Step by step.
- 01
Park outdoors, select Park, switch the ignition off and close the hood, liftgate and every door.
- 02
Aim the Intelligent Key at the QX50 and press LOCK.
- 03
Within five seconds, press and hold the remote-start button until the turn signals flash and the tail lamps illuminate; hold at least two seconds when the vehicle is not visible.
- 04
Enter with the key, hold the brake and push the ignition switch to ON before selecting a drive position.
- 05
Repeat the LOCK-then-remote-start sequence once if you need to extend the initial 10-minute session.
Important limits
- Never remote-start in a garage or other enclosed space, and comply with local idling laws.
- The first run lasts 10 minutes and can be extended once for up to 20 minutes total.
- The nominal range is about 197 ft (60 m); walls, radio interference and a weak key battery can reduce it.
Quick checks.
- ✓If remote start does not respond, confirm Park is selected, the hood and doors are closed and locked, the hazards are off and the Intelligent Key is outside.
- ✓If the start limit was reached, start and drive the QX50 normally before trying again.
- ✓If range is poor, move closer, keep the key away from phones and metal objects and replace its battery if needed.
