Intelligent Key System
A convenient function for vehicle locking and unlocking without the need to use a key
Nissan’s Intelligent Key System can lock and unlock the vehicle by pressing the request switch on a door. The system also allows for starting the engine without having to insert the key into an ignition switch, making departure seamless by removing the need to handle a key.
Technology Functionality
The Intelligent Key System has the following functions:
Door locking / unlocking
While having the Intelligent Key with you, such as in a pocket or bag, you can lock or unlock the vehicle’s doors by pressing the request switch on the outer door handle. For some models, the system also will automatically lock the vehicle’s doors when you leave the proximity of the car with your Intelligent Key (auto-locking function). When you get near the vehicle, the system automatically unlocks the vehicle’s door (auto-unlocking function).
Engine startup
While having the Intelligent Key with you, the vehicle engine can be started by pressing the power switch (or engine switch) without the need to insert a key into the ignition switch.
Technology Configuration
The Intelligent Key System transmits signals between the vehicle and the Intelligent Key. Pressing the request switch transmits a signal from the vehicle. The Intelligent Key receives the signal and automatically returns a signal, triggering the vehicle to be locked or unlocked.
Similarly, for starting the engine, when the power switch (or the engine start switch) is pressed, the vehicle transmits a signal, which is then received and returned by the Intelligent Key, allowing the engine to start.
Transceivers are installed on the right and left doors, rear door (or trunk), and near the driver’s seat. The signal transmitted by the vehicle is tuned to reach within a one to two meter radius around the vehicle, or only inside the vehicle.
The technology in the Intelligent Key is characterized by its accurate signal output, detection range and ability to measuring the Intelligent Key distance (in proximity of the vehicle). Further, the signal transmitted by the Intelligent Key contains an individual recognition code that is uniquely registered to a vehicle. The system will not respond to signals from unregistered keys.
