2003 NISSAN MURANO door lock

You can only drive your vehicle using the master
or valet keys which are registered to the Nissan
Vehicle Immobilizer System components 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 glove box
and console lid 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 num-
bers 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 Immobilizer System
keys can be used with one vehicle. New keys
must be registered to the Nissan Vehicle Immo-
bilizer System components in your vehicle by
your NISSAN dealer. At this time, you should
bring all Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System keys
that you have to your NISSAN dealer for regis-
tration. This is because the registration process
will erase all memory of the Nissan Vehicle
Immobilizer System components.
WARNING

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 uninten-
tionally opening the doors, and will
help keep out intruders.

Before opening any door, always
look for and avoid oncoming traffic.

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.
