It's a breeze to replace the battery on the key fob of your Nissan. It may seem daunting at first, but you'll get the hang of it in no time.
Smart Keys
The key fob that was included with the key fob that came with your Nissan is a vital component of the car's advanced keyless entry system. It connects to the vehicle's electronics to unlock doors and begin the engine. It also has a convenient design, making it easy to carry in your pocket. Key fobs also come with other advantages, including locks out protection. This feature will ensure that you don't get locked out of your vehicle with the keys inside.
Smart keys function wirelessly unlike previous models that required you to insert the key into an ignition slot to access the internal systems of your vehicle. Nissan detects when you enter your vehicle and activates the Intelligent Key's internal functions. This may include locking or opening the doors, raising and lowering the tailgate, or even starting the engine.
Certain smart key models have a hidden metal key to serve as a valet parking device. The key can be removed from a release on the side of the Smart Key fob to secure the trunk or glove box prior to handing it to the valet. The Smart Key fob also features an charging pocket that can be used to recharge the battery when not in use.
It's possible to replace the batteries on your Nissan Intelligent Key fob if it's not functioning properly. The owner's manual will give instructions on how to change the batteries in most fobs.

Batteries are essential to operate Intelligent Key Fobs. Our Parts Department will help you quickly and efficiently replace it if the battery runs out of batteries. To do this, remove the key from its hidden compartment and then access the battery compartment of your key fob. Remove the old battery and then insert a fresh one in its place. Make sure the positive side of the new battery is facing the same direction as the original one did. Close the compartment for the battery, and then, after that, return the key back to its concealed position inside the case.
Remote Start
Nissan remote start is a feature that permits drivers to warm up or cool their car from outside the vehicle, if they are within the operating range. The ignition on the car is activated when a driver presses a button on the key fob or smartphone app. The remote start system can also trigger the climate control so that the driver is able to choose their preferred temperature. Some systems offer two-way communications that allows the driver to observe what is happening in their vehicle.
Low battery power is the most common reason why your remote is not working. The key fob is powered by a small battery which can be replaced. It lasts around two years. The battery replacement is an easy task, but you'll need to know the location of the hidden key on the Intelligent Key fob and how to access the battery compartment.
To do so switch your fob on its side and press the hidden key release latch on the back of the key pad. Once the key pad is opened, remove the old battery and insert a fresh one, ensuring it is in line with the size and configuration of the current battery. Before closing the outer case ensure that the hidden key is inserted, and that the key fob is reassembled correctly. Contact our parts department to assist with replacing your Intelligent Key fob battery.
Lockout Protection
Lockout protection eliminates lockouts that result from impedance problems. A special module within the power control monitors the activity of the impedance relay, and shuts off the output. This option is available on vehicles with the Smart Key system, or via the personalization menu.
Many serious accidents have occurred because an equipment started running when it was supposed to be completely off for repairs or maintenance. These accidents are often caused by stored energy that was not properly released. Lock-out-tag-out (LOTO) is a method to ensure that machines are shut off until a designated individual releases them, helps avoid these accidents.
The LOTO system is comprised of a variety of locks tags, locks and other devices that are used to secure, isolate or block the device from electrical power. All "affected" and "authorized" personnel should be trained on the use of these lockout/tag-out devices. These devices include, but aren't limited, to chains, locks and padlocks. Each device is uniquely identified and labeled with the date and time of application as well as the name of the authorized person, and the reason for the lockout or tag-out (repair, maintenance, etc). It is imperative to state clearly that these devices are not to be removed until the LOTO procedure is complete.
