WARNING

• Do not stop or park the Nissan Sentra over flammable materials such as dry grass, waste paper, or rags. These materials may ignite and cause a fire.
• Safe parking procedures require that the parking brake is fully applied and the transmission is placed in P (Park) for Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) models, or in an appropriate gear for manual transmission (M/T) models. Failure to do so may cause the vehicle to move unexpectedly or roll away, resulting in a serious accident.

  Always confirm that the shift lever has been moved completely forward and cannot be shifted without depressing the brake pedal.

• Never leave the engine running while the vehicle is unattended.
• Do not leave children unattended inside the vehicle. They may unintentionally activate switches or controls, which could cause the vehicle to move. Unattended children may become involved in serious accidents.
• To help reduce the risk of injury or death due to unintended vehicle operation and/or system activation, do not leave children, individuals who require assistance, or pets unattended in your Nissan Sentra. On warm days, the temperature inside a closed vehicle can rise rapidly and become dangerous.

1. Firmly apply the parking brake.

2. M/T models

Place the shift lever in the R (Reverse) position. When parking on an uphill grade, place the shift lever in 1st gear.

CVT models

Move the shift lever into the P (Park) position.

3. To help prevent the vehicle from rolling into traffic when parked on an incline, it is recommended to turn the wheels as illustrated below.

• HEADED DOWNHILL WITH CURB 1: Turn the wheels toward the curb and move the vehicle forward until the curbside wheel gently contacts the curb.
• HEADED UPHILL WITH CURB 2: Turn the wheels away from the curb and move the vehicle backward until the curbside wheel gently contacts the curb.
• HEADED UPHILL OR DOWNHILL, NO CURB 3: Turn the wheels toward the edge of the road so the vehicle will roll away from traffic if it moves.

4. Place the ignition switch in the LOCK position.
