AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS (if so
equipped)
●All doors lock automatically when the vehicle
speed reaches 15 mph (24 km/h).
● All doors unlock automatically when the ig-
nition is placed in the OFF position or when
the key is removed from the ignition switch.
CHILD SAFETY SLIDING DOOR
LOCK
The child safety lock helps prevent the sliding
door from being opened accidentally, especially
when small children are in the vehicle.
The child safety lock lever is located on the edge
of the sliding door.
When the lever is in the unlock position, the door
can be opened from the outside or the inside.
When the lever is in the LOCK position, the
door can be opened only from the outside.
WARNING
● Radio waves could adversely affect
electric medical equipment. Those who
use a pacemaker should contact the
electric medical equipment manufac-
turer for the possible influences before
use.
● The remote keyless entry key fob trans-
mits radio waves when the buttons are
pushed. The FAA advises radio waves
may affect aircraft navigation and com-
munication systems. Do not operate the
remote keyless entry key fob while on
an airplane. Make sure the buttons are
not operated unintentionally when the
unit is stored for a flight.
It is possible to lock/unlock all doors, turn on the
interior lights and activate the panic alarm by
using the key fob from outside the vehicle.
Some settings for the key fob, such as horn beep,
can be adjusted. For additional information, refer
to “Silencing the horn beep feature” in this sec-
tion.
LPD2050
REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM
(if so equipped)
3-8Pre-driving checks and adjustments
Be sure to remove the key from the vehicle
before locking the doors.
The key fob can operate at a maximum distance
of approximately 33 ft (10 m) from the vehicle.
The effective distance depends upon the condi-
tions around the vehicle.
As many as five key fobs can be used with one
vehicle. For information concerning the purchase
and use of additional key fobs, contact a NISSAN
dealer.
The key fob will not function when:● the battery is discharged.
● the distance between the vehicle and the
key fob is over 33 ft (10 m) .
The panic alarm will not activate when the
key is in the ignition switch.
CAUTION
Listed below are conditions or occur-
rences which will damage the key fob:
● Do not allow the key fob, which con-
tains electrical components, to come
into contact with water or salt water.
This could affect the system function.
● Do not drop the key fob. ●
Do not strike the key fob sharply
against another object.
● Do not change or modify the key fob.
● Wetting may damage the key fob. If the
key fob gets wet, immediately wipe until
it is completely dry.
● Do not place the key fob for an ex-
tended period in an area where tem-
peratures exceed 140°F (60°C) .
● Do not attach the key fob with a key
holder that contains a magnet.
● Do not place the key fob near equip-
ment that produces a magnetic field,
such as a TV, audio equipment and per-
sonal computers.
If a key fob is lost or stolen, NISSAN rec-
ommends erasing the ID code of that key
fob. This will prevent the key fob from
unauthorized use to unlock the vehicle.
For information regarding the erasing
procedure, please contact a NISSAN
dealer.
HOW TO USE REMOTE KEYLESS
ENTRY SYSTEM
Locking doors
1. Close all windows.
2. Remove the key from the ignition switch.
3. Close the hood and all doors.
4. Press the
button on the key fob. All
the doors lock. The hazard warning lights
flash twice and the horn beeps once to
indicate all doors are locked.
LPD0209
Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-9
The front and rear sonar system OFF switch on
the instrument panel allows the driver to turn the
sonar system on and off. To turn the system off,
the ignition must be ON, and the shift lever in R
(Reverse) or D (Drive) . An indicator light on the
switch will illuminate when the system is turned
off. If the indicator light illuminates when the
system is not turned off, it may indicate a failure in
the sonar system.
Keep the front and rear sonar sensors (located on
the bumper fascia) free from snow, ice and large
accumulations of dirt (do not clean the sensors
with sharp objects) . If the sensors are covered, it
will affect the accuracy of the sonar system.FREEING A FROZEN DOOR LOCK
To prevent a door lock from freezing, apply de-
icer through the key hole. If the lock becomes
frozen, heat the key before inserting it into the key
hole or use the remote keyless entry key fob (if so
equipped) .
ANTIFREEZE
In the winter when it is anticipated that the tem-
perature will drop below 32°F (0°C) , check the
antifreeze to assure proper winter protection. For
additional information, refer to “Engine cooling
system” in the “Maintenance and do-it-yourself”
section of this manual.
BATTERY
If the battery is not fully charged during extremely
cold weather conditions, the battery fluid may
freeze and damage the battery. To maintain maxi-
mum efficiency, the battery should be checked
regularly. For additional information, refer to “Bat-
tery” in the “Maintenance and do-it-yourself” sec-
tion of this manual.
DRAINING OF COOLANT WATER
If the vehicle is to be left outside without anti-
freeze, drain the cooling system, including the
engine block. Refill before operating the vehicle.
For additional information, refer to “Changing
engine coolant” in the “Maintenance and do-it-
yourself” section of this manual.
TIRE EQUIPMENT
1. SUMMER tires have a tread designed toprovide superior performance on dry pave-
ment. However, the performance of these
tires will be substantially reduced in snowy
and icy conditions. If you operate your ve-
hicle on snowy or icy roads, NISSAN recom-
mends the use of MUD & SNOW or ALL
SEASON TIRES on all four wheels. Please
consult a NISSAN dealer for the tire type,
size, speed rating and availability informa-
tion.
2. For additional traction on icy roads, studded tires may be used. However, some U.S.
states and Canadian provinces prohibit their
use. Check local, state and provincial laws
before installing studded tires.
Skid and traction capabilities of studded
snow tires on wet or dry surfaces may be
poorer than that of non-studded snow tires.
