2012 NISSAN QASHQAI Start

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine However reset is possible (only after the oil was
changed) using the [Service] menu item in the
[Settings] menu. See “[Maintenance]” later in this
section
Have the vehicle inspected by a NISSAN dealer
or qualified workshop if these conditions occur.
j20Distance to maintenance alert
(where fitted)
This alert reminds when maintenance is due in the
shown distance. The alert is shown for 10 seconds
at ignition ON, when the distance to the next main-
tenance interval is below 5000 km (3100 Miles).
The message is shown until the steering wheel
switch
ji (where fitted) is pressed.
NOTE
Visit a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop
before the maintenance due alertj19reaches
0 km (miles) to perform maintenance (oil
change).
The maintenance interval will reduce faster
with certain types of driving, especially at low
speeds in urban conditions.
j21Tyre change alert
You can set a distance for changing tyres. See
“[Maintenance]” later in this section
j22Maintenance alert
You can set a distance for a non specific mainte-
nance item. See “[Maintenance]” later in this sec-
tion
j23Low temperature warning
If, during driving, the temperature falls below 4ºC
this alert will appear to indicate low outside air tem-
perature. You can switch the low temperature warn-
ing [On] or [Off]. See “[Units]” later in this section
CAUTION
Even if the alert is not on, there is no guarantee
that the road is free of hazards caused by in-
clement weather.
NOTE
The outside air temperature sensor is located at
the front of the vehicle. At low speeds the sensor
can be affected by engine heat, heat reflected
from the road surface and exhaust from other
vehicles, these influences can cause the display
to be inaccurate. To compensate, the outside air
temperature display is designed to react slowly
to increasing temperatures, but quickly to falling
temperatures.
j24Low fuel warning
This warning appears when the fuel level in the tank
is getting low. Refuel as soon as it is convenient,
preferably before the fuel gauge reaches the empty
position. For more information, see “Fuel gauge”
earlier in this section.
j25Driver alert
This warning appears when the previously set time
for a break is reached. You can set the time for up
to 6 hours in the setting menu. (See “Settings menu”
later in this section.)

tank and the actual fuel consumption.
When the fuel level gets close to empty, the range
will change to “----”.
If the amount of fuel added is small, the display
just before the ignition switch is turned to the
“OFF” position may continue to be displayed.
When driving uphill or corners, the fuel in the
tank shifts, this may momentarily change the dis-
play.

(where fitted)
The outside rear-view mirrors will be defogged when
the defogger switch is activated.
XENON HEADLIGHTS (where fitted)
WARNING
HIGH VOLTAGE
When xenon headlights are on, they produce
a high voltage. To prevent an electric shock,
never attempt to modify or disassemble. Al-
ways have your xenon headlights replaced at
an authorised NISSAN dealer or qualified
workshop.
Xenon headlights provide considerably more
light than conventional headlights. If they are
not correctly aimed, they might temporarily
blind an oncoming driver or the driver ahead
of you and cause a serious accident. If head-
lights are not aimed correctly, immediately
take your vehicle to a NISSAN dealer or quali-
fied workshop and have the headlights ad-
justed correctly.
When the xenon headlight is initially turned on, its
brightness or colour varies slightly. However, the
colour and brightness will soon stabilise.
The life of xenon headlights will be shortened by
frequent on-off operation. It is generally desir-
able not to turn off the headlights for short inter-
vals (for example, when the vehicle stops at a
traffic signal).
If the xenon headlight bulb is close to burning
out, the brightness will drastically decrease, the
light will start blinking, or the colour of the light will become reddish. If one or more of the above
signs occur, contact a NISSAN dealer or quali-
fied workshop.
NISSAN recommends you to consult the local regu-
lations concerning the use of lights.

“Friendly Lighting”
The “Friendly Lighting” function is a convenience
facility. It allows you to provide lighting from the
vehicle after the ignition switch has been turned to
the LOCK position and the headlight switch is in the
OFF or AUTO (where fitted) position. Pulling the
headlight switch toward you once will activate the
headlight for approximately 30 seconds. After that
period of time, it will automatically switch off.
It is possible to pull the headlight switch up to four
times to increase the lighting period up to 2 minutes.
NOTE
The “Friendly Lighting” function can be cancelled
by switching the ignition switch to the Acc or ON
position again.
Battery save function
The battery save feature prevents your vehicle from
discharging the battery after you have left the exter-
nal lights, map lamps or room lamps on when exit-
ing the vehicle. This occurs when the ignition switch
or ignition knob is in the “OFF” or LOCK position.
NOTE
The next time the engine is started the external
lights, map lamps or room lamp will come on
again
