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.
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.
