Nissan Murano remote start tips and tricks

But hold it right there! Before using the remote start feature on your Nissan Murano, here are a few helpful tips and tricks to think about first:

Need your engine running for more than 10 minutes? No problem—just repeat the remote start process and your time will be extended for another 10 minutes.

Make sure to remote start your Nissan Murano in a well-ventilated area, like outside your garage. Starting your vehicle in a closed garage or other enclosed space will put you at risk for carbon monoxide poisoning.

Remove all flammable materials, such as grease, oil, paper, wood, and dead grass, as far away from your Murano as possible out of an abundance of caution.

Key Takeaway Before you use your Nissan Murano’s remote start feature via key fob or NissanConnects Services app, make sure your Murano is nowhere near flammable materials and is in a well-ventilated area.

This app is great, but the customer service is even better! Not to mention convenient! My husband and I got the lowest rate (much lower than the rates I was finding online through my own searches), quickly, and pretty much all through text message! Thank you so much for a hassle free experience👍
