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.

To lock the doors without the key, push the
inside lock knob to the lock position, then
close the door.

not to leave the key inside the vehicle.
POWER DOOR LOCK
(if so equipped)
The power door lock system allows you to

Turning the key to the front of the vehicle
locks both doors.
Turning the key one time to the rear of the
vehicle unlocks that door. From that posi-
tion, returning the key to neutral (where the
key can only be removed and inserted) and
turning it to the rear again within 5 second
unlocks both doors.To lock from the outside without a key, push
the door lock button (driver side only) or the
door lock knob (driver or passenger side),
then close the door. When locking the door
this way, be certain not to leave the key
inside the vehicle. If the key is left in the
ignition, all doors will unlock automatically.

ditions. You could be burned or se-
riously injured if it is misused or
mishandled. Always stop the engine
and do not smoke or allow open

ing may cause fuel overflow, result-
ing in fuel spray and possibly fire.
