Parking/parking on hills

WARNING

  • Do not stop or park the vehicle over flammable materials such as dry grass, waste paper or rags. They may ignite and cause a fire.
  • Safe parking procedures require that both the parking brake be set and the transmission placed into P (Park) or in an appropriate gear for manual transmission models. Failure to do so could cause the vehicle to move unexpectedly or roll away and result in an accident.

    Make sure the shift lever has been pushed as far forward as it can go and cannot be moved without depressing the foot brake pedal.

  • Never leave the engine running while the vehicle is unattended.
  • To help avoid risk of injury or death through unintended operation of the vehicle and/or its systems, do not leave children, people who require the assistance of others or pets unattended in your vehicle. Additionally, the temperature inside a closed vehicle on a warm day can quickly become high enough to cause a significant risk of injury or death to people and pets.

1. Firmly apply the parking brake.

2. Manual transmission models: Place the shift lever into the R (Reverse) position. When parking on an uphill grade, place the shift lever into 1st gear.

Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) / Automatic transmission models: Move the shift lever into the P (Park) position.

3. To help prevent the vehicle from rolling into traffic when parked on an incline, it is a good practice to turn the wheels as illustrated.

  • HEADED DOWNHILL WITH CURB: 1

Turn the wheels into the curb and move the vehicle forward until the curb side wheel gently touches the curb.

  • HEADED UPHILL WITH CURB: 2

Turn the wheels away from the curb and move the vehicle back until the curb side wheel gently touches the curb.

HEADED UPHILL OR DOWNHILL, NO CURB: 3

Turn the wheels toward the side of the road so the vehicle will move away from the center of the road if it moves.

4. Place the ignition switch in the LOCK position and remove the key (if so equipped)/ NISSAN Intelligent Key (if so equipped).
