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
cAlways 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.
cBefore opening any door, always
look for and avoid oncoming traffic.
cDo not leave children unattended in-
side the vehicle. They could un-
knowingly activate switches or con-
trols. Unattended children could
become involved in serious acci-
dents.
LOCKING WITH KEY

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 seconds
unlocks all doors.

power door lock switch (driver or passenger

CHILD SAFETY REAR DOOR
LOCK (Crew Cab models only)
Child safety locks help prevent the rear
doors from being opened accidentally, es-
pecially when small children are in the ve-
hicle.

the edge of the rear doors.

door can only be opened from the out-
side.It is possible to lock/unlock all doors, and
activate the panic alarm by using the remote
controller.

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
