tion card supplied with the vehicle documentation.
NOTE
•The 4 digit radio code is shown on a card that
you received with your vehicle documenta-
tion.
•Record the 4 digit radio code on the “Security
information” page at the end of this manual.
Remove the security page and keep it in a
safe, not in the vehicle.
•Contact a NISSAN dealer if you do lose the 4
digit radio code of the audio unit.
