1. Master keys*
2. Valet key*
3. Key number plate
(* With built-in 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 any 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, this key can beduplicated by a NISSAN dealer.
NISSAN VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER
SYSTEM KEYSYou 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 rear floor
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.
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 5 keys can be
used with one vehicle. You should bring all the
registered keys that you have to a NISSAN
dealer for registration. This is because the reg-
istration process will erase the memory of all key
codes previously registered into the NISSAN
Vehicle Immobilizer System. After the registra-
tion process, these components will only recog-
nize keys coded into the NISSAN Vehicle Immo-
bilizer System during registration. Any key that isnot given to your dealer at the time of registration
will no longer be able to start your vehicle.
CAUTION
Do not allow the NISSAN Vehicle Immo-
bilizer System key, which contains an
electrical transponder, to come in con-
tact with salt water. This could cause the
system to malfunction.

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.

Turning the driver’s door key one time to the
front of the vehicle

door and rear hatch/trunk lid. From that po-
sition, returning the key to neutral (where the
key can only be removed and inserted) and
turning it to the front again within 5 secondswill unlock the passenger’s door.
