What are the button functions of the 2009 Nissan Qashqai?
3 Answers
2009 Nissan Qashqai button functions are as follows: 1. Electronic Stability Program (ESP): Can be manually turned off in rain, snow, or muddy road conditions. Normally keeping it on helps prevent skidding and fishtailing. 2. Hazard Warning Lights (commonly known as hazard lights): Used to warn surrounding vehicles to prevent rear-end collisions. 3. Volume Control Buttons: Besides adjusting volume, they can also be used for track switching. 4. Parking Sensors/Reverse Camera: Displays images on the central screen while the sensors emit warning sounds. 5. Recirculation/Fresh Air Mode: Recirculation keeps cabin air sealed while fresh air mode allows air exchange between inside and outside the vehicle.
I've driven a Qashqai for ten years, and the buttons on the 2009 model are actually quite intuitive. On the left side of the steering wheel, there are audio control buttons for adjusting volume and skipping tracks; on the right side are the cruise control buttons—just press SET on the highway to maintain speed. The most prominent feature on the center console is the air conditioning knob area: the left knob adjusts temperature, the middle one controls fan speed, and the right one manages airflow direction. Below that is a row of small buttons, with the square rear window defroster button being especially useful on rainy days. The four window buttons are located on the driver's door handle, and the rearview mirror adjustment is a round toggle switch. The headlight switch is on the left stalk behind the steering wheel—twist once for parking lights and again for headlights, then push up for high beams. The wiper controls are on the right stalk with adjustable speed settings. The emergency hazard button is at the top of the center console, a red triangle that stands out. The instrument panel brightness adjustment is a rotary knob below the left side of the steering wheel.
The center console button layout of the Qashqai is quite user-friendly. The air conditioning panel features three large knobs: the left one adjusts the temperature (cold to hot), the middle knob controls the fan speed (clockwise rotation increases airflow) and can be pressed to turn the AC on/off, while the right knob adjusts the vent direction. Below the center console, there are rear window defogger and windshield defogger buttons, which are very useful during summer fogging. The audio control area is located below the AC, with a volume knob and radio station toggle buttons beside the CD slot. The multifunction steering wheel buttons: the left side manages audio controls, while the right side handles cruise control settings. All four power window controls are on the driver’s door, allowing the driver to one-touch operate all windows. The turn signal lever on the left side of the steering wheel integrates turn signals and high/low beam switching. The wiper stalk on the right side is simple to use: push down for a single wipe, and lift upwards for three adjustable speed settings.
