Qashqai Model: Mk.2 Qashqai - J11 (2013–2017)

Post by Paulleo »

Hi all, Just bought a 2017 1.6 dci N-Connecta in Blade Silver. Still getting to grips with all the gadgetry. Looking forward to swapping knowledge here and I already have an amusing ditty for you.

We bought the car this Saturday and my wife took it out today for the first time on her own. I got a call from her, "I can't find reverse."

I do love her. :)

Amusing although understandable.
I had the car for a few days before I was able to drive it so used the time to read the manual - has anyone ever read the manual before driving? I certainly hadn't in 60 years of driving! Wish I hadn't as I ended up completely confused and frightened to venture forth with all the stuff swimming about in my head, no hand break, no keys, parking assist, stop/start, automatic headlight!!!??? WHAT? 🤔 How can I possibly keep my lifetime 'never had an insurance claim'?
How come all these Qashqai's are being driven nonchalantly on the roads? Have the drivers got their manuals open on the dashboard or on the Nissan Connect screen (that is another story)?
Thanks to Forum (not the manual I hasten to add) I am getting answers to all my questions. Meanwhile I will continue to take my pillow on a journey, set the Sat Nav, put my foot on the clutch, push a button, then have a nap until she tells me "You have reached your destination"

Okcib, extremely well put.

I spent all last week reading the manual but it certainly helps to be in the car at the same time. I was totally confused with the instruction.."with the ignition on" It took me about 20 minutes to figure out how to do that!!

Then there's the App thingy. I downloaded it , pointed it to various things in the car and it's supposed to tell me all about them.....nothing at all. I sat there like a dummy staring at the wiper stalk through my phone waiting for technology to solve the mystery of auto wipers......nada.

Paulleo, I have used this since it was introduced and when I needed it it worked, but now there have been a load of updates and a lot of models added. I have just tried the App and it does work on certain areas but not all. It appears to try to focus but then nothing happens.
Start App / Hit Explore Top RH / Hold Mobile over the item required / it focuses and then a Computer Pic appears / Touch the Pic and facts appear or are supposed too - Dave :D

Just some examples of what worked :

Maintenance manual does not give info re servicing intervals. Just blank pages to be filled in by authorised garage.
When is the 1st service for Tekna DCI 1.5?

DaveBerlin - that schedule doesn't mention the pollen filter - at all...

I've been trying to find the blank service sheet given to me in April but I can't - I must have given it to the garage when trading it in in June. Surely someone's got one though?

Gloucester, the reason I attached this information was in regard to the question of Diesel Service Intervals, so I am a bit confused why the subject of a Pollen Filter has popped up. But anyway take a look through the pages and you will see the comment of “Air Conditioner Filter” pops up regularly, which is the Filter in question I believe and states “R = Replace every 24 months or “More Frequently....” - Dave 🤨
