WARNING

• Always ensure that the parking brake is fully released before driving the Nissan Sentra. Driving with the parking brake engaged can cause excessive brake wear, reduced braking performance, and may lead to brake system failure or a serious accident.
• Never attempt to release the parking brake from outside the Nissan Sentra. Doing so may result in unexpected vehicle movement and increase the risk of injury.
• Do not rely on the shift lever as a substitute for the parking brake. When parking the Nissan Sentra, always make sure the parking brake is fully engaged to prevent unintended vehicle movement.
• To reduce the risk of injury or death caused by unintended vehicle operation, never leave children, individuals requiring assistance, or pets unattended inside the Nissan Sentra. On warm days, the interior temperature of a closed vehicle can rise rapidly and become life-threatening.
