ating the electronic parking brake switch.
Automatic operation
The electronic parking brake is automati-
cally released as soon as the vehicle starts
and the accelerator pedal is depressed.
In order for the electronic parking brake to
disable when the driver pushes the accel-
erator, the driver’s seat belt must be
fastened.
WARNING
The electronic parking brake will not
be automatically applied when the
EV system is stopped without using
the power switch (for example, by EV
system stalling).
Before leaving the vehicle, move the
shift lever to the P (Park) position and
check that the electronic parking
brake indicator light (
or PARK) is
illuminated to confirm that the elec-
tronic parking brake is applied. The
electronic parking brake indicator
light (
or PARK) will remain on for
a period of time after the driver’s
door is locked.
CAUTION
When parking in an area where the
outside temperature is below 32°F
(0°C), the parking brake, if applied,
may freeze in place and may be diffi-
cult to release.
For safe parking, it is recommended
that you place the shift lever in the P
(Park) position and securely block
the wheels.
NOTE:
If a malfunction occurs in the elec-
tronic parking brake system (for ex-
ample, due to battery discharge), it is
recommended that you visit a NISSAN
certified LEAF dealer.
