2012 NISSAN Rogue - NISSAN Intelligent Key

NISSAN Intelligent Key® (if so equipped)

The NISSAN Intelligent Key® is an alternative to your regular vehicle key. With the Intelligent Key in your pocket or purse, you can lock or unlock your doors and the liftgate-- and start the engine.

To unlock the vehicle, push this Request Switch on the door handle. That door will now unlock. Push the switch again within five seconds, to unlock all doors and the liftgate. To open the liftgate, push the Opener Switch just above the license plate and pull up.

To lock your vehicle, push the Request Switch on the driver's or passenger's door, or the liftgate, once. These lock and unlock functions are operational when the Intelligent Key is within about 2 ½ feet of the corresponding request switch.

To operate the engine with the Intelligent Key, just push in on the ignition switch and turn it to the START position. To turn your engine OFF, shift into PARK and turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position.

The Intelligent Key is also equipped with all the functions of the Remote Keyless Entry system for operating door locks. For full details, please go to the Remote Keyless Entry Chapter.

To prevent accidentally locking your key inside the vehicle, your Intelligent Key has lockout protection. If you exit with the Intelligent Key inside, it will unlock all doors immediately and sound a warning chime as soon as you close the door.

In a rare instance when your Intelligent Key battery is discharged, you can still use the Mechanical Key to lock or unlock the vehicle, and start the engine. You will find the Mechanical Key concealed on the back of the Intelligent Key. To remove it, release the lock knob on the back of the Intelligent Key and slide the Mechanical Key out. Then insert the Mechanical Key into the key cylinder on any door to lock or unlock the vehicle.

To start the engine with the Mechanical Key, you'll find there is a concealed key slot in the center of the ignition switch. Push the key against it to insert, then turn it to start.

The Intelligent Key contains sensitive electrical components. Please avoid these circumstances that could affect its operation:
-Avoid dropping or striking it against another object.
-Keep away from water.
-Keep away from computers, cell phones, TVs and audio equipment with magnetic fields.
-Avoid using a key chain that contains a magnet.
