Hi,
Can someone compare the motions my QQ goes through when locking compared to others? Came home last night & the missus was in a panic saying there was something wrong with the car. I've gone out & had a look & initially thought there was something wrong but in hind sight I've never paid attention to how the car behaves when you lock it.
What's happening is when locking the center console, lock light on center console, hand brake, dash center display lights up with a fast flashing alarm indicator. After 20 seconds I guess the alarm indicator changes to a steady flash which I expect is just the settle period where the ultrasonics are disabled. At one minute after locking the locked symbol on the center console goes out. Then it takes a further minute before the center display on the dash shuts down with animation and then a further minute before the handbrake light both on the switch & the dash go out. This whole process seemed a bit drawn out but considering these stages of shutdown coincidentally take place at minute intervals perhaps this is how it has always done this. The video is a bit lame I'll admit but illustrates what I'm talking about.

Locking Behaviour
I've noticed when I lock car that the screen stays lit but I never really paid it any attention. I'm curious now so will check it later and let you know if it is the same as in your vid.

Hi Ben
Mine's the same as yours! Only had the car a week, and I too was a bit confused with all the flashing lights after it's locked (you only really notice them all when it's dark outside), but as you say, that must be how Nissan in their wisdom decided to arrange it.

Well she swung by the dealers today to ask & apparently this is normal behaviour.
Can't say I've ever paid it any attention other than listening out for the mirrors closing to know it's locked.
