If you want to remote start your 2021 Nissan Rogue, double-click the lock button on your key fob. Within the next five seconds, then depress the engine start button and hold it for at least two seconds. For some Rogue trims, you can also remote start using a smart device.
The remote start process will start your Nissan's engine, turn on the parking lights, and — depending on the outside temperature — potentially rev up the air conditioning or heater. The engine will run for 10 minutes before turning off. If you dread starting your day in a car that's freezing cold (or boiling hot, for that matter), the remote start has you covered.

You can remote start your Nissan Rogue using your key fob or, with some trims, the NissanConnect Services app or MyNISSAN Owner Portal. For the remote start feature to work, your Rogue should be in park with the ignition off. Its doors should be closed and locked as well.
After remote starting your Rogue, the car will run for 10 minutes. If you haven't begun driving within that time frame, the vehicle will automatically turn off. You can then remote start the car for another 10 minutes using your key fob or smart device.
Only the base trim (the Nissan Rogue S) does not offer the remote start as a standard feature.
Starting the car with a key fob
- Make sure you're within 200 feet of your vehicle.
- Press your key fob's lock button twice.
- Within five seconds of step two, press the engine start button. Hold it down for two seconds.
- Once you see the parking lights turn on, you're good to go.
Starting the car with a smart device
Some trims allow you to remote start your car using the NissanConnect Services app or MyNISSAN Owner Portal. You will first have to register with NissanConnect Services, create a MyNISSAN Owner Portal account, and set up a secure PIN.

- Enter your Rogue's VIN into the app.
