1. Two master keys (black) with transpon-
der chip and chrome NISSAN brand
symbol on one side
2. Valet key (black) with transponder chip
3. Key number plate
4. Transponder chip
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 a NISSAN dealer for duplicates by
using the key number. NISSAN does not record
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, your NISSAN dealer
can duplicate it.
NISSAN VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER
SYSTEM (NVIS) KEYS
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 console box
lock, the beside storage compartment lock, or the
tailgate lock.
To protect belongings when you leave a key with
someone, give them the valet key only.
Never leave these keys in the vehicle.
Additional or replacement keys:
If you still have a key, the key number is not
necessary when you need extra NISSAN Vehicle
Immobilizer System keys. Your dealer can dupli-
cate your existing key. As many as five 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 registrationprocess 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. This could affect system
function.
