CHILD SAFETY REAR DOOR
LOCK
Child safety locks help prevent rear doors
from being opened accidentally, especially
when small children are in the vehicle.
The child safety lock levers are located on
the edge of the rear doors.
When the lever is in the lock position, the
door can be opened only from the outside.
It is possible to lock/unlock all doors, turn
the interior light on and activate the panic
alarm by using the remote controller from
outside the vehicle.
Be sure to remove the key from the
vehicle before locking the doors.
The remote controller can operate at a
distance of approximately 33 ft (10 m) from
the vehicle. The effective distance depends
on 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 an authorized
NISSAN dealer.

rences which will damage the remote
