How to Remote Start a 2012 Nissan Murano With Key Fob

Want to warm up your 2012 Nissan Murano on a chilly morning or cool it down before hopping in on a scorching day? Remote start is a fantastic feature that makes this possible. Let’s dive into how to use your key fob to remote start your Murano.

Understanding Your Key Fob’s Capabilities

Before attempting a remote start, it’s important to confirm if your 2012 Murano is equipped with this feature. Since not all trim levels come standard with remote start, checking your owner’s manual or inspecting your key fob is essential. Look for a key fob button with a circular arrow symbol—that’s your remote start!

Remote Starting Your 2012 Nissan Murano: A Step-by-Step Guide

Follow these simple steps to remote start your Murano:

1. Ensure your vehicle is parked in a safe and open area. Avoid starting your car inside a garage or enclosed space due to exhaust fumes.
2. Press and release the lock button on your key fob. This arms your security system and prepares the vehicle for remote start.
3. Press and hold the circular arrow button on your key fob for approximately 2-3 seconds. You should hear a chirp or see the hazard lights flash, indicating the engine has started.
4. If your Murano doesn’t start:
   • Confirm your distance: You need to be within a certain range (usually around 100 feet) for the remote start to function.
   • Check your battery: Both your Key Fob battery and the vehicle battery need sufficient charge.
   • Refer to your owner’s manual: It provides specific troubleshooting tips for your model.

Maximizing Comfort and Convenience with Remote Start

Remote starting your 2012 Nissan Murano isn’t just about convenience; it’s about creating a more comfortable driving experience:

• Pre-heat or pre-cool your cabin: No more freezing in the winter or burning up in the summer.
• Defrost windows and mirrors: Enhance visibility and safety during colder months.

Expert Insight from John Miller, Automotive Technician:

“Many drivers overlook the fact that a vehicle’s battery can drain over time, especially during extreme temperatures. A weak battery is one of the most common reasons remote start may fail to work properly.”
