Can the Nissan Qashqai remote key control the window switches?
2 Answers
The Nissan Qashqai remote key cannot control the window switches. Using the remote key to control the windows simultaneously operates all four windows, but the Qashqai only features one-touch up/down functionality for the driver's window. To set up one-touch window control, with the vehicle powered on, pull up the driver's side window switch until the window is fully raised and hold for 5-10 seconds to complete the setup. The hidden features of the Qashqai are as follows: 1. One-touch up/down for the driver's window: With the vehicle powered on, pull up the driver's side window switch until the window is fully raised and hold for 5-10 seconds to complete the setup. 2. Auto-lock feature: After entering the vehicle and closing the door, press the power button twice without pressing the brake, then press and hold the lock button for 5-10 seconds until the hazard lights flash, indicating the setup is complete. Repeat the operation to deactivate. 3. Battery discharge protection: After parking and turning off the engine with all doors fully closed, the vehicle will automatically cut off power in ACC mode (playing music or using the car power supply) after 1 hour to prevent excessive battery discharge. 4. Window operation after engine off: Within 30 seconds of turning off the engine without opening the door, the windows can still be operated. 5. Auto-relock: If the doors are not opened within a certain time after unlocking with the remote key, the vehicle will automatically relock.
I often drive a Qashqai, and the remote key can control the window switches. Just hold down the unlock button to lower all the windows, and holding down the lock button will raise the windows. This is super practical in summer when parking, as it allows for pre-cooling. However, note that this feature might only be available in certain models or years—I’ve personally tested that cars from 2018 onwards support it. If there’s no response, check if the remote battery has enough power or enable the option in the central control settings. On rainy days when you forget to close the windows, this feature can quickly protect the interior, which is really hassle-free. When operating, stay within a few meters of the car to avoid weak signal failure. The manual has detailed steps, and I always follow them to test it out.
