What to Do When the Nissan Tiida One-Key Start Remote Battery Dies?
2 Answers
If the Nissan Tiida one-key start remote runs out of battery, you can replace the key battery. Here are the steps to replace the smart key battery for the Tiida: 1. Locate a small switch on the back of the key fob and flip it; 2. Pull the top part outward to remove the internal metal mechanical key; 3. After removing the mechanical key, you will see a small groove; 4. Use a flathead screwdriver or another tool to pry open the key cover along the groove, then manually open it when a gap appears; 5. Once the key cover is open, remove the old battery and replace it with a new one (pay attention to the polarity); 6. Finally, reattach the key cover and insert the mechanical key back to complete the process.
Oh, I've personally experienced this several times – a dead key fob can be really frustrating. Actually, it's quite simple. First, don't panic. Most Nissan Tiida's smart keys with push-button start use a coin cell battery inside, like CR2032, which typically lasts 1-2 years. I've replaced mine by simply opening the key fob – just use a small flathead screwdriver to gently pry open the back cover and replace it with an identical new battery (available at convenience stores or auto shops for a few bucks). If you don't have tools handy, there's usually a hidden mechanical key inside – pull the keyring to extract it for manual door unlocking. Once inside, place the key near the start button area (often near the steering wheel base or button vicinity), hold the button for a few seconds, and the car will miraculously start. Pro tip: Perform annual battery checks, keep a spare battery in your car, and you'll avoid last-minute surprises.
