3-8Pre-driving checks and adjustments
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 phone, trans-
ceiver, 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.
When the Intelligent Key battery is low, an
indicator illuminates in the vehicle infor-
mation display. (See “4. Key Battery Low
warning” (P.2-34).)
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.8-20).
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, it is recom-
mended that you contact a NISSAN deal-
er.
CAUTION
. Do not allow the Intelligent Key,
which contains electrical compo-
nents, 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 modify the
Intelligent Key.
. Wetting may damage the Intelli-
gent Key. If the Intelligent Key
gets wet, immediately wipe until
it is completely dry.
. If the outside temperature is be-
low 14°F (−10°C) degrees, the bat-
tery of the Intelligent Key may not
function properly.
. 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, personal com-
puters, cellular phone or wireless
charger.
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 Intelligent Key to operate the vehicle.
For information regarding the erasing
procedure, it is recommended that you
contact a NISSAN dealer.
For models with request switch: The
Intelligent Key function can be disabled.
For information about disabling the In-
telligent Key function, it is recommended
that you contact a NISSAN dealer.

INTELLIGENT KEY OPERATING
RANGE (models with request
switch)
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 including the liftgate.
Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-9
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Other conditions may affect the remote
engine start function. See “Conditions the
remote engine start will not work” (P.3-21).
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. If the doors are unlocked, push theLOCK
button to lock all doors.
2. Aim the Intelligent Key at the vehicle. 3. Push the LOCK
button again.
4. Within 5 seconds push and hold the remote engine start
button until
the turn signal lights flash and the tail
lights illuminate. If the vehicle is not
within view, push and hold the remote
engine start
button for at least 2
seconds.
The following events will occur when the
engine starts:
. The front parking lights will turn on
and remain on as long as the engine is
running.
. The doors will be locked and the air
conditioner system may turn on.
. The engine will continue to run for
about 10 minutes. Repeat the steps to
extend the time for an additional 10
minutes. See “Extending engine run
time” (P.3-20).
Depress and hold the brake pedal, then
place the ignition switch in the ON posi-
tion before driving. For further instruc-
tions, see “Driving the vehicle” (P.5-19).
EXTENDING ENGINE RUN TIME
The remote engine start function can be
extended one time by performing the
steps listed in “Remote starting the en-
gine” (P.3-20). Run time will be calculated
as follows:
. The first 10 minute run time will start
when the remote engine start func-
tion is performed.
. The second 10 minutes will start im-
mediately when the remote engine
start function is performed. For exam-
ple, if the engine has been running for
5 minutes, and 10 minutes are added,
the engine will run for a total of 15
minutes.
. Extending engine run time will count
towards the two remote engine start
limit.
A maximum of two remote engine starts,
or a single start with an extension can be
used.
The vehicle needs to be driven at speeds
of 4 MPH (7 km/h) before the remote
engine start procedure can be used
again.
5-14Starting and driving
(AWD models).WARNING
Do not operate the push-button
ignition switch while driving the ve-
hicle except in an emergency. (The
engine will stop when the ignition
switch is pushed 3 consecutive times
or the ignition switch is pushed and
held for more than 2 seconds.) If the
engine stops while the vehicle is
being driven, this could lead to a
crash and serious injury.
Before operating the push-button igni-
tion switch, be sure to push the park
button to shift to the P (Park) position.

becomes narrower and may not function
properly.
If the Intelligent Key is within the operat-
ing range, it is possible for anyone, even
someone who does not carry the Intelli-
gent Key, to push the ignition switch to

This “8. Do-it-yourself” section gives in-
structions regarding only those items
which are relatively easy for an owner to
perform.
A genuine NISSAN Service Manual is also
available. (See “Owner’s manual/service
manual order information” (P.10-31).)
You should be aware that incomplete or
improper servicing may result in operat-
ing difficulties or excessive emissions, and
could affect your warranty coverage. If in
doubt about any servicing, it is recom-
mended you have it done by a NISSAN
dealer.
