seat. This position is not suitable for
child restraint installation.

A key number is supplied with your key.
Record the key number and keep it in a safe
place (such as your wallet), NOT IN THE
VEHICLE. If you lose your keys, see an
authorized NISSAN dealer for duplicates by
using the key number. 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, this
key can be duplicated by an authorized
NISSAN dealer or locksmith.
WARNING
I
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
unintentionally opening the doors,
and will help keep out intruders.
I
Before opening the door, always
look for and avoid oncoming traffic.
I
Do not leave children unattended in
a locked vehicle. They could un-
knowingly activate switches or con-
trols. Unattended children could be-
come involved in serious accidents.
Locking doors with key
To lock the door, turn the key towards the
front of the vehicle. To unlock, turn it to-
wards the rear.
On power door lock equipped models, lock-
ing the driver door simultaneously locks
the passenger's door.
