2020 NISSAN PATHFINDER door lock

The Rear Door Alert system functions un-
der certain conditions to indicate there
may be an object or passenger in the rear
seat(s). Check the seat(s) before exiting the
vehicle.
The Rear Door Alert system is initially dis-
abled. The driver can enable the system
using the vehicle information display. For
additional information, refer to “Vehicle in-
formation display warnings and indicators”
in this section.
When the system is enabled:∙ The system is activated when a rear door is opened and closed within
10 minutes of the vehicle being driven.
When the driver door is closed and the
system is activated, a visual message
appears in the vehicle information dis-
play. For additional information, refer to
“Rear Door Alert is activated” in this sec-
tion.
∙ If a rear door is opened and closed but the vehicle is not driven within approxi-
mately 10 minutes, the system will not
be activated. A rear door must be
opened and closed and the car driven
within 10 minutes for the system to ac-
tivate. When the Rear Door Alert system is acti-
vated:
∙ When the driver puts the vehicle in the P (Park) position, a notification message
appears in the vehicle information dis-
play with the options to “Dismiss Mes-
sage” or “Disable Alert” if desired.
∙ Select “Disable Alert” to temporarily disable for that stop.
∙ No selection or ‘Dismiss Message” will keep the alert enabled for that stop.
∙ If the alert is enabled when a driver exits the vehicle, a message will appear in the
vehicle information display that states
“Check Back Seat For All Articles.”
If “Horn & Alert” setting is selected:
∙ An audible horn sound will occur af- ter a short time unless a rear door is
opened and closed within a short
time to deactivate the alert.
∙ If the doors are locked before the alert is deactivated by opening a rear
door, the horn will sound.
∙ If the trunk is opened before a rear door is opened, the horn will be de-
layed until af ter the trunk is closed. NOTE:
If “Alert Only ” setting is selected, the
message alert will still be shown in the
vehicle information display but the horn
will not sound.
WARNING
∙ If the driver selects “Disable Alert”, no
audible alert will be provided regard-
less of rear door open/close status.
∙ There may be times when there is an object or passenger in the rear seat(s)
but the audible alert does not sound.
For example, this may occur if rear
seat passengers enter or exit the ve-
hicle during a trip.
∙ The system does not directly detect objects or passengers in the rear
seat(s). Instead, it can detect when a
rear door is opened and closed, indi-
cating that there may be something in
the rear seat(s).

tion process requires erasing all memory in
the Intelligent Key components when reg-
istering new keys, be sure to take all Intelli-
gent Keys that you have to the NISSAN
dealer.
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 keys and do not have one to
duplicate from. If you still have a key, it can
be duplicated without knowing the key
number.
CAUTION
Listed below are conditions or occur-
rences which will damage the Intelli-
gent Key:
∙ Do not allow the Intelligent Key, whichcontains electrical components, to
come into contact with water or salt
water. This could affect the system
function. ∙ Do not drop the Intelligent Key.
∙ Do not strike the Intelligent Key
sharply against another object.
∙ Do not change or modif y the Intelli- gent Key.
∙ Wetting may damage the Intelligent Key. If the Intelligent Key gets wet, im-
mediately wipe until it is completely
dry.
∙ Do not place the Intelligent Key for an extended period in an area where
temperatures exceed 140°F (60°C).
∙ Do not attach the Intelligent Key with a key holder that contains a magnet.
∙ Do not place the Intelligent Key near equipment that produces a magnetic
field, such as a TV, audio equipment
and personal computers.
If an Intelligent Key is lost or stolen, NISSAN
recommends erasing the ID code of that
Intelligent Key from the vehicle. This may
prevent the unauthorized use of the Intelli-
gent Key to operate the vehicle. For infor-
mation regarding the erasing procedure, it
is recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer.
Mechanical key
The Intelligent Key contains the mechani-
cal key.
To remove the mechanical key, release the
lock knob on the back of the Intelligent Key.
To install the mechanical key, firmly insert it
into the Intelligent Key until the lock knob
returns to the lock position.
Use the mechanical key to lock or unlock
the driver’s door and glove box.

Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-3

CAUTION
Always carry the mechanical key in-
stalled in the Intelligent Key slot.
For additional information, refer to “Doors”
in this section and “Storage” in the “Instru-
ments and controls” section of this manual.
Valet hand-off
When you have to leave a key with a valet,
give them the Intelligent Key itself and keep
the mechanical key with you to protect
your belongings.
To prevent the glove box from being
opened during valet hand-off, follow the
procedure below. 1. Remove the mechanical key from the Intelligent Key.
2. Lock the glove box with the mechani- cal key.
3. Hand the Intelligent Key to the valet and keep the mechanical key with you.
For additional information, refer to “Stor-
age” in the “Instruments and controls” sec-
tion of this manual.
NISSAN VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER
SYSTEM KEYS
You can only drive your vehicle using the
master or valet keys which are registered
to the NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System
components in your vehicle. These keys
have a transponder chip in the key head.
The master key can be used for all the
locks.
To protect your belongings when you leave
a key with someone, give them the Intelli-
gent Key only, not the mechanical key.
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. Your ex-
isting key can be duplicated without know-
ing the key number. As many as four
NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System keys
can be used with one vehicle. You should
bring all NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer Sys-
tem keys that you have to the NISSAN
dealer for registration. This is because the
registration process will erase the memory
of all key codes previously registered into
the NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System. Af- ter the registration process, these compo-
nents 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 registra-
tion 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.
3-4Pre-driving checks and adjustments

When the doors are locked using one of the
following methods, the front doors cannot
be opened using the outside door handles,
and the back doors cannot be opened us-
ing the inside or outside door handles. The
doors must be unlocked to open the doors.
WARNING
∙ Always have the doors locked whiledriving. Along with the use of seat
belts, this provides greater safety in
the event of an accident by helping to
prevent persons from being thrown
from the vehicle. This also helps keep
children and others from unintention-
ally opening the doors, and will help
keep out intruders.
∙ Before opening any door, always look for and avoid oncoming traffic. ∙ To help avoid risk of injury or death
through unintended operation of the
vehicle and/or its systems, including
entrapment in windows or inadver-
tent door lock activation, do not leave
children, people who require the as-
sistance of others or pets unattended
in your vehicle. Additionally, the tem-
perature inside 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.
LOCKING WITH KEY
To lock the door using the mechanical key,
turn the key toward the front of the vehicle
1. This will only lock the corresponding
door and will not activate the security sys-
tem. To arm the security system, press
the
button on the Intelligent Key.
To unlock the corresponding door using
the mechanical key, turn the key toward
the rear of the vehicle. This will only unlock
the corresponding door and will not dis-
arm the security system.
