It is possible to lock/unlock all doors (including
the back door) 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 10 m (33 ft) 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 a NISSAN
dealer.
The keyfobwill not function when:

the battery is discharged,

the distance between the vehicle and the
keyfobis over 10 m (33 ft).

will damage the keyfob.

Do not allow the keyfob to become

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 60°C (140°F).
If a keyfob is lost or stolen, NISSAN
recommends erasing the ID code of that
