Nissan Altima Hybrid (2010 year). Manual — part 9

Your vehicle can only be driven with the Intelligent
Key which are registered to your vehicle’s Intelli-
gent Key components and NISSAN Vehicle Im-
mobilizer System components.

Never leave these keys in the vehicle.

As many as four Intelligent Keys can be regis-
tered and used with one vehicle. The new keys
must be registered by a NISSAN dealer prior to
use with the Intelligent Key and NISSAN Vehicle
Immobilizer System of your vehicle. Since the
registration process requires erasing all memory
in the Intelligent Key components when register-
ing new keys, be sure to take all Intelligent Keys
that you have to the NISSAN dealer.

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, see a NISSAN dealer for duplicates by
using the key number. NISSAN does not record
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, your NISSAN dealer
can duplicate it.

CAUTION

Listed below are conditions or occur-
rences which will damage the Intelligent
Key:

● Do not allow the Intelligent Key, which

contains

electrical

components,

come into contact with water or salt
water. This could affect the system
function.

● Do not drop the Intelligent Key.
● Do not strike the Intelligent Key sharply

against another object.

● Do not change or modify the Intelligent

Key.

● Wetting may damage the Intelligent

Key. If the Intelligent Key gets wet, im-
mediately wipe until it is completely dry.

● Do not place the Intelligent Key for an

extended period in an area where tem-
peratures exceed 140°F (60°C).

● Do not attach the Intelligent Key with a

key holder that contains a magnet.

● Do not place the Intelligent Key near

equipment that produces a magnetic
field, such as a TV, audio equipment and
personal computers.

Pre-driving checks and adjustments

Mechanical key

The Intelligent Key contains the mechanical key.

To remove the mechanical key, release the lock
knob on 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, trunk lid and glove box.

See “Doors” and “Trunk lid” later in this section,
“Storage” in the “Instruments and controls” sec-
tion and “Seats” in the “Safety — Seats, seat
belts and supplemental restraint system” section.

CAUTION

Always carry the mechanical key installed
in the Intelligent Key slot.

Valet hand-off

When you have to leave a key with a valet, give
them the Intelligent Key itself and keep the me-
chanical key with you to protect your belongings.

To prevent the glove box and the trunk from being
opened during valet hand-off, follow the proce-
dures below:

1. Push the trunk cancel switch to the OFF

position.

2. Remove the mechanical key from the Intelli-

gent Key.

3. Lock the glove box and the rear seats with

the mechanical key.

4. Hand the Intelligent Key to the valet and

keep the mechanical key with you.

See “Trunk lid” in this section, “Storage” in the
“Instruments and controls” section and “Seats” in
the “Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental
restraint system” section.

NISSAN VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER
SYSTEM KEYS

You can only drive your vehicle using the master
keys which are registered to the NISSAN Vehicle
Immobilizer System components in your vehicle.
These keys have a transponder chip in the key
head.

The master key can be used for all the locks.

To protect belongings when you leave a key with
someone, give them the Intelligent Key only, not
the mechanical key.

Never leave these keys in the vehicle.

Additional or replacement keys:

If you still have a key, the key number is not
necessary when you need extra NISSAN Vehicle
Immobilizer System keys. Your dealer can dupli-
cate your existing key. As many as four NISSAN
Vehicle Immobilizer System keys can be used
with one vehicle. You should bring all NISSAN
Vehicle Immobilizer System keys that you have to
your NISSAN dealer for registration. This is be-
cause the registration process will erase the
memory of all key codes previously registered
into the NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System.
After the registration process, these components
will only recognize keys coded into the NISSAN
Vehicle Immobilizer System during registration.

Any key that is not given to your dealer at the time
of registration will no longer be able to start your
vehicle.

Do not allow the immobilizer system key, which
contains an electrical transponder, to come into
contact with salt water. This could affect system
function.

When the doors are locked using one of the
following methods, the doors can not be opened
using the inside or outside door handles. The
doors must be unlocked to open the doors.

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 open-
ing 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 unknowingly ac-
tivate switches or controls. Unattended
children could become involved in seri-
ous accidents.

LOCKING WITH KEY

The power door lock system allows you to lock or
unlock all doors at the same time.

Pre-driving checks and adjustments

WARNING

● Radio waves could adversely affect

electric medical equipment. Those who
use a pacemaker should contact the
electric medical equipment manufac-
turer for the possible influences before
use.

● The Intelligent Key transmits radio

waves when the buttons are pressed.
The FAA advises the radio waves may
affect aircraft navigation and communi-
cation systems. Do not operate the In-
telligent Key while on an airplane. Make
sure the buttons are not operated unin-
tentionally when the unit is stored for a
flight.

The Intelligent Key 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 conditions may affect the
Intelligent Key operation.

Be sure to read the following before using the
Intelligent Key:

CAUTION

● Be sure to carry the Intelligent Key with

you when operating the vehicle.

● 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 Intel-
ligent Key transmits weak radio waves. Environ-
mental conditions may interfere with the opera-
tion 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 broadcasting
station.

● When in possession of wireless equipment,

such as a cellular telephone, 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 com-
puter.

● 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.

When the Intelligent Key battery is almost dis-
charged, insert the Intelligent Key into the Intelli-
gent Key port to start the Hybrid System. Replace
the discharged battery with a new one as soon as
possible. For more details, see “Push-button ig-
nition switch” in the “Starting and driving” sec-
tion.

Since the Intelligent Key is continuously receiving
radio waves, if the key is left near equipment
which transmits strong radio waves, such as sig-
nals from a TV and personal computer, the bat-
tery life may become shorter.

For information regarding replacement of a bat-
tery, see “Battery replacement” in the “Mainte-
nance and do-it-yourself” section.

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.
