If:

1. The engine coolant temperature is not re-

duced.

2. The air conditioning cooling function does

not turn back ON.

3. The engine oil pressure low/engine coolant

temperature high warning light

illumi-

nates, this may indicate a malfunction. Move
the vehicle off the road in a safe area and
allow the engine to cool. If after checking the
oil and coolant, the

remains on, do not

continue to drive and call a NISSAN dealer.

The malfunction indicator light (MIL) may also
come ON. If only it remains on, you do not need
to have your vehicle towed, but have it inspected
soon by a NISSAN dealer. See “Malfunction in-
dicator light (MIL)” in the “Instruments and con-
trols ” section of this manual.

WARNING

Overheating can result in reduced engine
power and vehicle speed. The reduced
speed may be lower than other traffic,
which could increase the chance of a col-
lision. Be especially careful when driving.
If the vehicle cannot maintain a safe driv-
ing speed, pull to the side of the road in a
safe area. Allow the engine to cool and
return to normal operation. See “If your
vehicle overheats” in the “In case of emer-
gency” section of this manual.

CAUTION

Running the engine with the engine oil
pressure warning light on could cause se-
rious damage to the engine almost imme-
diately. Such damage is not covered by
warranty. Turn off the engine as soon as it
is safe to do so.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

WARNING

Do not depress the accelerator pedal

while shifting from P (Park) or N (Neu-
tral) to R (Reverse), or L (Low). Always
depress the brake pedal until shifting is
completed. Failure to do so could cause
you

to

lose

control

and

have

an

accident.

Cold engine idle speed is high, so use

caution when shifting into a forward or
reverse gear before the engine has
warmed up.

Never shift to P (Park) or R (Reverse)

while the vehicle is moving. This could
cause an accident.

CAUTION

When stopping the vehicle on an uphill

grade, do not hold the vehicle by de-
pressing the accelerator pedal. The foot
brake should be used for this purpose.

Do not downshift abruptly on slippery

roads. This may cause a loss of control.

The automatic transmission in your vehicle is
electronically controlled to produce maximum
power and smooth operation.
