Nissan Juke 2024 Owners Manual
7.24. Parking
Do not 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:
The parking brake is applied.
The shift lever is placed in an appropriate gear for manual transmission models.
The shift lever is placed in the P (Park) position for Automatic (DCT) transmission models.
Failure to follow the above recommendations could cause the vehicle to move unexpectedly or roll away and result in an accident.
Never leave the engine running while the vehicle is unattended.
Do not leave children unattended inside the vehicle. They could unknowingly activate switches or controls, or move the vehicle. Unattended children could become involved in serious accidents.
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.
Manual transmission models:
Depress the clutch pedal and place the shift lever in the R (Reverse) position. When parking on an uphill gradient, place the shift lever in the 1st (Low gear) position.
Automatic (DCT) transmission models:
Fully depress the brake pedal and move the shift lever to the P (Park) position.
Make sure that the shift lever has been pushed as far forward as it can go and cannot be moved without depressing the button on the shift lever handle.
When parked on a sloping driveway, turn the wheels so the vehicle will not roll into the street in case it moves.
FACING DOWNHILL: (1)
Turn the wheels into the kerb, allow the vehicle to move forward until the kerb side wheel gently touches the kerb. Then set the parking brake.
FACING UPHILL: (2)
Turn the wheels away from the kerb and allow the vehicle to move back until the kerb side wheel gently touches the kerb. Then set the parking brake.
NO KERB - FACING DOWNHILL OR UPHILL: (3)
Turn the wheels toward the side of the road so the vehicle will move away from the centre of the road if it moves. Then set the parking brake.
Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position and remove the key.
Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position and remove the key/Intelligent Key (where fitted).
Always turn off ignition after parking a vehicle with Stop/Start System fitted to avoid a possible flat battery.
The Stop/Start System is designed to prevent unnecessary fuel consumption, exhaust emissions and noise during a journey. The Stop/Start System does not automatically turn off ignition at the end of a journey.
