WARNING
There are some small distances im-
mediately before the closed position
which cannot be detected. Make sure
that all passengers have their hands,
etc., inside the vehicle before closing
the window.
If the control unit detects something
caught in the window as it is closing, the
window will be immediately lowered.
The auto reverse function can be acti-
vated when the window is closed by
automatic operation when the ignition
switch is in the ON position or for 45
seconds after the ignition switch is placed
in the OFF position.
Depending on the environment or driv-
ing conditions, the auto reverse func-
tion may be activated if an impact or
load similar to something being caught
in the window occurs.
If the windows do not close auto-
matically
If the power window automatic function
(closing only) does not operate properly,
perform the following procedure to initi-
alize the power window system.
1. Start the engine.
2. Close the door.
3. After starting the engine, open the window completely by operating the
power window switch.
4. Pull the power window switch and hold it to close the window, and then
hold the switch more than 3 seconds
after the window is closed completely.
5. Release the power window switch. Operate the window by the automatic
function to confirm the initialization is
complete.
If the power window automatic function
does not operate properly after perform-
ing the procedure above, it is recom-
mended you have your vehicle checked
by a NISSAN dealer.

3-2Pre-driving checks and adjustments
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
recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer
for duplicates by using the key number.
NISSAN does not record any 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.

NISSAN VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER SYS-
TEM KEY (if so equipped)
Your vehicle can only be driven with the
master keys, which are registered to the
NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System com-
ponents. As many as 4 master keys can
be registered and used with one vehicle.
The new keys must be registered by a
NISSAN dealer prior to use with the
master of your vehicle. Since the registra-
tion process requires erasing all memory
in the master components when register-
ing new keys, be sure to take all master
keys that you have to the NISSAN dealer.
CAUTION
Do not allow the NISSAN Vehicle
Immobilizer System key, which con-
tains an electrical transponder, to
come into contact with water or salt
water. This could affect the system

INTELLIGENT KEY (if so equipped)
Your vehicle can only be driven with the
Intelligent Keys which are registered to
your vehicle’s Intelligent Key system com-
ponents and NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer
System components. As many as 4 In-
telligent Keys can be registered and used
with one vehicle. The new keys must be
registered by a NISSAN dealer prior to use
with the Intelligent Key system and
NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System of
your vehicle. Since the registration pro-
cess requires erasing all memory in the
Intelligent Key components when regis-
tering new keys, be sure to take all
Intelligent Keys that you have to the
NISSAN dealer.
CAUTION
. Be sure to carry the Intelligent
Key with you when driving. The
Intelligent Key is a precision de-
vice with a built-in transmitter. To
avoid damaging it, please note
the following.
Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-3

3-4Pre-driving checks and adjustments
— The Intelligent Key is waterresistant; however, wetting
may damage the Intelligent
Key. If the Intelligent Key gets
wet, immediately wipe until it
is completely dry.
— Do not bend, drop or strike it against another object.
— If the outside temperature is below 14°F (-10°C) degrees, the
battery of the Intelligent Key
may not function properly.
— Do not place the Intelligent Key for an extended period in
a place where temperatures
exceed 140°F (60°C).
— Do not change or modify the Intelligent Key.
— Do not use a magnet key holder.
— Do not place the Intelligent Key near an electric appliance
such as a television set, per-
sonal computer or cellular
phone.
— Do not allow the Intelligent Key to come into contact with
water or salt water, and do
not wash it in a washing machine. This could affect
the system function.
. If an Intelligent Key is lost or
stolen, NISSAN recommends

ligent Key. This will prevent the
Intelligent Key from unauthorized
use to unlock the vehicle. For
information regarding the eras-
ing procedure, it is recommended
you visit a NISSAN dealer.

Mechanical key
To remove the mechanical key, release
the lock knob at the back of the Intelli-
gent 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. (See “Doors” (P.3-5).)

CAUTION

WARNING
.Always have the doors locked
while driving. Along with the use
of seat belts, this provides great-
er 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 unin-
tentionally 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 opera-
tion of the vehicle and or its
systems, including entrapment
in windows or inadvertent door
lock activation, do not leave chil-
dren, people who require the
assistance of others or pets un-
attended in your vehicle. Addi-
tionally, the temperature 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.
