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.
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
children and others from unintention-
ally opening the doors, and will help
keep out intruders.
IBefore opening any door, always look
for and avoid oncoming traffic.
IDo not leave children unattended in-
side the vehicle. They could unknow-
ingly activate switches or controls.
Unattended children could become
involved in serious accidents.
LOCKING WITH KEYTo lock the door, turn the key towards the front
of the vehicle. To unlock, turn it towards the
rear.
