Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine KEY NUMBER
A key number platej3 is supplied with your key
Record the key number on the “Security Informa-
tion” page at the end of this manual and keep it in a
safe place, but not in the vehicle . The key can only
be duplicated using an original key or the original
key number. The key number is required when you
have lost all of the keys and do not have the original
key to duplicate from. If the key is lost, or you need
extra keys, provide an original key or the key number
to a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
NISSAN does not record key numbers, so it is very
important that you keep a record of your key num-
ber.
NEW KEYS
As many as four NATS keys can be registered to
one vehicle at any one time. New keys must be reg-
istered to the NATS components of your vehicle by
a NISSAN dealer.
When registering a new key at a NISSAN dealer,
you are requested to bring all of your NATS keys
with you. This is necessary because the registration
process will erase and reprogram the memory of
your vehicle’s NATS components.
NOTE
A key number is only required if you have lost all
of your keys and do not have one to duplicate
from. If you still have a key, this key can be dupli-
cated by a NISSAN dealer.
EMERGENCY/MECHANICAL KEY
(Intelligent Key models)
The emergency key can be used to unlock the driv-
er’s door and start the engine in emergency situa-
tions (e.g. Intelligent Key dead battery).
To use the mechanical key, release the lock knob
located on the side of the Intelligent Key then slide
and remove the cap. Unfold the mechanical key from
its housing until it locks in place.
Use the mechanical key to lock or unlock the doors.
(See “Door locks” later in this section.)
For further details on accessing and using the emer-
gency key, see “Ignition knob (where fitted)” in the
“5. Starting and driving” section.
NOTE
For the driver side door, it is normal for the key
not to go all the way into the key cylinder. The remote keyless entry system can operate all
door locks (including the back door) using the inte-
grated keyfob. The integrated keyfob can operate at
a distance of approximately 5 m (15 ft) from the
vehicle (the effective distance depends upon the
conditions around the vehicle and the state of the
keyfob battery).
As many as 5 remote controllers can be used with
one vehicle. For information about the purchase and

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine ALARM SYSTEM (where fitted)
The alarm system provides visual and audible alarm
signals if parts of the vehicle are disturbed.
How to arm the alarm system
1. Close all doors, windows, back door and bon-net.
2. Lock the vehicle using the keyfob (lock button), for additional information, see “Integrated key-
fob/remote control system” in the “3. Pre-driving
checks and adjustments” section.
NOTE
If the vehicle is not fully locked, a door/bonnet/
back door is open, or the ignition switch is in the
ON position (after arming the system), the buzzer
will sound. After correctly closing, the buzzer will
stop.
Alarm system operation
The system will give the following alarm:
The siren sounds intermittently and all direction
indicators will flash.
The alarm automatically turns off after 28 sec-
onds.
The alarm is activated when:
The volumetric sensing system (ultrasonic sen-
sors) is triggered.
Any door/the back door is opened.
The bonnet is opened.
The ignition circuit is turned on without the own-
er’s key being used.
The alarm system will stop when:
The vehicle is unlocked using the keyfob unlock
button.
The ignition switch or ignition knob is turned to
the ON position with a registered NATS key.
If the system does not operate as described
above, have it checked by your NISSAN dealer or
qualified workshop.
Ultrasonic sensors (where fitted)
The ultrasonic sensors (volumetric sensing) detect
movements in the passenger’s compartment. When
the alarm system is set to the armed position, it will
automatically switch on the ultrasonic sensors.
It is possible to exclude the ultrasonic sensors (e.g.
when leaving pets inside the car).
To exclude the ultrasonic sensors:
1. Turn the ignition switch 3 times within 7 seconds from the “OFF” to the ON position.
2. Close the door(s)/bonnet/back door and press the lock button
on the keyfob to lock all doors/
back door.
The ultrasonic sensors are now excluded from the
alarm system. All other functions of the system re-
main activated until the alarm system is disarmed
again.
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.
