This original category diagram is an orientation aid, not a picture of your exact trim. Use the written labels and your vehicle manual to identify the real control.
Step by step.
- 01
Use this mode only on a level conveyor car wash, start the EV system, and release the electronic parking brake.
- 02
Depress and hold the brake pedal, then press the Park button on the shift lever.
- 03
Slide the shifter to N and hold it for 0.5 second until N appears in the vehicle information display.
- 04
Within the same five-second sequence, slide to N again and hold for 0.5 second until Neutral Hold Mode has been activated appears.
- 05
Place the power switch in OFF; the ARIYA remains in Neutral and can roll on the conveyor.
- 06
To exit, hold the brake, switch the vehicle on, and select any position other than N.
Important limits
- Use Neutral Hold Mode only on a level surface and only for car washing; the vehicle can roll freely.
- Steps from pressing Park through the second Neutral selection must be completed within approximately five seconds.
- When switching the vehicle back on, keep the brake depressed because the selector is still in Neutral.
Quick checks.
- ✓If Neutral Hold Mode was not activated appears, wait without shifting for a short time and repeat the sequence from Park.
- ✓If the parking brake is still applied, release it before beginning the sequence.
- ✓If correct operation repeatedly fails, do not use a conveyor wash and have the shift system inspected by a Nissan certified ARIYA dealer.
