Lockout protection
When the power door lock switch (driver’s
or front passenger’s side) is moved to the
lock position with the key in the ignition
switch while any door is open, all doors will
lock and then unlock automatically. This
helps to prevent the keys from being acci-
dently locked inside the vehicle.
AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS (if so
equipped)
∙ All doors lock automatically when thevehicle speed reaches 15 mph
(24 km/h).
∙ Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) (if so equipped)
– All doors unlock automatically when the transmission is placed in the P
(Park) position.
∙ Manual transmission (if so equipped) – All doors unlock automatically whenthe ignition is placed in the off posi-
tion.
CHILD SAFETY REAR DOOR LOCK
Child safety locks help prevent the rear
doors from being opened accidentally, es-
pecially when small children are in the ve-
hicle.
The child safety lock levers are located on
the edge of the rear doors.
When the lever is in the unlock position
2,
the door can be opened from the outside
or the inside.
When the lever is in the LOCK position
1,
the door can be opened only from the
outside.
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 (if so equipped), and
activate the panic alarm (if so equipped) 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.

REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM (if
so equipped)
3-6Pre-driving checks and adjustments

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 may not function when:∙ The battery is low or discharged.
∙ The distance between the vehicle and the key fob is over 33 f t (10 m).
The panic alarm (if so equipped) 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.
HOW TO USE REMOTE KEYLESS
ENTRY SYSTEM

1. Close all windows.
2. Remove the key from the ignition switch.
3. Close all doors.
4. Press the
button on the key fob.
All the doors lock. The hazard warning
lights flash twice and the horn beeps
once to indicate all doors are locked.
LPD2028
Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-7

WARNING
∙ The VDC system is designed to helpthe 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.
