LOCKING WITH POWER DOOR
LOCK SWITCHAll door locks will be engaged when the power
door lock switch is moved to the LOCK position
with the driver's or front passenger's door open.
Then close the door and all doors will be locked.
When the power door lock switch is moved to
the LOCK position with front doors open while a
key is in the ignition switch, all doors will lock
once and then unlock automatically.It is possible to lock/unlock all doors (including
the rear hatch), release the rear hatch 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 approxi-
mately 33 ft (10 m) from the vehicle. (The
effective distance depends upon the conditions
around the vehicle.)
As many as 5 keyfobs can be used with one
vehicle. For information concerning the purchase
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 and the rear hatch release
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
keyfob. This will prevent the keyfob
from unauthorized use to unlock the
vehicle. For information regarding the
erasing procedure, please contact a
NISSAN dealer.
