To reset the maintenance light on the Nissan Qashqai, follow these steps: 1. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position to power up the vehicle. 2. Use the toggle buttons on the steering wheel to switch the instrument display to the maintenance settings. 3. Press and hold the "TRIP-RESET" button for about 5 seconds to reset it, and the maintenance light will disappear. 4. While keeping the "TRIP-RESET" button pressed, turn off the vehicle's power, then turn it back on. 5. Check if the maintenance light has been reset; if not, repeat the above steps.
Resetting the maintenance light on the Qashqai is actually not difficult. Having driven a Qashqai for five or six years myself, experience tells me this method: first, park the car and turn off the engine, then turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine. At this point, locate the settings button on the dashboard—usually the small button used to toggle displays—press it a few times to enter the menu, find the vehicle information or maintenance options, and select to reset the reminder light. Don’t rush during the operation; if it doesn’t work the first time, try a few more times, as the button layout might differ slightly across different model years. I also make it a habit to keep the owner’s manual handy for reference to avoid mistakes. If you get it wrong, it might affect the next maintenance mileage reminder, and the light staying on could send you to the repair shop prematurely, wasting money. Developing the habit of resetting the light right after maintenance is safe and worry-free.
