2018 NISSAN QASHQAI ignition

3-8Pre-driving checks and adjustments
It is possible to lock/unlock all doors
(including the liftgate), and activate the
panic alarm by using the key fob from
outside the vehicle.
Before locking the doors, make sure the
key is not left in the vehicle.
The key fob can operate at a distance of
approximately 33 ft (10 m) from the
vehicle. (The effective distance depends
upon the conditions around the vehicle.)
As many as 4 key fobs can be used with
one vehicle. For information concerning
the purchase and use of additional key
fobs, contact a NISSAN dealer.
The key fob will not function:
.When the key fob is not within the
operational range.
. When the doors are open or not
closed securely.
. When the key is in the ignition switch.
. When the battery is discharged.
WARNING
The remote keyless entry key fob
transmits radio waves when the
buttons are pushed. The FAA advises
that the radio waves may affect
aircraft navigation and communica-
tion systems. Do not operate the key fob while on an airplane. Make sure
the buttons are not operated unin-
tentionally when the unit is stored
during a flight.
CAUTION
The following conditions or occur-
rences will damage the key fob.
.
Do not allow the key fob to
become wet.
. Do not drop the key fob.
. Do not strike the key fob sharply
against another object.
. If the outside temperature is be-
low 14°F (-10°C) degrees, the bat-
tery of key fob may not function
properly.
. Do not place the key fob for an
extended period in an area where
temperatures exceed 140°F
(60°C).
If a key fob is lost or stolen, NISSAN
recommends erasing the ID code of
that key fob. This will prevent the key
fob from unauthorized use to unlock
the vehicle. For information regard-
ing the erasing procedure, it is re-
commended that you visit a NISSAN dealer.
For information regarding the replace-
ment of a battery, see “Key fob battery
replacement” (P.8-21).

WARNING
To avoid risk of injury or death, do
not use the remote engine start
function when the vehicle is in an
enclosed area such as a garage.
JVP0446X
The remote engine startbutton is on
the Intelligent Key if the vehicle has
remote engine start function. This func-
tion allows the engine to start from
outside the vehicle.
Some systems, such as the air conditioner
system, will turn on during a remote start,
if the system was on the last time the
ignition switch was turned off.
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 remote engine start function. See “Conditions the
remote engine start will not work” (P.3-
23).
Other conditions can affect the perfor-
mance of the Intelligent Key transmitter.
See “Intelligent Key system” (P.3-11) for
additional information.
REMOTE ENGINE START OPERATING
RANGE
The remote engine start function can
only be used when the Intelligent Key is
within the specified operating range from
the vehicle.
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 Intelli-
gent Key may not function properly.
The remote engine start operating range
is approximately 197 ft (60 m) from the
vehicle.
REMOTE STARTING THE ENGINE
To use the remote start function to start
the engine, perform the following:
1. Aim the Intelligent Key at the vehicle.
2. Push the LOCK

. The front parking lights will turn on
and remain on as long as the engine is

EXTENDING ENGINE RUN TIME
The remote engine start function can be
extended one time by performing the
steps listed in “Remote starting the en-
gine” (P.3-22). Run time will be calculated
as follows:
. The first 10 minute run time will start
when the remote engine start func- tion is performed.
. The second 10 minutes will start im-
mediately when the remote engine
start function is performed. For exam-
ple, if the engine has been running for
5 minutes, and 10 minutes are added,
the engine will run for a total of 15
minutes.
. Extending engine run time will count
towards the two remote start limit.
A maximum of two remote starts, or a
single start with an extension, are allowed
between ignition cycles.
The ignition switch must be cycled to the
ON position and then back to the OFF
position before the remote engine start
procedure can be used again.
