WARNING
.Radio waves could adversely af-
fect electric medical equipment.
Those who use a pacemaker
should contact the electric med-
ical equipment manufacturer for
the possible influences before
use.
. The Intelligent Key transmits
radio waves when the buttons
are pushed. The FAA advises that
the radio waves may affect air-
craft navigation and communica-
tion systems. Do not operate the
Intelligent Key while on an air-
plane. Make sure the buttons are
not operated unintentionally
when the unit is stored during a
flight.
The Intelligent Key system can operate all
the door locks using the remote control-
ler function or pushing the request switch
on the vehicle without taking the key out
from a pocket or purse. The operating
environment and/or conditions may af-
fect the Intelligent Key system operation.
Be sure to read the following before using
the Intelligent Key system.
CAUTION
. Be sure to carry the Intelligent
Key with you when operating the
vehicle.
. Never leave the Intelligent Key in
the vehicle when you leave the
vehicle.
The Intelligent Key is always communi-
cating with the vehicle as it receives radio
waves. The Intelligent Key system trans-
mits weak radio waves. Environmental
conditions may interfere with the opera-
tion of the Intelligent Key system under
the following operating conditions.
. When operating near a location where
strong radio waves are transmitted,
such as a TV tower, power station and
broadcasting station.
. When in possession of wireless equip-
ment, such as a cellular telephone,
transceiver, and CB radio.
. When the Intelligent Key is in contact
with or covered by metallic materials.
. When any type of radio wave remote
control is used nearby.
. When the Intelligent Key is placed near
an electric appliance such as a perso-
nal computer. .
When the vehicle is parked near a
parking meter.
In such cases, correct the operating
conditions before using the Intelligent
Key function or use the mechanical key.
Although the life of the battery varies
depending on the operating conditions,
the battery’s life is approximately 2 years.
If the battery is discharged, replace it with
a new one.
Since the Intelligent Key is continuously
receiving radio waves, if the key is left
near equipment which transmits strong
radio waves, such as signals from a TV
and personal computer, the battery life
may become shorter.
For information regarding replacement of
a battery, see “Intelligent Key battery
replacement” (P.8-21).
As many as 4 Intelligent Keys can be
registered and used with one vehicle. For
information about the purchase and use
of additional Intelligent Keys, contact a
NISSAN dealer.
CAUTION
. Do not allow the Intelligent Key,
which contains electrical compo-
nents, to come into contact with
water or salt water. This could

INTELLIGENT KEY SYSTEM

SPA2074
INTELLIGENT KEY OPERATING
RANGE
The Intelligent Key functions can only be
used when the Intelligent Key is within
the specified operating range from the
request switch
.
When the Intelligent Key battery is dis-
charged or strong radio waves are pre-
sent near the operating location, the
Intelligent Key system’s operating range
becomes narrower, and the Intelligent
Key may not function properly.
The operating range is within 31.50 in (80
cm) from each request switch
.
If the Intelligent Key is too close to the door glass, handle or rear bumper the
request switches may not function.
When the Intelligent Key is within the
operating range, it is possible for anyone
who does not carry the Intelligent Key to
push the request switch to lock/unlock
the doors.
SPA2326
DOOR LOCKS/UNLOCKS PRECAU-
TION
.
Do not push the door handle request
switch with the Intelligent Key held in
your hand as illustrated. The close
distance to the door handle will cause
the Intelligent Key system to have
difficulty recognizing that the Intelli-
gent Key is outside the vehicle.
. After locking with the door handle
request switch, verify the doors are
securely locked by testing them.
. To prevent the Intelligent Key from
being left inside the vehicle, make sure
you carry the key with you and then
lock the doors.
Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-9

WARNING
To avoid risk of injury or death, do
not use the remote engine start
function when the vehicle is in an
enclosed area such as a garage.
JVP0445X
The remote engine startbutton is on
the Intelligent Key if the vehicle has
remote engine start function. This func-
tion allows the engine to start from
outside the vehicle.
Some systems, such as the air conditioner
system, will turn on during a remote
engine start, if the system was on the
last time the ignition switch was turned
off.
Laws in some local communities may
restrict the use of remote engine starters.
For example, some laws require a person
using remote engine start to have the
vehicle in view. Check local regulations for
any requirements. Other conditions may affect the remote
engine start function. See “Conditions the
remote engine start will not work” (P.3-
20).
Other conditions can affect the perfor-
mance of the Intelligent Key transmitter.
See “Intelligent Key system” (P.3-7) for
additional information.
REMOTE ENGINE START OPERATING
RANGE
The remote engine start function can
only be used when the Intelligent Key is
within the specified operating range from
the vehicle.
When the Intelligent Key battery is dis-
charged or other strong radio wave
sources are present near the operating
location, the Intelligent Key operating
range becomes narrower, and the Intelli-
gent Key may not function properly.
The remote engine start operating range
is approximately 197 ft (60 m) from the
vehicle.
REMOTE STARTING THE ENGINE
To use the remote start function to start
the engine, perform the following:
1. Aim the Intelligent Key at the vehicle.
2. Push the “LOCK”
button to lock all
doors.

death through unintended opera-
tion of the vehicle and/or its
systems, do not leave children,
people who require the assis-
tance of others or pets unat-
tended in your vehicle.
Additionally, the temperature in-
side 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.
PARKING BRAKE

WARNING
Always follow the instructions below.
Failure to do so could result in
damage to the charging system and
cause personal injury.
1. Remove the engine compartment cover, if necessary. See “Engine com-
partment check locations” (P.8-3).
2. If the booster battery is in another vehicle
, position the two vehicles (and) to bring their batteries into
close proximity to each other. Do not allow the two vehicles to
touch.
3. Apply parking brake. Move the shift lever to the P (Park) position. Switch
off all unnecessary electrical systems
(light, heater, air conditioner, etc.).
4. Remove vent caps on the battery (if so equipped). Cover the battery with a
firmly wrung out moist cloth
to
reduce explosion hazard.
5. Connect jumper cables in the se- quence as illustrated (
???).
CAUTION
.Always connect positive (+) to
positive (+) and negative (−) to
body ground (as illustrated) —
not to the battery.
. Make sure the jumper cables do
not touch moving parts in the
engine compartment and that
clamps do not contact any other
metal.
6. Start the engine of the booster vehicle
and let it run for a few minutes.
7. Keep the engine speed of the booster vehicle
at about 2,000 rpm, and
start the engine of the vehicle being
jump started
.
CAUTION
Do not keep the starter motor en-
gaged for more than 10 seconds. If
