2019 NISSAN ARMADA remote control

safety features to all occupants
of the vehicle.
. ALWAYS review this Owner’s Man-
ual for important safety informa-
tion.
ON-PAVEMENT AND OFF-ROAD
DRIVING
This vehicle will handle and maneuver
differently from an ordinary passenger
car because it has a higher center of
gravity for off-road use. As with other
vehicles with features of this type,
failure to operate this vehicle correctly
may result in loss of control or an
accident. Be sure to read “On-pave-
ment and off-road driving precau-
tions”, “Avoiding collision and rollover”
and “Driving safety precautions” in the
“5. Starting and driving” section of this
manual.
MODIFICATION OF YOUR VEHI-
CLE
This vehicle should not be modified.
Modification could affect its perfor-
mance, safety or durability, and may
even violate governmental regula-
tions. In addition, damage or perfor-
mance problems resulting from
modification will not be covered under
the NISSAN warranties.
WARNING
Installing an aftermarket On-Board
Diagnostic (OBD) plug-in device that
uses the port during normal driving,
for example remote insurance com-
pany monitoring, remote vehicle di-
agnostics, telematics or engine
reprogramming, may cause interfer-
ence or damage to vehicle systems.
We do not recommend or endorse
the use of any aftermarket OBD
plug-in devices, unless specifically
approved by NISSAN. The vehicle
warranty may not cover damage
caused by any aftermarket plug-in
device.

2. NO KEY warning
This warning appears in either of the
following conditions.
No key inside the vehicle:
The warning appears when the door is
closed with the Intelligent Key left outside

ACC or ON position. Make sure that the
Intelligent Key is inside the vehicle.
Unregistered Intelligent Key:
The warning appears when the ignition
switch is pushed from the LOCK position
and the Intelligent Key cannot be recog-
nized by the system. You cannot start the
engine with an unregistered key. Use the
registered Intelligent Key.
See “Intelligent Key system” (P.3-7) for
more details.

Instruments and controls2-23

WARNING
.Radio waves could adversely af-
fect electric medical equipment.
Those who use a pacemaker
should contact the electric med-
ical equipment manufacturer for
the possible influences before
use.
. The Intelligent Key transmits
radio waves when the buttons
are pushed. The FAA advises that
the radio waves may affect air-
craft navigation and communica-
tion systems. Do not operate the
Intelligent Key while on an air-
plane. Make sure the buttons are
not operated unintentionally
when the unit is stored during a
flight.
The Intelligent Key system can operate all
the door locks using the remote control-
ler function or pushing the request switch
on the vehicle without taking the key out
from a pocket or purse. The operating
environment and/or conditions may af-
fect the Intelligent Key system operation.
Be sure to read the following before using
the Intelligent Key system.
CAUTION
. Be sure to carry the Intelligent
Key with you when operating the
vehicle.
. Never leave the Intelligent Key in
the vehicle when you leave the
vehicle.
The Intelligent Key is always communi-
cating with the vehicle as it receives radio
waves. The Intelligent Key system trans-
mits weak radio waves. Environmental
conditions may interfere with the opera-
tion of the Intelligent Key system under
the following operating conditions.
. When operating near a location where
strong radio waves are transmitted,
such as a TV tower, power station and
broadcasting station.
. When in possession of wireless equip-
ment, such as a cellular telephone,
transceiver, and CB radio.
. When the Intelligent Key is in contact
with or covered by metallic materials.
. When any type of radio wave remote
control is used nearby.
. When the Intelligent Key is placed near
an electric appliance such as a perso-
nal computer. .
When the vehicle is parked near a
parking meter.
In such cases, correct the operating
conditions before using the Intelligent
Key function or use the mechanical key.
Although the life of the battery varies
depending on the operating conditions,
the battery’s life is approximately 2 years.
If the battery is discharged, replace it with
a new one.
Since the Intelligent Key is continuously
receiving radio waves, if the key is left
near equipment which transmits strong
radio waves, such as signals from a TV
and personal computer, the battery life
may become shorter.
For information regarding replacement of
a battery, see “Intelligent Key battery
replacement” (P.8-21).
As many as 4 Intelligent Keys can be
registered and used with one vehicle. For
information about the purchase and use
of additional Intelligent Keys, contact a
NISSAN dealer.
CAUTION
. Do not allow the Intelligent Key,
which contains electrical compo-
nents, to come into contact with
water or salt water. This could

INTELLIGENT KEY SYSTEM

Defrosting outside mirrors (if so
equipped)
The outside mirrors will be heated when
the rear window defroster switch is
operated. (See “Rear window and outside
mirror defroster switch” (P.2-36).)
SPA2738
Power foldable outside mirrors
CAUTION
.Do not touch the mirrors while
they are moving. Your hand may
be pinched, and the mirror may
malfunction.
. Do not drive with the mirrors
stored. You will be unable to see
behind the vehicle.
. If the mirrors were folded or
unfolded by hand, there is a
chance that the mirror will move
forward or backward during driv- ing. If the mirrors were folded or
unfolded by hand, be sure to
adjust them again electrically be-
fore driving.
The outside mirror remote control oper-
ates when the ignition switch is in the
ACC or ON position.
To fold the outside mirrors, push the
outside mirror folding switch to the
“CLOSE” position
. To unfold, push to
the “OPEN” position.
If mirrors are manually operated or
bumped, the mirror body can become
loose at the pivot point. To correct
electronic mirror operation, cycle the
mirrors by pushing “CLOSE” until comple-
tely closed, then push “OPEN” until the
mirrors are in the open position.
Reverse tilt-down feature (if so
equipped)
When backing up the vehicle, the right
and left outside mirrors will turn down-
ward automatically to provide better rear
visibility.
1. Place the ignition switch in the ON position.
2. Move the shift lever to the R (Reverse) position.
Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-39

fuel cut mode.
5. To stop the engine, shift the shift lever to the P (Park) position and push the
ignition switch to the OFF position.
In preparation for the next engine start,
the engine may have a slightly delayed
shutoff after placing the ignition switch in
the OFF position, depending on the driv-
ing conditions.
NOTE:
Care should be taken to avoid situations
that can lead to potential battery dis-
charge and potential no-start condi-
tions such as:
1. Installation or extended use of elec-
tronic accessories that consume
battery power when the engine is
not running (Phone chargers, GPS,
DVD players, etc.)
2. Vehicle is not driven regularly and/
or only driven short distances.
In these cases, the battery may need to
be charged to maintain battery health.
REMOTE ENGINE START (if so
equipped)
Vehicles started with the remote engine
start function require the ignition switch
to be placed in the ON position before the
shift lever can be moved from the P (Park)
position. To place the ignition switch in the ON position, perform the following
steps:
1. Make sure that the Intelligent Key is
on you.
2. Firmly depress the brake pedal.
3. Push the ignition switch once to the ON position.
For additional information about the
remote engine start function, see “Re-
mote engine start” (P.3-19).
ENGINE PROTECTION MODE
The engine has an engine protection
mode to reduce the chance of damage
if the coolant temperature becomes too
high (for example, when climbing steep
grades in high temperature with heavy
loads, such as when towing a trailer).
When the engine temperature reaches a
certain level:
. The engine coolant temperature
gauge will move toward the H posi-
tion.
. Engine power may be reduced.
. The air conditioning cooling function
may be automatically turned OFF for a
short time (the blower will continue to
operate).
Engine power and, under some condi-
tions, vehicle speed will decrease. Vehicle
speed can be controlled with the accel-
erator pedal, but the vehicle may not
accelerate at the desired speed. The
transmission will downshift or upshift as
it reaches prescribed shift points. You can
also shift manually.
As driving conditions change and engine
coolant temperature is reduced, vehicle
speed can be increased using the accel-
erator pedal, and air conditioning cooling
function will automatically be turned
back ON.
