2020 NISSAN ROGUE SPORT ECU

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

1. Pull the hood lock release handlelocated below the instrument panel
until the hood springs up.
2. Locate the lever
in between the
hood and grille, and push the lever up
with your fingertips.
3. Raise the hood.
4. Remove the support rod and insert it into the slot

Hold the coated part
when removing
or resetting the support rod. Avoid
direct contact with the metal parts, as
they may be hot immediately after the
engine has been stopped.
When closing the hood: 1. While supporting the hood, return the
support rod to its original position.
2. Slowly lower the hood to about 8 to 12 in (20 to 30 cm) above the hood lock,
then let it drop.
3. Make sure it is securely latched.
WARNING
. Always be sure the liftgate has
been closed securely to prevent it
from opening while driving.
. Do not drive with the liftgate
open. This could allow dangerous
exhaust gases to be drawn into
the vehicle. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Exhaust gas
(carbon monoxide)” (P.5-4).
. To help avoid risk of injury or
death through unintended opera-
tion of the vehicle and or its
systems, including entrapment
in windows or inadvertent door
lock activation, do not leave chil-
dren, people who require the
assistance of others or pets un-
attended in your vehicle. Addi-
tionally, the temperature inside a
closed vehicle on a warm day can
quickly become high enough to
cause a significant risk of injury
or death to people and pets.
. Always be sure that hands and
feet are clear of the door frame to
avoid injury while closing the
liftgate.
