The key/emergency keyjB is applicable to:
•the ignition switch or ignition knob (keyfob dead
battery situation)
•the left-hand side door key cylinder (vehicle dead
battery situation)
•the front passenger air bag switch
CAUTION
Do not leave the ignition key or Intelligent Key
inside the vehicle when you leave the vehicle.
NOTE
To access the emergency key
jB (Intelligent Key
equipped models), remove the keyfob lower
cover according to the steps
j1,j2andj3 de-
scribed in “Emergency key – Intelligent Key dead
battery situation” in the “5. Starting and driving”
section.
The key can only be inserted fully in the ignition
switch or knob cylinder. For the left-hand side doorhandle and front passenger air bag switch (Intelli-
gent Key equipped models), it is normal for the key
not to go into the key cylinder all the way.
Record the key number shown on the tag
jA on the
“Security information” page at the end of this manual
and keep it in a safe place,not in the vehicle.Ifyou
lose your keys or Intelligent Keys, see your 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.
Note that 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 be dupli-
cated by your NISSAN dealer.
Only the NISSAN Anti-Theft System (NATS)* key
can be used on your vehicle. A key number is nec-
essary when you need an extra NATS key. As many
as four NATS keys can be used on one vehicle. The
new key must be registered to the NATS compo-
nents of your vehicle by your NISSAN dealer. At this
time, you are requested to bring all your NATS keys
to your NISSAN dealer.
* Immobilizer
This is necessary because the registration process
will erase all memory of the NATS components.
Do not allow NATS keys which contain the tran-
sponder chip to come in contact with salt water.
Salt water may damage the transponder chip and
cause a NATS key malfunction.

While in the convenience mode, press the lock/unlockbuttons simultaneously for 5 seconds
to set the anti-hijack mode. Note that the above pro-
cedure must be done with the ignition switch “OFF”.
The hazard indicator flashes once as anti-hijack
mode setting confirmation.The same procedure should be used in order to dis-
able the anti-hijack system and return to conve-
nience mode.
The hazard indicator flashes three times as conve-
nience mode setting confirmation.

The same procedure should be used in order to dis-
able the anti-hijack and return to convenience mode.
A confirmation flash of the
Intelligent Key warn-
ing light (red) will indicate that the anti-hijack mode
has been properly disabled.
See “Warning/indicator lights and audible
reminders” in the “2. Instruments and controls” sec-
tion for further details on the
Intelligent Key warn-
ing light/Intelligent Key indicator light.
KEYFOB OPERATION FAILURE
The keyfob may not work properly in several situa-
tions as listed below:
•When the keyfob battery is dead.
•When the locking/unlocking system is used con-
tinuously, an anti lock-abuse system prevents the
lock motors from overheating and disables the
keyfob locking operation for a short period of
time.
•When the door handle is pulled while the keyfob
is being activated.
See “Integrated Keyfob/Intelligent Key battery
replacement” in the “8. Maintenance and
do-it-yourself” section for battery replacement and
requested battery type.
