The key can only be inserted fully in the
ignition key cylinder. For the door, back door
and glove box key cylinders, it is normal for the
key not to go into the key cylinder all the way.
Record the key number on the key number
plate and keep it in a safe place (such as your
wallet), NOT IN THE CAR. A key number plate
is supplied with your key. Keep the plate in a
safe place. NISSAN does not record key num-
bers 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, this key can be duplicated by your
NISSAN dealer or a lock smith shop.Locking doors with key
To lock the door, turn the key towards the front
of the vehicle. To unlock, turn it towards the
rear.

To lock from the outside without a key, move
the inside lock knob to the ªLOCKº position.
Then close the door.
IAlways 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
