Starting Your Nissan with a Dead Key Fob

Experiencing a dead Nissan key fob battery can be inconvenient, but starting your Nissan is still possible with a few simple steps. Here’s how to start a Nissan with a dead key fob:

  1. First, locate the small release latch on the back of the key fob. Use it to slide out the hidden emergency key.
  2. Use the hidden key to manually unlock your Nissan’s door.
  3. In vehicles with a push-button start, place the key fob against the START/STOP button and press it while stepping on the brake pedal. This method works because the button can still detect the key fob’s presence even if the battery is dead.
