2016 NISSAN QASHQAI locking

WARNING
Head restraints supplement the other vehicle
safety systems. They may provide additional pro-
tection against injury in certain rear end colli-
sions. Adjust the head restraints properly, as
specified in this section. Check the adjustment
after someone else uses the seat. Do not attach
anything to the head restraint stalks or remove
the head restraint. Do not use the seat if the
head restraint has been removed. If the head
restraint was removed, reinstall and properly ad-
just the head restraint before an occupant uses
the seating position. Failure to follow these in-
structions can reduce the effectiveness of the
head restraints. This may increase the risk of se-
rious injury or death in a collision.
•Your vehicle is equipped with head restraints.
On the front seats they are adjustable. On the
rear seats, where fitted, they are non-adjustable
but have a lower storage position.
•Adjustable head restraints have multiple notches
along the stalk to lock them in a desired adjust-
ment position.
•The non-adjustable head restraints have a single
locking notch to secure them to the seat frame.
•Proper Adjustment:
– For the adjustable type, align the head re-
straint so the centre of your ear is approxi-
mately level with the centre of the head re-
straint.– If your ear position is still higher than the rec-
ommended alignment, place the head
restraint at the highest position.
– For the non-adjustable type, raise into lock-
ing position before use. The seat should not
be occupied with the head restraint in the
lower storage position.
•If the head restraint has been removed, ensure
that it is reinstalled and locked in place before
riding in that designated seating position.

HEAD RESTRAINTS
1-6Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

•Never install a rear-facing child restraint sys-
tem on the front passenger seat without first
deactivating the passenger air bag with the
front passenger air bag switch (where fitted),
see “Front passenger air bag switch (where
fitted)” later in this section. In a frontal colli-
sion, supplemental front-impact air bags in-
flate with great force. An inflating supplemen-
tal front-impact air bag could seriously injure
or kill your child.
•Adjustable seatbacks should be positioned to
fit the child restraint system, but as upright as
possible.
•If the seat belt in the position where a child
restraint system is installed requires a locking
device and if it is not used, injuries could re-
sult from a child restraint system tipping over
during normal vehicle braking or cornering.
•After attaching a child restraint system, test it
before you place the child in it. Push it from
side to side and tug it forward to make sure
that it is held securely in place. The child re-
straint system should not move more than 25
mm (1 in). If the restraint is not secure, tighten
the belt as necessary, or install the restraint in
another seat and test it again.
•If a child restraint system is not anchored
properly, the risk of a child being injured in a
collision or a sudden stop greatly increases.
•Improper use of a child restraint system can
increase the risk or severity of injury for both
the child and other occupants in the vehicle.
•When the child restraint system is not in use,
keep it secured with the ISOFIX child restraint
system or a seat belt to prevent it from being
thrown around in case of a sudden stop or
accident.
NISSAN recommends that infants and small chil-
dren be seated in a child restraint system. You
should choose a child restraint system that fits your
vehicle and always follow the manufacturer’s in-
structions for installation and use. In addition, there
are many types of child restraint systems available
for larger children that should be used for maximum
protection.
CAUTION
Remember that a child restraint left in a closed
vehicle can become very hot. Check the seating
surface and buckles before placing your child in
a child restraint.
CHILD RESTRAINT AND ISOFIX
INFORMATION
When selecting any child restraint, keep the follow-
ing points in mind:
•Choose a child restraint that complies with the
latest European safety standard, ECE Regula-
tion 44.04.
•Place your child in the child restraint and check
the various adjustments to be sure the child re-
straint is compatible with your child. Always fol-
low all of the recommended procedures.
•Check the child restraint in your vehicle to be
sure it is compatible with vehicle’s seat belt sys-
tem.
•Refer to the tables later in this section for a list of
the recommended fitment positions and the ap-
proved child restraints for your vehicle.

3. Shorten the rigid attachment to have the child
restraint firmly tightened; press downwardj3
and rearwardj4 firmly in the centre of the child
restraint with your hand to compress the vehicle
seat cushion and seatback. If any contact occurs
between the child restraint and the front seat,
slide the front seat forward until contact no longer
occurs.
4. If the child restraint is equipped with a top tether
strap, route the top tether strap and secure the
tether strap to the tether anchor point. (See
“Child restraint anchorage” earlier in this sec-
tion.)
5. If the child restraint is equipped with other anti-
rotation devices such as support legs, use them
instead of the top tether strap following the child
restraint manufacturer’s instructions.
6. Test the child restraint before you place the child
in it
j5 . Push the child restraint from side to side
and tug it forward to make sure that it is held
securely in place.7. Check to make sure that the child restraint is

Installation on front passenger’s seat
WARNING
•Never install a rear-facing child restraint sys-
tem on the front passenger seat without first
deactivating the passenger air bag with the
front passenger air bag switch (where fitted),
see “Front passenger air bag switch (where
fitted)” later in this section. In a frontal colli-
sion, supplemental front-impact air bags in-
flate with great force. An inflating supplemen-
tal front-impact air bag could seriously injure
or kill your child.
•Never install a child restraint with a top tether
strap on the front seat.
•NISSAN recommends that a child restraint be
installed on the rear seat. However, if you
must install a child restraint on the front pas-
senger’s seat, move the passenger’s seat to
the rearmost position.
•Child restraints for infants must be used in
the rear-facing direction and therefore must
not be used on the front passenger’s seat
when the front passenger’s air bag has not
been deactivated.
Front-facing:
Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for
the proper use of your child restraint. Follow these
steps to install a front-facing child restraint on the
front passenger’s seat using a 3-point type seat belt
without automatic locking mode:
1. Turn off the front passenger air bag using the
front passenger air bag switch. (See “Supple-
mental Restraint System (SRS)” later in this sec-
tion.) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position
and make sure that the front air bag status light
illuminates.

To prevent slack in the lap belt, secure the shoul-
der belt in place with a locking clip
jA . Use a
locking clip attached to the child restraint sys-
tem, or one which is equivalent in dimensions
and strength.
Be sure to follow the child restraint system
manufacturer’s instructions for belt routing.
6. Slide the seat forwards so that the seat belt fully
tightens the child restraint system and the child
restraint reaches the vehicle dashboard.
7. Test the child restraint system before you place
the child in it. Check that it does not tilt too far
from side to side. Try to tug it forwards and check
if it is held securely in place.
PRECAUTIONS ON SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)
This Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) section
contains important information concerning the driv-
er’s and passenger’s supplemental front impact air
bags, front seat-mounted side-impact supplemental
air bags, roof-mounted curtain side-impact air bags,
and pre-tensioner seat belts.
Supplemental front-impact air bag
system
This system can help cushion the impact force to
the head and chest area of the driver and/or front
passenger in certain frontal collisions. The supple-
mental front-impact air bag is designed to inflate on
the front where the vehicle is impacted.
Front seat-mounted side-impact
supplemental air bag system
(where fitted)
This system can help cushion the impact force to
the chest and pelvis areas of the driver and front
passenger in certain side-impact collisions. The front
seat-mounted side-impact supplemental air bag is
designed to inflate on the side where the vehicle is
impacted.

Door lock indicator light
(where fitted)
The door lock indicator light located on the instru-
ment panel illuminates when all the doors are locked
while the ignition switch is in the ON position.
•When the doors are locked with the power door
lock switch, the door lock indicator light will illu-
minate for 30 minutes.
•When the doors are locked by pushing the
LOCK button on the Intelligent Key or any re-
quest switch (where fitted), the door lock indica-
tor light will illuminate for 1 minute.
•The door lock indicator light turns off when any

tion.
Electronic Stability Programme
(ESP) OFF indicator light
(where fitted)
The light comes on when the Electronic Stability
Programme (ESP) OFF switch is pushed to the OFF
position. This indicates that the ESP system is not
operating.
This light also comes on briefly when the ignition
switch is turned to the ON position. The light will
turn off after approximately 1 second if the ESP sys-
tem is operational.
When the ESP OFF indicator light and SLIP indica-tor light (see “SLIP indicator light (where fitted)”
later in this section) come on with the ESP system
turned on, it alerts the driver to the fact that the sys-
tem’s fail-safe mode is operating. This means that
the system may not be functioning properly. Have
the system checked by your NISSAN dealer or quali-
fied workshop.
If an abnormality occurs in the system, the ESP sys-
tem function will be cancelled, but the vehicle is still
driveable. For additional information, see “Electronic
Stability Programme (ESP) system (where fitted)” in
the “5. Starting and driving” section.
Front fog light indicator light
The light comes on when the front fog lights are
switched on (see “Fog light switch” later in this sec-
tion).

High beam indicator light
This light comes on when the headlight high beam
is on and goes out when the low beam is selected.
Malfunction Indicator light
(orange)
When the ignition switch is turned to the ON posi-
tion, the orange Malfunction Indicator light illumi-
nates. This means that the system is operational.
If the orange Malfunction Indicator light comes on
steady or blinks (where fitted) while the engine is
running, it may indicate an engine control system
malfunction.
See “Malfunction warning light (red) (where fitted)”
earlier in this section for details of the red malfunc-
tion warning light (where fitted).
On steady (orange):
An engine malfunction has been detected. Have the
vehicle inspected by a NISSAN dealer or qualified
workshop. You do not need to have your vehicle
towed to the dealer.
Blinking (orange) (where fitted):
An engine misfire has been detected which may
damage the engine control system.
To reduce or avoid engine control system dam-
age:
•Do not drive at speeds above 70 km/h (43
MPH).
