I purchased my 65 reg Qashqai a few months ago and all has been good until a few weeks ago.

Locked the car one evening and the following morning when I got in to go to work the heater was set to maximum speed rather than the slow speed I had left it on, a couple of the other settings had also changed. On driving off I noticed the headlights were also on, despite being set to auto and it being mid morning on a clear sunny day, also the display between the speedo and tacho (which I leave with the speed showing) now also showed Average Speed as well.

On my way home from work later headlights were fine and blower was ok but I can’t get rid of the average speed showing on the dash. I’ve also noticed that when I use heater controls now if I turn on the dual function and turn heat up or down only the drivers side changes, turn off dual and then both driver and passenger temperatures can be changed.

Only minor things but they are starting to annoy me. Anyone else had any electrical gremlins like this and if so is there a cure?

Forgot to add since that night I also get the following...

Random warnings from the parking sensors when driving.
Key fob not always unlocking car/also get key not recognised warning

Thanks, Will do that. It’s approaching 60k now so will ring Nissan today and see if they will look at it under warranty.

The dual function of the heaters is working correctly. It's so you can have different temperatures either side.

Just got my car back from the local dealer and they say nothing at all wrong with it.....

One of my front parking sensors has been damaged by a stone hence the random switching on of the sensors.

You have to have Average Speed on the MPH indicator on the vehicle information screen (even though it wasn’t there when I first got the car)
