2018 NISSAN QASHQAI ECO mode

1-50Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
to be automatically turned OFF. For small
adults it may be turned OFF, however, if
the occupant does not sit in the seat
properly (for example, by not sitting up-
right, by sitting on an edge of the seat, or
by otherwise being out of position), this
could cause the sensors to turn the air
bag OFF. Always be sure to be seated and
wearing the seat belt properly for the
most effective protection by the seat belt
and supplemental air bag.
NISSAN recommends that pre-teens and
children be properly restrained in a rear
seat. NISSAN also recommends that ap-
propriate child restraints and booster
seats be properly installed in a rear seat.
If this is not possible, the occupant
classification sensors are designed to
operate as described above to turn the
front passenger air bag OFF for specified
child restraints. Failing to properly secure
child restraints and to use the Automatic
Locking Retractor (ALR) mode (child re-
straint mode) may allow the restraint to
tip or move in an accident or sudden stop.
This can also result in the passenger air
bag inflating in a crash instead of being
OFF. (See “Child restraints” (P.1-20) for
proper use and installation.)
If the front passenger seat is not occu-
pied, the passenger air bag is designed
not to inflate in a crash. However, heavyobjects placed on the seat could result in
air bag inflation, because of the object
being detected by the occupant classifi-
cation sensors. Other conditions could
also result in air bag inflation, such as if a
child is standing on the seat, or if two
children are on the seat, contrary to the
instructions in this manual. Always be
sure that you and all vehicle occupants
are seated and restrained properly.
Using the front passenger air bag status
light, you can monitor when the front
passenger air bag is automatically turned
OFF.
If an adult occupant is in the seat but the
front passenger air bag status light is
illuminated (indicating that the air bag is
OFF), it could be that the person is a small
adult, or is not sitting on the seat
properly.
If a child restraint must be used in the
front seat, the front passenger air bag
status light may or may not be illumi-
nated, depending on the size of the child
and the type of child restraint being used.
If the front passenger air bag status light
is not illuminated (indicating that the air
bag might inflate in a crash), it could be
that the child restraint or seat belt is not
being used properly. Make sure that the
child restraint is installed properly, the
seat belt is used properly and the occu-pant is positioned properly. If the front
passenger air bag status light is not
illuminated, reposition the occupant or
child restraint in a rear seat.
If the front passenger air bag status light
will not illuminate even though you be-
lieve that the child restraint, the seat belts
and the occupant are properly positioned,
it is recommended that you take your
vehicle to a NISSAN dealer. A NISSAN
dealer can check the system status by
using a special tool. However, until you
have confirmed with your dealer that
your air bag is working properly, reposi-
tion the occupant or child restraint in a
rear seat.
The NISSAN Advanced Air Bag System
and front passenger air bag status light
will take a few seconds to register a
change in the passenger seat status. This
is normal system operation and does not
indicate a malfunction.
If a malfunction occurs in the front
passenger air bag system, the supple-
mental air bag warning light
, located
in the meters and gauges area, will
illuminate. Have the system checked. It is
recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer
for this service.

If an ABS malfunction occurs, the anti-
lock function is turned off. The brake
system then operates normally, but with-
out anti-lock assistance. (See “Brake sys-
tem” (P.5-106).)
orBrake warning light
(red)
This light functions for both the parking
brake and the foot brake systems.
Parking brake indicator (models not
equipped with electronic parking brake
system):
When the ignition switch is in the ON
position, the light illuminates when the
parking brake is applied.
Low brake fluid warning light:
When the ignition switch is placed in the
ON position, the brake warning light
illuminates, and then turns off (models
equipped with electronic parking brake
system). If the light illuminates while the
engine is running with the parking brake
not applied, stop the vehicle and perform
the following:
1. Check the brake fluid level. If brake fluid is necessary, add fluid and have
the system checked. It is recom- mended you have this service per-
formed by a NISSAN dealer. (See
“Brake and clutch fluid” (P.8-9).)
2. If the brake fluid level is correct, have the warning system checked. It is
recommended you have this service
performed by a NISSAN dealer.
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) warning
indicator:
When the parking brake is released and
the brake fluid level is sufficient, if both
the brake warning light and the Anti-lock
Braking System (ABS) warning light illu-
minate, it may indicate the ABS is not
functioning properly. Have the brake
system checked, and if necessary re-
paired. It is recommended you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service. (See “Anti-
lock Braking System (ABS) warning light”
(P.2-10).)
WARNING
. Your brake system may not be
working properly if the warning
light is on. Driving could be dan-
gerous. If you judge it to be safe,
drive carefully to the nearest
service station for repairs. Other-
wise, have your vehicle towed
because driving it could be dan- gerous.
. Pressing the brake pedal with the
engine stopped and/or low brake
fluid level may increase your
stopping distance and braking
will require greater pedal effort
as well as pedal travel.
. If the brake fluid level is below the
minimum or MIN mark on the
