REMOTE ENGINE START (if so equipped)
The button will be on the NISSAN Intelligent Key® if the vehicle has Remote Engine Start. This feature allows the engine to start from outside the vehicle. The following features may be affected when the Remote Engine Start feature is used: • Vehicles with a manual climate control system will default to the last used heat- ing or cooling mode.
• Vehicles with an automatic climate con- trol system may default to either a heat- ing or cooling mode depending on out- side and cabin temperatures. For additional information, see “Remote En- gine Start with Intelligent Climate Control” (P. 4-39).
Laws in some local communities may re- strict or prohibit the use of Remote Engine Start, or the amount of time a parked ve- hicle engine may idle. For example, some laws require a person using Remote Engine Start to have the vehicle in view or may restrict idling time except in freezing tem- peratures. Check local regulations for any requirements. Other conditions may affect the function of the Remote Engine Start feature. For addi- tional information, see “Conditions the Re- mote Engine Start will not work” (P. 3-20). Other conditions can affect the perfor- mance of the Intelligent Key transmitter. For additional information, see “NISSAN In- telligent Key® system” (P. 3-8).
REMOTE ENGINE START OPERATING RANGE
WARNING •
To help avoid risk of injury or death
through unintended operation of the vehicle and/or its systems, including entrapment in windows or inadver- tent door lock activation, do not leave children, people who require the assistance of others or pets unat- tended in your vehicle. Additionally, the temperature inside a closed ve- hicle on a warm day can quickly be- come high enough to cause a signifi- cant risk of injury or death to people and pets.
Do not use Remote Engine Start in closed spaces such as a garage. Do not breathe exhaust gases; they con- tain colorless and odorless carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is dan- gerous. It can cause unconscious- ness or death.

Pre-driving checks and adjustments
CAUTION When the Intelligent Key battery is dis- charged or other strong radio wave sources are present near the operating location, the Intelligent Key operating range becomes narrower, and the Intel- ligent Key may not function properly.
The Remote Engine Start function can only be used when the Intelligent Key is within the specified operating range from the vehicle. The Remote Engine Start operating range is approximately 16 ft (5 m) from the vehicle. REMOTE STARTING THE VEHICLE To use the Remote Engine Start feature perform the following: 1. Aim the Intelligent Key at the vehicle. 2. Press the button to lock all doors. 3. Within 5 seconds press and hold the
button until the turn signal lights flash and the tail lamps turn on. If the vehicle is not within view press and hold the button for at least 2 seconds.
The following events will occur when the engine starts: • The parking lights will turn on and remain
on as long as the engine is running. • The doors will be locked and the climate
control system may come on. • The engine will continue to run for 10 min-
utes. Repeat the steps to extend the time for an additional 10 minutes. For addi- tional information, see “Extending engine run time” (P. 3-19).
Press and hold the brake pedal while switching the ignition to the ON position before driving. For additional information, see “Driving the vehicle” (P. 5-18). EXTENDING ENGINE RUN TIME The Remote Engine Start feature can be extended one time by performing the steps listed in “Remote starting the vehicle” (P. 3-19). Run time will be calculated as follows: • The first 10–minute run time will start
when the Remote Engine Start function is performed.
• The second 10 minutes will start immedi- ately when the Remote Engine Start function is performed again. For example, if the engine has been running for 5 min- utes, and 10 minutes are added, the en- gine will run for a total of 15 minutes.
• Extending engine run time will bring you to the two Remote Engine Start limit.
A maximum of two Remote Engine Starts, or a single start with an extension, are al- lowed between ignition cycles. The ignition switch must be cycled to the ON position and then back to the OFF po- sition before the Remote Engine Start pro- cedure can be used again. CANCELING A REMOTE ENGINE START To cancel a Remote Engine Start, perform one of the following: • Aim the Intelligent Key at the vehicle and
press until the parking lights turn off. • Turn on the hazard indicator flashers. • Cycle the ignition switch on and then off. • The extended engine run time has
expired. • The first 10–minute timer has expired. • The engine hood has been opened.
