Hi Robert,
I’m thinking of upgrading to the 2018 Nissan Rogue. Since the weather is so cold at the moment, I’ve been letting my car’s engine run for a few minutes before I set off. So, I’m just wondering if this model has a remote start option.
Thanks,
Amy
Hi, Amy!
Well done to you for braving the elements each morning! I’m sure your car’s engine appreciates the warm up. The 2018 Rogue is a great model and you’ll be happy to know there is a remote start option available.
To use this function, you first press the lock key and then hold the ‘engine start’ button for at least two seconds. After this, the car will run for 10 minutes and then switch off automatically. This system can turn on the vehicle’s heaters too, so you won’t have to fight the cold off for longer than necessary.
Using the remote start function is also useful in summer, as you can kick up the A/C before entering the car. So, no matter how harsh the weather is outside, the climate will always be perfect in your Rogue.
Thanks for the question, Amy! Why not head down to Kirkland Nissan, Washington and try this model out for yourself?
