If the electric parking brake cannot be released
by operating the electric parking brake switch,
the parking brake can be mechanically released.
Note that the following procedure must be
performed only when the parking brake needs
to be released in an emergency.
NOTE:
. Depending on the type of parking
brake system malfunction, the parking
brake switch operation indicator may
blink and the electric shift control
system warning light may illuminate in
the meter.
. If the electric shift control system
warning light illuminates in the meter,
stop the vehicle in a safe location and
contact a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer
immediately.
. The mechanical release of the parking
brake should only be done if there is a
malfunction of the electric parking
brake system. After the parking brake
mechanical release has been done, the
vehicle needs to be repaired. Have your
vehicle inspected by a NISSAN certified
LEAF dealer.
To release the parking brake mechanically,
perform the following procedure.
1. Confirm that the vehicle is in the P (Park)
position. If the vehicle cannot be placed in
the P (Park) position, contact a NISSAN
certified LEAF dealer.
2. Check that the parking brake switch opera-
tion indicator does not illuminate.
3. Place power switch in the OFF position.
4. Open the rear hatch.
5. Remove the tool for mechanical release from
the tool set that is located in the cargo area.
6. Remove the luggage floor board from the
cargo area.
7. Remove the cap by turning counterclock-
wise.
8. Insert the tool and turn it counterclockwise
while pushing it in.
9. Continue to turn it until it stops and then
release your hand. The tool will then return
approximately the same position it was in
before it was turned and release of the
parking brake will be completed. Do not turn
the tool beyond the point at which it stops.
Doing so may result in damage.
10. Store the tool for mechanical release by
performing the procedure for removing it in
reverse.
WARNING
When releasing the electric parking
brake mechanically, always confirm
that the vehicle is in the P (Park)
position. If the vehicle is in any position
other than the P (Park) position, the
vehicle may unexpectedly move and
may cause serious personal injury or
death. If the vehicle cannot be shifted
into the P (Park) position, contact a
NISSAN certified LEAF dealer.
CAUTION
. Always perform the procedure after
the electric parking brake switch
operation indicator turns off. If not,
the system may operate unexpect-
edly and the tool used for mechan-
ical release may move suddenly.
This may cause personal injury.
. To release the parking brake me-
chanically, turn the power switch to
the OFF position and then make
sure that the parking brake switch
operation indicator turns off.
