Nissan Qashqai e-POWER 2023 Owners Manual

6.9.1. Driving away when towing a trailer

Please note the following points to prevent the vehicle from rolling back unintentionally on a gradient.

  • Pull and hold the parking brake switch and press the accelerator. The parking brake will remain engaged and prevent any tendency to roll back down the slope.

  • You can release the parking brake switch as soon as the e-POWER system is delivering enough power to the wheels.

Depending on the weight of the vehicle and trailer and the steepness of the slope, there may be a tendency to roll back downhill when driving away from a standstill. You can prevent this by pulling up the parking brake switch as you press the accelerator (in the same way as with a conventional handbrake).
