2012 NISSAN Altima - Shift Modes

- Shift Modes (if so equipped)
Your vehicle may be equipped with three shift modes: Drive, Drive Sport and Manual. For normal forward driving, use the Drive position. If you move the shift lever to Manual, the vehicle will shift into Drive Sport mode. In this mode, the transmission changes to a "sporty" driving, shift operation, creating a more aggressive acceleration feeling than the "Drive" mode and provides a gear change sensation when the driver accelerates quickly.
From the Drive Sport mode, you can shift into Manual mode by moving the shift lever to the plus or minus side. Manual Shift mode offers the driver more control for maximum performance.
Once engaged, the Manual Shift mode will display on the position indicator and the transmission will automatically choose a range closest to your vehicle's current speed. In Manual mode, you can choose different shift ranges using the shift lever.
To shift UP to a higher gear, push the shift lever forward to the PLUS side.
When shifting to a LOWER GEAR, like when decelerating coming down a hill, pull the lever back once to the MINUS side.
Moving the shift lever to the same side twice will shift through the ranges in succession.
To return to normal driving mode, move the shift lever from Manual to the Drive position. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
This video clearly explains the 3 modes of the cvt in 84 seconds.
Do I save more gas driving in sports mode? What are advantages?
@@loopy221 I have a modded 2012 and from experience....sport mode with upgraded exhaust will make you want to stay on gas just to hear it! So overall you’ll burn through fuel faster
@@216_dude8 you ain't lying there bud 😉👍
Thank you so much. Just bought a car with the same shift gear. Thanks to videos like this that clearly makes it easier to live ..... 🤓
I have a 2010 sedan and I have this feature. Got the car straight piped so I can look like more of a ass of my self
Hows your cvt doing?
I had no idea what those options were and I’ve been driving in manual for over a week now smdh
And I was wondering why the engine was so loud
At least I know now
So wait does this mess up you car if you keep driving in it
jinonimus
Any damage?
I have this same car. I just drive in the normal drive mode, but I've been curious about the other modes to the left of it. Love this car just a bit more!
lol poor transmission
Hay guys so when first start my car for the first time in the morning and puts it drive it does not move until I put it in low which is number 1 once I move of in low gear about a minute later I go back in drive (D) it works perfect and once the transmission is hot there is no need for me to go in low to move it a Nissan almara 2004 please help
GREAT NISSAN.
wow I have a 3.5 cvt coupe and always thought putting it to the left was just manual only, sweet to know it will be an auto sport mode. Will be testing this tomorrow lol.
Does it work?
@@jacobgoulet6558 yeah but I don't use it lol, hard on the cvt
Will this ruin hour engine
I miss 2018 jus straight up sport mode no need to shift
manual shift mode eats gas up 🤚🏽🤚🏽🤚🏽🤚🏽
💯✋🏾

Well no shit, higher RPMS. Hinting “ more aggressive sensation “
let's say I'm going like 60mph and I wana switch from d to sports mode ,is that possible or do I have to come to a complete stop to switch between drive and sports mode???
Yes you can switch, you don't have to be stationary.
I did not khow what my car could do untill my husband told me and t his video anyway i love car its great !!!!!#i thini ill give it to my hubby though and get a bew car
That was painful to read.
I have 2012 Altima 2.5s coupe when I move left from drive there is no dS it shows m1 do I have to down shift to go into sport ?
I have the same problem I want to know the same thing
is because is the basic, me too, have the 2.5s, but no problem with manual mode.
There's no sport mode it's just manual mode M1 means gear 1, M2 means gear 2 and so on. Shift like you would in a manual car. If you dont shift its gonna redline more often.
My manual mode doesn’t work. Car dealership said it was something electrical but said they weren’t going to fix it, even though they sold me the vehicle already messed up. Does anyone know what could be wrong? I had to have the transmission replaced and the manual mode still doesn’t work.
there a video in youtube about that. its very easy and you can fix it by yourself its because someone probably shift it really hard and the connectors inside was detached you just gotta get it open and re attach it
So the manual is always on in the car a buddy purchased. The normal Drive mode is like 1st gear manual until you shift it. Nissan ought to have their ass kicked for designing such a screwed up transmission.
Wait wait my 09 was at D position and transmission was going high as if it trying to race. Today i just shift to S and I don't hear transmission high anymore. What does that mean??
Now you're gonna have to drive in reverse for 15ft to get it out of 4 wheel drive
@@anythinganytimealways ok question 😢😢😢 transmission is fked. Is it worth paying 4k for new transmission or get another car?
@@anythinganytimealways lol. so few no now adays
There is no Ds on my altima :( is it only for coupes?
yes
Soooooooo in my mom's Altima coupe (2012) it's just drive and manual mode. There isn't a DS. Is her car broken? BUT at WOT it shifts like an automatic.
depends on if its a 2.5s or just a 2.5
Robert Jacks it says 2.5s on the trunklid
For ds push the shift to the left from D but Don’t pull up or down
SimplyShakeila I push left from drive but is says m1 do I have to down shift to go to drive sport
I have the same problem
My mom has this exact car and I've been driving it in manual mode for the longest time without even knowing...🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️lol! It’s honestly a pretty cool feature tho. Can someone tell me how it works tho? Like how do you know when to shift?? I’ve never moved it to the + or - sign so I don’t wanna accidentally fuck something up. Lmao
That means you've been driving in the first gear only until it redlines and auto shifts to a higher gear which is bad. You have to manually shift gears like you would in a manual transmission car + to go up a gear and - to go down a gear.
@@znk_1999I’m sure she meant “D’s” not manual however if she actually did drive in the manual mode then like you said “Driving in the first gear only until it redlines and auto shifts to a higher gear which is bad.”. You would destroy the engine/transmission aka (cvt) in a matter of weeks if your lucky! quick way to blow your shit up lol
@@isaiah2536 i just bought this car, and made the same mistake. (this is my first car). I thought, "ok this car shouldn't be this loud and hitting 4-5k rpm..." also, it didn't coast well, slowing down a lot anytime i wasn't on the accelerator. drove like 30-40mph for about half an hour in first gear.
I was concerned then went home and read the manual, realised my mistake... the car runs so smooth in regular drive mode. do you think i did any lasting damage though?
@@violarulez Absolutely not! so long as you don’t repeat that mistake (Again) your car is golden. The insignificant change you get when driving in manual or sport mode opposed to regular (Drive) is not worth. The only noticeable difference will be your MPG.
@@isaiah2536 thank you sir 🙏
leprenden dos luses
Hey
Can I shift while accelerating or do I have to let go of the gas ?
Let go of gas
+Fghghh Ggghh when i got my car they told me to stay on gas when shifting
So which is it...
"I don't even own this car I just want to know how it works"
Gummylox I usually whip my dick out and slap it on the steering wheel and then shift. That's what the dealer told me to do.
Quagmire oof
What is the purpose of this? Ugh!
It's meant to duplicate the "feel" of a 6 speed automatic for those that don't like the constant rpm of the cvt.
aggressive driving
hay
Yah
So easy
if so equipped
