1. Master keys*
2. Valet key*
3. Key number plate
(* With built-in transponder chip)
You can only drive your vehicle using the master
or valet keys which are registered to the NISSAN
Vehicle Immobilizer System (NVIS) components
in your vehicle. These keys have a transponder
chip in the key head.
The master key can be used for all the locks.
The valet key cannot be used for the rear floor
box lock. To protect belongings when you leave
a key with someone, give them the valet key only.Never leave these keys in the vehicle.
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.
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 NISSAN dealer.
NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System (NVIS)
KEY - Master and Valet keys:
As many as 5 keys can be used with one vehicle.
New keys must be registered to the NVIS com-
ponents in your vehicle by a NISSAN dealer. At
this time, you should bring all NVIS keys that you
have to a NISSAN dealer for registration. This is
because the registration process will erase all
memory of the NVIS components.
CAUTION
Do not allow the NVIS key, which con-
tains an electrical transponder, to come
in contact with salt water. This could
cause the system to malfunction.
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 uninten-
tionally 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 in-
side the vehicle. They could unknow-
ingly activate switches or controls.
Unattended children could become
involved in serious accidents.

mately 33 ft (10 m) from the vehicle. (The
effective distance depends upon the conditions
around the vehicle.)

vehicle. For information concerning the purchase
and use of additional keyfobs, contact a NISSAN
dealer.
The keyfobwill not function when:
