nism: Because the steering wheel is locked elec-
trically, unlocking the steering wheel with the
ignition switch in the LOCK position is impossible
when the vehicle battery is completely dis-
charged. Unlocking the steering wheel is impos-
sible even if the Intelligent Key is inserted into the
ignition switch. Pay special attention that the
vehicle battery is not completely discharged.
As many as 4 Intelligent Keys can be registered
and used with one vehicle. For information about
the purchase and use of additional Intelligent
Keys, contact a NISSAN dealer.
