You can only drive your vehicle using the
master keys which are registered to the Nissan
Vehicle Immobiliser System components in
your vehicle. These keys have a transponder
chip in the key head.
The keys can be used for the door, back door
or glove box locks.
Never leave these keys in the vehicle.
Record the key number on the key number
plate supplied with your keys and keep it in a
safe place (such as your wallet), not in the
vehicle. NISSAN does not record any key
number 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.
Nissan Vehicle Immobiliser System keys:
The key number is necessary when you need
extra Nissan Vehicle Immobiliser System
keys. As many as 5 Nissan Vehicle Immobil-
iser System keys can be used with one ve-
hicle. New keys must be registered to the
Nissan Vehicle Immobiliser System compo-
nents in your vehicle by your NISSAN dealer.
At this time, you should bring all Nissan Ve-
hicle Immobiliser System keys that you have to
your NISSAN dealer for registration. This is
because the registration process will erase all
memory of the Nissan Vehicle Immobiliser
System components.
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.

It is possible to lock/unlock all doors and
activate the panic alarm by using the remote
controller from outside the vehicle.
Before locking the doors, make sure the
key is not left in the vehicle.
The remote controller can operate at a dis-
tance of approximately 33 ft (10 m) from the
vehicle. (The effective distance depends upon
the conditions around the vehicle.)
As many as four remote controllers can be
used with one vehicle. For information con-
cerning the purchase and use of additional
remote controllers, contact your NISSAN
dealer.

when:
Ithe battery is dead,
Ithe distance between the vehicle and the

rences which will damage the remote
