Nissan Micra (2018 year). Manual — part 8

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, it can
be duplicated without knowing the key
number.

NISSAN VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER
SYSTEM KEYS

You can only drive your vehicle using the
keys which are registered to the NISSAN
Vehicle Immobilizer System components
in your vehicle.

A mechanical key can be used for all the
locks.

Never leave the 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 ex-
isting key can be duplicated without know-
ing the key number. As many as four
NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System keys
can be used with one vehicle. You should
bring all NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer Sys-
tem keys that you have to a NISSAN dealer

for registration. This is because the regis-
tration process will erase the memory of all
key codes previously registered into the
NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System. After
the registration process, these compo-
nents will only recognize keys coded into
the NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System
during registration. Any key that is not
given to the dealer at the time of registra-
tion will no longer be able to start your
vehicle.

CAUTION

Do not allow the immobilizer system
key, which contains an electrical tran-
sponder, to come into contact with wa-
ter or salt water. This could affect sys-
tem function.

When the doors are locked using one of the
following methods, the doors cannot 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 unintention-
ally 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 operation of the
vehicle and/or its systems, including
entrapment in windows and/or inad-
vertent door lock activation, do not
leave children, people who require the
assistance of others and/or pets un-
attended in your vehicle. Additionally,
the temperature inside a closed ve-
hicle on a warm day can quickly be-
come high enough to cause a signifi-
cant risk of injury or death to people
and/or pets.

WARNING

∙ Radio waves could adversely affect

who use a pacemaker should contact
the

electric

medical

equipment

manufacturer for the possible influ-
ences before use.

∙ The remote keyless entry key fob

transmits radio waves when the but-
tons are pressed. The radio waves
may affect aircraft navigation and
communication systems. Do not op-
erate the remote keyless entry key
fob while on an airplane. Make sure
the buttons are not operated uninten-
tionally when the unit is stored for a
flight.

It is possible to lock/unlock all doors, turn
the interior light on, and activate the panic
alarm by using the key fob from outside the
vehicle.

Be sure to remove the key from the ve-
hicle before locking the doors.

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

Pre-driving checks and adjustments

As many as five key fobs can be used with
one vehicle. For information concerning
the purchase and use of additional key
fobs, it is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer.
The key fob will not function when:

∙ The battery is discharged.

∙ The distance between the vehicle and

the key fob is over 10 m (33 ft).

The panic alarm will not activate when
the key is in the ignition switch.

CAUTION

Listed below are conditions or occur-
rences which will damage the key fob:

∙ Do not allow the key fob, which con-

tains electrical components, to come
into contact with water or salt water.
This could affect the system function.

∙ Do not drop the key fob.

∙ Do not strike the key fob sharply

against another object.

∙ Do not change or modify the key fob.

∙ Wetting may damage the key fob. If

the key fob gets wet, immediately
wipe until it is completely dry.

∙ Do not place the key fob for an ex-

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

∙ Do not attach the key fob with a key

holder that contains a magnet.

∙ Do not place the key fob near equip-

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

If a key fob is lost or stolen, NISSAN rec-
ommends erasing the ID code of that
key fob. This will prevent the key fob
from unauthorized use to unlock the
vehicle. For information regarding the
erasing procedure, it is recommended
that you visit a NISSAN dealer.

WARNING

∙ Gasoline is extremely flammable and

highly explosive under certain condi-
tions. You could be burned or seri-
ously injured if it is misused or mis-
handled. Always stop the engine and
do not smoke or allow open flames or
sparks

near

the

vehicle

when

refueling.

∙ Do not attempt to top off the fuel tank

after the fuel pump nozzle shuts off
automatically.

Continued

refueling

may cause fuel overflow, resulting in
fuel spray and possibly a fire.

∙ Use only an original equipment type

fuel-filler cap as a replacement. It has
a built-in safety valve needed for
proper operation of the fuel system
and emission control system. An in-
correct cap can result in a serious mal-
function and possible injury. It could
also cause the Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL) to come on.

∙ Never pour fuel into the throttle body

to attempt to start your vehicle.

∙ Do not fill a portable fuel container in

the vehicle or trailer. Static electricity
can cause an explosion of flammable
liquid, vapor or gas in any vehicle or
trailer. To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death when filling portable
fuel containers:

– Always place the container on the

ground when filling.

– Do not use electronic devices when

filling.

– Keep the pump nozzle in contact

with the container while you are
filling it.

– Use only approved portable fuel

containers for flammable liquid.

CAUTION

∙ Do not use a fuel containing more

than 15% ethanol in your vehicle. For
additional information, refer to “Fuel
Recommendation” in the “Technical
and consumer information” section of
this manual.

∙ Failure to tighten the fuel-filler cap

properly may cause the

Mal-

function Indicator Light (MIL) to illumi-
nate. If the

light illuminates be-

cause the fuel-filler cap is loose or
missing, tighten or install the cap and
continue

to

drive

the

vehicle.

The

light should turn off after a

few driving trips. If the

light does

not turn off after a few driving trips,
have the vehicle inspected. It is rec-
ommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.

∙ The LOOSE FUEL CAP warning mes-

sage will be displayed if the fuel-filler
cap is not properly tightened. It may
take a few driving trips for the mes-
sage

to

be

displayed. Failure

to

tighten the fuel-filler cap properly af-
ter the LOOSE FUEL CAP warning mes-
sage is displayed/warning appears
may cause the

Malfunction Indi-

cator Light (MIL) to illuminate.

∙ For additional information, refer to

the “Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)”
in the “Instruments and controls” sec-
tion of this manual.
