Nissan Qashqai e-POWER 2023 Owners Manual
8.10.1.1. Starting the vehicle
After placing the vehicle in the READY to drive position, fully depress the foot brake pedal before moving the shift lever to the D (Drive) position. The shift lever of this vehicle is designed so that the foot brake pedal must be depressed before shifting from P (Park) to any driving position while the e-POWER system is running. The shift position cannot be placed out of the P (Park) position and into any of the other positions if the power switch is switched OFF.
Keep the footbrake pedal depressed and move the shift lever to select a driving position.
Release the foot brake and gradually apply the accelerator pedal. If the parking brake is on it will automatically release provided the driver has their seat belt fastened.
DEPRESS THE FOOTBRAKE PEDAL - Shifting to D (Drive) or R (Reverse) without depressing the footbrake pedal causes the vehicle to move slowly while the e-POWER system is running. Make sure the footbrake pedal is depressed fully and the vehicle is stopped before shifting the shift control system.
MAKE SURE OF THE SHIFT CONTROL SYSTEM POSITION - Make sure the shift control system position is in the desired position on the vehicle information display. D (Drive) is used to move forward and R (Reverse) to reverse.
