5. Use a protective cloth on the end of a small

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

6. Move the shift selector to the N (Neutral)

position while holding down the shift lock
release.

7. For models without the NISSAN vehicle im-

mobilizer system, turn the key to the ON
position to unlock the steering wheel.

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

sired location.

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

WARNING

If the shift selector cannot be moved from
the P (Park) position while the engine is
running and the brake pedal is depressed,
the stop lights may not work. Malfunction-
ing stop lights could cause an accident
injuring yourself and others.

Accelerator downshift
— in D position —

For passing or hill climbing, depress the accel-
erator pedal to the floor. This shifts the transmis-
sion down into a lower gear, depending on the
vehicle speed.

Fail-safe

When the fail-safe operation occurs, please note
that the transmission will be locked in any of the
forward gears according to the condition.

If the vehicle is driven under extreme con-
ditions, such as excessive wheel spinning
and subsequent hard braking, the fail-safe
system may be activated. This will occur
even if all electrical circuits are functioning
properly. In this case, turn the ignition
switch OFF and wait for 3 seconds. Then
turn the ignition switch back to the ON
position. The vehicle should return to its
normal operating condition. If it does not
return to its normal operating condition,
have a NISSAN dealer check the transmis-
sion and repair it if necessary.

WARNING

Be sure the parking brake is fully re-

leased before driving. Failure to do so
can cause brake failure and lead to an
accident.

Do not release the parking brake from

outside the vehicle.

Do not use the shift selector in place of

the parking brake. When parking, be
sure the parking brake is fully engaged.

Do not leave children unattended in a

vehicle. They could release the parking
brake and cause an accident.
