Nissan Armada 2025-2026 Owner's Manual: Basic information

The Nissan Armada is equipped with an advanced automatic brake hold function designed to enhance driving convenience in stop-and-go traffic conditions. This system automatically maintains braking force when the vehicle comes to a complete stop, such as at traffic lights or intersections, allowing the driver to release the brake pedal without the vehicle rolling.

Once the driver presses the accelerator pedal, the Nissan Armada automatically releases the braking force and resumes normal driving. The current status of the automatic brake hold function can be clearly monitored via the vehicle information display.

To activate and properly use the automatic brake hold function in your Nissan Armada, the following conditions must be satisfied:

• The driver’s seat belt must be securely fastened.
• The electronic parking brake must be fully released.
• The Nissan Armada must not be in the P (Park) position.
• The vehicle should not be stopped on a steep incline.

WARNING

• The automatic brake hold function in the Nissan Armada is not intended for use on steep slopes or slippery surfaces. Using it under such conditions may cause the vehicle to move unexpectedly.
• System warnings may appear requesting the driver to regain control by pressing the brake pedal. Always respond promptly to such alerts.
• If the Nissan Armada automatic brake hold fails to keep the vehicle stationary, immediately press the brake pedal to maintain control. External factors such as road conditions may cause unexpected vehicle movement, accompanied by warning sounds and messages.
• Deactivate the automatic brake hold function when using automated car wash systems, towing the Nissan Armada, or when the vehicle is heavily loaded.
• The automatic brake hold function will not operate when the Nissan Armada is in 4L (low-range 4WD) mode. If 4L is engaged while the function is active, braking force will be released automatically.
• Always shift the Nissan Armada into P (Park) and apply the parking brake when parking, entering or exiting the vehicle, or loading and unloading cargo.

  Failure to do so may result in unintended vehicle movement, potentially causing serious injury or property damage.

• If any of the following conditions occur, the Nissan Armada automatic brake hold system may not function properly. Have the system inspected as soon as possible by an authorized Nissan dealer:
  • A warning message appears on the display.
  • The indicator light on the automatic brake hold switch does not illuminate when pressed.

  Improper system operation may lead to unexpected vehicle movement and increased risk of accidents.

• The automatic brake hold function will not activate if warning indicators such as the slip indicator light, electronic parking brake warning light, or master warning light are illuminated, or if a Chassis Control System Error message is displayed in the Nissan Armada.
• While maintaining braking force, you may hear operational sounds from the Nissan Armada braking system. This is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.
• In some situations, the Nissan Armada may continue holding the vehicle even when the accelerator pedal is pressed. If this occurs, press the brake pedal first and then deactivate the automatic brake hold switch to release the braking force safely.

The Nissan Armada automatic brake hold system improves driver comfort and control, especially in urban driving conditions, while still requiring attentive and responsible vehicle operation at all times.
