Smart Keys
The key fob that was included with the Nissan is an essential element of its sophisticated keyless entry system. It communicates with the vehicle's electronic systems to open doors and turn on the engine. It also has a convenient design, making it simple to keep in your pocket. A key fob also offers convenience features like locking out protection that ensures you don't leave the vehicle without keys inside.

When you get close to the vehicle your Nissan senses the Intelligent Key fob's proximity to it and activates its internal functions. This may include locking or opening the doors, lowering and raising the tailgate, or even starting the engine.
Certain smart key models come with a hidden metal valet key. The key can be pulled by a release that is located on the side of Smart Key fobs to lock the trunk or glovebox before giving it to a valet. The Smart Key fob has a charging pocket which can be used to charge the battery when it is not in use.

Certain systems have two-way communication that lets the driver see what's happening inside their vehicle.
A low battery is the most frequent reason for your remote to stop not working.

Lockout Protection
Lockout protection prevents annoying lockouts due to the impedance relay failing. A special module in the power control unit monitors for the activity of the impedance relay, and then shuts down the output. This feature is available on vehicles that are equipped with the Smart Key system, or through the vehicle's personalization menu.
Many serious accidents have occurred due to a machine being started when it should have been completely turned off to prevent maintenance or repair. These accidents are usually the result of energy that was not released properly. Lock-out tag-out (LOTO) systems can prevent these accidents by making sure that machines remain completely off until the person who is authorized releases them.
The LOTO system is made up of a number of locks, tags and other devices that are used to isolate, secure the machine from electricity. All "affected", "authorized" and "qualified" personnel should be instructed on the use of lockout/tagout devices. These devices include but are not limited to locks, chains padlocks and wedges, adapter pins and self-locking fasteners. Each device is unique and labeled with the date and time it was put in use, the name and title of the authorized person and the reason for the lockout/tagout (repairs maintenance, repairs and so on.). It is essential to clearly state that these devices are not to be removed until the LOTO procedure is completed.
