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 keyfob can operate at a distance of
approximately 33 ft (10 m) from the vehicle.
The effective distance depends on the con-
ditions around the vehicle.
As many as five keyfobs can be used with
one vehicle. For information concerning the
purchase and use of additional keyfobs,
contact an authorized NISSAN dealer.
CAUTION
Listed below are conditions or occur-
rences which will damage the keyfob:
cDo not allow the keyfob to become
wet.
cDo not drop the keyfob.
cDo not strike the keyfob sharply
against another object.cDo not place the keyfob for an ex-
tended period in an area where tem-
peratures exceed 140ÉF (60ÉC).

LESS ENTRY SYSTEM

2. Remove the key from the ignition switch.
3. Close all doors.

open, the horn beep feature will not

4. Push the
button on the keyfob. All
