Use the armrest control to lock all other doors, while the driver's side door is open. Before existing, simultaneously pull the driver's inside door handle and push the lock. Close the door. Use your key to unlock the door, upon return.

 

If you can not think about it then its not possible sounds like a fortune cookie.

I can Simply roll thewindow down , close the door, Lock it and roll the window up, moving the hand fast. and whe nreturn use the Key. forgot to do that in this clip Lol.

 

Dear All,
Please clarify whether the following is possible for the Touring trim.
If I keep the vehicle engine idling and exit to go somewhere (say for a couple of minutes) can I lock it remotely using the smart Key fob in hand? Also when I return to the vehicle can I unlock the vehicle remotely using the smart key fob in hand while it's still idling. I tried this but it doesn't work. This option is available on the full option Nissan Rogue/Nissan X-Trail with their intelligent key fob.

Then you answered your own question. What Nissan does or does not do... is irrelevant.

A better question in return to you would be... why do you want to do this? What possible purpose does it serve other than to leave your vehicle at risk for theft. Lucky for you.. Hondas will only go about a block away from the keyfob before shutting down.

Hondas will send out an alert tone if you exit the vehicle, close the door and walk away. There is a reason for this... they don't want you leaving an unattended vehicle running while you are not in it.

 

The reason for this is added to my question now.

Genuine question - do you think its wise or safe to be leaving your vehicle running while you are away from it for a couple of minutes, regardless of whether its locked or not?

Not sure of the benefit of your question.

Also, what about the heightened risk(s) of an opportunistic thief who sees an empty car but with an engine running? I'm sure they might take their chance, pop the window and try to make off with the car. Way too risky.

Anything that needs the driver to be away from the car for more than 2 seconds surely needs the engine turning off and ensure the car is locked. That would be the sensible precaution to take.

 

I also added the reason to this to my question

 

If you are going to post a vehicle issue or question, PLEASE INCLUDE THE YEAR AS WELL AS THE TRIM LEVEL AND YOUR LOCATION IN THE POST!!! This forum incorporates coverage of hundreds of versions of the CR-V, world wide and over 25 years. Literally every one is different. Without those three critical pieces of information it is impossible for anyone to help you.

If you don't wish to do this, here's a suggestion. Go to your Account Settings and put the information in your Signature. If you look at the bottom of my post you can see in my signature line my name, a complete description of my CR-V, and my location. Se how convenient that is? Once you've done it, it will be there on your every post, and the rest of us will no longer have to make wild guesses. I went and looked, and in your 49 posts so far you mentioned the year one time. Once. No location either. We can see the flag but it is microscopic and unidentifiable in any case. Please help us help you by taking care of this. Thanks. I don't know how this is for the other members but I see hundreds of these a week, so I may be somewhat sensitive to the issue.

As to the topic, that's educational that the UK has this law. In the US it is common practice, especially in cold or otherwise inclement weather, for folks to lock their cars and leave them running while going to the ice house on the way to work, or other stops. It's one of the main reasons the key fob was invented in the first place. These days there may be environmental concerns, and new laws here too, but nobody cares, they do what they've always done. I expect this will change over time, but I doubt I'll live to see it. Also, I'm a retired big truck driver, and spent years living in a truck. Drivers who live in trucks never shut them off, because if they are parked it's because they are sleeping inside and need the heat or A/C. SO, even though new laws forbid it and new trucks have built in shutdowns, those get bypassed. The only solution that works is the new feature in some trucks where they have an RV-type motorized generator to allow them to power the heat and A/C without running the truck's engine. Interestingly, though, these use more fuel and make more pollution than the main engines do. Nice. Oh, well, hopefully over time they will refine it. Things do change, but they do so very slowly.

 

I have done the profile change and updated it now. Thanks for the tip. Cheers.

 

Good! If I had it I would disable it immediately, as it is dangerous. I am a retired big truck driver with over five million miles safe driving, and IMO the very idea that any features of the car should take over for the driver's responsibility for paying attention and staying focused is an extremely unsafe one. Reports are already coming in that it does not work right and is unsafe. But even if it worked perfectly, it would only serve to make drivers more lazy and unsafe. The automatic lights option is proof of that. People who get out of a car that had it and get into one that doesn't have to re-learn something as basic as turning their lights on and off. It's a very scary trend, and should be outlawed.

 

My insurance company gives me a 10% discount because my CR-V has AEB. Insurance companies base their rates on actuarial tables, not anecdotal evidence or personal opinion. Statistics show that vehicles with AEB have less rear-enders than those without it. Yes the AEB sometimes malfunctions and causes accidents, but those incidents are far less common than the accidents avoided.
You could make the same erroneous arguments about air bags. They sometimes malfunction and injure or kill people, therefore they should be banned.

 

to have a car run today is going to simply capture attention not just a theif, but the Law, and it makes no difference if it is on your property or street..

From what was just said about a FOB then by all means leave the car open let it run. Why not simply let it run and hav ea removable steering wheel less the air bag and other controls who needs them when you want a feature that other cars have. time for some CAfFEEN

 

Don't you have Remote Start on your vehicle?

 

 

So in my experience and I have a few days of it almost all cars in the last 20 yes so around 2000 were wired for every option from the dealer if it's something your vehicle was designed to have no matter what country for the most part is a plug and play fix for the dealer or a decent mechanic if your car does not have auto start you can add it at any audio upgrade store for usually a couple hundred American but your best bet is take it to your local dealer or sound shop and investigate.... Just my experience good luck

I don't believe so, but I don't have the Touring trim. But Nissan's Intelligent Key is superior to Honda's key system in my experience. That is not a new capability for Nissan's Intelligent Key and it's in more than just the Rogue. Was very convenient during the winter months and also short trips into a store, such as picking up a mobile order when you won't be in a restaurant for more than a minute or two. Couldn't be stolen because the car can't move without the fob, all part of the Intelligent Key tech they have. Can't do that anymore with the CRV. It's a trade-off like many other feautres. I haven't thought about it in a while, you get used to not being able to do that anymore.

5-10 mins of wasted fuel. And what if you end up in a massive queue in store, but you also want that drink etc? Way too risky.

I'll politely disagree with you on this one. If a person needs to visit a convenience store etc, they should be parked up and locked up with the engine off.

Dear All,

Please refer to the response from J. Flower. He has given some useful information about Nissan's intelligent key system in comparison to Honda's smart key system.

 

not interested in Nissan if you wan this feature go get that feature added. called an aftermarket alarm. Morning coffee needed

 

Just turn the vehicle off, close the door, press the lock button on the key fob and the remote start for 10 or 20 minutes. Then it will turn off if you don't return and will accomplish the same thing,

 

THIS is the smart recommendation.

And I believe that even if someone broke into your vehicle while you were gone to steal it, when started with remote start... they cannot actually drive away in the vehicle without the keyfob.
