NISSAN PATHFINDER 2002 R50 / 2.G Owners Manual

You can only drive your vehicle using the
master keys which are registered to the Nissan
Vehicle Immobilizer System components in
your vehicle. These keys have a transponder
chip in the key head.
The keys can be used for the door, back door
or glove box locks.
Never leave these keys in the vehicle.
Record the key number on the key number
plate supplied with your keys and keep it in a
safe place (such as your wallet), not in the
vehicle. NISSAN does not record any key
number 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 your NISSAN dealer.
Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System keys:
The key number is necessary when you need
extra Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System
keys. As many as 5 Nissan Vehicle Immobi-
lizer System keys can be used with one ve-
hicle. New keys must be registered to the
Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System compo-
nents in your vehicle by your NISSAN dealer.
At this time, you should bring all Nissan Ve-
hicle Immobilizer System keys that you have to
your NISSAN dealer for registration. This is
because the registration process will erase all
memory of the Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer
System components.
WARNING
IAlways 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 unintention-
ally opening the doors, and will help
keep out intruders.
IBefore opening any door, always look
for and avoid oncoming traffic.
IDo not leave children unattended in-
side the vehicle. They could unknow-
ingly activate switches or controls.
Unattended children could become
involved in serious accidents.

It is possible to lock/unlock all doors and
activate the panic alarm by using the keyfob
from outside the vehicle.
Before locking the doors, make sure the
key is not left in the vehicle.
The keyfob can operate at a distance of ap-
proximately 33 ft (10 m) from the vehicle. (The
effective distance depends upon the condi-
tions around the vehicle.)
As many as four keyfobs can be used with one
vehicle. For information concerning the pur-
chase and use of additional keyfobs, contact
your NISSAN dealer.
The keyfob will not function when:
Ithe battery is dead,
Ithe distance between the vehicle and the
keyfob is over 33 ft (10 m).
The panic alarm will not activate when the
key is in the ignition switch.
CAUTION
The following conditions or occurrences
will damage the keyfob.
IDo not allow the keyfob to become
wet.IDo not drop the keyfob.

against another object.
IDo not place the keyfob for an ex-
tended period in an area where tem-
peratures exceed 140ÉF (60ÉC).
If a keyfob is lost or stolen, NISSAN
recommends erasing the ID code of that

from unauthorized use to unlock the
vehicle. For information regarding the
erasing procedure, please contact an
authorized NISSAN dealer.
