2009 - Manual (Page 13)

CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION (CVT)
Ⅲ The CVT does not produce a gear change sensation
like traditional automatic transmissions.
Ⅲ The transmission in your vehicle requires a special
fluid available only at your NISSAN dealer. No other
fluid will meet the exact requirements of the CVT.
OVERDRIVE (O/D) OFF SWITCH (if so equipped)
Ⅲ Each time your vehicle is started, the transmission is
automatically “reset” to Overdrive on.
Ⅲ To turn Overdrive mode off, push the O/D OFF
switch . The O/D OFF light in the instrument
panel will illuminate.
Ⅲ Use the Overdrive off mode when you need im-
proved engine braking.
MANUAL SHIFT MODE (if so equipped)
Ⅲ The manual shift mode can be activated
while the shift selector is in the D (Drive)
position by pressing a paddle shifter. How-
ever, the transmission will automatically re-
turn to the D (Drive) position after approxi-
mately 15 seconds. To manually return to the
D (Drive) position, pull and hold the paddle
shifter for 1.5 seconds.
Ⅲ When the shift selector is shifted from D
(Drive) to the manual shift gate, the transmission enters the manual shift mode.
Ⅲ In the manual shift mode, shift range is displayed on the position indicator in the meter.
Ⅲ When shifting up, move the shift selector to the + (up) side or move the shift paddle on
the steering wheel to the + (up) side . The transmission shifts to a higher range.
Ⅲ When shifting down, move the shift selector to the - (down) side or move the shift
paddle on the steering wheel to the - (down) side . The transmission shifts to a
lower range.
Ⅲ In manual shift mode, the transmission automatically shifts down to M1 (first) before the
vehicle comes to a stop. When accelerating again, it is necessary to shift to the desired
range.
Ⅲ When canceling the manual shift mode, return the shift selector to the D (Drive) position.
The transmission returns to the normal driving mode.
