WARNING
∙ Radio waves could adversely affectelectric medical equipment. Those
who use a pacemaker should contact
the electric medical equipment
manufacturer for the possible influ-
ences before use.
∙ The remote keyless entry key fob transmits radio waves when the but-
tons are pressed. The FAA advises ra-
dio waves may affect aircraf t naviga-
tion and communication systems. Do
not operate the remote keyless entry
key fob while on an airplane. Make
sure the buttons are not operated un-
intentionally when the unit is stored
for a flight.
It is possible to lock/unlock all doors, turn
the interior light on, 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 infor-
mation, refer to “Silencing the horn beep
feature” in this section.
Be sure to remove the key from the ve-
hicle before locking the doors. The key fob can operate at a distance of
approximately 33 f t (10 m) from the vehicle.
The effective distance depends upon the
conditions 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, it is recommended that you visit 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 f t (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 modif y 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
personal 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, it is recommended
that you visit a NISSAN dealer.
REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM
Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-9

ard warning lights will not flash.
The horn may or may not beep. For addi-
tional information, refer to “Silencing the

3-10Pre-driving checks and adjustments

To turn the system off, the ignition must be
ON and the shif t 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 (lo-
cated on the bumper fascia) free from
snow, ice and large accumulations of dirt
(do not clean the sensors with sharp ob-
jects). If the sensors are covered, it will af-
fect 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 in-
serting it into the key hole or use the re-
mote keyless entry key fob (if so equipped).
ANTIFREEZE
In the winter when it is anticipated that the
temperature will drop below 32°F (0°C),
check the antifreeze to assure proper win-
ter protection. For additional information,
refer to “Engine cooling system” in the “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 maximum efficiency,
the battery should be checked regularly.
For additional information, refer to “Battery”
in the “Do-it-yourself ” section of this
manual.
DRAINING OF COOLANT WATER
If the vehicle is to be lef t outside without
anti-freeze, drain the cooling system, in-
cluding the engine block. Refill before oper-
ating the vehicle. For additional informa-
tion, refer to “Changing engine coolant” in
the “Do-it-yourself ” section of this manual.
TIRE EQUIPMENT
1. SUMMER tires have a tread designed toprovide superior performance on dry
pavement. However, the performance
of these tires will be substantially re-
duced in snowy and icy conditions. If
you operate your vehicle on snowy or
icy roads, NISSAN recommends the use
of MUD & SNOW or ALL SEASON TIRES
on all four wheels. It is recommended
that you visit a NISSAN dealer for the tire
type, size, speed rating and availability
information.
2. For additional traction on icy roads, studded tires may be used. However,
some U.S. states and Canadian prov-
inces prohibit their use. Check local,
state and provincial laws before install-
ing studded tires.
