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 thevehicle (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
use of additional remote controllers, contact a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
The integrated keyfob will not function under the fol-
lowing conditions:
•When the distance between the integrated key-
fob and vehicle is more than approximately 5 m
(15 ft).
•When the integrated keyfob battery is
discharged.
•When the key is in the ignition switch.
All doors can be locked or unlocked from the out-
side by pressing the “LOCK”
or “UNLOCK”button on the integrated keyfob.
For Super Lock system models only:
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.
WARNING
Only operate the integrated keyfob lock button in
full and clear view of the vehicle to prevent any-
body being trapped inside the vehicle.CAUTION
•When locking the doors using the integrated
keyfob, be sure not to leave the key in the
vehicle.
•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 correct operation of the
system.
•Do not allow the integrated keyfob, which
contains electrical components, to come into
contact with water or salt water. This could
affect the system function.
•Do not drop the integrated keyfob.
•Do not strike the integrated keyfob sharply
against another object.
•Do not place the integrated keyfob for an ex-
tended period in an area where temperatures
exceed 60°C (140°F).
If a integrated keyfob is lost or stolen, NISSAN rec-
ommends erasing the ID code of that integrated
keyfob from the vehicle. This may prevent the unau-
thorised use of the integrated keyfob to unlock the
vehicle. For information regarding the erasing pro-
cedure, contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified work-
shop.

replacement” in the “8. Maintenance and
do-it-yourself” section for keyfob battery replace-
ment instructions and the required battery type.
Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-5

•The locking/unlocking system has been used
continuously.
An anti lock-abuse system prevents the lock mo-
tors from overheating and disables the keyfob
locking operation for a short period of time if the
system is used continuously.
•The door handle is being pulled while the
keyfob is being operated.
•The vehicle’s battery is dead.
