Nissan Frontier: Starting and driving - Parking brake

WARNING

• Always make sure the parking brake is fully released before driving the Nissan Frontier. Driving with the parking brake engaged can overheat the brake components, reduce braking performance, and lead to an accident.
• Do not release the parking brake from outside the vehicle. The driver should be properly seated and in control before releasing it.
• Do not rely on the shift lever as a substitute for the parking brake. When parking the Nissan Frontier, always make sure the parking brake is fully engaged.
• To help avoid injury or death caused by unintended operation of the vehicle or its systems, never leave children, people who require assistance, or pets unattended in the vehicle. Also remember that the temperature inside a closed vehicle on a warm day can rise quickly and become dangerous enough to create a serious risk of injury or death for people and animals.

To engage: Press the parking brake pedal down firmly until it is securely applied.

To release:

1. Firmly apply the foot brake.

2. Move the shift lever to the P (Park) position.

3. Press the parking brake pedal down firmly again, and the pedal will release.

4. Before driving the Nissan Frontier, confirm that the brake warning light has gone out.
