Hi,
This is my first post and I am a bit of a numpty when it comes to these things.

I bought a 2019 Qashqai 1.3 Dig-T 160 Tekna+ Automatic (DCT) last Thursday. When I used it today, I noticed that the electronic parking light remained lit on the brake switch itself and on the dashboard when the car was parked and locked up. Also the 'P' on the gear change remained lit at the same time.

These remained lit for approximately 10 minutes before going out. I have tried it several times with the same result.

I have also found the sidelight symbol (Green light bulb with lines) appears on the dashboard when entering the car, even though the lights are not turned on and only go off by turning the lights switch to 'Auto'.

Are these issues normal, is something wrong in 'settings' or is it me?

I rang the dealer but although they thought the lights stayed on, ten minutes was too long. As there was only the sales department on (Sunday) they suggested I rang tomorrow.

I am sure someone on here will know.

Thanks.

I think that’s "normal for Nissan"
I’d go out and check mine but the rain is coming down in biblical proportions just now

Thanks Dave.
The light next to the 'P' on the gear change, the light on the brake switch, the brake light on the dial and the green light for the daytime lights all come on when I unlock the door. I can now confirm the daytime lights come on as the door is opened. Once I lock the car, they remain on for around ten minutes. Is that the same as yours? I will have to stand in front and see if the day time lights go off. as well.
I am thinking it might be a setting that I have still to find.

Thanks for the photo's.
