2014/2015 keyless entry questions

[andygold]

Don't have a Rogue yet...

IIUC... you walk within a certain distance of the car and it will allow you to push the door button and unlock the doors...
How far away can you be for the "proximity" to work? I'm just curious if I can be in the house with fob in pocket and have the kids run out to the car and open it up let's say to grab something they forget inside the car. If the doors will in fact open from some distance, would the kids be able to start the vehicle, and then drive away? (will the car stall if it gets too far from the remote)?

Do the doors automatically lock when you walk away? Again, how far? Can you manually lock them with the fob, and if so is there some sort of audible confirmation?

What happens when you go out to your car with a mostly depleted battery in the remote? Will it give you some warning? What happens if you are driving and the remote's battery dies, does the car think you've walked away, will it continue to run (yeah, possibly a dumb question)?

Can the battery be strong enough to open the doors, but not have enough juice to allow for starting?

Has anyone had their vehicle long enough to have had a battery go dead, and/or has anyone had any of the above happen?

Anything I missed in regards to keyless starting and the remote's battery??

The buttons on the door for me don't work unless I'm within a few feet of the car.

The doors don't automatically lock on my 2014. You can manually lock with the fob and it will chirp the horn (you can turn that chirp on or off).

I do believe there is a warning if the battery is almost dead. The car will continue to run if you start it with the key in the car and then remove the key. It will not start again without the key, however I was told by my dealer that even if the battery dies you can still start the car. You hold the dead fob next to the start/stop button for a few seconds and then start it, and it should start. I have not tested that.

If it's strong enough to open the doors, its strong enough to start the car.

The remote does have a manual key built in to it that you can use on the driver's door if it completely dies or stops working, so you can still get into the car no matter what.

You have to be about 24 inches from the sensor on the outside of the car to lock-unlock the car.
It's in the manual.

"It's in the manual" that i don't have. I haven't purchased the vehicle yet. I'm still doing my homework on it and trying to understand some of the new tech features.

How do you set it to chirp when you lock the doors?

Thanks. Does this also turn on the horn when you lock? I would rather it not honk. It may piss someone off who is standing nearby.

That's the only thing that it does. It makes the horn "chirp" when you lock the car with the key fob. It is not too loud as it is a very short chirp.

Nice to know about the hidden key, I had no idea as well as if the battery dies to hold it next to the ignition button to turn the car on. Great to know!
