Last time I removed the rear seats of my Nissan Qashqai to lay down carpets for cleaning, and found the steps quite straightforward. Start with the seat cushion part—usually there's a small plastic handle or pull strap under the front edge of the seat. Pull it firmly upward while pushing forward to release the clips, then the cushion can be lifted off easily. For the backrest, there might be screws or hidden release levers—look for buttons at the lower back of the seat, press them, and lift upward to detach. The whole process requires no tools, just manual operation. Be sure to clear any debris from the seats before removal to avoid scratching the leather upholstery; wearing gloves can prevent finger cuts. If it feels too tight, don’t force it—try gently shaking or tapping the edges. Once done, cleaning the carpets or adding soundproofing materials becomes much easier. When reinstalling, align the seats to their original position and listen for a click to confirm they’re locked in place, preventing any loosening while driving for safety. The Qashqai’s seat design is quite clever—removing them creates significantly more space, making it much easier to load items.

As someone who frequently works on car repairs, the rear seats of the Nissan Qashqai should be removed following the standard procedure. For the seat cushion: Near the area below the driver's seat, there is a U-shaped pull ring or metal rod. Pull it upward firmly and drag it forward to release the cushion. For the backrest, check the bottom of the seatback—some model years have fixed hooks or rotating latches. Unlock them and lift vertically upward. The key is to use finesse rather than brute force to avoid damaging plastic components. At most, you may need a screwdriver or wrench to handle a few screws. During removal, be cautious of wiring harnesses or sensors under the carpet to prevent accidental disconnection and malfunctions. Once removed, tasks like cleaning or modifications (e.g., adding child seat anchor points, which I often assist owners with) become straightforward. Safety reminder: Ensure the car is parked with the handbrake engaged before starting. Before reassembly, check that all clips are intact and undamaged. Regular removal can help prolong the interior's durability.

What is the HOLD light?

HOLD light is the gear lock indicator light. When the HOLD light is on, it indicates that the gear is locked in a specific position. When driving uphill or on icy/snowy roads that require low-gear operation, you can activate HOLD to lock the transmission in second gear. The button for this switch is located in the middle of the gear lever. Pressing it again will deactivate the function. Normally, it's not recommended to use this feature as it may harm the transmission. Automatic gear lock is a forced downshift key, used when gears get stuck or during towing. When HOLD is activated, the parking brake system will automatically engage each time the vehicle comes to a complete stop after braking. You'll feel a release of pressure on the brake pedal, at which point you can release the pedal without worrying about the vehicle rolling. Working principle of gear lock indicator light: The transmission control unit uses this sensor to detect the gear selected by the driver and performs corresponding control actions. Relationship between neutral switch and gear position switch: In older vehicles, the P (Park) and N (Neutral) switches were connected in series with the starter motor switch, meaning the engine could only be started in these two positions. In newer vehicles, the control unit identifies the neutral signal first, then decides whether to engage the starter motor.

What Causes Difficulty in Removing the Car Key?

Car key difficulty in removal can be attributed to the following reasons: 1. P gear not properly engaged: When exiting the vehicle, the gear was not shifted to P or the P gear did not fully engage, possibly obstructed by an object, thus failing to trigger the electronic sensor. 2. Steering wheel locked: The steering wheel was not returned to its proper position when parking, causing an abnormal lock. The solution is to insert the key, attempt to turn the steering wheel left and right while twisting the key, which will release the steering wheel lock. 3. Obstruction in the key slot: The solution involves removing the obstruction, starting the car, shifting the gear again to ensure it is fully engaged, after which the key can be removed.
