Pre-driving checks and adjustments

A key number plate is supplied with your
keys. Record the key number and keep it
in a safe place (such as your wallet), not in
the vehicle. If you lose your keys, it is
recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer
for duplicates by using the key number.
NISSAN does not record any key numbers
so it is very important to keep track of
your key number plate.
A key number is only necessary when you
have lost all keys and do not have one to
duplicate from. If you still have a key, it
can be duplicated without knowing the
key number.

NISSAN VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER SYS-
TEM KEY (if so equipped)

Your vehicle can only be driven with the
master keys, which are registered to the
NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System com-
ponents. As many as 4 master keys can
be registered and used with one vehicle.
The new keys must be registered by a
NISSAN dealer prior to use with the
master of your vehicle. Since the registra-
tion process requires erasing all memory
in the master components when register-
ing new keys, be sure to take all master
keys that you have to the NISSAN dealer.

CAUTION

Do not allow the NISSAN Vehicle
Immobilizer System key, which con-
tains an electrical transponder, to
come into contact with water or salt
water. This could affect the system
function.

INTELLIGENT KEY (if so equipped)

Your vehicle can only be driven with the
Intelligent Keys which are registered to
your vehicle’s Intelligent Key system com-
ponents and NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer
System components. As many as 4 In-
telligent Keys can be registered and used
with one vehicle. The new keys must be
registered by a NISSAN dealer prior to use
with the Intelligent Key system and
NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System of
your vehicle. Since the registration pro-
cess requires erasing all memory in the
Intelligent Key components when regis-
tering new keys, be sure to take all
Intelligent Keys that you have to the
NISSAN dealer.

CAUTION

. Be sure to carry the Intelligent

Key with you when driving. The
Intelligent Key is a precision de-
vice with a built-in transmitter. To
avoid damaging it, please note
the following.

Pre-driving checks and adjustments

3-3

3-4

Pre-driving checks and adjustments

— The Intelligent Key is water

resistant; however, wetting
may damage the Intelligent
Key. If the Intelligent Key gets
wet, immediately wipe until it
is completely dry.

— Do not bend, drop or strike it

against another object.

— If the outside temperature is

below 14°F (-10°C) degrees, the
battery of the Intelligent Key
may not function properly.

— Do not place the Intelligent

Key for an extended period in
a place where temperatures
exceed 140°F (60°C).

— Do not change or modify the

Intelligent Key.

— Do not use a magnet key

holder.

— Do not place the Intelligent

Key near an electric appliance
such as a television set, per-
sonal computer or cellular
phone.

— Do not allow the Intelligent

Key to come into contact with
water or salt water, and do
not wash it in a washing

machine. This could affect
the system function.

. If an Intelligent Key is lost or

stolen, NISSAN recommends
erasing the ID code of that Intel-
ligent Key. This will prevent the
Intelligent Key from unauthorized
use to unlock the vehicle. For
information regarding the eras-
ing procedure, it is recommended
you visit a NISSAN dealer.

SPA2033

Mechanical key

To remove the mechanical key, release
the lock knob at the back of the Intelli-
gent 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.3-5).)

CAUTION

Always carry the mechanical key
installed in the Intelligent Key.

WARNING

. Always have the doors locked

while driving. Along with the use
of seat belts, this provides great-
er 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 unin-
tentionally opening the doors,
and will help keep out intruders.

. Before opening any door, always

look for and avoid oncoming
traffic.

. To help avoid risk of injury or

death through unintended opera-
tion of the vehicle and or its
systems, including entrapment
in windows or inadvertent door
lock activation, do not leave chil-
dren, people who require the
assistance of others or pets un-
attended in your vehicle. Addi-
tionally, the temperature inside a
closed vehicle on a warm day can
quickly become high enough to
cause a significant risk of injury
or death to people and pets.

SPA2457

LOCKING WITH KEY

The power door lock system allows you to
lock or unlock all doors simultaneously.
. Turning the driver’s door key cylinder

to the front of the vehicle

will lock all

doors and the liftgate.

. Turning the driver’s door key cylinder

once to the rear of the vehicle

will

unlock the driver’s door. After return-
ing the key to the neutral position,
turning it to the rear again within 5
seconds will unlock all doors and the
liftgate.

. You can switch the lock system to the

mode that allows you to open all the
doors when the key is turned once.

It is possible to lock/unlock all doors
(including the liftgate), and activate the
panic alarm by using the key fob from
outside the vehicle.
Before locking the doors, make sure the
key is not left in the vehicle.

The key fob 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 4 key fobs can be used with
one vehicle. For information concerning
the purchase and use of additional key
fobs, contact a NISSAN dealer.

WARNING

The remote keyless entry key fob
transmits radio waves when the
buttons are pushed. The FAA advises
that the radio waves may affect
aircraft navigation and communica-
tion systems. Do not operate the key

fob while on an airplane. Make sure
the buttons are not operated unin-
tentionally when the unit is stored
during a flight.

CAUTION

The following conditions or occur-
rences will damage the key fob.
. Do not allow the key fob to

become wet.

. Do not place the key fob for an

extended period in an area where
t e m p e r a t u r e s e x c e e d 1 4 0 ° F
(60°C).

If a key fob is lost or stolen, NISSAN
recommends erasing the ID code of
that key fob. This will prevent the key
fob from unauthorized use to unlock
the vehicle. For information regard-
ing the erasing procedure, it is re-
commended that you visit a NISSAN

dealer.

For information regarding the replace-
ment of a battery, see “Key fob battery
