Mechanical key

To remove the mechanical key, release the lock
knob at the back of the Intelligent Key.

To install the mechanical key, firmly insert it into
the Intelligent Key until the lock knob returns to
the lock position.

Use the mechanical key to lock or unlock the
doors. (See “Doors” (P.3-4).)

CAUTION

Always carry the mechanical key in-
stalled in the Intelligent Key.

WARNING

. Always have the doors locked while

driving. Along with the use of seat
belts, this provides greater safety in
the event of an accident by helping
to prevent persons from being
thrown from the vehicle. This also
helps keep children and others from
unintentionally opening the doors,
and will help keep out intruders.

. Before opening any door, always

look for and avoid oncoming traffic.

. Do not leave children unattended

inside the vehicle. They could un-
knowingly activate switches or con-
trols. Unattended children could
become involved in serious acci-
dents.

or front passenger’s) is moved to the lock
position with the ignition switch placed in
the ACC or ON position and any door open,
all doors will lock and then unlock auto-
matically.

. When the power door lock switch is moved

to the lock position with the Intelligent Key
left in the vehicle and any door open, all
doors will unlock automatically and a chime
will sound after the door is closed.

For models without Intelligent Key system:

When the power door lock switch is moved to
the lock position with the key in the ignition
switch and any door open, all doors will lock and
then unlock automatically.

AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS

. All doors lock automatically when the vehicle

speed reaches 15 MPH (24 km/h).

. All doors unlock automatically when the

ignition switch is placed in the OFF position
(models with Intelligent Key system) or when

.

It is possible to lock/unlock all doors (including
the back door), and activate the panic alarm by
using the keyfob from outside the vehicle.

Before locking the doors, make sure the
key is not left in the vehicle.

The keyfob can operate at a distance of
approximately 33 ft (10 m) from the vehicle.
(The effective distance depends upon the
conditions around the vehicle.)

As many as 5 keyfobs can be used with one
vehicle. For information concerning the pur-
chase and use of additional keyfobs, contact a
NISSAN dealer.

The keyfob will not function:
. When the keyfob is not within the opera-

tional range.

. When the doors are open or not closed

securely.

. When the key is in the ignition switch.
. When the battery is discharged.

WARNING

The remote keyless entry keyfob trans-
mits radio waves when the buttons are
pushed. The FAA advises that the radio
waves may affect aircraft navigation
and communication systems. Do not

operate the keyfob while on an air-
plane. Make sure the buttons are not
operated unintentionally when the unit
is stored during a flight.

CAUTION

The following conditions or occur-
rences will damage the keyfob.

. Do not allow the keyfob to become

wet.

. Do not drop the keyfob.
. Do not strike the keyfob sharply

against another object.

. If the outside temperature is below

14

8F (−108C) degrees, the battery of

the Intelligent key may not function
properly.

. Do not place the keyfob for an

extended period in an area where
temperatures exceed 140

8F (608C).

If a keyfob is lost or stolen, NISSAN
recommends erasing the ID code of that
keyfob. This will prevent the keyfob
from unauthorized use to unlock the
vehicle. For information regarding the

erasing procedure, please contact a
NISSAN dealer.

If the indicator light on the keyfob does not
illuminate when pushing the buttons, the keyfob
battery may be discharged.

For information regarding the replacement of a
battery, see “Key battery replacement” (P.8-23).

Make sure the buttons are not
operated unintentionally when the
unit is stored during a flight.

The Intelligent Key system can operate all the
door locks using the remote controller function
or pushing the request switch on the vehicle
without taking the key out from a pocket or
purse. The operating environment and/or condi-
tions may affect the Intelligent Key system
operation.

Be sure to read the following before using the
Intelligent Key system.

CAUTION

. Be sure to carry the Intelligent Key

with you when operating the vehi-
cle.

. Never leave the Intelligent Key in

the vehicle when you leave the
vehicle.

The Intelligent Key is always communicating with
the vehicle as it receives radio waves. The
Intelligent Key system transmits weak radio
waves. Environmental conditions may interfere
with the operation of the Intelligent Key system
under the following operating conditions.
. When operating near a location where

strong radio waves are transmitted, such
as a TV tower, power station and broad-
casting station.

. When in possession of wireless equipment,

such as a cellular phone, transceiver, and
CB radio.

. When the Intelligent Key is in contact with or

covered by metallic materials.

. When any type of radio wave remote control

is used nearby.

. When the Intelligent Key is placed near an

electric appliance such as a personal

computer.

. When the vehicle is parked near a parking

meter.

In such cases, correct the operating conditions
before using the Intelligent Key function or use
the mechanical key.

Although the life of the battery varies depending
on the operating conditions, the battery’s life is
approximately 2 years. If the battery is dis-
charged, replace it with a new one.

Since the Intelligent Key is continuously receiv-
ing radio waves, if the key is left near equipment
which transmits strong radio waves, such as
signals from a TV and personal computer, the
battery life may become shorter.

For information regarding replacement of a
battery, see “Key battery replacement” (P.8-23).

As many as 4 Intelligent Keys can be registered
and used with one vehicle. For information about
the purchase and use of additional Intelligent
Keys, contact a NISSAN dealer.

CAUTION

. Do not allow the Intelligent Key,

which contains electrical compo-
nents, to come into contact with
water or salt water. This could affect
