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.

3-2Pre-driving checks and adjustments

All doors can be locked/unlocked from the outside
by pressing the lock/unlockbutton on the
keyfob.
A selective unlock or “anti-hijack” mode allows to
remotely unlock only the driver’s door in order to
prevent an attacker from entering the vehicle via an
unlocked passenger door. For details, see “Unlock-
ing the doors – anti-hijack mode” later in this section
for unlocking the doors.
The integrated keyfob can operate at a distance of
approximately 5m (15ft) from the vehicle (the effec-
tive distance depends upon the conditions around
the vehicle and the state of the keyfob battery).
As many as four integrated keyfobs can be used for
one vehicle. For information concerning the pur-
chase and use of additional integrated keyfobs, con-
tact your NISSAN dealer.CAUTION
•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 a correct operation of
the system.
Listed below are conditions or occurrences that
will damage the integrated keyfob.
•If the integrated keyfob becomes wet.
•If the integrated keyfob is dropped.
•If the integrated keyfob is sharply struck
against another object.
USING THE REMOTE KEYLESS
ENTRY SYSTEM
WARNING
For Super Lock system equipped models, failure
to follow the precautions below may lead to haz-
ardous situations. Make sure that the Super Lock
system activation is always conducted safely.
•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 of the vehicle.
•Only operate the integrated keyfob lock but-
ton when there is a clear view of the vehicle.This is to prevent anybody from being trapped
inside the vehicle through the Super Lock sys-
tem activation.
For further details on the Super Lock system see
“Door locks” later in this section.
LOCKING THE DOORS
1. Remove the ignition key or Intelligent Key.
2. Close all the doors.
3. Push the lock
button on the integrated keyfob.
•All the doors will lock.
•The hazard indicator flashes once.
When the lock
button is pushed with all doors
locked, the hazard indicator flashes once to remind
you that the doors are already locked.
NOTE
An auto-relock function will operate after a full or
partial unlock, when no further user action oc-
curs.
The relock will operate approximately 2 minutes af-
ter full or partial unlock.
The auto-relock function is cancelled when any door
is opened or the key is inserted in the ignition (type
jA).

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.
