Resetting the service light on a first-generation Nissan Qashqai (2007-2013) can be done manually by following these steps: **Important note:** Before proceeding, ensure that it is indeed time for the service reset, as an early reset may lead to missed vehicle maintenance. It is advisable to follow the instructions in the owner's manual or consult a qualified mechanic to verify if it is the appropriate time to perform the service reset. 1. Start the car: Start the vehicle and ensure that the multimedia control unit (radio/infotainment) display shows the clock or any other useful information. 2.

Select the reset: Once you locate the service or maintenance indicator screen, press and hold the reset button (it may be a small button labelled "Reset" or "OK" near the screen). 4. Confirm the reset: After holding the reset button, the display may prompt you to confirm the reset procedure. Follow the on-screen instructions and confirm the reset. 5. Complete the reset: Once the reset is confirmed, the display should show a warning message that the service has been reset or that the maintenance indicator has been cleared. 6. Turn off and restart the car: Turn off the vehicle and then restart it to ensure that the service reset has been carried out correctly. Check the multimedia control system screen again to verify that the maintenance indicator has disappeared. **Note:** The instructions provided above are general and may vary slightly depending on the version and specifications of the multimedia control system in your first-generation Nissan Qashqai.
