The Altima remote start feature should work up to 197 feet away, but we recommend getting as close as possible (without venturing out into the cold, of course) to ensure success on your first try. Then, follow these steps to start the car.
Starting the car
Double-click the lock button on your key fob

Your Altima will stay on for up to 10 minutes before it shuts off automatically. Since this is an older model, the temperature inside will remain what it was when you last turned off the car, so think ahead if you plan to start it remotely.
It could not be easier! In newer models, you can use the NissanConnect app to remote start your vehicle from your phone. It works just like you have a key fob, only on a screen!
