The interior lights illuminate when a front or
rear door (crew cab only) is opened. Once
the doors are closed, these lights turn off in
30 seconds or turn off immediately when the
key is turned to the ON position.
BATTERY SAVER
If the vehicle doors are not fully closed and
the interior lights remain illuminated, they
eventually turn off automatically to prevent
the battery from becoming discharged. Inte-
rior lights that illuminate when doors are
opened turn off after approximately 30 min-
utes.

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.

turning it to the rear again within 5 seconds
unlocks all doors.
