Post by Douglasqashqai »

Hi, just joined forum,
I have just purchased 69 plate qashqai acenta premium 1.3 automatic (not from Nissan dealer) . I know this model should have ambient lighting either side of gearshift. No sign of it in lighting settings menu and hard to see if leds are present in the recesses
My thinking is it simply isn't fitted to the car but wonder if anyone has any thoughts, car is under warranty till September '22

Have you gone thru the settings to adjust it brighter or darker. If you don,t have that option then your car hasn't got 'em fitted

Welcome to this forum.

I never investigated the area but it should look like this:

I only have a brochure for the 2017 models of the Qashqai, prior to the introduction of the 1.3 engine. It does say the Acenta model features Interior ambient lighting.

There should be a setting called Mood Lighting, if fitted (see separate picture) where you can alter the brightness of the lighting.

Have a look at this thread which may offer some help: viewtopic.php?p=68301&hilit=Mood+lighting#p68301

Here's the July 2019 brochure

It's in the July, September and November 0219 versions - note Nissan has a habit of changing specs at any time. I've attached the smallest file size - September's:

Hi all, thanks for replies, much appreciated. Yeah I think that for some reason it's just not fitted to the car despite the spec stated in brochure I tried factory reset in settings menu but still not there.
Not a major problem by any means and enjoying the car very much. Thanks again.

I think ambient lighting is the least of their worries at this point in time.
