Record the key number 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 an authorized
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.
WARNING
cAlways 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 opening the doors,
and will help keep out intruders.
cBefore opening any door, always
look for and avoid oncoming traffic.
c
Do not leave children unattended in-
side the vehicle. They could unknow-
ingly activate switches or controls.
Unattended children could become
involved in serious accidents.
CAUTION
cAlways use the door handle to open
or close the sliding door. Do not
attempt to open or close the door by
merely placing 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.
