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.Lockout protectionWhen the power door lock switch (driver or front
passenger) is moved to the LOCK position with
the key in the ignition and any door open, all
doors will lock and unlock automatically. This
helps to prevent the keys from being accidentally
locked inside the vehicle.It is possible to lock/unlock all doors (including
the rear hatch/trunk lid), release the rear
hatch/trunk lid and activate the panic alarm by
using the keyfobfrom outside the vehicle.
Before locking the doors, make sure the
key is not left in the vehicle.
The keyfobcan 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 keyfobwill not function when:

the battery is discharged,

the distance between the vehicle and the
keyfobis over 33 ft (10 m).
The panic alarm and the rear hatch/trunk
lid release will not activate when the key is
in the ignition switch.
CAUTION
The following conditions or occurrences
will damage the keyfob.
Do not allow the keyfob to become
wet.

Do not drop the keyfob.

Do not strike the keyfob sharply
against another object.

Do not place the keyfob for an ex-
tended period in an area where tem-
peratures exceed 140°F (60°C).
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.
