Why is the green key light flashing on the Patrol?
2 Answers
The green key light flashing on the Nissan Patrol's dashboard indicates that the key fob battery is low. Simply replace the battery to resolve the issue. How to use the Patrol's remote key: Press and hold the start button for 5 seconds until the vehicle remotely starts successfully, then release the button; Enter the vehicle and press the one-touch start while depressing the brake pedal to shift gears and start driving, otherwise the engine may stall. Introduction to the Nissan Patrol: 1. The Patrol's grille occupies the entire front face, giving the new model a strong visual impact with added chrome accents, creating Nissan's signature front fascia. The new model features more prominent taillights. 2. The Patrol adopts a four-spoke steering wheel design commonly found in luxury sedans, with an ergonomic thickness and premium leather-wood combination materials for excellent grip comfort.
When driving the Patrol, the green key light flashes, which I've encountered many times. Most cases are due to the key battery running low. The Nissan Patrol's smart key system is battery-powered, and after two or three years of use, the battery may weaken, causing the light to flash as a reminder to replace it. Sometimes, if the key is placed in a bag or pocket too far from the car, weak signal reception can also trigger this flashing. I remember one time I was in a hurry to leave, and the light kept flashing, preventing the car from starting. I panicked until I found the spare key to resolve it. It's best to develop a habit of replacing the battery every two years—just a few dollars can save a lot of hassle. Extreme temperatures inside the car, either too hot or too cold, can also affect the signal. In summer, avoid leaving the key exposed under the windshield. In short, don't ignore this warning—it's related to the anti-theft system. Mishandling it could lead to startup failure, so addressing it promptly is safer.
