How long does remote start stay on?

Once Remote Engine Start is activated, your Nissan vehicle will run for 10-20 minutes, depending on your vehicle model. If you haven’t entered the vehicle with a key by the time that period lapses, your engine will shut down automatically.

If your vehicle fails to start following a remote command, you’ll be notified by the push notification preference you set on the MyNISSAN app or MyNISSAN Owner Portal.

Extend Your Remote Start Time

On select models, you can extend your Nissan remote start once by 10 extra minutes before it turns itself off. On the MyNISSAN app, just press the "Start/Stop" button again within the initial 10 minutes.
