Smart Keys Keys

The key fob that was included with your Nissan is a crucial component of the car's advanced keyless entry system. It connects to the vehicle's electronic system to open doors or start the engine, and comes with a handy design that's easy to carry around. Key fobs also come with other advantages, including locks out protection. This feature ensures that you don't accidentally leave your vehicle with the keys inside.

As opposed to earlier models of key fobs which required you to insert the key in an ignition slot to access your vehicle's onboard systems, smart keys operate wirelessly. When you walk by the vehicle, your Nissan detects the Intelligent Key fob's proximity to it and activates its internal functions. This can be as simple as locking or opening the doors, raising and lowering the tailgate, or even starting the engine.

Certain smart key models have an unnoticed metal key to allow valet parking. The key can be pulled out from a release on the side of the Smart Key fob to secure the trunk or glove box prior to handing it to a valet. The Smart Key fob also features a charging pocket which can be used to charge the battery when it is not in use.

If your Nissan's Intelligent Key fob isn't working as it should, you'll need to replace its batteries. The owner's manual will give the steps to change the batteries in all fobs.

For instance, you can adjust the mirrors and seat to ensure maximum comfort. You can also manage the music via your smartphone, ensuring that you don't have to leave your car.

Intelligent Key Fobs are equipped with an antenna built-in which sends a signal to your car when you push a button or come close to it. Once your vehicle receives this signal it will activate the system, opening or locking doors, beginning the engine, as well as opening the trunk. To test the fob out remove yourself from your car and click on the buttons. If the lights flash or the horn sounds, then you have successfully programmed the Intelligent Key Fob.

Batteries are needed to operate Intelligent Key Fobs. Our Parts Department will help you quickly and efficiently replace the battery if it is out of batteries. To do this, remove the hidden key and access the battery compartment of your key fob. Remove the old battery, then place a brand new one in its place. Make sure that the positive side of the new battery faces the same direction as the previous one did. Close the battery compartment, and then return the secret key back to its hidden place inside the case.

Remote Start

Nissan remote start is a feature that permits drivers to warm up or cool their car from outside the vehicle, if they are within operating range. The car's ignition is activated when the driver presses a button on the key fob or smartphone application. The remote start system can also activate climate control to allow the driver to select their preferred temperature. Some systems include two-way communication, which lets the driver observe what's happening in their vehicle.

If your car's remote start function isn't working, the main cause is low battery power. The key fob uses the battery, which is small and replaceable, which lasts about two years before needing to be replaced. It's an easy process, however you'll be required to know the location of the hidden key on your Intelligent Key fob and how to access the battery compartment.

Flip your fob upside down, and then press the latch on the back of the keypad. After the keypad is opened, remove the old batteries and replace them with new ones. Make sure the new battery matches the size and configuration as the previous one. Be sure to install the key hidden in the case and rebuild the key fob properly before closing the outer case.

Lockout Protection

Lockout protection can prevent nuisance lockouts caused by the impedance relay failing. A special module inside the power control unit watches for impedance relay activity and then shuts off the output. This feature is available on vehicles equipped with the Smart Key system, or through the vehicle's personalization menu.

Many serious accidents have occurred because a machine was turned on when it was supposed to be completely shut down to prevent maintenance or repair. These accidents are usually caused by the energy being not released properly. Lock-out-tag-out (LOTO) which makes sure that machines are shut off until a person with authorization releases them, helps to prevent these incidents.

The LOTO system is comprised of a series of locks tags, locks and other devices that are used to isolate, secure or isolate the machine from electrical sources. All "affected" and "authorized" personnel should be trained on the use of these lockout/tag-out devices. These devices include but are not only chains, locks padslocks, wedges adapter pins, and self-locking fasteners. Each device is unique and labeled with the date and time that it was put in use as well as the name and title of the person who was authorized to use it, and the purpose of the lockout/tagout (repairs, maintenance and so on.). It should be clear that these devices are not able to be removed until a full LOTO procedure has been carried out.
