How to Start a Nissan Sylphy When the Electronic Key is Dead?
2 Answers
There are two methods to start a Nissan Sylphy when the key battery is dead: 1. Press the key's logo side firmly against the one-touch start button for a few seconds, then press the button directly. 2. Shift the gear lever to P position, firmly depress the foot brake, touch the ignition switch with the smart key, and within 10 seconds of the buzzer sounding, depress the brake pedal and press the ignition switch. Additional Information: The Nissan Sylphy is a compact sedan under Dongfeng Nissan, with body dimensions of 4631mm in length, 1760mm in width, 1503mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2700mm. It is equipped with a 1.6L 122 horsepower L4 engine, delivering a maximum power of 90 kW and a maximum torque of 155 Nm. The front suspension uses a MacPherson strut independent suspension, while the rear suspension employs a torsion beam non-independent suspension.
Last time I drove my Sylphy to work, the key suddenly stopped responding and I was almost late. Don't panic, there's usually a small button on the back of the Sylphy key that releases a hidden physical key when pressed. Use it to turn the door lock open. Once inside, if the electronic key is dead, the push-button start might not work. Place the key near the button, like around the steering wheel area, and hold the button for 5-10 seconds—the engine should start. After that, quickly buy a CR2032 battery and replace it yourself; they're available at supermarkets. This experience made me habitually check the key's battery every two months—it feels both cost-effective and convenient. Keeping a spare battery in the car can be a lifesaver in critical moments.
