You can only drive your vehicle using the
master or valet keys which are registered to
the Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System com-
ponents in your vehicle. These keys have a
transponder chip in the key head.
The master key can be used for all the locks.
The valet key cannot be used for the trunk lid
or glove box locks.
To protect belongings when you leave a key
with someone, give them the valet key only.
Never leave these keys in the vehicle.
Record the key number on the key number
plate supplied with your keys and keep it in asafe place (such as your wallet), not in the
vehicle. NISSAN does not record any 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 your NISSAN dealer.
Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System KEY -
Master and Valet keys:
The key number is necessary when you need
extra Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System
keys. As many as 5 Nissan Vehicle Immobi-
lizer System keys can be used with one ve-
hicle. New keys must be registered to the
Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System compo-
nents in your vehicle by your NISSAN dealer.
At this time, you should bring all Nissan Ve-
hicle Immobilizer System keys that you have to
your NISSAN dealer for registration. This is
because the registration process will erase all
memory of the Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer
System components.
WARNING
IAlways 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.
IBefore opening any door, always look
for and avoid oncoming traffic.
IDo not leave children unattended in-
side the vehicle. They could unknow-
ingly activate switches or controls.
Unattended children could become
involved in serious accidents.

AUTOMATIC SEAT POSITIONER
OPERATION (A/T models only)This system is designed so that the driver's
seat will automatically move when the auto-
matic transmission selector lever is in the P
(Park) position. This allows the driver to get in
and out of the driver's seat more easily.
When one of the following conditions is met,
the driver's seat will slide backward:
IWhen the key is removed from the ignition
switch.
IWhen the driver's door is opened with the
key turned to ACC or LOCK.
IWhen the key is turned from ON to ACC
with the driver's door open.
When one of the following conditions is met,
the driver's seat will return to the positions
before being set.
IWhen the key is inserted into the ignition
switch.
IWhen the driver's door is closed with the
key turned to LOCK.
PROCEDURE FOR STORING
