A key number plate is supplied with your
key. Record the key number and keep it in a
safe place (such as your wallet), NOT IN
THE CAR. NISSAN does not record key
numbers so it is very important to keep track
of your key number plate.
A key number is necessary only when you
have lost all vehicle keys and do not have
one to duplicate. If you still have a key, this
key can be duplicated by an authorized
NISSAN dealer or locksmith shop.Two keys are supplied with your vehicle Ð
one has a plastic head and one is all metal.
Both keys perform the same functions.
WARNING
c
Always 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 unintention-
ally opening the doors, and will help
keep out intruders.
cBefore opening any door, always
look for and avoid oncoming traffic.
c
Do not leave children unattended in-
side the vehicle. They could unknow-
ingly activate switches or controls.
Unattended children could become
involved in serious accidents.
CAUTION
cAlways use the door handle to open
or close a sliding door. Do not at-
tempt to open or close the doors by
merely placing your hand on the
door edge or door slide roller, as this
may cause injury.

cAlways be sure that hands and feet
are clear of the door frame to avoid
injury while closing a sliding door.
cWhen opening a sliding door on a
slope, ensure that it is fully open and
that it does not close by itself.
LOCKING WITH KEY
Turning the door key one time to the rear of
the vehicle unlocks the corresponding door.
From that position, 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. Turning
the door key to the front of the vehicle locks
all doors. The selective unlock function and
locking all doors can be operated from the
driver, passenger and rear door.
LOCKING WITH INSIDE LOCK
KNOB
To lock all doors from inside the vehicle,
push the door lock knob in, then close the
door. When locking the doors this way, be
certain not to leave the key inside the ve-
hicle. All doors automatically unlock if the
key is in the ignition and a door is open.
