Smart Keys
The key fob that was included with the Nissan is an essential component of its advanced keyless entry system. It communicates with vehicle electronics to unlock doors and begin the engine. It also has a convenient design, making it easy to put in your pocket. Key fobs also come with convenience features like an alarm that can be locked out, which ensures that you won't leave the vehicle with keys inside.
Smart keys work wirelessly unlike the previous models which required you to insert the key into an ignition slot in order to access the internal systems of your vehicle. When you walk by the vehicle, your Nissan senses the Intelligent Key fob's proximity to it and activates its internal functions. TheKeyLab can include opening and locking the doors, raising or lowering the tailgate, and even starting up the engine.
Certain smart key models come with an unnoticed metal key to serve as a valet parking device. The key can be taken from a release on the back of Smart Key fobs to lock the trunk or glovebox prior to giving it to the valet. The Smart Key fob has 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 require replacing its batteries. The owner's manual will give instructions on how to change the batteries in most fobs.

For instance, you can adjust the mirrors and seat to maximize comfort. You can also control the music from your phone, meaning you'll never have to leave your car.
Intelligent Key Fobs include an antenna built-in that sends signals to your vehicle every time you push a button or come close to it. Once your vehicle is aware of this signal, it activates the system, opening or locking doors, starting the engine, and opening the trunk. If you'd like to test the fob, stand at a distance away from your vehicle and press the buttons. If the lights flash or the horn sound then you have successfully programmed your Intelligent Key Fob.
Batteries are required for the operation of Intelligent Key Fobs. If yours has run out then our Parts Department can help you to replace it quickly and efficiently. To do this, simply remove the key hidden in the lock and access the battery compartment of your key fob. Replace the battery with a new one after taking out the old one. Assure that the positive side of the new battery is facing in the same direction it did with the original one. Close the battery compartment, and then, after that, return the key back to its hidden place inside the case.
Remote Start
Nissan remote start is a feature that permits drivers to cool or warm their vehicle from outside the vehicle, as long as they are within operating range. The ignition of the car is activated by pressing the button on the key fob or mobile application. The remote start system can also engage climate control, allowing the driver to choose their preferred temperature. Some systems offer two-way communication that lets the driver know what's happening inside their vehicle.
Low battery power is the most common reason for your remote to stop not working. The key fob runs on an insignificant, replaceable battery that lasts for about two years before it's time to be replaced. The battery replacement is an easy process, however you'll be required to know the location of the key hidden on your Intelligent Key fob and how to access the battery compartment.
To do so turn your fob upside down and press the hidden key release latch that is located on the back of the key pad. Once the keypad has been opened take out the old batteries and replace them with fresh ones. Make sure your new battery is the same dimensions and configuration of the old one. Be sure to reinstall the hidden key and put back the key fob in the correct way before closing the case. Contact our parts department to assist with replacing your Intelligent Key fob battery.
Lockout Protection
Lockout protection eliminates lockouts that are caused by impedance failure. A special module in the power control unit checks the impedance relay's activity and then turns off the output. This feature is available on vehicles that are equipped with the Smart Key system, or by using the vehicle personalization menu.
Many serious accidents have happened because a machine was turned on when it should have been shut down to repair or maintenance. These accidents are usually the result of stored energy that is not properly released. Lock-out tag-out (LOTO) systems help to prevent these accidents by making sure that machines remain completely off until an authorized person releases them.
The LOTO system is comprised of a set of locks tags, locks, and other devices that are used to secure, isolate or shut off the machine from electrical sources. All "affected", "authorized", and "qualified" personnel should be instructed in the use of lockout/tagout devices. These devices include but not limited to locks, chains padlocks and wedges, adapter pins and self-locking fasteners. Each device is unique and labeled, including the date and time at which it was applied along with the name and title of the authorized person and the reason for the lockout or tagout (repairs, maintenance, etc.). It should also be clearly stated that these devices are not able to be removed until a full LOTO procedure has been carried out.
