4. Driver is pressing the brake pedal

For the electronic parking brake in the 2022 Nissan LEAF to automatically release, specific conditions must be satisfied to ensure safe vehicle operation. The correct condition includes the driver fastening their seatbelt, the vehicle's transmission being in gear, and the accelerator pedal being pressed. This sequence allows the car to recognize that the driver is prepared to drive, which is critical for safety. It requires both an indication of driver readiness through the seatbelt and the intention to move the vehicle, which is confirmed by shifting the transmission into gear and applying the accelerator. The other conditions presented do not fulfill the requirements necessary for the automatic release of the electronic parking brake, as they either don't involve the specific actions of fastening the seatbelt and pressing the accelerator, or they may not indicate that a drive state is intended. This understanding is crucial for ensuring both the safety and proper function of the vehicle's brake systems.
