STARTING THE ENGINE WITH THE
INTELLIGENT KEY
See “Ignition knob (where fitted)” in the “5. Starting
and driving” section.
CAUTION
•Make sure you carry the Intelligent Key with
you when starting and driving the vehicle.
•If the Intelligent Key is too far away from the
passenger compartment, the vehicle may not

WARNING
•Always look before opening any doors, to

SUPER LOCK SYSTEM (Right-hand
drive models)
WARNING
For Super Lock System equipped models, failure
to follow the precautions below may lead to haz-
ardous situations. Make sure the Super Lock Sys-
tem activation is always safely conducted.
•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
System activation.
Locking the doors with the integrated keyfob will
lock all doors including the back door and activate
the Super Lock System. This means that none ofthe doors can be opened from the inside, adding
extra security in case of break-in or theft.
The system will be released when the door is un-
locked with the integrated keyfob.
The Super Lock System will not activate when the
doors are locked with the power door lock switch or
the key.
Emergency situations
If the Super Lock System is activated due to a traf-
fic accident or other unexpected circumstances
while you are in the vehicle:
•Insert the key/emergency key in the ignition
switch, turn it to the ON position, the Super Lock
system will be released and all doors can be
unlocked.
•Open or break the door window on the front
passenger’s side, remove the protection cap on
the passenger’s side door handle, insert the key
into the passenger’s side door key cylinder and
turn it to the unlock position, after which you will
be able to open the door.
•Remove the key from the ignition switch and un-
lock the door using the integrated keyfob.

NISSAN ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM (NATS)
The NISSAN Anti-Theft System (NATS)* will not
allow the engine to start without the use of the reg-
istered NATS key.
* Immobilizer
If the engine fails to start using the registered NATS
key, it may be due to interference from another
NATS key, an automated toll road device or an auto-
mated payment device on the key ring. Restart the
engine using the following procedure:
1. Leave the ignition switch in the ON position for
approximately 5 seconds.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the “OFF” or LOCK
position and wait approximately 5 seconds.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2.
4. Restart the engine while holding the device
(which may have caused the interference) sepa-
rated from the registered NATS key or NATS
Intelligent Key (where fitted).
If this procedure allows the engine to start,
NISSAN recommends placing the registered
NATS key or NATS Intelligent Key (where fitted)
on a separate key-ring to avoid interference from
other devices.
NATS security warning light
The security warning light blinks whenever the igni-
tion switch is in the LOCK, “OFF” or Acc position.
This function indicates that NATS is equipped on
the vehicle.
If the NISSAN Anti-Theft System (NATS) is mal-
functioning, this light will remain on while the ignition
key is in the ON position.
If the light remains on and/or the engine will not
start, see your NISSAN dealer for NATS service
as soon as possible. Please bring all NATS keys
or NATS Intelligent Keys when visiting your
NISSAN dealer for service.
Additional information for RHD models
If the NATS is malfunctioning, this light will turn on
after flashing six times while the ignition switch is in
the ON position.
However, if the NATS security warning light turns
off after the light has remained on for 15 minutes,
