ignition NISSAN QASHQAI 2016 Owner´s Manual

RECOMMENDED TOWING FOR
TWO-WHEEL DRIVE (2WD) MODELS
CAUTION
NEVER tow XTRONIC transmission (CVT) models
with the front wheels on the ground or with all
four wheels on the ground (forwards or back-
wards), this may cause serious and expensive
damage to the transmission. If it is necessary to
tow the vehicle with the rear wheels raised, al-
ways use towing dollies under the front wheels.
NISSAN recommends that your vehicle should be
towed with the driving (front) wheels off the ground
or that the vehicle be placed on a flat bed lorry as
illustrated.
When towing with the front wheels – on the
ground (MT models only) or – on towing dollies:
Turn the ignition switch to the “OFF” position, then
secure the steering wheel in a straight ahead posi-
tion using a rope or similar device.Never place the
ignition switch in the LOCK position.This will re-
sult in damage to the steering lock mechanism.
RECOMMENDED TOWING FOR
FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE (4WD) MODELS
CAUTION
NEVER tow the vehicle with any wheels on the
ground as this may cause serious and expensive
damage to the transmission.
NISSAN recommends that towing dollies be used
when towing your vehicle or that the vehicle be
placed on a flat bed lorry as illustrated.
When towing with the front wheels on towing dol-
lies:
Turn the ignition switch to the “OFF” position, then
secure the steering wheel in a straight ahead posi-
tion using a rope or similar device.Never place the
ignition switch in the LOCK position.This will re-
sult in damage to the steering lock mechanism.

In case of emergency6-15

Occasionally remove loose dust from the interior
trim, plastic parts and seats using a vacuum cleaner
or soft bristled brush. Wipe the vinyl and leather sur-
faces with a clean, soft cloth dampened in mild soap
solution, then wipe clean with a dry, soft cloth.
Regular care and cleaning is required in order to
maintain the appearance of the leather.
Before using any fabric protector, read the manu-
facturer’s recommendations. Some fabric protec-
tors contain chemicals that may stain or bleach the
seat material.
Use a soft cloth dampened only with water to clean
the meter and gauge lens covers.
CAUTION
•Never use benzine, thinner or any similar ma-
terial.
•Small dirt particles can be abrasive and dam-
aging to leather surfaces and should be re-
moved promptly. Do not use saddle soap, car
waxes, polishes, oils cleaning fluids, solvents,
detergents or ammonia based cleaners as
they may damage the leather’s natural finish.
•Never use fabric protectors unless recom-
mended by the manufacturer.
•Do not use glass or plastic cleaner on meter
or gauge lens covers. It may damage the lens
covers.
MONITOR DISPLAY’S MAINTENANCE
(where fitted)
•To clean the display screen, first turn the ignition
off and wipe it with a dry soft cloth.
•Never use a rough cloth, alcohol, benzine, thin-
ner, any kind of solvent, or paper tissues with
chemical cleaning agent. They would scratch or
deteriorate the panel.
•Do not splash any liquid such as water or car fra-
grance on the display. Contact with liquid will
cause the system to malfunction and damage
the hardware.
•In case of extreme stain, use a small amount of
neutral detergent with a soft cloth. Never soak
the screen display with water detergent.
AIR FRESHENERS
Most air fresheners use a solvent that could affect
the vehicle interior. If you use an air freshener, take
the following precautions:
•Hanging-type air fresheners can cause perma-
nent discoloration when they contact vehicle in-
terior surfaces. Place the air freshener in a loca-
tion that allows it to hang free and not contact an
interior surface.
•Liquid-type air fresheners typically clip on the
vents. These products can cause immediate
damage and discoloration when spilled on inte-
rior surfaces.
Carefully read and follow the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions before using air fresheners.
FLOOR MATS
The use of NISSAN floor mats can extend the life of
your vehicle carpet and make it easier to clean the
interior. Regardless of what mats are used, be sure
they are fitted for your vehicle and are properly posi-
tioned in the foot well to prevent interference with
pedal operation. Mats should be maintained with
regular cleaning and replaced if they become exces-
sively worn.
Floor mat positioning aid
Note that the above illustration is for LHD models.
This vehicle includes front floor mat brackets
jAto
act as a floor mat positioning aid. NISSAN floor
mats have been specially designed for your vehicle.
Position the mat by placing the floor mat bracket
hook through the floor mat grommet hole while cen-
tering the mat in the foot area.
Periodically check that the mats are properly posi-
tioned.

CLEANING INTERIOR
7-4Appearance and care

longer to stop, contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified
workshop immediately. Keep the floor mat away
from the pedal.
Parking brake*:
Confirm that your vehicle is held securely on a fairly
steep hill with only the parking brake applied.
Seats:
Check seat position controls such as seat adjust-
ers, seatback recliner, etc. to ensure they operate
smoothly and all latches lock securely in every posi-
tion. Check that the head restraints move up and
down smoothly and the locks hold securely in all
latched positions.
Seat belts:
Check that all parts of the seat belt system (e.g.
buckles, anchors, adjusters and retractors) operate
properly and smoothly, and are installed securely.
Check the belt webbing for cuts, fraying, wear or
damage. See “Seat belts” in the “1. Safety — Seats,
Seat belts and Supplemental Restraint System” sec-
tion for further details.
Steering wheel:
Check for any change in the steering conditions,
such as excessive free play, hard steering or strange
noises.
Warning lights and audible reminders:
Make sure that all warning/indicator lights and au-
dible reminders are operating properly.Windscreen defogger:
Check that the air comes out of the defogger outlets
properly when operating the heater or air condi-
tioner.
Windscreen wiper and washer*:
Check that the wipers and washer operate properly
and that the wipers do not streak.When performing any inspection or maintenance
work on your vehicle, always take care to prevent
serious accidental injury to yourself or damage to
the vehicle. The following are general precautions
which should be closely observed.
•Park the vehicle on a level surface, apply the
parking brake securely and block the wheels
to prevent the vehicle from moving. For
manual transmission models, move the shift
lever to N (Neutral) position.For continuously
variable transmission models: move the shift
lever to P (Park) position.
•Do not work under the engine bonnet while
the engine is hot. Turn off the engine and wait
until it cools down.
•Be sure to turn the ignition switch to the “OFF”
or LOCK position.
When the ignition switch is in the ON or Acc
position, the cooling fan may start to operate
suddenly even when the engine is not run-
ning. To avoid injury, always disconnect the
negative battery cable before working near
the engine.
•If you must work with the engine running,
keep your hands, clothing, hair and tools away
from moving fans, belts and any other moving
parts.
•It is advisable to remove ties and any jewel-
lery, such as rings, watches, etc. before work-
ing on your vehicle.
MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS
8-4Maintenance and do-it-yourself

•If you must run the engine in an enclosed
space such as a garage, be sure there is
proper ventilation for exhaust gases.
•DO NOT GET UNDER A VEHICLE THAT IS
SUPPORTED BY A JACK.
•Keep smoking materials, flame and sparks
away from fuel and battery.
•Never connect or disconnect either the bat-
tery or any transistorised component connec-
tor while the ignition switch is in the ON posi-
tion.
•Never leave the engine or transmission re-
lated component harness connector discon-
nected while the ignition switch is in the ON
position.
•On petrol engine models with the multiport
fuel injection (MFI) system, the fuel filter or
fuel lines should be serviced by a NISSAN
dealer or qualified workshop because the fuel
lines are under high pressure even when the
engine is off.
•Always wear eye protection whenever you
work on your vehicle.
•Failure to follow these or other common sense
guidelines may lead to serious injury or ve-
hicle damage.
