Shift lock release

If the battery is discharged, the shift lever may not
be moved from the P (Park) position even with the
brake pedal depressed.

To move the shift lever, release the shift lock. The
shift lever can be moved to N (Neutral). However,
the steering wheel will be locked unless the igni-
tion switch is placed in the ON position (for
models with a steering lock mechanism). This
allows the vehicle to be moved if the battery is
discharged.

To push the shift lock release, complete the fol-
lowing procedure:

1. Place the ignition switch in the LOCK posi-

tion and remove the key.

2. Apply the parking brake.

3. Remove the shift lock release cover as

shown.

4. Use a protective cloth on the tip of a small

screwdriver before inserting it in the shift
lock release slot and pushing down.

5. Move the shift lever to the N (Neutral) posi-

tion while holding down the shift lock re-
lease.

6. Place the ignition switch in the ON position

to unlock the steering wheel (for models with
a steering lock mechanism).

7. Now the vehicle may be moved to the de-

sired location.

If the shift lever cannot be moved out of P (Park),
have a NISSAN dealer check the automatic
transmission system as soon as possible.
