Nissan ARIYA 2024 Owners Manual
9.5.1.1. Starting vehicle
After placing the vehicle in the READY to drive position, fully depress the footbrake pedal before moving the shift lever to the D (Drive) position.
The shift lever of this vehicle is designed so that the footbrake pedal must be depressed before shifting from the P (Park) position to any driving position while the power switch is in the READY to drive position.
The shift position cannot be moved out of the P (Park) position and into any of the other positions if the power switch is placed in the OFF position.
Keep the footbrake pedal depressed, and move the shift lever to the D (Drive) position.
Release the parking brake and footbrake pedal, and then gradually start the vehicle in motion.
Do not depress the accelerator pedal while shifting from P (Park) or N (Neutral) to R (Reverse) or D (Drive) position. Always depress the brake pedal until shifting is completed. Failure to do so could cause you to lose control, which could result in an accident.
Never shift to either the P (Park) or R (Reverse) position while the vehicle is moving forward and P (Park), D (Drive) position while the vehicle reversing. This could cause an accident or damage the transmission.
Do not shift to the B position abruptly on slippery roads. This may cause a loss of control.
To avoid possible damage to your vehicle, when stopping the vehicle on an uphill slope, 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.
