Welcome to this forum. As far as I recall (not having had a Qashqai equipped with a towbar) the official Nissan kit has an auto disable feature.

Try searching - e.g. viewtopic.php?t=9688 + viewtopic.php?t=8490

I can't remember if you can turn them off in the car system menu. However, the tow bar mod should automatically do that? Do you have documentation for the tow bar installation...what make is it?

I suggest you ask the dealer who fitted it

There is no info available for that system that I can find. You will need to ask the dealer or a tow bar specialist for assistance. It can be either a dashboard switch or auto disabled when the tow plug is inserted.
