1. Master key
2. Valet key
3. Key number plate
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 recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for
duplicates by using the key number.
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 be duplicated without knowing the
key number.

CAUTION
Do not leave the ignition key inside the
vehicle when you leave the vehicle.

WARNING
∙ Radio waves could adversely affect
electric 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 lights on, and activate the panic
alarm by using the key fob from outside the
vehicle.
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 on the
conditions around the vehicle.As many as four 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.

Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-7

WARNING
∙ The VDC system is designed to help
the driver maintain stability but does
not prevent accidents due to abrupt
steering operation at high speeds or
by careless or dangerous driving
techniques. Reduce vehicle speed and
be especially careful when driving and
cornering on slippery surfaces and al-
ways drive carefully.
∙ Do not modif y the vehicle’s suspen-
sion. If suspension parts such as
shock absorbers, struts, springs, sta-
bilizer bars, bushings and wheels are
not NISSAN recommended for your
vehicle or are extremely deteriorated,
the VDC system may not operate
properly. This could adversely affect
vehicle handling performance, and
the
indicator light may flash or
illuminate.
∙ If brake related parts such as brake
pads, rotors and calipers are not
NISSAN recommended or are ex-
tremely deteriorated, the VDC system
may not operate properly and
the
indicator light may
illuminate.∙ If engine control related parts are not
NISSAN recommended or are ex-
tremely deteriorated, the
indi-
cator light may illuminate.
∙ When driving on extremely inclined
surfaces such as higher banked cor-
ners, the VDC system may not operate
properly and the
indicator light
may flash or illuminate. Do not drive
on these types of roads.
∙ When driving on an unstable surface
such as a turntable, ferry, elevator or
ramp, the
indicator light may
flash or illuminate. This is not a mal-
function. Restart the engine af ter
driving onto a stable surface.
∙ If wheels or tires other than the
NISSAN recommended ones are used,
the VDC system may not operate
properly and the
indicator light
may flash or illuminate.
∙ The VDC system is not a substitute for
winter tires or tire chains on a snow
covered road.
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.
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.
