How to Start the Car When the Nissan Teana Key Fob Battery Dies?
2 Answers
The methods to start the Nissan Teana when the key fob battery is dead are: 1. For card-style smart keys (pre-2009 models with twist-start), insert the small key into the twist knob to start the engine; 2. For oval-shaped smart key A (button-start models), insert the key into the key slot beneath the start button; 3. For oval-shaped smart key B, press the key against the start button to initiate ignition. The Nissan Teana is a flagship mid-to-high-end luxury sedan under NISSAN, with body dimensions of 4868mm (length) × 1830mm (width) × 1490mm (height). Exterior-wise, the Teana's front fascia resembles the all-new Sylphy, incorporating Infiniti-inspired dynamic design elements into its body lines, accentuating a more fashionable and sporty aesthetic.
Every time I drive, I worry about the key fob running out of battery, but the Teana has a solution. I remember last time when my key fob didn’t work, I used the small button on the smart key to pop out the mechanical key part, inserted it into the keyhole on the driver’s side door handle to unlock the door. Once inside, I sat down, placed the entire key fob near the start button next to the steering wheel—usually the area with the key symbol—pressed the brake pedal, and lightly tapped the button, and the engine started. This method is called emergency start, and the Teana is well-designed for it, requiring only close proximity for detection. The key is to stay calm and avoid forcing a start to prevent damage to the car. It’s advisable to keep some CR2032 batteries in the car or at home—replacing them is simple, just unscrew the back cover. If that doesn’t work, check if the key fob is damaged or visit a service center. Prevention is better than trouble; regular maintenance of the key fob battery can save a lot of hassle, especially checking it before trips is always a good idea.
