2014 NISSAN QASHQAI warning

LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT/BOOT
FLOOR (where fitted)
WARNING
•Properly secure all cargo with ropes or straps
to help prevent it from sliding or shifting. Do
not place cargo higher than the seatbacks. In
a sudden stop or collision, unsecured cargo
could cause personal injury.
•Do not put objects heavier than 50 kg (110
lbs) on the load floor.
•Never allow anyone to ride in the luggage
area. It is extremely dangerous to ride in a
luggage area inside of a vehicle. In a collision,
people riding in these areas are more likely to
be seriously injured or killed.
•Only two anchorage points identified by the
top tether labels can be used for top tether
strap anchorage. Under no circumstances
should the luggage hooks be used for top
tether strap anchorage.
The luggage (cargo) compartment or boot floor has
a dual surface (wet and dry), or dual position system
with loose floorboards that allow different luggage
compartment arrangements.
CAUTION
•The carpet finish should face up for all dry use
applications.
•The smooth surface should be used only when
loading wet objects.
•The load should be distributed evenly and
should not exceed 50 kg (110 lb) on any of the
boards/panels.
•To avoid any damage, the panels/boards
should be placed in the lower positionjB for
heavy loads and securely held with ropes or
straps to prevent any load shift.
Upper positionjA
This position provides a flat load floor when the rear
seat backs are folded forward. It also serves as a
concealed load area for objects placed below the
boards.
NOTE
The parcel shelf can be securely stored under
the luggage compartment floor boards.
Move the boards as illustrated by lifting and sliding
each board into the upper position
jA.
1) Remove the larger floorboard as illustrated by
lifting and sliding it into the upper position
jA.
2) Repeat the operation with the smaller board.
Lower positionjB
This position maximises the load space in the lug-
gage compartment.
Move both boards as illustrated by lifting and sliding
each board into the lower position
jB.
Vertical positionsjC
These positions provide further subdivisions of the
luggage space by standing either one of the boards
vertically in the midway slots provided in the side
trim.
LUGGAGE HOOKS
The luggage hooks are for shopping bags, etc.
WARNING
•Do not apply a total load of more than 3 kg (7
lb) to the hook.

POWER WINDOWS
The power window switches are located on the door
panels and will only operate when the ignition switch
is in the ON position.
WARNING
•Make sure that all passengers have their
hands, etc. inside the vehicle before operat-
ing the power windows.
•Never leave children or adults who would nor-
mally require the support of others alone in
the vehicle. They could unknowingly activate
switches or controls and inadvertently
become involved in an accident.
•It is recommended to instruct all occupants in
the safe operation of power windows with par-
ticular emphasis given to the safety and su-
pervision of children.
The power windows only operate when the ignition
switch is in the “ON” position.
To open a window, push down the power window
switch.
To close a window, pull up the power window
switch.

When the lock button
j1 is pushed in, the passen-
gers’ windows cannot be operated.
To cancel the passengers’ windows lock, push the
lock button

WINDOWS
2-48Instruments and controls

The automatic function enables a window to fully
open or close without holding the switch down or
up.
To fully open the window, push the power window
switch down to the second detent and release the
switch. To fully close the window, pull the power
window switch up to the second detent and release
the switch. The switch does not have to be held dur-

Auto-reverse function:
WARNING
•There is a small distance just before the
closed position which cannot be detected.
Make sure that all passengers have their
hands, etc. inside the vehicle before closing
the windows.
•The auto-reverse function does not work
when the window is closed manually (holding
the switch in the close position).
The auto-reverse function enables a window to au-
tomatically reverse when something is caught in the
window as it is closing by the automatic function.
When the control unit detects an obstacle, the win-
dow will be lowered immediately.Depending on the environment or driving conditions,
the auto-reverse function may activate if an impact
or load similar to something being caught in the win-
dow occurs.
Reinitialisation procedure after battery
reconnection
Some power window functions (automatic close
function, auto-reverse function) will not operate as
described after the battery cable is disconnected or
the electrical supply is interrupted. Perform the fol-
lowing procedure to initialise the power window
functions.
1. Place the ignition switch in the “ON” position.
2. If the driver’s window is closed, open it com-
pletely by operating the driver’s window switch.
3. Pull up and hold the driver’s window switch to
close the driver’s window. Hold the switch for
approximately 5 seconds after the window has
been fully closed, and then release it.
4. Check if the power window functions operate
properly.
If you open or close the power window continu-
ously, it may cause the power window not to oper-
ate properly. Perform the above procedure.
If the power window functions do not operate prop-
erly after performing the above procedure, repeat
the steps. See a NISSAN dealer or qualified work-
shop, if necessary, for checking the power window
system.

The remote keyless entry system can operate all
door locks (including the back door) using the inte-
grated keyfob. The integrated keyfob can operate at
a distance of approximately 5 m (15 ft) from thevehicle (the effective distance depends upon the
conditions around the vehicle and the state of the
keyfob battery).
As many as 5 remote controllers can be used with
one vehicle. For information about the purchase and
use of additional remote controllers, contact a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
The integrated keyfob will not function under the fol-
lowing conditions:
•When the distance between the integrated key-
fob and vehicle is more than approximately 5 m
(15 ft).
•When the integrated keyfob battery is
discharged.
•When the key is in the ignition switch.
All doors can be locked or unlocked from the out-
side by pressing the “LOCK”
or “UNLOCK”button on the integrated keyfob.
For Super Lock system models only:
When the vehicle is occupied, never lock the
doors with the integrated keyfob. Doing so will
trap the occupants, since the Super Lock system
prevents the doors from being opened from the
inside.
WARNING
Only operate the integrated keyfob lock button in
full and clear view of the vehicle to prevent any-
body being trapped inside the vehicle.CAUTION
•When locking the doors using the integrated
keyfob, be sure not to leave the key in the
vehicle.
•Always remove the ignition key or Intelligent
Key, close all windows before operating the
keyfob door lock system.
•Ensure that the driver’s door is securely
closed before operating the integrated keyfob
door lock system for correct operation of the
system.
•Do not allow the integrated keyfob, which
contains electrical components, to come into
contact with water or salt water. This could
affect the system function.
•Do not drop the integrated keyfob.
•Do not strike the integrated keyfob sharply
against another object.
•Do not place the integrated keyfob for an ex-
tended period in an area where temperatures
exceed 60°C (140°F).
If a integrated keyfob is lost or stolen, NISSAN rec-
ommends erasing the ID code of that integrated
keyfob from the vehicle. This may prevent the unau-
thorised use of the integrated keyfob to unlock the
vehicle. For information regarding the erasing pro-
cedure, contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified work-
shop.

WARNING
Super Lock system equipped models:
Failure to follow the precautions below may lead
to hazardous situations. Make sure the Super
Lock system activation is always conducted
safely.
•When the vehicle is occupied, never lock the
doors with the integrated keyfob. Doing so
will trap the occupants, since the Super Lock
system prevents the doors from being opened
