How to manually unlock the automatic gearbox and electric brake of a Nissan Qashqai

Model: Nissan Qashqai J11 - Years 2014-2022
Part: Parking brake

In this video, we see how to unlock the automatic gearbox and the electric handbrake of a Nissan Qashqai: if the gearbox is stuck on "P", we need to slightly move the frame of the gear lever and with a small screwdriver, enter the mechanism, from the left side. We move it a little until we find the unlock button, and that's it. Instead, to unlock the handbrake, we need to take the remote control, and press it, on the side where the Nissan symbol is, for ten seconds on the start button; this way the handbrake will automatically unlock.
