Starting and driving

JVS0100X

SPORT mode switch

In the SPORT mode, the engine and transmis-
sion are controlled to set the engine speed
higher than in the D (Drive) position. This
enhances throttle response for a “sporty” driving
feeling.

To turn on the SPORT mode, push the SPORT
mode switch. The SPORT mode indicator light
in the instrument panel illuminates. To turn off
the SPORT mode, push the SPORT mode
switch again. The SPORT mode indicator light
on the instrument panel turns off.

If the SPORT mode indicator light does not
illuminate when the SPORT mode switch is

turned on, the switch or system may have a
malfunction. In this case, contact your NISSAN
dealer. Even if there is a malfunction in the
switch or system, this will not affect normal
driving.
. The SPORT mode automatically turns off if a

malfunction occurs.

. The SPORT mode only operates at speeds

of above 20 MPH (30km/h).

. If the engine is switched off with the SPORT

mode on, the SPORT mode resets to off
when the engine is restarted.

CAUTION

. In the SPORT mode, fuel economy

may be reduced.

. If the overdrive off mode is set when

the SPORT mode is on, the overd-
rive off mode will take priority.

Overdrive (O/D) OFF switch

When the O/D OFF switch is pushed with the
selector lever in the D (Drive) position, the
indicator light in the instrument panel illuminates.

Use the overdrive off mode when you need
improved engine braking.

To turn off the overdrive off mode, push the O/D
OFF switch again. The

indicator light will

turn off.

Each time the engine is started, or when the
selector lever is shifted to any position other
than the D (Drive) position, the overdrive off
mode will be automatically turned off.
