2000 NISSAN MAXIMA child lock

Front facingIf you must install a child restraint in the front
seat, follow these steps:
1. Position the child restraint on the front
passenger seat.It should be placed in a
front facing direction only.Move the seat
to the rearmost position. Always follow the
child restraint manufacturer's instructions.
Child restraints for infants must be used
in the rear facing direction and therefore
must not be used in the front seat.2. Route the seat belt tongue through the child
restraint and insert it into the buckle until
you hear and feel the latch engage. Be sure
to follow the child restraint manufacturer's
instructions for belt routing.3. Pull on the shoulder belt until all of the belt
is fully extended. At this time, the belt
retractor is in the automatic locking mode
(child restraint mode). It reverts back to
emergency locking mode when the belt is
fully retracted.

4. Allow the belt to retract. Pull up on the belt
to remove any slack in the belt.5. Before placing the child in the child re-
straint, use force to tilt the child restraint
from side to side, and tug it forward to make
sure that it is securely held in place.
6. Check that the retractor is in the automatic
locking mode by trying to pull more belt out
of the retractor. If you cannot pull any more
belt webbing out of the retractor, the belt is
in the automatic locking mode.
7. Check to make sure that the child restraint
is properly secured prior to each use. If the
lap belt is not locked, repeat steps 3
through 6.
After the child restraint is removed and theseat belt is allowed to wind back into the
retractor, the automatic locking mode (child
restraint mode) is canceled; the seat belt only
locks during a sudden stop or impact.

You can only drive your vehicle using the
master or security keys which are registered to
the Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System com-
ponents in your vehicle. These keys have a
transponder chip in the key head.
The master key can be used for all the locks.
The security key cannot be used for the trunk
lid or glove box locks.
To protect belongings when you leave a key
with someone, give them the security key only.
Never leave these keys in the vehicle.
Record the key number on the key number
plate supplied with your keys and keep it in asafe place (such as your wallet), not in the
vehicle. NISSAN does not record any 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 your NISSAN dealer.
Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System KEY -
Master and Security keys:
The key number is necessary when you need
extra Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System
keys. As many as 5 Nissan Vehicle Immobi-
lizer System keys can be used with one ve-
hicle. New keys must be registered to the
Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System compo-
nents in your vehicle by your NISSAN dealer.
At this time, you should bring all Nissan Ve-
hicle Immobilizer 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 Immobilizer
System components.
WARNING
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.

CHILD SAFETY REAR DOOR
LOCKChild safety locking helps prevent doors from
being opened accidentally, especially when
small children are in the vehicle.
When the lever is in the lock position, the
rear door can be opened only from the
outside.It is possible to lock/unlock all doors to release
the trunk lid 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.
The multi-remote controller will not function
when:
Ithe battery is dead,
Ithe distance between the vehicle and the
remote controller is over 33 ft (10 m).
The panic alarm will not activate when the
key is in the ignition switch.
CAUTION
The following conditions or occurrences
will damage the remote controller.IDo not allow the remote controller to
become wet.
IDo not drop the remote controller.
IDo not strike the remote controller
sharply against another object.
IDo not place the remote controller for
an extended period in an area where
temperatures exceed 140ÉF (60ÉC).
If a multi-remote controller is lost or
stolen, NISSAN recommends erasing
the ID code of that controller. This will
prevent the controller from unautho-
rized use to unlock the vehicle. For in-
formation regarding the erasing proce-
dure, please contact an authorized
NISSAN dealer.
