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, butnot 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).

this section for further details.
•If the vehicle is unlocked and no doors are
opened for 2 minutes the doors will automati-
cally be locked.
CAUTION
•Make sure the Intelligent Key battery is in good
condition. Note that battery life may vary de-
pending on condition, amount of use, ambi-
ent temperature, etc.
•The Intelligent Key contains a miniature radio
transmitter that may be affected when placed
near metal objects.
•Keep the Intelligent Key away from mobile
phones, laptop computers and other metal
objects or electronics.
STARTING THE ENGINE WITH THE
INTELLIGENT KEY
See “Push-button ignition switch (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
start. See “Intelligent Key operating range” in
the “3. Pre-driving checks and adjustments”
section
SUPER LOCK SYSTEM (RHD models)
WARNING
Super Lock system equipped models:
Failure to follow the precautions below may lead
to hazardous situations. Make sure 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”
button when there is a clear view of the ve-
hicle. This is to prevent anybody from being
trapped inside the vehicle through the Super
Lock system activation.
Pressing the “LOCK” button (
) on the integrated
keyfob or locking the doors using one of the request
buttons (Intelligent Key models) will activate the Su-
per Lock system.
When the Super Lock system is active, none of the
doors can be opened from inside the vehicle. This
provides additional security in case of theft or break-
in.
The Super Lock system will be released when all
the doors are unlocked using the integrated keyfob
or a request button (Intelligent Key models).

main activated until the alarm system is disarmed
again.
NOTE
One or any further number of presses of the ul-
trasonic sensor deactivation button
j1 excludes
the ultrasonic sensors for the next time the alarm
system is armed and only that instance. Pressing
the button twice does not reactivate the system.
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/indicator light
(where fitted)
One of the following functions (depending on the
vehicle specifications) indicates that the vehicle is
equipped with NATS:
•The NATS security warning light (Type A) is lo-
cated in the meter panel and blinks whenever
the ignition switch is in the LOCK, “OFF” or Acc
position.
SIC2045ZMeters and gauges (Type A)

Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-13

•The NATS security indicator light (TypejB) is
located on the Driver’s side of the dashboard
and blinks whenever the ignition switch is in the
LOCK, “OFF” or Acc position.
If the NISSAN Anti-Theft System (NATS) is mal-
functioning, this light will remain on while the ignition
switch 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,
there is a 10 second time slot to start the engine
after the ignition is turned off. See your NISSAN
dealer for NATS service as soon as possible.

•Fuel is extremely flammable and highly explo-
sive under certain conditions. Always stop the
engine and do not smoke or allow open flames
or sparks near the vehicle when refuelling.
•Fuel may be under pressure. Turn the cap half
a turn and wait for any hissing sound to stop,
in order to prevent fuel from spraying out and
causing possible personal injury.
•Use only a NISSAN fuel filler cap or exact
equivalent as a replacement. It has a built-in
safety valve needed for proper operation ofthe fuel system and emission control system.
An incorrect cap can result in a serious mal-
function and possible injury.
CAUTION

PARKING BRAKE SWITCH
3-16Pre-driving checks and adjustments

•A buzzer will sound if the vehicle is driven
without releasing the parking brake. See “Au-
dible reminders” in the “2. Instruments and
controls” section.
•While the electric parking brake is applied or
released, an operating sound is heard from
the lower side of the rear seat. This is normal
and does not indicate a malfunction.
•When the electric parking brake is frequently
applied and released in a short period of time,
the parking brake may not operate in order to
prevent the parking brake system from over-
heating. If this occurs, operate the electric
parking brake switch again after waiting ap-
proximately 1 minute.
•The electric parking brake can only be re-
leased with the ignition switch in the ON posi-
tion.
•If the electric parking brake must be applied
while driving in an emergency, pull up and
hold the parking brake switch. When you re-
lease the parking brake switch, the parking
brake will be released.
•While pulling up the electric parking brake
switch while driving, the parking brake is ap-
plied and a chime sounds. The parking brake
indicator light in the meter and in the parking
brake switch illuminate. This does not indi-
cate a malfunction. The electric parking brake
indicator lights in the meter and in the parking
brake switch turn off when the parking brake
is released.
•Pull up the electric parking brake switch twice
so that the maximum electric parking brake
force is applied to the vehicle.
•When pulling the electric parking brake switch
up with the ignition switch in the OFF or ACC
position, the parking brake switch indicator
light will continue to illuminate for a short pe-
riod of time.
CAUTION
To park the vehicle in cold climates place the
shift lever in 1st (1) or Reverse (R) (or in Park (P)
for automatic (AT) vehicles), and place suitable
chocks at both the front and back of a wheel with
the electric parking brake released. If the electric
parking brake is applied in cold climates, the
brake may become frozen and cannot be re-
leased.
DRIVING AWAY WHEN TOWING A
TRAILER
Please note the following points to prevent the ve-
hicle from rolling back unintentionally on a gradient.
•Pull and hold the parking brake switch and press
the accelerator. The parking brake will remain
engaged and prevent any tendency to roll back
down the slope.
•You can release the parking brake switch as
soon as the engine is delivering enough power
to the wheels.
Depending on the weight of the vehicle and trailer
and the steepness of the slope, there may be a ten-dency to roll back downhill when driving away from
a standstill. You can prevent this by pulling up the
parking brake switch as you press the accelerator
(in the same way as with a conventional handbrake).
