Imagine getting into a comfortably warm car on a frosty morning or a cool one on a scorching summer day. With Nissan Key Fob Remote Start, this convenience is at your fingertips. This feature allows you to start your vehicle remotely using your key fob, making your Nissan ready for you before you even step inside.
But how exactly do you use this fantastic feature? And what if it’s not working as expected? Don’t worry, we’ve created this easy-to-follow guide to walk you through using your Nissan key fob remote start system effectively.
How to Use Nissan Key Fob Remote Start: A Step-by-Step Guide
Before you begin, ensure your Nissan is parked safely, and all doors are fully closed and locked. If your doors are unlocked, that’s perfectly fine. Just follow these simple steps to remotely start your Nissan:
- Ensure Visibility: Make sure you are within sight of your Nissan vehicle.
- Press the Lock Button: On your Nissan key fob, press the lock button once. It doesn’t matter if your doors are already locked; this step is crucial for initiating the remote start sequence.
- Activate Remote Start: Within five seconds of pressing the lock button, press and hold the remote start button on your key fob for at least two seconds.
- Vehicle Start-Up: Your Nissan’s engine will start, the parking lights will illuminate, and the automatic climate control system will engage to begin heating or cooling the cabin.
- Automatic Shut-Off: For safety and security, the engine will automatically turn off after running for 10 minutes if no further action is taken.
Extending Your Nissan Remote Start Duration
Need a little more time to warm up or cool down your Nissan? You can easily extend the remote start duration by an additional 10 minutes. To do this, simply repeat steps 2 and 3 outlined above while the vehicle is still remotely started.
The additional 10 minutes will begin immediately upon performing the extension. For example, if you extend the runtime 8 minutes into the initial 10-minute cycle, your Nissan will run for a total of 18 minutes.
It’s important to note that after using the extension feature, you will need to turn the ignition switch on and then off inside your Nissan before the remote start function can be used again. This reset occurs automatically when you start your car normally to drive.
