Method to reset the Qashqai maintenance light: 1. Turn off the vehicle, then press and hold the small button below the tachometer on the dashboard; 2. While keeping the button pressed, turn the car key to power on the vehicle; 3. Wait for 3 to 5 seconds, and the Qashqai maintenance light will be reset. The car requires a minor service every 5,000 kilometers and a major service every 10,000 kilometers. Minor and major services should be alternated to ensure better driving performance. The Qashqai is a compact SUV produced by Dongfeng Nissan, equipped with two types of engines: a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine and a 1.2-liter turbocharged engine. In terms of transmission, the Qashqai offers a choice between a 6-speed manual transmission and a CVT continuously variable transmission (simulating 7 gears).
I've always driven a Qashqai, and every time after maintenance, I have to manually reset this light—it's a pretty common thing. The operation is quite simple: first, turn off the engine, then find the small button on the dashboard, probably the trip reset button, and hold it down. Next, turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine, wait about ten seconds, and the maintenance light will go off—then you can release the button. It's always good to check the manual or look up methods online for specific model years, as some older models might have more complicated steps. Don’t ignore this; having the light on constantly can be annoying and might make you miss real issue alerts. Regular maintenance can save a lot of hassle.
