How does the Nissan Qashqai start when the key is empty?

When the remote control of the Nissan Qashqai is unloaded, it will not be possible to open the car via the remote control and it will not be possible to start the engine. However, it is possible to circumvent this problem by opening the car door with the emergency key: this will be located in the rear part of the remote control. Then inserting the latter in the special ignition lock, the key ID will not be recognized due to the flat battery, preventing starting. This problem can also be solved by placing the remote control near the START / STOP button and pressing the clutch.
