2012 NISSAN QASHQAI display

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine burns-off the accumulated carbon. This regenera-
tion process is normally automatic and not visible to
the driver.
Regeneration restrictions:
Driving conditions such as frequent short journeys
or stop/start driving can result in excessive build up
of carbon in the filter. When this happens the DPF
warning light will illuminate (and a message will ap-
pear in the vehicle information display, see “Vehicle
information display” later in this section) to inform
you that the vehicle must be driven in a particular
manner to begin regeneration.
When the DPF warning light is illuminated, provided
that legal and safety conditions allow, the vehicle
should be driven at a speed of over 60 km/h (37.5
MPH) until the DPF warning light turns off. This pro-
cess can take up to 30 minutes to complete.
If regeneration fails:
Failure to react to the DPF warning light may lead to
saturation of the DPF system. If this happens the
Malfunction Indicator (MI)
will illuminate indi-
cating that a Service Regeneration by a NISSAN
dealer or qualified workshop is required. The engine
speed may also be limited to 3,000 rpm to protect
the DPF system.
NOTE
Contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop
to perform a forced regeneration.
Electronic Power Assisted
Steering (EPAS) warning light
When the ignition switch is turned to the ON posi-
tion, the EPAS warning light illuminates. This means
the system is operational.
If the warning light remains illuminated after the en-
gine has been started, there will be no power steer-
ing assistance: the vehicle may be driven using the
mechanical steering system although it is not rec-
ommended as the effort required to turn the steer-
ing wheel will be significantly increased compared
to normal operation.
WARNING
If the EPAS warning light illuminates while
driving, stop as soon as safely possible.
In certain circumstances, factors external to
the EPAS system may contribute to the illumi-
nation of the warning light. If the warning light
illuminates, stop the vehicle as soon as safely
possible if driving, turn the ignition switch to
the “OFF” position for approximately 20 sec-
onds and then turn the ignition switch to the
ON position again. If the light remains illumi-
