start stop button NISSAN QASHQAI 2015 Owner´s Manual

•If the engine is revving up to a hazardous
speed in manual shift mode, the transmission
may shift up automatically. When the vehicle
speed decreases, the transmission automati-
cally shifts down and shifts to 1st gear before
the vehicle comes to a stop.
Accelerator downshift – In the D (Drive)
and Ds (Drive Sport) position
For rapid passing or driving uphill, fully depress the
accelerator pedal to the floor. This shifts the trans-
mission down into a lower gear, depending on the
vehicle speed.

jAShift lock release buttonIf the battery charge is low or discharged, the shift
lever may not move from the P (Park) position even
with the brake pedal depressed and the shift lever
button pushed.
To move the shift lever, perform the following proce-
dure:
1.Models with Intelligent Key system:
Place the ignition switch in the “OFF” or LOCK
position.
Models without Intelligent Key system:
Place the ignition switch in the LOCK position,
and remove the key if it is inserted.
2. Apply the parking brake.
3. Push down the shift lock release button
jA . Use
a suitable tool.
4. Push and hold the shift lever button and move
the shift lever to the N (Neutral) position while
holding down the shift lock release button.
Place the ignition switch in the ON position to un-
lock the steering wheel. The vehicle may be moved
to the desired location.
For models with Intelligent Key system: If the battery
is discharged completely, the steering wheel cannot
be unlocked. Do not move the vehicle with the steer-
ing wheel locked.
If the shift lever cannot be moved out of the P (Park)
position, have a NISSAN dealer or qualified work-
shop check the XTRONIC system as soon as pos-
sible.
WARNING
If the shift lever cannot be moved from the P
(Park) position while the engine is running and
the brake pedal is depressed, the stop lights may
not work. Malfunctioning stop lights could cause
an accident injuring yourself and others.
High fluid temperature protection mode
This transmission has a high fluid temperature pro-
tection mode. If the fluid temperature becomes too
high (for example, when climbing steep grades in
high temperature with heavy loads, such as when
towing a trailer), engine power and, under some
conditions, vehicle speed will be decreased auto-
matically to reduce the chance of transmission dam-
age. Vehicle speed can be controlled with the ac-
celerator pedal, but engine and vehicle speed may
be limited.
Fail-safe
When the fail-safe operation occurs, the vehicle
speed will be decreased automatically to reduce the
chance of transmission damage. Vehicle speed can
be controlled with the accelerator pedal, but the
engine power may be limited. Have a NISSAN dealer
or qualified workshop check and repair the trans-
mission.

Ultrasonic sensorsj1 andj2 , fitted in the vehicle’s
front and rear bumpers, measure the distances be-
tween the vehicle and an obstacle when reversing.
When reverse gear is engaged a top view of the
vehicle is shown in the vehicle information display.
On the display the distances (1 meter and less) to
objects are shown. If the object(s) get(s) closer to
the vehicle colours change from green over yellow
to red. If the text [STOP] is shown, stop the vehicle
before actually touching the object.
WARNING
If there is any doubt the surroundings in the path
of the parking area and/or the parking area itself
are not free from obstacles immediately stop the
vehicle and check.
NOTE
•This system is intended as an aid to parking,
to be used in conjunction with your rear view
mirror.
•Make sure that the ultrasonic sensors are not
obscured (by dirt, mud, snow, etc.).

between the parked vehicles. You will be told to
drive a short distance past the parking space,
and then stop.
3. Slowly move the vehicle forward to the correct
position until the IPA system instructs you to stop.
WARNING
If there is any doubt that the surroundings in
the path of the parking area and/or the park-
ing area itself are not free from obstacles im-

position for vehicles with XTRONIC trans-
mission.
•By placing the shift lever in the Neutral (N)

OPERATING TIPS
•The screen displayed on the Around View Moni-
tor will automatically return to the previous screen
three minutes after thebutton has
been pushed while the shift lever is in a position
other than the Reverse (R) position.
•When the view is switched, the display of im-
ages on the screen may be displayed with some
delay.
•When the temperature is extremely high or low,
the screen may not display objects clearly. This
is not a malfunction.
•When strong light directly shines on the camera,
objects may not be displayed clearly. This is not
a malfunction.
•The screen may flicker under fluorescent light.
This is not a malfunction.
•The colour of objects on the Around View Moni-
tor may differ somewhat from the actual colour
of objects. This is not a malfunction.
•Objects on the monitor may not be clear and the
colour of the object may differ in a dark environ-
ment. This is not a malfunction.
•There may be differences in sharpness between
each camera view of the bird view.
•If dirt, rain or snow accumulates on the camera,
the Around View Monitor may not display ob-
jects clearly. Clean the camera.
•Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner to clean
the camera. This will cause discoloration. To
clean the camera, wipe with a cloth that has
been dampened with a diluted mild cleaning
agent and then wipe with a dry cloth.
•Do not damage the camera because the monitor
screen may be adversely affected.
•Do not use wax on the camera lens. Wipe off any
wax with a clean cloth that has been dampened
with a mild detergent diluted with water.
•An intermittent tone will be heard when the ve-
hicle is moving during the guidance, and the
chime will ring when the vehicle comes to the
target position in each step. Stop the vehicle
when the chime rings and follow the next guid-
ance.
•Depending on the situation, multiple parking ma-
noeuvres may be required.NAA1492

Battery (Type A)
Check the fluid level in each cell. It should be be-
tween the UPPERj1 and LOWERj2 level lines.
If it is necessary to add fluid, add only distilled water
to bring the level to the indicator in each filler open-
ing.Do not overfill.
1. Remove the cell plugs
jA using a suitable tool.
j1OK
j2ADD
2. Add distilled water up to the UPPER level line
j1.
If the side of the battery is not clear, check the
electrolyte water level by looking directly above
the cell, as illustrated.
3. Tighten cell plugs.
CAUTION
Do not overfill battery cells. Excessive electrolyte
may leak out of the battery during charging, and
cause paint damage.
Maintenance free battery (Type B)
For a maintenance free battery it is not required to
check the fluid level. However, NISSAN recom-
mends to visually check the green indicator
jA sta-
tus periodically. If it is not visible, replace the battery
as soon as possible.
Reinitialisation procedure after battery
reconnection
If the battery has been reconnected, check the fol-
lowing items:
•Clock setting (where fitted). For details, see “Ve-
hicle information display” in the “2. Instruments
and controls” section, or the separately provided
NissanConnect Owner’s Manual, or the audio
device descriptions in “FM AM radio with CD
player (where fitted)” in the “4. Display screen,
heater and air conditioner, and audio system”
section.
•Reset the desired radio stations to the preset
station buttons. For details, see the audio device
descriptions in the “4. Heater and air conditioner,
and audio system”.
Models with Stop/Start System
•Ensure that the battery fitted is the special bat-
tery that is enhanced with regard to the charge-
discharge capacity and life performance. Avoid
using any other battery for the Stop/Start Sys-
tem, as this may cause early deterioration of the
battery or a malfunction of the Stop/Start Sys-
tem. It is recommended that a Genuine NISSAN
battery is fitted. For more information, contact a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
•If the battery terminal is disconnected (for bat-
tery replacement, etc.) and then reconnected,
there may be some delay before the Stop/Start
System reactivates.
