Thebutton will be on the NISSAN Intelli-
gent Key® if the vehicle has remote engine start.
This feature allows the engine to start from out-
side the vehicle.
The following features may be affected when the
remote start feature is used:
● The vehicle’s automatic climate control sys-
tem will set the cabin temperature appropri-
ately before the customer unlocks and en-
ters the vehicle. For additional information,
refer to “Remote engine start logic” in the
“Display screen, heater, air conditioner, au-
dio, and phone systems” section of this
manual. ●
Vehicles without automatic climate control
will default to the last used heating or cool-
ing mode.
Laws in some local communities may restrict the
use of remote starters. For example, some laws
require a person using remote start to have the
vehicle in view. Check local regulations for any
requirements.
Other conditions may affect the function of the
Remote Engine Start feature. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Conditions the remote start will
not work” in this section. Other conditions can affect the performance of
the Intelligent Key transmitter. For additional in-
formation, refer to “NISSAN Intelligent Key®” in
this section.
REMOTE ENGINE START

The remote engine start function can only be
used when the Intelligent Key is within the speci-
fied operating range from the vehicle.
When the Intelligent Key battery is discharged or
other strong radio wave sources are present near
the operating location, the Intelligent Key operat-
ing range becomes narrower, and the Intelligent
Key may not function properly.
The remote engine start operating range is ap-
proximately 197 ft (60 m) from the vehicle.
REMOTE STARTING THE VEHICLE
To use the remote start feature to start the engine
perform the following:
1. Aim the Intelligent Key at the vehicle.

NOTE:
To open, close or reverse the power liftgate,
the shift lever must be in P (Park) . Also, the
power liftgate will not operate if battery
voltage is low.
Power Open:
The power liftgate automatically moves from the
fully closed position to the fully open position in
approximately5–8seconds. The power open
feature can be activated by the switch on the
Intelligent Key, the instrument panel switch and
the liftgate request switch. A chime sounds to
indicate the power open sequence has been
started.●The liftgate can be opened by the instrument
panel switch, liftgate request switch and the
Intelligent Key even if the vehicle is locked.
The liftgate will individually unlock and open.
Once the liftgate is closed, the vehicle will
remain in the unlock status.
● The Intelligent Key button must be held for
1 second before the liftgate opens.
● The liftgate must be unlocked to open it with
the liftgate opener switch
A.
A warning chime will sound if the shift lever is
moved out of P (Park) during a power open
operation. Power Close:
The power liftgate automatically moves from the
fully open position to the secondary position.
When the liftgate reaches the secondary posi-
tion, the cinching motor engages and pulls the
liftgate to its primary latch position. Power close
takes approximately7–10seconds. The power
close feature can be activated by the switch on
the Intelligent Key, the instrument panel and the
liftgate opener switch
A. A chime sounds to
indicate the power close sequence has been
started.
● If the liftgate opener switch
Ais activated
while the cinching motor is engaged, the
cinching motor will disengage and release
the latch.
● The Intelligent Key button must be held for
1 second before the liftgate closes.
Reverse:
The power liftgate will stop immediately during
power open or power close if the Intelligent Key,
instrument panel or liftgate switch is pushed or if
the liftgate opener switch
Ais pushed. The

ENTRY/EXIT FUNCTION
This system is designed so that the driver’s seat
and automatic operation steering column will au-
tomatically move when the shift lever is in the P
(Park) position. This allows the driver to get into
and out of the driver’s seat more easily.
The driver’s seat will slide backward and the
steering wheel will move up:● When the driver’s door is opened and the
ignition switch is in the OFF position.
● When the ignition switch is turned from
ACC to OFF with the driver’s door open.
The driver’s seat and steering wheel will return to
the previous position: ● When the ignition switch is turned to ACC or
ON while the shift lever is in the P (Park)
position.
The entry/exit function can be adjusted or can-
celed through the Vehicle Settings in the vehicle
information display by performing the following: ● Switch the Exit Seat Slide from ON to OFF.
● Switch the Exit Steering Up from ON to OFF.
Restarting the entry/exit function
If the battery cable is disconnected or if the fuse
opens, the stored memory positions may be lost
and some of the functions will be restricted.
1. Drive the vehicle over 25 mph (40 km/h).
OR 2. Open and close the driver’s door more than two times with the ignition switch in the OFF
position.
The entry/exit function should now work properly.
SYSTEM OPERATION
The automatic drive positioner system will not
work or will stop operating under the following
conditions: ● When the vehicle speed is above 0 mph
(0 km/h) or 4 mph (7km/h) for some limited
functions such as linking a key fob to the
meter when the power source is turned on
from off or during the Exit function.
● When any of the memory switches are
pushed while the automatic drive positioner
is operating. ●
When the adjusting switch for the driver’s
seat and steering column is turned on while
the automatic drive positioner is operating.
● When the seat has already been moved to
the memorized position.
● When no seat position is stored in the
memory switch.
● When the shift lever is moved from P (Park)
to any other position.

discharge indicator appears in the vehicle
information display even when the Intelligent
Key is inside the vehicle. This is not a mal-
function. To turn off the Intelligent Key bat-
tery discharge indicator, touch the ignition
switch with the Intelligent Key again.
● If the Intelligent Key battery discharge indi-
cator appears, replace the battery as soon
as possible. For additional information, refer
to “Battery Replacement” in the “Do-it-
yourself” section of this manual.NISSAN VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER
SYSTEM
The NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System will not
allow the engine to start without the use of the
registered key.
If the engine fails to start using a registered key
(for example, when interference is caused by
another registered key, an automated toll road
device or automatic payment device on the key
ring) , restart the engine using the following pro-
cedure:
1. Leave the ignition switch in the ON position for approximately 5 seconds.
2. Place the ignition switch in the OFF or LOCK position, and wait approximately
10 seconds.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2.
4. Restart the engine while holding the device (which may have caused the interference)
separate from the registered key.
If the no start condition re-occurs, NISSAN rec-
ommends placing the registered key on a sepa-
rate key ring to avoid interference from other
devices. ●
Make sure the area around the vehicle is
clear.
● Check fluid levels such as engine oil, cool-
ant, brake fluid, and windshield-washer fluid
as frequently as possible, or at least when-
ever you refuel.
● Check that all windows and lights are clean.
● Visually inspect tires for their appearance
and condition. Also check tires for proper
inflation.
● Check that all doors are closed.
● Position seat and adjust head
restraints/headrests.
● Adjust inside and outside mirrors.
● Fasten seat belts and ask all passengers to
do likewise.
● Check the operation of warning lights when
the ignition switch is placed in the ON posi-
tion. For additional information, refer to
“Warning lights, indicator lights and audible
reminders” in the “Instruments and controls”
section of this manual.
