The method to use the remote start feature on the New Sylphy is as follows: 1. First, point the smart key at the vehicle and press the lock button to secure all doors; 2. Within 2 seconds, press and hold the remote engine start button until the signal light flashes and the tail lights illuminate; 3. If the vehicle is not within sight, press and hold the remote engine start button for at least 2 seconds. The New Sylphy is a compact sedan under Dongfeng Nissan, equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine producing a maximum horsepower of 135. The vehicle dimensions are 4641mm in length, 1815mm in width, and 1450mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2712mm. It comes with a CVT continuously variable transmission and has a top speed of 186 kilometers per hour.
When I first got my new Sylphy, I particularly loved using its remote start feature, especially to pre-warm the cabin on cold days. The operation is super simple: first, download and install the NissanConnect app on your smartphone, register and log in, then bind your vehicle. On the main interface, just tap the engine start button. Before starting, make sure the car is locked and parked within a safe distance. The app also allows you to set the air conditioning temperature, like adjusting it to 25°C with warm air to heat the car in winter. The engine typically runs for about 10 minutes before automatically shutting off. I use this feature to start the car from my office in advance, so the temperature is just right when I get in, saving me from waiting in the cold. However, be mindful of the app's network connection status—it might fail if the signal is weak. Also, don’t keep the key too far from the car, and ensure the battery is sufficiently charged to avoid sluggish performance. Once these minor issues are handled, it’s a real pleasure to use.
As an experienced driver with many years behind the wheel, I find the remote start feature on the new Sylphy both practical and safe. Typically, key fob operation is the preferred method: first press the lock button to confirm doors are secured, then hold the remote start button for about 3 seconds within 1 second until the light flashes, and the engine begins preheating. Maintaining a distance of approximately 20 meters yields optimal results, with the engine automatically shutting off after roughly 15 minutes to prevent battery drain. Using the mobile app is equally convenient – simply tap the remote control option in the Nissan App for quick activation. I particularly appreciate this feature during winter mornings as it saves time by warming up the cabin before entry. However, always check surroundings to ensure no one is near the vehicle cabin, and operate from a safe distance for maximum security – accidental alarm triggers during engine startup could otherwise cause unnecessary hassle.
