As opposed to earlier models of key fobs, which required you to place the key in the ignition slot to gain access to the onboard systems of your vehicle, smart keys work wirelessly. Nissan detects when you are near your vehicle and activates the Intelligent Key's internal functions. This could include opening or locking the doors, lowering and raising the tailgate, and even starting the engine.
Certain smart key models have the hidden key made of metal to serve as a valet parking device. The key can be pulled out from a release on the back of the Smart Key fob to secure the trunk or glove box before handing it to the valet. The Smart Key fob also features a charging pocket that can be used to recharge the battery when it is not in use.

Intelligent Key Fob
With a Nissan Intelligent Key Fob, you can unlock your car's doors and begin its engine with the push of an button. You can also activate a collection of presets that are based on your preferences, like adjusting the mirrors and seat to maximize comfort. You can also control the music through your smartphone so that you don't need to leave your car.
Intelligent Key Fobs include an antenna that transmits a signal to your car when you touch a button or move towards it. Once the vehicle receives the signal it is activated to unlock and lock doors, kicking off the engine, and opening the trunk. If you'd like to test the fob, stand at a distance from your vehicle, and then press the buttons. If the lights flash or the horn sounds sound, you have successfully programmed the Intelligent Key Fob.
Like all remotes, Intelligent Key fobs require batteries to function. If yours runs out then our Parts Department can help you replace it quickly and easily. To do this, remove the hidden key from the key fob and then open its battery compartment. Replace the battery with a brand new one after removing the previous one. Make sure that the positive side of the new battery faces the same direction that the previous one did. Finally close the battery compartment and return the hidden key to its hidden location within the case.
Remote Start
Nissan remote start permits drivers to cool or heat their vehicles from outside, provided they're within the operating range. The ignition of the vehicle is activated by pressing an appropriate button on a key fob or smartphone application. The remote start system can also activate climate control and allow the driver to set their preferred temperature. Some systems include two-way communication, which lets the driver see what's happening inside their vehicle.
If your car's remote start feature isn't functioning, the most frequent reason is a low battery. The key fob uses batteries that are small and replaceable that lasts around two years before needing to be replaced. The battery can be changed quickly, but you'll need to be aware of where the hidden key is on your Intelligent Key Fob and how to open the battery compartment.
Flip your fob over, and press the latch on the backside of the keypad. Once the key pad has opened take out the battery and insert a fresh one, ensuring that it is in line with the dimensions and configuration of the existing battery. Before closing the outer case, ensure that the hidden button is reinserted and the key fob is put back together correctly. Contact our parts department to assist in replacing your Intelligent Key fob battery.
Lockout Protection
Lockout protection can prevent lockouts that are caused by impedance malfunctions. A special module in the power control unit is able to monitor for impedance relay activity and then disables the output. This feature is available on vehicles that are equipped with the Smart Key system, or via the personalization menu.
Many fatal accidents have occurred when the machine was running when it was supposed to be completely off to prevent repairs or maintenance. These incidents are usually caused by stored energy that isn't properly released. Lock-out tag-out (LOTO) systems can help avoid these incidents by ensuring that machines are completely off until an authorized person releases them.
The LOTO system consists of a variety of locks, tags, and other devices to secure, isolate the device from an electric source. All "affected", "authorized", and "qualified" personnel must be instructed on the use of these devices. These devices include but aren't limited to locks, chains, padlocks, wedges, adapter pins and self-locking fasteners. Each device is identified and labeled, including the date and time at which it was put in use along with the name and address of the person who is authorized, and the purpose of the lockout/tagout (repairs maintenance, repairs or repairs, etc.). It must be clear that these devices can't be removed until a full LOTO procedure has been carried out.
