j4 Ignition knob warning (Intelligent Key
models)
The warning appears when the ignition knob is left
in the Acc or “OFF” position instead of completely
being turned to the LOCK position.
If this warning appears, turn the ignition knob to the
LOCK position.
When the ignition knob is in the ON position, a
buzzer will sound twice and the ignition knob warn-
ing shows when the ignition knob is turned to the
Acc or “OFF” position. This is to warn the driver that
the ignition knob is not in the LOCK position.
MT models:
Depress the ignition PUSH release button and turn
the ignition knob to the LOCK position.
AT or CVT models:
Make sure the gear selector lever is in the P (Park)
position and then turn the ignition switch to the
LOCK position.
See “Ignition knob (where fitted)” in the “5. Starting
and driving” section for further details.
CAUTION
The steering wheel can only be locked when
the ignition knob is in the LOCK position. Make
sure the ignition knob is in the LOCK position
before leaving the vehicle.
The emergency key can only be removed at
the LOCK position. Make sure the ignition
knob is in the LOCK position before removing
the emergency key.
See “Steering lock” in the “5. Starting and driving”
section for further details.
j5 Steering wheel lock warning
The warning appears when the ignition knob is
pressed, but not turned to the Acc or “OFF” posi-
tion within a short period. Move the steering wheel
to release the lock and turn the ignition knob to Acc
or ON. The warning will turn off in approximately 5
seconds.
See “Steering lock” in the “5. Starting and driving”
section for further details.
j6 Brake/Clutch warning (where fitted)
When starting your vehicle, it is necessary to oper-
ate the brake (CVT and AT models) or clutch pedal
(MT models).
For more information, see “Starting the engine” in
the “5. Starting and driving” section.
j7 Handbrake reminder
The reminder will come on if the handbrake is on
whilst the vehicle is being driven.
A buzzer will also sound.
j8 Intelligent Key detection warning
If the Intelligent Key is taken outside of the vehicle
ID recognition zone while the ignition knob is in the
Acc or ON position, the Intelligent Key detection
warning will be displayed and a buzzer will sound.
The Intelligent Key detection warning disappears
when the Intelligent Key is placed back in the pas-
senger compartment.
The message also appears when you try to start the
vehicle if the Intelligent Key is not detected within
the vehicle.
For more information, see “Integrated keyfob/re-
mote control system” in the “3. Pre-driving checks
and adjustments” section.
j9 Intelligent Key low battery warning
The Intelligent Key low battery warning may show if
a low battery voltage is detected when the ignition
knob is turned from “OFF” to the ON position.

ligent Key battery replacement” in the “8. Mainte-
nance and do-it-yourself” section.
j10Intelligent Key system fault warning
CAUTION
If the Intelligent Key system fault warning comes
on, it may indicate a system malfunction. We rec-
ommend that you contact a NISSAN dealer or
qualified workshop for repair.
Instruments and controls2-13

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine use of additional remote controllers, contact a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
The integrated keyfob will not function under the fol-
lowing conditions:
When the distance between the integrated key-
fob and vehicle is more than approximately 5 m
(15 ft).
When the integrated keyfob battery is
discharged.
When the key is in the ignition switch.
All doors can be locked or unlocked from the out-
side by pressing the “LOCK”
or “UNLOCK”button on the integrated keyfob.
For Super Lock system models only (RHD mod-
els):
When the vehicle is occupied, never lock the
doors with the integrated keyfob. Doing so will
trap the occupants, since the Super Lock system
prevents the doors from being opened from the
inside.
WARNING
Only operate the integrated keyfob lock button in
full and clear view of the vehicle to prevent any-
body being trapped inside the vehicle.
CAUTION
When locking the doors using the integrated
keyfob, be sure not to leave the key in the
vehicle.
Always remove the ignition key or Intelligent
Key, close all windows before operating the
keyfob door lock system.
Ensure that the driver’s door is securely
closed before operating the integrated keyfob
door lock system for correct operation of the
system.
Do not allow the integrated keyfob, which
contains electrical components, to come into
contact with water or salt water. This could
affect the system function.
Do not drop the integrated keyfob.
Do not strike the integrated keyfob sharply
against another object.
Do not place the integrated keyfob for an ex-
tended period in an area where temperatures
exceed 60°C (140°F).
If a integrated keyfob is lost or stolen, NISSAN rec-
ommends erasing the ID code of that integrated
keyfob from the vehicle. This may prevent the unau-
thorised use of the integrated keyfob to unlock the
vehicle. For information regarding the erasing pro-
cedure, contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified work-
shop.
For information regarding the replacement of a bat-
tery, see “Battery” in the “8. Maintenance and
do-it-yourself” section.
SWITCHING FROM CONVENIENCE

an attacker from entering the vehicle via an unlocked
passenger door.
As default, the unlock mode will be set to “Conve-
nience” mode (all doors will unlock). Follow the in-
structions below to switch between convenience
mode and anti-hijack mode.

taken. The auto-relock will be cancelled if any door
is opened or the key is inserted into the ignition.
KEYFOB OPERATION FAILURE
The keyfob may not work properly if:
The keyfob battery is low. See “Integrated key-
fob/Intelligent Key battery replacement” in the
“8. Maintenance and do-it-yourself” section for
keyfob battery replacement instructions and the
required battery type.
The locking/unlocking system has been used
continuously. An anti lock-abuse system pre-
vents the lock motors from overheating and dis-
ables the keyfob locking operation for a short
period of time if the system is used continuously.
The door handle is being pulled while the
keyfob is being operated.
The vehicle’s battery is dead. NOTE
See Intelligent Key detection warning, Intelligent
Key low battery warning or Intelligent Key system
fault warning in “Vehicle information display” ear-
lier in this section for more information.
The Intelligent Key system is a convenient keyless
entry system that allows you to operate your vehicle
without using an actual key.
WARNING
Radio waves could adversely affect electric medi-
cal equipment. Those who use a pacemaker
should contact the electric medical equipment
manufacturer for the possible influences before
use.
INTELLIGENT KEY OPERATING
RANGE
The Intelligent Key functions can only be used when
the Intelligent Key is within the specified operating
range from the request switch

j1 →j2→j3→j4 ) as illustrated.
CAUTION
Always connect positivej+ to positivej+
and negativej- to body ground (for ex-
ample, engine lift bracket, etc.) – not to
the battery’s negative
j-.
An incorrect connection could damage the
charging system.
Be sure that the jumper cables do not
touch moving parts in the engine compart-
ment.
Be careful not to allow contact between
the positive jump lead connector and the
vehicle or the negative lead during con-
nection and disconnection.
9. Start the engine of the other vehicle
jA and let it
run for a few minutes. Keep the engine speed at
about 2,000 rpm.
10. Start the engine of your vehicle

14. Close the bonnet.
NOTE
For models which incorporate the Stop/Start
System:
Ensure that the battery fitted is the special
battery that is enhanced with regard to the
charge-discharge capacity and life perfor-
mance. Avoid using any other battery for the
Stop/Start System, as this may cause early
deterioration of the battery or a malfunction
of the Stop/Start System. It is recommended
that a Genuine NISSAN battery is fitted. For
more information, contact a NISSAN dealer or
qualified workshop
If the battery terminal is disconnected (for bat-
tery replacement, etc.) and then reconnected,
there may be some delay before the Stop/
Start System reactivates.
