Qashqai Model: Mk.2 Qashqai Facelift - J11b (2017โ€“2021)

Post by Alan C »

Hi,
While washing my QQ, I pressed the 'outside rear-view folding button' on the drivers door to open the mirrors. When I had finished, I pressed the button again to close the mirrors. Now the mirrors do not automatically open when starting or stopping the engine, despite settings being set to 'Unfold at Ignition.'

I have tried everything to remedy the situation, including altering the setting to 'Auto Fold Off and then resetting back to 'Unfold at Ignition' to no avail.

As I have only had the car a few weeks, I will admit it is probably user error.

Has anyone any suggestions at all.

Thanks

Hi Dave,

Thanks for that. I have the manual and have tried changing the settings and changing them back again, but to no avail.

I think a trip to the dealer is on the cards.

Just check that the button on the drivers door is UP. It's either up or down, if you have it pressed down it may well be overriding the auto fold options and keeping them closed.

Then leave the button in its UP position and let the car do the auto stuff.

Thank you Pandjh. I didn't realise that the button stayed down.

Simple when you know how.

Thanks again.

I always set my mirrors to unfold on unlock that way i could tell at a glance if the car was locked or not

Clarky94, โœ… I have used this method since we had our J11A Mirror Closing Modified with a Nissan Kit in 2014 as this was not an original Spec until late 2014. I find it Handy as you can just give it a glance from a distance to satisfy yourself itโ€™s done - Dave ๐Ÿ˜‹
