● Do not attach the Intelligent Key with a
key holder that contains a magnet.
● Do not place the Intelligent Key near
equipment that produces a magnetic
field, such as a TV, audio equipment and
personal computers.
If an Intelligent Key is lost or stolen, NISSAN
recommends erasing the ID code of that Intelli-
gent Key from the vehicle. This may prevent the

NISSAN VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER
SYSTEM KEYS
You can only drive your vehicle using the master
or valet 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 master key can be used for all the locks.
To protect your belongings when you leave a key
with someone, give them the Intelligent Key only,
not the mechanical key.
Never leave these keys in the vehicle.
Additional or replacement keys:
If you still have a key, the key number is not
necessary when you need extra NISSAN Vehicle
Immobilizer System keys. Your existing key can
be duplicated without knowing the key number.
As many as four NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer
System keys can be used with one vehicle. You
should bring all NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer Sys-
tem keys that you have to the NISSAN dealer for
registration. This is because the registration pro-
cess will erase the memory of all key codes
previously registered into the NISSAN Vehicle
Immobilizer System. After the registration pro-
cess, these components will only recognize keys
coded into the NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer Sys- tem during registration. Any key that is not given
to the dealer at the time of registration will no
longer be able to start your vehicle.

In such cases, correct the operating conditions
before using the Intelligent Key function or use
the mechanical key.
Although the life of the battery varies depending
on the operating conditions, the battery’s life is
approximately two years. If the battery is dis-
charged, replace it with a new one.
When the Intelligent Key battery is low, an indi-
cator illuminates in the vehicle information dis-
play. For additional information, refer to “Vehicle
information display” in the “Instruments and con-
trols” section of this manual.
Since the Intelligent Key is continuously receiving
radio waves, if the key is left near equipment
which transmits strong radio waves, such as sig-
nals from a TV and personal computer, the bat-
tery life may become shorter.
For additional information, refer to “Battery re-
placement” in the “Do-it-yourself” section of this
manual.
As many as four Intelligent Keys can be regis-
tered and used with one vehicle. For information
about the purchase and use of additional Intelli-
gent Keys, it is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer.

NOTE:● Request switches for all doors and lift-
gate can be deactivated when the I-Key
Door Lock setting is switched to OFF in
the vehicle settings of the vehicle infor-
mation display. For additional informa-
tion, refer to “Vehicle information dis-
play” in the “Instruments and controls”
section of this manual.
● Doors lock with the door handle re-
quest switch while the ignition switch
is not in the LOCK position. ●
Doors do not lock by pushing the door
handle request switch while any door is
open. However, doors lock with the
mechanical key even if any door is
open.
● Doors do not lock with the door handle
request switch with the Intelligent Key

warn you. However, when an Intelligent
Key is inside the vehicle, doors can be

HOW TO USE THE REMOTE
KEYLESS ENTRY FUNCTION
The remote keyless entry function can operate all
door locks using the remote keyless function of
the Intelligent Key. The remote keyless function
can operate at a distance of 33 ft (10 m) away
from the vehicle. The operating distance de-
pends upon the conditions around the vehicle.
The remote keyless entry function will not func-
tion under the following conditions:● When the Intelligent Key is not within the
operational range.
● When the doors or the rear liftgate are open
or not closed securely.
● When the Intelligent Key battery is dis-
charged.

Power Close:
The power liftgate automatically moves from the
fully open position to the secondary position.
When the liftgate reaches the secondary posi-
tion, the cinching motor engages and pulls the
liftgate to its primary latch position. Power close
takes approximately7–10seconds. The power
close feature can be activated by the switch on
the key fob, the instrument panel or the liftgate
switch
B. A chime sounds to indicate the power
close sequence has been started.
● If the liftgate opener switch
Ais activated
while the cinching motor is engaged, the
cinching motor will disengage and release
the latch. ●
The key fob button must be held for 0.5 sec-
onds before the liftgate closes.
● The switch on the liftgate
Bcan only be
used to close the liftgate if the power liftgate
main switch is in the ON position.
Stop - Reverse:
During an open/close movement, the liftgate can
be stopped, if the Intelligent Key, instrument
panel or liftgate switch (
AorB) is pressed. The
liftgate can be reversed if the Intelligent Key,
instrument panel or liftgate switch (
AorB)is
pressed again.
Auto Reverse:
If an obstacle is detected during power open or
power close, a warning chime will sound and the
liftgate will reverse direction and return to the full
open or full close position. If a second obstacle is
detected, the liftgate motion will stop and the
liftgate will enter manual mode.
A pinch strip is mounted on each side of the
liftgate. If an obstacle is detected by a pinch strip
during power close, the liftgate will reverse direc-
tion and return to the full open position. NOTE:
If the pinch strip is damaged or removed,
the power close function will not operate.
