NISSAN INTELLIGENT KEY® SYSTEM
3-6Pre-driving checks and adjustments

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
NISSAN Intelligent Key® warning light (if so
equipped) will blink green for about 30 sec-
onds af ter the ignition switch is placed in
the ON position.
Since the Intelligent Key is continuously 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.
When the battery is discharged, firmly ap-
ply the foot brake and touch the ignition
switch with the Intelligent Key. Then push
the ignition switch while depressing the
brake pedal within 10 seconds af ter the
chime sound. For additional information,
see “Push-button ignition switch” (P. 5-11).
For additional information, see “Battery re-
placement” (P. 8-22).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.

Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-7

When the Intelligent Key battery is dis-
charged or strong radio waves are present
near the operating location, the Intelligent
Key operating range becomes narrower,
and the Intelligent Key may not function

When the Intelligent Key is within the oper-
ating range, it is possible for anyone, even

gent Key, to push the request switch (if so
equipped) to lock/unlock the doors.
