You can also reset the system by pressing the lock or unlock button repeatedly. Depending on your vehicle you may hear a chime signal when you've successfully reset the system. Certain automakers have a support line that you can contact to seek help (such as GM's OnStar, Mercedes-Benz Mbrace or Hyundai Blue Link).
Certain features of your Nissan Intelligent Key fob can ensure that you aren't locked out. For instance, your car's sensors can detect if your fob remains inside the trunk or in the cabin of your car. It will send a sound and an audio alert to your fob so you are aware that you have left it in the car.
Certain models have a physical blade of a key that can be used in the case that the fob's battery fails or something else goes out of whack. On the Rogue model, for instance you can access an unlocked key by flipping the release tab at the back of the fob. This will only work when you are within the sensor range of your Nissan. This method is a bit more complicated than simply turning on the ignition, but it will help you save time and frustration.
