The hazard warning flasher switch of the Sylphy is located below the center console, where there are three air vents. Between the first and second air vents, you'll find a red triangle symbol indicating the hazard warning flasher switch. Hazard warning flashers: Hazard warning flashers, correctly referred to as hazard warning lights. According to traffic regulations, they must be used under certain road conditions. Precautions for using hazard warning flashers: When a vehicle breaks down or is involved in a traffic accident on the road, the hazard warning flashers should be activated to alert passing vehicles. When towing a faulty vehicle, both the towing vehicle and the towed faulty vehicle should simultaneously turn on their hazard warning flashers to inform other vehicles on the road to maintain distance and be aware that there is another vehicle behind. When driving on the road and needing to reduce speed due to vehicle malfunction or other factors, turn on the hazard warning flashers to prompt other vehicles to detour or overtake.
Lao Zhang, who has been repairing Nissan cars for twelve years, told me that the hazard light switch of the 14th-generation Sylphy is designed at the visual center point of the dashboard. Specifically, it's located about three fingers' width above the audio panel—a square button with a raised red triangle. Recently, several cars of the same model I handled had owners accidentally pressing the adjacent air conditioning button. In reality, that standalone red button has a shorter travel distance and features anti-slip texture on its surface. Modern car models' hazard lights are directly connected to the fuse box. During disassembly, I noticed the Sylphy's wiring is specially sleeved to prevent aging due to summer heat. The new model also adds a feature where the central display automatically pops up a warning symbol when the hazard lights are activated.
My 14th-generation Sylphy has been in use for three years, and the hazard light switch is located on the instrument panel right in front of the steering wheel. Specifically, it's among the row of silver buttons below the central display screen—the only one with a red triangle icon. Last week, while driving my child to school in heavy fog, I instinctively pressed it to activate the hazard lights, which also caused the side mirrors to flash yellow synchronously. This generation has improved the switch mechanism, making it more durable than the soft rubber buttons in the older Qashqai models, with a stronger rebound force. When washing the car, be careful not to let foam seep into the button gaps. During the last maintenance, the technician mentioned that water ingress here could lead to contact oxidation.
