Nissan Key Fob Battery Dead, Spare Key or Keys Locked in the Car?

Nissan cars in Singapore

Nissan is a long-time favourite in Singapore, from the Sylphy and Qashqai to the Serena MPV and Kicks e-Power. We work on Nissan models including the Sylphy, Qashqai, X-Trail, Kicks, Serena and Note.

A typical Nissan call

This is the kind of Nissan call we often get: A family with a Serena MPV: a child locks the doors from inside while the Intelligent Key is on the seat, then climbs out the other side before the door shuts. Everyone is out, and the key is in. We open the car without damage.

What's different about Nissan keys

Nissan's Intelligent Key works from a pocket or bag, which makes it easy to forget where it is. MPVs like the Serena have several doors that can be locked from inside. Many Nissans use an Intelligent Key for keyless entry and push-button start, with an emergency key inside the fob. Older models use remote keys with a metal blade.

Nissan key fob battery dead? How to get in and start

1. Get in: Nissan tucks a mechanical key inside the Intelligent Key. Release it and use it on the driver's door; on an MPV like the Serena, only the driver's door has a keyhole.
2. Start the car: Touch the Intelligent Key to the push-button ignition and listen for the chime. That's the car confirming the key, so you can now start it.

Details vary by year, so check your manual. Still stuck? Call us. Key locked inside instead? See keys locked in the car.

Nissan key fob battery replacement

Most Nissan fobs take a 3V coin cell (often CR2032 or CR2025): copy the type printed on the old one and fit the new cell the same way up. Not working after the swap? See key fob not working after a battery change; if the backup start above works, the Nissan fob itself is fine.

Nissan spare key

Down to one Nissan key? We clone Nissan remote key fobs from a working key, after checking your NRIC against the log card. We don't clone smart (keyless) keys. Cloning costs S$100–S$1,000 depending on the car, so WhatsApp 9224 9224 the model, year and a key photo to confirm first.

Tips for Nissan owners

• If your Intelligent Key battery is low, many Nissans start if you touch the key to the start button. Check your manual.
• Find the hidden mechanical key in the fob before you need it.
• Keep the spare key at home rather than in the car.
