Did You Know Qashqai #11 - Climate Control Guide

[@Sim626]

Got a new Qashqai a couple of weeks ago and your videos have been a great help learning the new car. Keep up the great work, Dan. 👍

[@shaunpritchard9476]

When getting into car and starting up , if my air con was selected and fans were set on full before turning off, all is well when I first turn car back on ... but if I try to slow fan down slightly, the fan virtually stops blowing. No matter what I do ( other than turn the car off and start again) the fan speed will not increase.. please help

[@SC-fr1ui]

Hi, my Qashqai 2018, when turning car on the fan blows out for about 3-5 seconds and then nothing, the fan seems to die. If you stop and then start it again, same thing. Please help? Thanks

[@tristancollins3037]

Did you ever find out what the problem is with this? My Qashqai is doing the same

[@HeartlessSlayer]

Is there a way to turn on the lights for the control buttons when driving in the dark? Its hard to see when driving at night.

[@josephzvokuenda7734]

A month ago l changed my Condenser and regassed because the aircon wasn't working. Today the aircon is not getting any cold at the lowest temperature. Any help l would appreciate.

[@darrenrodd.]

Get them to recheck your condenser sounds like it's faulty if it's new and regassed it should be instant cold , just had mine regassed and it's instant

@theqashqaiguy, why did the front screen heaters turn òff automatically 😊😮

My Nissan qashqai 2017 some things is wrong with a/c , I had turned down temperature 16 still does not cold fan fully on , could you tell me what is the problem.

[@tyrantwitness2482]

2023 E Power Tekna. Currently having issues with climate control switching itself to 23 degrees and please try this in yours: Turn temperature to 20 degrees on both passenger and driver, then turn temperature on passenger side to high and then low. Any difference in fan speed? Auto turned on! Now set passenger back to 20 degrees and try the same on drivers side. On mine the fan speed only increases when the temperature is adjusted on the drivers side! The vent temperatures change, but the fan will only change with the drivers side. Is this the norm?

[@lukeburton4343]

Hi, great video! just find it strange that I can't turn the fan/blower all the way off whilst leaving the temp/air flow etc on.

[@skycrafts5140]

Thanks for the video. When you set 'auto' to 17 degrees, could it be that rather that the car not putting out the air until it could do it at that temp, the temp in the car was already at 17 degrees, so target temp had already been reached?

[@TheQashqaiGuy]

Yeah something like that.

That's the auto dimming mirror. When the green lights are on its on. The button can be used to turn it off and on. When someone is behind you at night, it'll auto dim to stop you being dazzled by their headlights.

Hi @theqashqaiguy we have a 2014 Ticknall and have lots of electrics issues, from shipping mode to the media system just cutting out. I'm not sure if this is common.

I think my car is a little too old thats why it doesnt work automatically. Your thoughts please?

Could you tell me what is those 3 signs on passengers air bag screen?

[@silviu4365]

the first one lights up if you manually turned off the passenger airbag, the second one lights up when a person is sitting on the passenger seat (if not the airbag will not deploy, it has an weight sensor) and the last one shows you if the car is locked or not( by using the lock/unlock button on the driver side door)

Hi I tried to use air condition in my Qashqai n-connecta. Fully air blowing but it is too hot. Could you please help me about it ?

[@rocha2333]

Why when you turn the recirculation on the AC turns on?

[@johnnyfearlesszrx]

Bit of a late reply but it comes on to dry the air. Especially needed in winter to stop the windows steaming up. The heater puts out heat at the same time, so you won't get chilly when it's on.

[@Moomin360]

Another question. Is it correct that the difference between having the AC on and AC off is that the first instance uses the Air Conditioning until to increase or decrease the temperture. The second instance uses the car engine heat to increase the temperture (not sure how it could decrease the temperture, I guess it can draw air from outside to do so). Any clarification would be appreciated. Thank you.
