Nissan Qashqai e-POWER 2023 Owners Manual
8.10.1. Electric shift control system
This vehicle is electronically controlled to produce maximum available power and smooth operation.
The recommended operating procedures for this shift control system are shown on the following pages. Follow these procedures for maximum vehicle performance and driving enjoyment.
Do not depress the accelerator pedal while shifting from P (Park) or N (Neutral) to R (Reverse), D (Drive) mode. Always depress the brake pedal until shifting is completed. Failure to do so could cause you to lose control and have an accident.
Never shift to either the P (Park) or R (Reverse) position while the vehicle is moving forward and P (Park) or D (Drive) mode position while the vehicle is reversing. This could cause an accident or damage the shift control system.
Except in an emergency, do not shift to the N (Neutral) position while driving. Coasting with the shift control system in the N (Neutral) position may cause serious damage to the shift control system.
To avoid possible damage to your vehicle, when stopping the vehicle on an uphill grade, do not hold the vehicle by depressing the accelerator pedal. The footbrake should be used for this purpose.
Do not hang items on the shift lever. This may cause an accident due to a sudden start.
