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, see a GT-R certified
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, this key can be
duplicated by a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.

Intelligent Keys which are registered to your
vehicle’s Intelligent Key system components and
NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System compo-
nents. As many as 4 Intelligent Keys can be
registered and used with one vehicle. The new
keys must be registered by a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer prior to use with the Intelligent
Key system and NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer
System of your vehicle. Since the registration
process requires erasing all memory in the
Intelligent Key components when registeringnew keys, be sure to take all Intelligent Keys
that you have to a GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer.

WARNING
.Always have the doors locked while
driving. Along with the use of seat
belts, this provides greater 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
unintentionally opening the doors,
and will help keep out intruders.
. Before opening any door, always
look for and avoid oncoming traffic.
. Do not leave children unattended
inside the vehicle. They could un-
knowingly activate switches or con-
trols. Unattended children could
become involved in serious acci-
dents.
CAUTION
To prevent theft or accidents, be sure to
stop the engine and lock the doors
before stepping away from the vehicle.
NOTICE
When the battery cable is removed from
the battery terminal, do not close either
of the front doors. The automatic win-
dow adjusting function will not work,
and the side roof panel may be da-
maged. (
“Automatic adjusting
function” page 2-58)
NOTE:. The doors of this vehicle are somewhat
harder to close than those of an
ordinary vehicle (especially when the
vehicle is new) . This is because the
stiffness of the rubber has been in-
creased to improve the airtightness of
the vehicle interior during situations
such as higher speed driving. This does
not indicate that there is a malfunction.
. When the driver’s door is locked or
unlocked, the fuel-filler door is auto-
matically locked or unlocked at the
same time.
When the door is being opened, the window is
automatically lowered slightly to avoid contact
between the window and the side roof panel.
When the door is closed, the window is
automatically raised slightly. (

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
pushed. The Federal Aviation
Agency (FAA) advises the radio
waves may affect aircraft navigation
and communication systems. Do not
operate the Intelligent Key while on
an airplane. 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 controller function
or pushing the request switch on the vehicle
without taking the key out from a pocket or
purse. The operating environment and/or condi-
tions 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 vehi-
cle.
. Never leave the Intelligent Key in
the vehicle when you leave the
vehicle.
. The Intelligent Key is always communicating
with the vehicle as it receives radio waves.
The Intelligent Key system transmits weak
radio waves. Environmental conditions may
interfere with the operation of the Intelligent
Key system under the following operating
conditions. In such cases, correct the
operating conditions before using the In-
telligent Key function or use the mechanical
key.
— 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 telephone,
transceiver, 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 nearan electric appliance such as a personal
computer.
— When the vehicle is parked near a parking meter.
. 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. (
“INTELLIGENT KEY BATTERY
REPLACEMENT” page 8-23)
. 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.
. Because the steering wheel is locked
electrically, unlocking the steering wheel
with the ignition switch in the LOCK position
is impossible when the vehicle battery is
completely discharged. Pay special atten-
tion that the vehicle battery is not completely
discharged.
. Do not push the door handle request switch
with the Intelligent Key held in your hand.
The close distance to the door handle will
cause the Intelligent Key system to have
difficulty recognizing that the Intelligent Key
is outside the vehicle. .
After locking the doors, check that the doors
are securely locked by testing them.
. To prevent the Intelligent Key from being left
inside the vehicle, make sure you carry the
key with you and then lock the doors.
. To prevent the Intelligent Key from being left
inside the trunk, make sure you carry the key
with you and then close the trunk.
. Do not pull the door handle before pushing
the door handle request switch. The door
will be unlocked but will not open. Release
the door handle once and pull it again to
open the door.
INTELLIGENT KEY FUNCTIONSIt is possible to lock/unlock all doors, fuel-filler
door and trunk lid by pushing the request switch
on the outside door handles and the trunk lid.
Intelligent Key operating rangeThe Intelligent Key functions can only be used
when the Intelligent Key is within the specified
operating range from the request switch. The
operating range is within 31.50 in (80 cm) from
each request switch.NOTE:.When the Intelligent Key battery is
discharged or strong radio waves are
present near the operating location,
the Intelligent Key system’s operating
range becomes narrower, and the In-
telligent Key may not function properly.
. If the Intelligent Key is too close to the
door glass, handle or rear bumper, the
