Before driving, be sure that the brake warning

light has turned off.

When one of the following conditions has

occurred, the selected outside mirror surface

will return to its original position.

SWITCH TYPE (models with electronic

parking brake system)

The shift lever is moved to any position

position when the brake force is main-

tained by automatic brake hold function

(if equipped), the electronic parking brake

A buzzer will sound if the vehicle is driven

without releasing the parking brake. See

“Audible reminders” (P.2-21).

While the electronic parking brake is

applied or released, an operating sound

is heard from the lower side of the rear

seat. This is normal and does not indicate

a malfunction.

When the electronic parking brake is

frequently applied and released in a short

period of time, the parking brake may not

operate in order to prevent the parking

brake system from overheating. If this

occurs, operate the electronic parking

brake switch again after waiting approxi-

mately 1 minute.

The electronic parking brake will not be

automatically applied when the engine is

AUTOMATIC BRAKE HOLD (if equipped)

The automatic brake hold function maintains

the braking force without the driver having to

depress the brake pedal when the vehicle is

stopped at a traffic light or intersection. As

soon as the driver depresses the accelerator

pedal again, the automatic brake hold function

is deactivated and the braking force is released.

The operating status of the automatic brake

hold can be displayed on the vehicle informa-

tion display. See“Vehicle information display

warnings and indicators” (P.2-31).

roll away unexpectedly and result in

serious personal injury or property da-

mage.

When towing a trailer (for Australia,

New Zealand, South Africa and Europe)

Depending on the weight of the vehicle and

trailer and the steepness of the slope, there

may be a tendency for the vehicle to move

CAUTION:

backwards when starting from

a standstill.

If any of the following conditions occur,

the automatic brake hold function may

not function. Have the system checked by

a NISSAN dealer promptly.

When this occurs, you can use the parking

brake switch in the same way as a conven-

tional lever type parking brake.

Before starting on sloping roads when towing a

trailer, be sure to read the following to prevent

the vehicle from moving backward uninten-

tionally.

1. Pull and hold the parking brake switch

while depressing the accelerator pedal

and engaging the clutch (MT models).

2. Release the parking brake switch as soon

as the engine is delivering enough torque

to the wheels.

— A warning message appears in the

vehicle information display.

WARNING:

— The indicator light of the automatic

brake hold switch does not illuminate

when the switch is pushed.

The automatic brake hold function is not

designed to hold the vehicle on a steep

hill or slippery road. Never use the auto-

matic brake hold when the vehicle is

stopped on a steep hill or slippery road.

Failure to do so may cause the vehicle to

move.

The automatic brake hold function will

not be activated if the Vehicle Dynamic

Control (VDC)/Electronic Stability Pro-

gram (ESP) warning light, electronic park-

ing brake system warning light or the

master warning light illuminate, and the

chassis control system fault message

appears in the vehicle information dis-

play.

When the automatic brake hold function

is activated, but fails to maintain the

vehicle to a standstill, depress the brake

pedal to stop the vehicle. If the vehicle

unexpectedly moves due to the outside

conditions, the chime may sound and

automatic brake hold warning may illu-

minate in the vehicle information display.

To maintain the braking force to keep the

vehicle to a standstill, a noise may be

heard. This is not a malfunction.

Be sure to deactivate the automatic

brake hold function when using a car

wash or towing your vehicle.

Make sure to place the shift lever in the

“P” (Park) position and apply the parking

brake (Continuously Variable Transmis-

sion (CVT)/Dual Clutch Transmission

(DCT) model) or apply the parking brake

(Manual Transmission model) when park-

ing your vehicle, riding on or off the

vehicle, or loading a luggage. Failure to

do so could cause the vehicle to move or
