2004 NISSAN MURANO Owners Manual

A key number plate is supplied with your keys.
Record the key number and keep it in a safe
place (such as your wallet), not in the vehicle. If
you lose your keys, see an NISSAN dealer for
duplicates by using the key number.
A key number is necessary when you have lost
all keys and do not have one to duplicate from. If
you still have a key, your NISSAN dealer can
duplicate it.NISSAN VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER
SYSTEM (NVIS) KEYSYou can only drive your vehicle using the master
or valet keys which are registered to the NissanVehicle 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 glove box lock.
To protect belongings when you leave a key with
someone, give them the valet key only.
Never leave these keys in the vehicle.
Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System KEY — Mas-
ter and Valet keys:
If you still have a key, the key number is not
necessary when you need extra Nissan Vehicle
Immobilizer System keys. Your NISSAN dealer
can duplicate it. As many as 5 NVIS keys can be
used with one vehicle. You should bring all NVIS
keys that you have to your NISSAN dealer for
registration. This is because the registration
process will erase the memory of all key codes
previously registered into the Nissan Vehicle
Immobilizer System. After the registration pro-
cess, these components will only recognize keys
coded into the Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer Sys-
tem (NVIS) during registration. Any key that is
not given to your dealer at the time of registration
will no longer be able to start your vehicle.
Do not allow the immobilizer system key,
which contains an electrical transponder,
to come into contact with salt water. Thiscould affect system function.

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.
LOCKING WITH KEY
PowerThe power door lock system allows you to lock
or unlock all doors simultaneously.

Turning the driver’s door key to the front of
the vehicle will lock all doors (including the
back door) and fuel filler lid.

Turning the driver’s door key one time to the
rear of the vehicle will unlock the driver’s
door. From that position, returning the key to
neutral (where the key can only be removed
and inserted) and turning it to the rear againwithin 5 seconds will unlock all doors and fuel
filler lid.
Opening and closing front windowsTurn the driver’s door key to the unlock position
and hold for about 1 second, the front windows
will begin to lower.

It is possible to lock/unlock all doors (including
the back door) and fuel filler lid 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 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 five keyfobs can be used with one
vehicle. For information concerning the purchase
and use of additional keyfobs, contact your

tended period in an area where tem-
peratures exceed 140°F (60°C).
If a keyfob is lost or stolen, NISSAN
