1. Two master keys with transponder chipand chrome NISSAN brand symbol on
one side
2. Transponder chip
3. Key number plate
A key number plate is supplied with your
keys. Record the key number and keep the
plate in a safe place (such as your wallet),
not in the vehicle. If you lose your keys, it is
recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for duplicates by using the key num-
ber. NISSAN does not record 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 your keys. If you still have a key,
it can duplicated without knowing the key
number.
NISSAN VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER
SYSTEM KEYS (if so equipped)
You can only drive your vehicle using the
master key which is registered to the
NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System com-
ponents in your vehicle. This key has a tran-
sponder chip in the key head.
The master key can be used for all the
locks.
Never leave these keys in the vehicle.
Additional or replacement keys:
If you still have a key, the key number is not
necessary when you need extra NISSAN
Vehicle Immobilizer System keys. A NISSAN
dealer can duplicate your existing key. As
many as five NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer
System keys can be used with one vehicle.
You should bring all NISSAN Vehicle Immo-
bilizer System keys that you have to the
NISSAN dealer for registration. This is be-
cause the registration process will erase
the memory of all key codes previously reg-
istered into the NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer
System. Af ter the registration process,
these components will only recognize keys
coded into the NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer
System during registration. Any key that is
not given to the dealer at the time of regis-
tration will no longer be able to start your
vehicle.CAUTION
Do not allow the immobilizer system
key, which contains an electrical tran-
sponder, to come into contact with wa-
ter or salt water. This could affect sys-
tem function.

following methods, the doors cannot be
opened using the inside or outside door
handles. The doors must be unlocked to

children and others from unintention-
ally opening the doors, and will help
keep out intruders.

assistance of others and/or pets un-
attended in your vehicle. Additionally,

hicle on a warm day can quickly be-
come high enough to cause a signifi-
cant risk of injury or death to people
