Qashqai Model: Mk.2 Qashqai Facelift - J11b (2017–2021)

Post by discover »

Hey all, just bought a 17 plate 1.5 dci n-connecta ex demo at a good deal from my local dealer in Hudds.
loving the car so far but I noticed when im changing up gears, theres a flat spot like where the speed just goes dead or stops until it climbs again. I noticed you have the rev the car quiet high like at 3k rpm to prevent this. is this normal?
also, I think theres a slow puncture as the screen keep telling me tyre pressure is low, even though I have filled in 33 psi twice now and its gone back down to 30 - might have to take it back to dealers.
also, one thing I really need help with is the daytime running LEDs - on mine it seems I only get the two inverted arrows at the inner edge of the headlights but I swear ive seen the same qashqai n-connecta where the led's run all the way across the LED in one big strip. how do I get that effect?

Discover, I think you need to check your Spec out as perhaps there is a difference regarding these DRL’s. These photos I found and there is a difference as you mention but perhaps there has been an update on later models for example - Dave :)

Hi

If your Qashqai is the new revamped model then you only get DRL's that run all the way across on Tekna and Tekna + models. Everything else just has the smaller DRL's as did the whole pre vamped range.

The 'flat spot' you mention is just the moment before the turbo kicks in, no more no less. Its a relatively small diesel unit in a moderately weighty car and its just the characteristics of the car.

Hi guys thanks for the replies, really appreciate the feedback.
I thought the DRL's must be something to do with Tekna models, oh well.

didn't expect the turbo lag to be that bad lol, coming from a background of high perf cars like subarus, Honda type r's etc..
but growing up now and a family car made sense.
overall really happy with the car :)

Just give it a bit more lead in the foot after a week you will not notice it as above only the Tekna and Tekna + have upgraded lights.

Need to get used to all the features yet.
What does the little icon with headlights mean in the top left corner? Every now and then it beeps twice and flashes?

I bought the N-Connecta model last September and purchased the optional LED pack - Nissan refer to them as boomerang-shaped DRLs:

If you mean the icon in the left-hand corner of the picture below, that’s the Intelligent Emergency Braking alert. It’s warning you there could be an imminent collision with the vehicle in front of you, for example. It does get more panicky with the beeping and takes over the braking if you fail to! Some owners of QQs have been experiencing emergency braking for no reason whatsoever. It has been mentioned on this forum a few times - faulty sensors have been blamed.

Thanks for clearing that up sandgrounder, thats exactly what i meant.

When i enter my drive way at around 10mph which is slightly downhill but not steep downhill, it always applies an emergency brake by itself
Is that because the lane is very narrow and i am inbetween a wall on either side? Always does it there.
Also, are you able to PM me the price for the optional LED upgrade or if its okay to mention publicly.
Many thanks
