How to Start the Car When the Murano Key Fob Battery Dies?
3 Answers
To start the car when the Murano key fob battery is dead: Slide open the end of the key fob to remove the mechanical key, then insert it into the keyhole under the steering wheel to start the vehicle. The battery replacement method is as follows: 1. Use a flathead screwdriver to pry open the key fob cover; 2. Remove the old battery and replace it with a new one; 3. Close the key fob cover. Taking the 2021 Murano as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4897mm, width 1908mm, height 1691mm, torque 2830nm, fuel tank capacity 72l, trunk capacity 535l, minimum ground clearance 185mm, and curb weight 1656kg.
I also encountered a dead key fob situation last time. The Murano's remote key has a small mechanism on the side—press the button to extract the mechanical key. Simply insert the mechanical key into the keyhole on the driver's door handle to unlock the car. To start the vehicle, place the key fob against the push-button start. The dashboard will detect the key chip and display a green light. At this point, press the start button while holding the brake pedal to ignite the engine. After a full vehicle power cycle, the anti-theft light might blink, which is normal. Remember to promptly purchase a CR2032 coin cell battery from a convenience store and replace it after completing these steps.
When the key battery is low, the key is to utilize the emergency induction area inside the car. My experience is: first, pull out the physical key hidden in the key fob to unlock the door. Once inside, don't rush to press the brake pedal. Instead, place the key flat against the area with a key symbol on the right side of the steering column, approximately 10 cm below the push-to-start button. When the vehicle detects the chip signal, a key icon will appear on the dashboard. At this point, press the brake pedal and the start button to ignite the engine. This induction zone is quite hidden, and Nissan dealership technicians mention that many car owners are unaware of this little trick.
