3-8Pre-driving checks and adjustments
It is possible to lock/unlock all doors (including
the liftgate) , and activate the panic alarm by
using the key fob from outside the vehicle.
Before locking the doors, make sure the
key is not left in the vehicle.
The key fob can operate at a distance of
approximately 33 ft (10 m) from the vehicle.
(The effective distance depends upon the
conditions around the vehicle.)
As many as 4 key fobs can be used with one
vehicle. For information concerning the pur-
chase and use of additional key fobs, contact a
NISSAN dealer.
The key fob will not function:
.When the key fob is not within the opera-
tional range.
.When the doors are open or not closed
securely.
.When the key is in the ignition switch.
.When the battery is discharged.
WARNING
The remote keyless entry key fob trans-
mits radio waves when the buttons are
pushed. The FAA advises that the radio
waves may affect aircraft navigation
and communication systems. Do notoperate the key fob while on an air-
plane. Make sure the buttons are not
operated unintentionally when the unit
is stored during a flight.
CAUTION
The following conditions or occur-
rences will damage the key fob.
.Do not allow the key fob to become
wet.
.Do not drop the key fob.
.Do not strike the key fob sharply
against another object.

When performing any inspection or mainte-
nance work on your vehicle, always take care
to prevent serious accidental injury to yourself or
damage to the vehicle. The following are general
precautions which should be closely observed.
WARNING
.Park the vehicle on a level surface,
apply the parking brake securely
and block the wheels to prevent
the vehicle from moving. Move the
shift lever to the P (Park) position
(CVT model) or the shift lever to the
N (Neutral) position (MT model) .
.Be sure the ignition switch is in the
OFF or LOCK position when per-
forming any parts replacement or
repairs.
.If you must work with the engine
running, keep your hands, clothing,
hair and tools away from moving
fans, belts and any other moving
parts.
.It is advisable to secure or remove
any loose clothing and remove any
jewelry, such as rings, watches, etc.
before working on your vehicle..Always wear eye protection when-
ever you work on your vehicle.
.If you must run the engine in an
enclosed space such as a garage, be
sure there is proper ventilation for
exhaust gases to escape.
.Never get under the vehicle while it
is supported only by a jack. If it is
necessary to work under the vehicle,
support it with safety stands.
.Because the fuel lines are under
high pressure even when the engine
is off, it is recommended you visit a
NISSAN dealer for service of the
fuel filter or fuel lines.
.Do not work under the hood while
the engine is hot. Always turn off
the engine and wait until it cools
down.
.If you must work with the engine
running, keep your hands, clothing,
hair and tools away from moving
fans, belts and any other moving
parts.
.Keep smoking materials, flame and
sparks away from fuel and the
battery..On gasoline engine models with the
Multiport Fuel Injection (MFI) sys-
tem, the fuel filter and fuel lines
should be serviced because the fuel
lines are under high pressure even
when the engine is turned off. It is
recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service.
.Your vehicle is equipped with an
automatic engine cooling fan. It may
come on at any time without warn-
ing, even if the ignition switch is in
the OFF position and the engine is
not running. To avoid injury, always
disconnect the negative battery
cable before working near the fan.
.Avoid direct contact with used en-
gine oil and coolant. Improperly
disposed engine oil, engine coolant,
and/or other vehicle fluids can hurt
the environment. Always conform to
local regulations for disposal of
vehicle fluids.
