2013 NISSAN QASHQAI changing engine oil

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.)
Stop/Start System (where fitted)
For more information, see “Stop/Start System
(where fitted)” in the “5. Starting and driving” sec-
tion
j26Engine stop:
If the engine stops when the Stop/Start System is
activated, the message is shown.
j27Auto start deactivation:
If the engine stops when the Stop/Start System is
activated, and will not start automatically, the mes-
sage is shown.
j28System fault:
If the Stop/Start System is activated, but does not
operate correctly, the message is shown. Visit a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
Activating or deactivating using the Stop/Start
System OFF switch:
Using the Stop/Start System OFF switch activates
or deactivates the Stop/Start System. This is shown
in the vehicle information display:
j29 :The Stop/Start System OFF switch is
pushed to the “ON” position.
j30 :The Stop/Start System OFF switch is pushed to
the “OFF” position.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 1. Park the vehicle on a level surface and apply thehandbrake.
2. Start the engine. If the engine is cold, start and let the engine idle until it reaches the operational
temperature.
3. Turn the engine off.
4. Wait at least 10 minutes for the engine oil to drain back into the oil pan.
5. Open the bonnet. For details, see “Bonnet release” in the “3. Pre-driving checks and
adjustments” section.
6. Remove the dipstick and wipe it clean. Models with M9R engine: the engine oil dipstick
is attached to the engine oil filler cap. Remove
the engine oil filler cap and wipe the dipstick
clean.
7. Reinsert it all the way. Models with M9R engine: install the engine oil
filler cap.
8. Remove the dipstick again and check the oil level. It should be in the normal range
j1.
9. If the oil level is below MIN
j2 , remove the en-
gine oil filler cap and pour the recommended oil
through the opening. Do not overfill
j3.
10. Recheck the oil level with the dipstick.
11. Install the engine oil filler cap securely.
12. Close the bonnet. It is normal to add some engine oil between oil
maintenance intervals depending on the severity
of operating conditions or depending on the prop-
erty of the engine oil used. More engine oil is
consumed by frequent acceleration/deceleration
especially when the engine rpm is high. Con-
sumption is likely to be higher when the engine
is new. If the rate of oil consumption, after hav-
ing driven for 5,000 km (3,000 miles), is more
than 0.5 litre per 1,000 km (621 miles), consult a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
CHANGING ENGINE OIL
WARNING
NISSAN recommends contacting a NISSAN
dealer or qualified workshop for engine oil
servicing.
NISSAN GREEN PROGRAM
Used oil must not be poured into the ground,
canals, rivers, etc. It should be disposed of at
a rubbish tip having proper facilities. Check
your local regulations.
Be careful not to burn yourself, as the engine
oil is hot.
Prolonged and repeated contact with used
engine oil may cause skin cancer.
Avoid direct skin contact with used oil. If skin
contact is made, wash thoroughly with soap
or hand cleaner and plenty of water as soon
as possible.
Store used engine oil in marked containers
out of the reach of children.
