Подскажите NissanPathfinder R51 (коробка, датчик дождя) Опции

[BETEPAH]

Коллеги. Два вопроса:
1) У меня в машине стоит какая-то странная коробка. Не Типтроник, т.е., я не могу вручную переключать передачи. Выбор следующий: 1; 2; 3; 4 (в режиме overdrive off), ну и D, R, N. Как правильно этим пользоваться? Можно ли, без вреда для автомобиля вытаскивать народ из грязи и выполнять другие подобные действия?
2) Точно знаю, что есть датчик дождя и работает он, как триггер, т.е., не регулирует скорость щеток, а просто, либо включает щетки, либо нет. Причем, работает эта "байда" только в прерывистом режиме щеток, т.е., подрулевой переключатель должен стоять в этом положении. Когда нет дождя, включаю щетки в прерывистый режим, справедливо полагая, что они буду стоять на месте и включатся только тогда, когда на стекло попадет вода. Ан нет! С упорством ослика они "скрипят" по сухому стеклу и не выключаются. Как быть?

В кратце про датчик дождя.

Rain Sensitive Wiper System — If Equipped

The rain sensitive wiper system provides you with the convenience of automatically detecting moisture on your windshield and turning on the wipers at the appropriate speed. The Rain Sensor is located above the rear view mirror and reacts to any moisture present in the area of the sensor. To activate the rain sensitive wiper system, turn the front wiper control lever to AUTO. When you turn the lever to AUTO, the wipers will operate a single wipe cycle. The wipers will also cycle once when you start the vehicle if the lever was left in AUTO.
There are five AUTO positions on the lever to allow you to select system sensitivity that best suits you. The lowest position (closest to OFF) is the least sensitive to rain and the highest position is the most sensitive. If you select a low sensitivity position on the control lever, the system will be slower to react to rain and wipe only after some rain accumulates on the windshield. If you select a high sensitivity position, the system will be very quick to react to rain drops and will wipe more often. If it is raining steadily, the wipers will wipe continuously regardless of what sensitivity the lever is. If the rain is heavy, the wipers will operate in high speed. Every time you move the lever to a higher sensitivity, the wipers will immediately operate a single wipe cycle.

NOTE:
Since the rain sensor is designed to detect moisture, road spray, smashed bugs, and moisture from passing trucks may occasionally cause the wipers to cycle if the lever is in AUTO. Also, manual intervention may be necessary under certain conditions: Additional wipes may be desired, in foggy/misty mornings, where condensation builds up very slowly on the windshield, or when water accumulated on the roof of the vehicle runs down the windshield, but not over the sensor. Fewer wipes and/or washer fluid may be desired when salty road spray is encountered, where the operator may want to turn the “Auto” feature off and use the “Wash” and/or “Mist” functions.

CAUTION!
Turn the wiper lever to the OFF position to avoid wiper damage when driving through an automatic car wash.

WARNING!
Turn the wiper lever to the OFF position when cleaning your windshield to avoid injury.

В кратце про режимы автомата.

Gear Ranges

DO NOT race the engine when shifting from P (Park) or N (Neutral) position into another gear range.

P (Park)

Supplements the parking brake by locking the transmission. The engine can be started in this range. Never move the selector to P (Park) while the vehicle is in motion. Apply the parking brake when leaving the vehicle in this range. Always apply the parking brake first, then place the selector in P (Park) position.

R (Reverse)

Provides reverse gear operation. Move the selector to R (Reverse) only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop.

N (Neutral)

Shift into N (Neutral) when the vehicle is idling (engine running) in gear for prolonged periods to reduce heat buildup. The engine may be started in this range.

WARNING!

Vehicle is free to move in this range. Make sure the parking brake is set if you must leave the vehicle.

D (Drive)

For most city and highway driving. All five forward gears are available in this range. 5th gear provides overdrive operation for improved fuel economy and reduced engine speeds.

4 (Fourth)

The 4 (Fourth) range will provide normal upshifting to 4th gear. This range reduces shifting when operating the vehicle under heavy load conditions (for example, in hilly terrain, strong head winds, or trailer towing). This range will improve performance and extend transmission life by reducing excessive shifting and heat buildup.

3 (Third)

The 3 (Third) range will provide normal upshifting to 3rd gear. Use this range for enhanced speed control when operating in heavy city traffic or on mountain roads. Also, use it when climbing moderate grades and for engine braking when descending moderately steep grades.

2 (Second)

The 2 (2nd) range will provide normal upshifting to 2nd gear. Use of this range is similar to the 3 (Third) range.

1 (First)

The 1 (First) range should be used for driving up very steep hills and for engine braking at low speeds (40 km/h (25 mph) or less) when going downhill. To prevent excessive engine speed do not exceed 40 km/h (25 mph) in this range.

Ещё немного про буксировку

When frequent transmission shifting occurs while using overdrive, such as when operating the
vehicle under heavy load conditions (for example, in hilly terrain, strong head winds, or trailer towing), turning off overdrive will improve performance and extend transmission life by reducing excessive shifting and heat buildup. 4th and 5th gears (Overdrive) can be locked out by pressing the O/D OFF switch located on side of the gearshift lever. The O/D OFF indicator light will illuminate to show that the switch has been activated. When the light is on, 4th and 5th gear (Overdrive) is locked out. Pressing the switch a second time restores the Overdrive function. The lockout feature is useful when towing a trailer or carrying a heavy load.

NOTE:

If you tow a trailer frequently, especially in hilly country or when the outdoor temperature is high, we recommend that you сhange the transmission fluid at 19 000 km (12,000 mile) intervals.
