brake NISSAN QASHQAI 2016 Owner´s Manual

on the driver side centre pillar, to turn the low
tyre pressure warning light off. If the light still
illuminates while driving after adjusting the
tyre pressure, a tyre may be flat. If you have a
flat tyre, repair it with the emergency tyre
puncture repair kit (where fitted) or replace it
with a spare tyre (where fitted) as soon as
possible.
•After adjusting the tyre pressure, be sure to
reset the TPMS. Unless the resetting is per-
formed, the TPMS will not warn of the low tyre
pressure correctly.
•When a spare tyre is mounted or a wheel is
replaced, the TPMS will not function and the
low tyre pressure warning light will flash for
approximately 1 minute. The light will remain
on after 1 minute. Contact a NISSAN dealer or
qualified workshop as soon as possible for
tyre replacement and/or system resetting.
•Replacing tyres with those not originally speci-
fied by NISSAN could affect the proper opera-
tion of the TPMS.
CAUTION
•The TPMS is not a substitute for the regular
tyre pressure check. Be sure to check the tyre
pressure regularly.
•If the vehicle is being driven at speeds of less
than 25 km/h (16 MPH), the TPMS may not
operate correctly.
•Be sure to install the specified size of tyres to
all four wheels correctly.
Malfunction warning light (red)
(where fitted)
When the ignition switch is turned to the ON posi-
tion, the malfunction warning light illuminates. This
means the system is operational.
See “Malfunction Indicator light (orange)” later in
this section for details of the orange Malfunction
Indicator light.
If the red malfunction warning light comes on steady
while the engine is running, it may indicate an en-
gine control system malfunction.
Have your vehicle inspected by a NISSAN dealer or
qualified workshop. You do not need to have your
vehicle towed to the dealer.
CAUTION
Continued vehicle operation without having the
engine control system checked and repaired as
necessary could lead to poor driveability,
reduced fuel economy and possible damage to
the engine control system, which may affect your
warranty coverage.
Incorrect setting of the engine control system may
lead to non-compliance of local and national emis-
sion laws and regulations.
Master warning light
When the ignition switch is in the ON position, the
master warning light illuminates if any of the follow-
ing are displayed in the vehicle information display
(see “Vehicle information display” later in this sec-
tion):
•No key warning
•Key ID incorrect warning
•Low windscreen washer fluid warning
•Parking brake release warning
•Door/boot open warning
•Low tyre pressure warning
•Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) warning (where fitted)
•Intelligent Key system warning
If the driver assist system warnings (where fitted)
appear in the vehicle information display, the master
warning light also illuminates. See “Blind Spot Warn-
ing (BSW) system (where fitted)” in the “5. Starting
and driving” section, “Lane Departure Warning
(LDW) system (where fitted)” in the “5. Starting and
driving” section, and/or “Forward emergency brak-
ing system (where fitted)” in the “5. Starting and

NATS security warning light
This light blinks when the ignition switch is in the
LOCK, “OFF” or Acc position. This function indi-
cates that your vehicle is equipped with the NISSAN

Low brake fluid warning light:
When the ignition switch is in the ON position, the
light warns of a low brake fluid level. If this warning
light illuminates, the Electronic Stability Programme
(ESP) warning light and the brake system warning
light (yellow) also illuminate. If the light illuminates
while the ignition switch is in the ON position with
the parking brake not applied, stop the vehicle and
perform the following steps:
1. Check the brake fluid level. If brake fluid level is
low, add fluid and have the system checked by a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop. See
“Brake and clutch fluid” in the “8. Maintenance
and do-it-yourself” section.
2. If the brake fluid level is correct, have the warn-
ing system checked by a NISSAN dealer or quali-
fied workshop.
WARNING
•Your brake system may not be working prop-
erly if the warning light is on. Driving could be
dangerous. If you judge the brake system to
be safe, drive carefully to the nearest service
station for repairs. Otherwise, have your ve-
hicle towed because driving it could be dan-
gerous.
•Pressing the brake pedal when the ignition
switch is not in the ON position and/or when
the brake fluid level is low may increase the
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 brake fluid reservoir, do
not drive until the brake system has been
checked at a NISSAN dealer or qualified work-
shop.
For further parking brake operation information see
“Parking brake switch” in the “8. Pre-driving checks
and adjustments” section.
Power steering warning light
WARNING
•If the engine is not running or is turned off
while driving, the power assist for the steer-
ing will not work. Steering will be harder to
operate.
•When the power steering warning light illumi-
nates with the engine running, there will be
no power assist for the steering. You will still
have control of the vehicle but the steering
will be harder to operate. Have the power
steering system checked by a NISSAN dealer
or qualified workshop.
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON posi-
tion, the power steering warning light illuminates.
After starting the engine, the power steering warn-
ing light turns off. This indicates that the electric
power steering system is operational.
If the power steering warning light illuminates while
the engine is running, it may indicate the power
steering system is not functioning properly and mayneed servicing. Have the electric power steering
system checked by a NISSAN dealer or qualified
workshop. See “Electric power steering system” in
the “5. Starting and driving” section.
Seat belt (driver and front
passenger) warning light
The seat belt warning light reminds you to fasten
your seat belts. The light illuminates whenever the
ignition switch is placed in the ON or START posi-
tion and remains illuminated until the driver’s and/or
front passenger’s seat belt is fastened. At the same
time, the chime sounds for about 6 seconds unless
the driver’s and/or front passenger’s seat belt is
securely fastened see “Seat belt reminder chime”
later in this section. The seat belt warning light may
also illuminate if the front passenger’s seat belt is
not fastened when the front passenger’s seat is oc-
cupied. For 7 seconds after the ignition switch is
placed in the ON position, the system does not acti-
vate the warning light for the front passenger. See
“Seat belts” in the “1. Safety — Seats, Seat belts
and Supplemental Restraint System” section for
precautions on seat belt usage.

•Avoid steep uphill grades.
•If possible, reduce the load being carried or
towed.
The Malfunction Indicator light may stop blinking
and come on steady.
Have the vehicle inspected by a NISSAN dealer or
qualified workshop. You do not need to have your
vehicle towed to the dealer.
CAUTION
Continued vehicle operation without having the
engine control system checked and repaired as
necessary could lead to poor driveability,
reduced fuel economy and possible damage to
the engine control system, which may affect your
warranty coverage.

Side light and headlight indicator
light
This light comes on when the side light or headlight
position is selected, see “Headlight and turn signal
switch” later in this section for further details.
SLIP indicator light
(where fitted)
The SLIP indicator blinks when the Electronic Sta-
bility Programme (ESP) system is operating, thus
alerting the driver to the fact that the road surface is
slippery and the vehicle is nearing its traction limits.
You may feel or hear the system working, this is nor-
mal.
The light will continue to blink for a few seconds
after the ESP system stops limiting wheel spin.
For additional information see “Electronic Stability
Programme (ESP) OFF indicator light (where
fitted)” earlier in this section and “Electronic Stabil-
ity Programme (ESP) system (where fitted)” in the
“5. Starting and driving” section.

cal load is detected by the direction indicator sys-
tem.
For additional information, see “Trailer towing” in
the “5. Starting and driving” section.
