a place where temperatures
exceed 140°F (60°C).
— Do not change or modify the Intelligent Key.
— Do not use a magnet key holder.
— Do not place the Intelligent Key near an electric appliance
such as a television set, per-
sonal computer or cellular
phone.
— Do not allow the Intelligent Key to come into contact with
water or salt water, and do
not wash it in a washing
machine. This could affect
the system function.
. If an Intelligent Key is lost or
stolen, NISSAN recommends

ligent Key. This will prevent the
Intelligent Key from unauthorized
use to unlock the vehicle. For
information regarding the eras-
ing procedure, it is recommended
you visit a NISSAN dealer.
