reversing NISSAN QASHQAI 2012 Owners Manual

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine jACamera
When the gear or selector lever (AT or CVT) is
moved into the R (Reverse) position, the monitor
(NISSAN Connect display) shows the view from the
rear of the vehicle.
The system is designed as an aid to the driver in
detecting large stationary objects. It is intended to
help avoid damaging the vehicle when reversing.
However, the system will not detect small objects
below the bumper and may not detect objects close
to the bumper or on the ground.
WARNING
The rear-view camera is a convenience but it
is not a substitute for proper reversing. Al-
ways turn your head and visually check that
the manoeuvre is safe to do so before revers-
ing. Always reverse slowly.
The distance from the objects viewed in the
rear-view monitor differs from actual distance because of the use of wide-angle lens. Ob-
jects in the rear-view monitor will appear visu-
ally reversed compared to those viewed in the
inside and outside mirrors.
Make sure that the back door is securely
closed when reversing.
The area below the bumper and corner areas
of the bumper cannot be viewed on the rear-
view monitor because of its monitoring range
limitation.
Do not put anything on the rear-view camera.
The rear-view camera is installed above the
number plate.
When washing the vehicle with high pressure
water, be sure not to spray it around the cam-
era. Otherwise, water may enter the camera
unit causing possibly water condensation on
the lens, a malfunction, a fire or an electric
shock.
Do not strike the camera. It is a precision in-
strument. Otherwise, it may malfunction or
cause damage resulting in a fire or an electric
shock.
CAUTION
There is a transparent cover over the camera
lens. Do not scratch the cover when cleaning dirt
or snow from it.
HOW TO READ THE DISPLAYED
LINES
WARNING
Use the displayed lines as a reference. The
lines are highly affected by the number of oc-
cupants, fuel level, vehicle position, road con-
dition and road grade. Always check with your
eyes directly around the vehicle while revers-
ing.
The distance guide line and the vehicle width
line should be used as a reference only when
the vehicle is on a level paved surface. The
distance viewed on the monitor is for refer-
ence only and may be different than the ac-
tual distance between the vehicle and dis-
played objects.
When reversing the vehicle up a hill, objects
viewed in the monitor are further than they
appear. When reversing the vehicle down a
hill, objects viewed in the monitor are closer

j5:
Indicate the vehicle width when reversing.
Predictive course lines
j6:
Indicate the predictive course when operating the
vehicle. The predictive course lines will be displayed
on the monitor when the steering wheel is turned.
The predictive course lines will move depending on
how much the steering wheel is turned and will not
be displayed while the steering wheel is in the neu-
tral position.
The front view will not be displayed when the vehicle
speed is above 10 km/h (6 MPH).
WARNING
The distance between objects viewed in the
rear view differs from actual distance because
a wide-angle lens is used. Objects in the rear
view will appear visually opposite than when
viewed in the rear view and outside mirrors.
On a snow-covered or slippery road, there
may be a difference between the predictive
course line and the actual course line.
If the battery is disconnected or becomes dis-
charged, the predictive course lines may be
displayed incorrectly. If this occurs visit a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
If predictive course lines are displayed incor-
rectly visit a NISSAN dealer or qualified work-
shop.
The displayed lines on the rear view will ap-
pear slightly off to the right because the rear
view camera is not installed in the rear centre
of the vehicle.
NOTE
When the monitor displays the front view and the
steering wheel turns about 90 degrees or less
from the neutral position, both the right and left
predictive course lines
j6 are displayed. When
the steering wheel turns about 90 degrees or
more, a line is displayed only on the opposite
side of the turn.
Bird’s-eye view
The bird’s-eye view shows the overhead view of the
vehicle which helps to confirm the vehicle position.
The vehicle icon
j1 shows the position of the ve-
hicle.
NOTE
The size of the vehicle icon on the bird’s-eye
view may differ somewhat from the actual ve-
hicle.
The areas that the cameras cannot cover are indi-
cated in black.
At first operation, the corner lines
j2 on all four cor-
ners of the vehicle icon are blinking yellow for about
3 seconds. The four corners
j3 of the vehicle are
displayed in red.
NOTE
Corner lines
j2 blink (yellow) on all four corners
of the vehicle icon as a reminder to be cautious.
This is not a malfunction.
WARNING
Objects in the bird’s-eye view will appear fur-
ther than the actual distance because the
bird’s-eye view is a pseudo view that is pro-
cessed by combining the views from the cam-
eras on the outside mirrors, the front and the
rear of the vehicle.NAA1236

NOTE
The [Total Saving] values cannot be reset
and show accumulated Stop/Start System
information since the vehicle was built.Ultrasonic sensors
jA , fitted in the vehicle’s rear
bumper, measure the distance between the vehicle
and an obstacle when reversing. When reverse gear
is engaged a beeping sound is heard. The frequency
of the beeps will increase the closer you come to
the obstacle until, the sound becomes a constant
beep when, the vehicle is approximately 30 cm (12
in) from the obstacle.
NOTE
This system is intended as an aid to reversing,
to be used in conjunction with your rear view
mirror.
Make sure that the ultrasonic sensors are not
obscured (by dirt, mud, snow, etc.). The Four Wheel Drive (4WD) system is used to
select 2WD, AUTO, or LOCK depending on the
driving conditions.
The Four Wheel Drive (4WD) system controls the
coupling operation. Turn the control (located on the
centre console) to select each mode: 2WD, AUTO
or LOCK depending on the driving conditions.
AUTO: Turn the 4WD mode control to the neutral
(AUTO) position and the Four-Wheel Drive (4WD)
AUTO indicator light
on the combination meter
illuminates.
2WD: Turn the control clockwise to the 2WD posi-
tion.
LOCK: When the control is turned anticlockwise to
the LOCK position, it springs back to the AUTO
position when released. The 4WD LOCK mode in-
dicator light
illuminates on the combination
meter, to show LOCK mode is engaged. To disen-
gage LOCK mode, turn the control anticlockwise
again to the LOCK position and release. The 4WD
LOCK mode indicator light will go out.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Even if the mode automatically changes to AUTO
mode, when driving in the LOCK mode, the indi-
cator light stays in the LOCK mode.
CAUTION
Only use the 4WD mode control when driving
in a straight direction (to select 2WD, AUTO or
LOCK).
Do not use the 4WD mode control when turn-
ing or reversing.
Do not use the 4WD mode control with the
front wheels spinning (to select 2WD, AUTO,
or LOCK).
Be especially careful when starting or driving
on slippery surfaces with the 4WD mode set
to AUTO.
Do not drive on dry, hard surfaced roads in
the LOCK position.
4WD WARNING LIGHT
Warning light Indication
mComes onThere is a malfunction in the Four-
Wheel Drive (4WD) system.
mBlinks rapidlyThe power train oil temperature is
abnormally high.
mBlinks slowlyThe difference in wheel rotation is
large.
The 4WD warning light is located in the tachometer.
The 4WD warning light comes on when the ignition
switch is turned to the ON position and turns off
soon after the engine is started. If the 4WD warning
light comes on, the 4WD mode indicator light will go
out.
If the 4WD system malfunctions, or the revolution or
radius of the front and the rear wheels differ, the
warning light will either remain illuminated or blink
as follows:
High temperature transfer case oil makes the
warning light blink rapidly (approximately twice per second). Stop the vehicle in a safe place
with the engine idling. If, after a while, the light
goes out you can continue driving.
Where the difference in rotation between the
front and rear wheels is large (wheel slip) - such
as when driving on rough roads through sand,
mud, or freeing a stuck vehicle - the warning
light will blink slowly (approximately once per two
seconds). Set the 4WD mode to 2WD and do
not drive fast. A large difference in diameters
between the front and rear wheels will also cause
the 4WD warning light to blink slowly. Check
that all the tyre sizes are the same, the tyre pres-
sures are correct, and that the tyres are not worn.
CAUTION
If the warning light comes on or blinks while
driving, 4WD mode will change to 2WD mode.
Reduce the vehicle speed and have your ve-
hicle checked by a NISSAN dealer or qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
Do not drive on dry, hard surfaced roads in
the LOCK position.
If the 4WD warning light blinks in the follow-
ing sequence while driving, proceed as in-
structed:
– Blinks rapidly (about twice a second) Pull off the road at a safe place and idle the
engine. The driving mode will change to 2WD
to prevent the 4WD system from malfunction-
ing. The vehicle can be driven again as soon
as the warning light turns off.
