How to remote start your Infiniti Q50
In order to use the remote engine start feature for your Infiniti Q50, you must first enable remote start in the vehicle's settings located in the touch screen display of your Infiniti. The car’s ignition must be off and the doors must be closed and locked.
The Infiniti Q50 remote start system works best within 200 feet of your vehicle. Once you’re in range, follow these easy steps.
Starting the car
- Press the lock button on your key fob or intelligent key.
- Press and hold the engine start button for at least 2 seconds. This must be done within 5 seconds of pressing the lock button.
- Look for your Q50’s parking lights to come on. This will indicate that Infiniti remote start has been activated.
You can also start your Q50 using Infiniti’s InTouch app available for Apple and Android smartphones.
Once you’ve started your Q50, it will run for up to 10 minutes before automatically shutting off.
The heating and cooling system will turn on at the same setting you left it when you last turned off your car’s ignition.
To begin driving, just press the brake pedal, then press the ignition button, and you’re ready to go.
Turning off the engine
To turn off the engine, push and hold the engine start button.
If you started up your Q50 but decided to stick around for one more karaoke song, just press and hold the engine start button for two seconds to shut the engine off. And if you just got caught up in a great conversation, you don’t have to worry—your Q50 will automatically shut off after 10 minutes.

Which Infiniti models come with remote start?
The Q50 isn’t the only Infiniti vehicle with remote start capabilities. Here is a list of other Infiniti models offering that sweet remote start convenience:
- Q50
- QX50
- QX55
- Q60
- QX60
- QX80
If you don’t see your model on this list, check with your local dealership to find out if having an OEM remote start kit installed in your Infiniti is an option. You can also check with local mechanics and garages to see about aftermarket options.
Keep in mind: Remote start functions are only compatible with automatic transmission vehicles. If your Infiniti has a manual transmission, you’re out of luck.
