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 numbers so it is very important to
keep track of your key number plate.
A key number is necessary only when you
have lost all vehicle keys and do not have
one to duplicate. If you still have a key, this
key can be duplicated by your NISSAN
dealer or locksmith shop.
Two keys are supplied with your vehicle Ð
one has a plastic head and one is all metal.
Both keys perform the same functions.
MANUAL DOOR LOCK

WARNING
c
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.
cBefore opening any door, always look
for and avoid oncoming traffic.
cDo not leave children unattended in-
side the vehicle. They could unknow-
ingly activate switches or controls. Un-
attended children could become
involved in serious accidents.
CAUTION
c
Always use the door handle to open or
close the sliding door. Do not attempt to
open or close the door by merely plac-
ing your hand on the door edge or door
slide roller, as this may cause injury.
cWhen opening the sliding door on a
slope, ensure that it is fully open and
that it does not close by itself.
CHILD SAFETY SLIDING DOOR
LOCK
Child safety locking helps prevent doors
from being opened accidentally, especially
when small children are in the vehicle.
When the lever is in the LOCK position,
the sliding door can be opened only from
the outside.
