You can control the climate inside the car by using the Rogue PHEV NissanConnect® Services app. You can start the climate before you leave home or work in advance to bring your vehicle to a comfortable temperature.
- For Rogue PHEV vehicles, the remote climate feature uses the vehicle battery primarily. However, when the outside air temperature is lower than 15°F (-10°C), the remote climate feature starts the engine automatically to ensure heating performance. (If you are unsure whether your vehicle is eligible, please contact your dealer.) It is important to ensure that the vehicle is parked in a safe and open location outside. When starting the climate, you can set your desired temperature.
To function properly, ensure the following:
- Your phone and the vehicle must have good cellular coverage.
- Your vehicle must be located in an open area.
- The engine must be turned off and the vehicle gear in Park (P).
- All doors to the vehicle must be closed and locked using the key fob or the mobile app.
- The hood and trunk must be closed.
- The battery, if not plugged into the charger, must have enough charge left to run the climate.
- The air temperature must not be below 5°F (-15°C).
If the remote operation is successful:
- The Climate will remain on for a time period of 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the battery level and charger plug status.
- If the outside air temperature is lower than 15°F (-10°C), then the engine will start automatically and will run for approximately 10 minutes.
- If the Climate turns off, you can start it one additional time.
- After sending two consecutive Remote Climate commands from the Rogue PHEV NissanConnect® Services app or if you have not started your vehicle's engine in the last 15 days, you will need to start your engine manually and drive a short distance over 8 km/h or 5 mph. This resets the Remote Climate counter so that you can send Remote Climate commands in the future.
To set the climate:
- Sign in to your account on the Rogue PHEV NissanConnect® Services app.
- Select the fan icon.
- Set the temperature on the dial by selecting and moving the indicator.
- Select "Start."
- A warning appears and asks you to confirm if it is safe.
- Select "It Is Safe."
- A message appears that confirms the success or failure of your request.
