WARNING
• Radio waves could adversely affect
electric medical equipment. Those
who use a pacemaker should con-
tact the electric medical equipment
manufacturer for the possible influ-
ences before use.
• The Intelligent Key transmits radio
waves when the buttons are pressed.
The FAA advises the radio waves may
affect aircraf t navigation and com-
munication 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 for a flight.
The Intelligent Key system can operate all
the door locks using the remote control
function or pushing the request switch
(if so equipped) on the vehicle without tak-
ing the key out from a pocket or purse. The
operating environment and/or conditions
may affect 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 capable of receiving
and transmitting radio waves. The Intelli-
gent Key system transmits weak radio
waves from various distances. Environ-
mental conditions may interfere with the
operation of the Intelligent Key system un-
der the following operating conditions:
• When operating near a location where strong radio waves are transmitted, such
as a TV tower, power station and broad-
casting station.
• When in possession of wireless equip- ment, such as a cellular telephone, trans-
ceiver or a CB radio.
• When the Intelligent Key is in contact with or covered by metallic materials.
• When any type of radio wave remote con- trol is used nearby.
• When the Intelligent Key is placed near an electric appliance such as a personal
computer.
• When the vehicle is parked near a parking meter. In such cases, correct the operating condi-
tions before using the Intelligent Key func-
tion or use the mechanical key.
Although the life of the battery varies de-
pending on the operating conditions, the
battery’s life is approximately two years. If
the battery is discharged, replace it with a
new one.
When the Intelligent Key battery is low, the
“Key Battery Low” indicator illuminates in
the vehicle information display. For addi-
tional information, see “Vehicle information
display” (P. 2-22).
Since the Intelligent Key is capable of re-
ceiving radio waves, if the key is lef t near
equipment which transmits strong radio
waves, such as signals from a TV and per-
sonal computer, the battery life may be-
come shorter.
For additional information, see “Battery re-
placement” (P. 8-26).
Pay special attention that the vehicle bat-
tery is not completely discharged.
As many as four 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 visit a NISSAN dealer.
