How far can you drive the car without the the keyfob?
 

I tried doing a search but couldn't find a thread so:

Here's the scenario, I leave my car running and run step out for a second with the key in my pocket, someone else jumps into my car and drives off, how far can they drive? Or will they be able to drive until they turn off the car and just can't start again?

I can see the liability issue for Nissan if say, I accidentally drive off and leave my fob in my house when I went back to grab my phone and left my fob at home and the car drives for so many minutes and just all of a suddenly dies on the freeway, and someone rear-ends me and I break my neck due to the fact that the car just died while I was in the middle of a situation...

I guess it's kinda like booby trap, you set it up, but if a robber tries to rob your house and he gets hurt by it, then you can go to jail for setting it up....

ok, I'm rambling...so...anyone know the answer?

This.

you can drive until the gas tank is empty

Simple, lock the car whenever you exit the vehicle.

1. Smash window of car with engine running, doors locked
2. Drive off
3. Chop shop
4. ???
5. Profit

Turn off your car. Problem solved.

Sounds like the smart thing to do when car is running.I never leave the car running.If I have to leave I shut it off and lock it.
These Z's are hot items and we have to be aware all the time.

just dont fart or you'll open all the G37 and 370Z windows in a parking lot

Good one. I like the quality of question, no multiple choice here.

lol!Don't worry i'am always aware since the last incident!I try to do all my farting prior to entering the car.Then again an unexpected burst can happen as before!

well, I know about locking my door when I get out of my car and it still running...I'm just curious to know how far you can get without the fob...I guess until you turn off the car

i thought i saw 10 miles or so somewhere on the board

I Agree, the car will stay on until you it get's turned off and a that time if there's no fob near it's not starting again!

Try it out and see what happens!

Don't leave your car running never!!!!!!!!!! Unless your in it.

Yup yup... mos def I agree! if u tryin to leave ur car on unattended ur just askin for it.

This.

:iagree:

This could be bad news. Imagine you drop your wife/girlfriend off at the shops and she happens to have the fob in her hand bag when you thought you had it in your pocket. You wouldn't think about it until you go to pick her up and you can't start the car. Imagine the row!

You should get a warning message in the dash telling you that there is no ikey in the car.;)

Wow, some of you are paranoid.

There is no way you will drive your car and not know your key is not on you, the car makes a loud beeping noise and there is a big key in the info center.
