NISSAN VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER
SYSTEM KEYS
You can only drive your vehicle using the master
keys which are registered to the NISSAN Vehicle
Immobilizer System components in your vehicle.
The master key can be used for all the locks.
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 dealer can dupli-
cate your existing key. This is because the regis-
tration process will erase the memory of all key
codes previously registered into the NISSAN Ve-
hicle Immobilizer System.
Do not allow the immobilizer system key, which
contains an electrical transponder, to come into
contact with water or salt water. This could affect
system function.
