A key number plate is supplied with your
keys. Record the key number and keep it
in a safe place (such as your wallet), not in
the vehicle. If you lose your keys, it is
recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer
for duplicates by using the key number.
NISSAN does not record any key numbers
so it is very important to keep track of
your key number plate.
A key number is only necessary when you
have lost all keys and do not have one to
duplicate from. If you still have a key, it
can be duplicated without knowing the
key number.

INTELLIGENT KEY
Your vehicle can only be driven with the
Intelligent Keys which are registered to
your vehicle’s Intelligent Key system com-
ponents and NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer
System components. As many as 4 In-
telligent Keys can be registered and used
with one vehicle. The new keys must be
registered by a NISSAN dealer prior to use
with the Intelligent Key system and
NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System of
your vehicle. Since the registration pro-
cess requires erasing all memory in theIntelligent Key components when regis-
tering new keys, be sure to take all
Intelligent Keys that you have to the
NISSAN dealer.
It is possible that the Intelligent Key
functions become canceled. Contact a
NISSAN dealer.
CAUTION
.
Be sure to carry the Intelligent
Key with you when driving. The
Intelligent Key is a precision de-
vice with a built-in transmitter. To
avoid damaging it, please note
the following.
— The Intelligent Key is water
resistant; however, wetting
may damage the Intelligent
Key. If the Intelligent Key gets
wet, immediately wipe until it
is completely dry.
— Do not bend, drop or strike it against another object.
— If the outside temperature is below 14°F (-10°C) degrees, the
battery of the Intelligent Key
may not function properly.
— Do not place the Intelligent Key for an extended period in
Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-3

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
erasing the ID code of that Intel-
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.

Mechanical key
To remove the mechanical key, release
the lock knob at the back of the Intelli-
gent Key.

it into the Intelligent Key until the lock
knob returns to the lock position.

the doors, and glove box.
See “Doors” (P.3-5) and “Storage” (P.2-43).
CAUTION
Always carry the mechanical key
installed in the Key.
VALET HAND-OFF
When you have to leave a key with a valet,
give them the Intelligent Key itself and
keep the mechanical key with you to
protect your belongings.
To prevent the glove box from being
opened during valet hand-off, follow the
procedures below.
1. Push the trunk release power cancel
switch to the OFF side (Roadster
models).
2. Remove the mechanical key from the Intelligent Key.
3. Lock the glove box with the mechan- ical key.

WARNING
.Always have the doors locked
while driving. Along with the use
of seat belts, this provides great-
er safety in the event of an
accident by helping to prevent
persons from being thrown from
the vehicle. This also helps keep
children and others from unin-
tentionally opening the doors,
and will help keep out intruders.
. Before opening any door, always
look for and avoid oncoming
traffic.
. To help avoid risk of injury or
death through unintended opera-
tion of the vehicle and or its
systems, including entrapment
in windows or inadvertent door
lock activation, do not leave chil-
dren, people who require the
assistance of others or pets un-
attended in your vehicle. Addi-
tionally, the temperature inside a
closed vehicle on a warm day can
quickly become high enough to
cause a significant risk of injury
or death to people and pets.
