It is possible to lock/unlock all doors and
activate the panic alarm by using the keyfob
from outside the vehicle.
Before locking the doors, make sure the
key is not left in the vehicle.
The keyfob can operate at a distance of ap-
proximately 33 ft (10 m) from the vehicle. (The
effective distance depends upon the condi-
tions around the vehicle.)
As many as four keyfobs can be used with one
vehicle. For information concerning the pur-
chase and use of additional keyfobs, contact
your NISSAN dealer.
The keyfob will not function when:
Ithe battery is dead,
Ithe distance between the vehicle and the
keyfob 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 keyfob.
IDo not allow the keyfob to become
wet.IDo not drop the keyfob.
IDo not strike the keyfob sharply
against another object.
IDo not place the keyfob for an ex-
tended period in an area where tem-
peratures exceed 140ÉF (60ÉC).
If a keyfob is lost or stolen, NISSAN
recommends erasing the ID code of that

from unauthorized use to unlock the
vehicle. For information regarding the
erasing procedure, please contact an
