2012 NISSAN QASHQAI interior

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine AIR BAG WARNING LABELS
Warning labels about the air bag system are placed
in the vehicle. Warning labels are for your safety and
the safety of your passengers; do not remove them.
Child restraint on front passenger seat
NISSAN recommends that infants or small children
be seated in a child restraint system on the rear seat
if available. According to accident statistics, chil-
dren are safer when properly restrained in the rear
seat rather than in the front seat.
Front passenger air bag:
Your vehicle is equipped with a front passenger air
bag, you will find an air bag warning label attached
to the passenger side of the instrument panel as
shown in the previous illustration.
This label warns:
“Extreme Hazard! Do not use a rearward facing
child restraint on a seat protected by an air bag
in front of it!”
This label warns NOT to fit a rearward facing child
restraint on the front passenger seat without first
deactivating the front passenger air bag.
For instructions on deactivating the front passenger
air bag see “Front passenger air bag deactivation
system” later in this section.
When installing child restraints in your vehicle, al-
ways carefully observe the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions.For more details on the installation of child restraints,
see also “Child restraints” later in this section.
Side air bags:
Your vehicle is equipped with side air bags. You will
find a side air bag warning label attached to the
vehicle’s interior as shown in the previous illustra-
tion.
This label warns you not to let infants or small chil-
dren sit on the front passenger seat as the air bag
may cause serious injury in case of deployment dur-
ing a collision.
AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT
The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) air bag
warning light, displayingin the instrument
panel, monitors the circuits of the front air bag sys-
tem, the side and curtain air bag systems and the
pre-tensioner seat belt system. The circuits moni-
tored by the SRS air bag warning light are: all sen-
sors, air bag modules and all related wiring, and the
pre-tensioner seat belt. After turning the ignition switch to the ON or
START position, the supplemental air bag warn-
ing light illuminates. The air bag warning light will
turn off after approximately 7 seconds if the sys-
tem is operational.
Take your vehicle to the nearest NISSAN dealer or
qualified workshop to have the air bag systems and
pre-tensioner seat belt serviced if the SRS air bag
warning light:
Remains on after approximately 7 seconds
Flashes intermittently
Does not come on at all
Under these conditions, the front air bags, side and
curtain air bags and/or pre-tensioner seat belt will
not operate properly. They must be checked and
repaired.
Repair and replacement procedure
The front air bags, side air bags, curtain air bags,
and pre-tensioner seat belt system are designed to
activate on a one-time-only basis. As a reminder,
unless it is damaged, the air bag warning light will
remain illuminated after inflation has occurred. Re-
pair and replacement of the air bag system should
be done only by a NISSAN dealer or qualified work-
shop.
When maintenance work is required on the vehicle,
the air bag systems, related parts and pre-tensioner
seat belt should be pointed out to the person con-

LOCK or “OFF” position. In this case, the light re-
minder chime will sound when the driver’s door is

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine To sound the horn, push the centre pad areaj1of
the steering wheel. The front seats are warmed by built-in heaters.
The switches are located on the centre console and
can be operated independently from each other (
jA
for the left-hand side seat,jB for the right-hand side
seat).
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
NOTE
The seat heater can only be activated when
the ignition switch is in the ON position.
2. Start the engine.
3. Select the heat range:
Press the forward part of the switch (large
dot) to activate the “HIGH” heat setting.
Press the rear part of the switch (small dot) to
activate the “LOW” heat setting.
For no heat, the switch has a central “OFF”
position between “HIGH” and “LOW”. 4. The seat heater switches illuminate when either
heat setting is selected and will remain on as
long as the switch is on.
5. When the vehicle’s interior has warmed-up, or before you leave the vehicle, be sure to turn the
seat heater system off.
CAUTION
Do not use the seat heater system for a long
period of time when the engine is not running,
otherwise the battery could run down.
Do not put anything on the seat that insulates
the heat, such as a blanket, cushion, seat
cover, etc. Otherwise, the seat may overheat.
Do not place anything hard or heavy on the
seat or pierce it with a pin or similar object.
This may damage the heater.
Any liquid spilled on a heated seat should be
removed immediately with a dry cloth.
When cleaning the seat, never use benzine,
thinner or any similar materials.
If any abnormalities are found or the heating
does not operate, turn off the switch and have
the system checked by a NISSAN dealer or
qualified workshop.

c. From the fully open position, it returns to the closed position.
4. After reaching the closed position, release the sunshade switch.
5. The sunshade system is now reinitialised. NOTE
Do not disconnect the power for at least 2
seconds. If the reinitialisation procedure cannot be performed
successfully, take your vehicle to a NISSAN dealer
or qualified workshop.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine SIDE AND CENTRE VENTS
The direction of the air flow can be adjusted byjA
opening,jB closing orjC adjusting.
HIGH LEVEL VENT (where fitted)
Press thebutton to switch the mild air flow from
the upper vent on or off. Use the upper vent on hot
days to let cool air flow along the roof to the rear
passengers; and on cold days to improve the de-
frosting or defogging of the windows with warm air.
WARNING
Do not leave children or adults who would
normally require the support of others alone
in your vehicle. Pets should not be left alone
either. On hot, sunny days, temperatures in a
closed vehicle could quickly become high
enough to cause severe or possibly fatal inju-
ries to people or animals.
Do not use the recirculation mode for long
periods as it may cause the interior air to be-
come stale and the windows to fog up. It is
recommended that you use the outside air
mode in cold weather to keep the windows
clear.
Do not adjust the positioning of the heating/
ventilation or air conditioning controls while
driving.
NOTE
Condensation forms inside the air condition-
ing unit when the air conditioner is running,
and is safely discharged underneath your ve-
hicle.
Traces of water on the ground are therefore
normal.
Models with Stop/Start System:
Whilst the engine is stopped by the Stop/Start
System, selecting airflow to the front defog-
ger or switching on the rear defogger will
cause the engine the be automatically re-
started. Whilst the engine is running, selecting airflow
to the front defogger or switching on the rear
defogger will prevent the Stop/Start System
automatically stopping the engine.
The Stop/Start System will prevent unneces-
sary fuel consumption and exhaust emis-
sions. When the engine is stopped by the
Stop/Start System heater and air conditioner
performance may be reduced. To keep full
heater and air conditioner performance, re-
start the engine by pressing the Stop/Start
System OFF switch, or by turning the ignition
switch.
For more information on the Stop/Start Sys-
tem, see “Stop/Start System (where fitted)”
in the “5. Starting and driving” section.

turn to the outside air mode to avoid windows
from fogging-up and interior air from becom-
ing stale.
A visible mist may be seen coming from the
vents in hot, humid conditions as the air is
cooled rapidly this is not a malfunction.
For quick heating, press the air recirculation
() button to the “ON” position. Be sure to
return to the “OFF” position for normal heat-
ing (no indicator light) in order to avoid win-
dow fog and stale interior.
