REARVIEW MONITOR (if so equipped)

When the shift selector is moved to the R (Reverse) position,
the monitor display will automatically change to show the area
directly behind the vehicle.

The colored lines on the display screen indicate approximate
distances to objects.

Ⅲ Red 1.5 ft (0.5 m); Yellow 3 ft (1 m); Green 7 ft (2 m) and

10 ft (3 m).

ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE
TRANSMISSION (eCVT)

Ⅲ The eCVT does not produce a gear change sensa-

tion like traditional automatic transmissions.

Ⅲ Most driving conditions require driving in D (Drive)

range. The B (Brake) range can increase engine
braking that can be used on long downhill descents.
It can also increase the rate of high voltage battery
charging for short periods of time.

NOTE: With the transmission in the B (Brake) position
and your foot off the accelerator pedal, engine braking
will be applied.

Ⅲ When driving in heavy traffic, operate the vehicle in

the D (Drive) position to prevent the high voltage
battery from being discharged.

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 eCVT.

HOMELINK

UNIVERSAL TRANSCEIVER (if so equipped)

SYSTEM OPERATING TIPS

Ⅲ Garage doors, electrical gates, entry doors, etc. will be activated during programming.

To avoid injury, make sure that people and objects are clear of all doors or gates during
programming. Your vehicle’s engine should be turned off while programming the
HomeLink

ா Transceiver.

Ⅲ To program your HomeLinkா Transceiver to operate a garage door, gate, or entry door

opener, home or office lighting, you need to be at the same location as the device.

NOTE: Garage door openers (manufactured after 1996) have “rolling code pro-
tection”. To program a garage door opener equipped with “rolling code protec-
tion”, you will need to use a ladder to get up to the garage door opener motor to
be able to access the “smart or learn” program button.
