Lockout protection
When the power door lock switch (driver’s or
front passenger’s side) is moved to the lock
position with the key in the ignition and any door
open, all doors will lock and then unlock auto-
matically. This helps to prevent the keys from
being accidently locked inside the vehicle.
CHILD SAFETY REAR DOOR LOCK
Child safety locks help prevent the rear doors
from being opened accidentally, especially when
small children are in the vehicle.
The child safety lock levers are located on the
edge of the rear doors.
When the lever is in the lock position, the
door can be opened only from the outside.It is possible to lock/unlock all doors, turn on the
interior lights and puddle lamps (if so equipped) ,
and activate the panic alarm by using the keyfob
from outside the vehicle.
Some settings for the keyfob, such as horn beep,
can be adjusted. For vehicles without navigation
system, refer to “Silencing the horn beep feature”
later in this section. For vehicles with navigation
system, refer to “Comfort & convenience set-
tings” in the “Display screen, heater, air condi-
tioner and audio systems” section later in this
manual.
Be sure to remove the key from the vehicle
before locking the doors.
The keyfob can operate at a maximum distance of
approximately 33 ft (10 m) from the vehicle. The
effective distance depends upon the conditions
around the vehicle.
As many as 5 keyfobs can be used with one
vehicle. For information concerning the purchase
and use of additional keyfobs, contact a NISSAN
dealer.
The keyfob will not function when:
cthe battery is discharged.
cthe 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
Listed below are conditions or occur-
rences which will damage the keyfob:
cDo not allow the keyfob to become wet.
cDo not drop the keyfob.
cDo not strike the keyfob sharply against
another object.
cDo not place the keyfob for an extended
period in an area where temperatures
exceed 140°F (60°C) .
If a keyfob is lost or stolen, NISSAN rec-
ommends erasing the ID code of that key-
fob. This will prevent the keyfob from un-
authorized use to unlock the vehicle. For
information regarding the erasing proce-
dure, please contact a NISSAN dealer.

minder that the doors are already locked.

tion under the following conditions:

cThe system is designed as an aid to the
driver in detecting large stationary ob-
jects to help avoid damaging the ve-
hicle. The system will not detect small
objects below the bumper, and may not
detect objects close to the bumper or
on the ground.
cIf your vehicle sustains damage to the
front bumper fascia, leaving it mis-
aligned or bent, the sensing zone may
be altered causing inaccurate measure-
ment of obstacles or false alarms.
The Front Sonar System (FSS) sounds a tone to
warn the driver of obstacles near the front
bumper when the shift selector is in a forward
gear. The system may not detect objects at
speeds above 3 mph (5 km/h) and may not detect
certain angular or moving objects.
The FSS detects obstacles up to 6 feet (1.8 m)
from the front bumper with a decreased coverage
area at the outer corners of the bumper, (refer to
the illustration for approximate zone coverage
areas) . As you move closer to the obstacle, the
rate of the tone increases. When the obstacle is
less than 10 inches (25.0 cm) away, the tone will
sound continuously. If the FSS detects a station-
ary or receding object further than 10 inches
(25.0 cm) from the side of the vehicle, the tonewill sound for only three seconds. Once the sys-
tem detects an object approaching, the tone will
sound again.
The FSS automatically turns on when the shift
selector lever is placed in a forward gear and the
ignition is ON. The FSS OFF switch on the instru-
ment panel allows the driver to turn the FSS on
and off. To turn the FSS off, the ignition must be
ON, and the shift selector lever in D (Drive) . An
indicator light on the switch will illuminate when
the system is turned off. If the indicator light
illuminates when the FSS is not turned off, it may
indicate a failure in the FSS.
Keep the FSS sensors (located on the front
bumper fascia) free from snow, ice and large
accumulations of dirt (do not clean the sensors
with sharp objects) . If the sensors are covered, it
will affect the accuracy of the FSS.FREEING A FROZEN DOOR LOCK
To prevent a door lock from freezing, apply de-
icer through the key hole. If the lock becomes
frozen, heat the key before inserting it into the key
hole or use the remote keyless entry keyfob (if so
equipped) .
ANTI-FREEZE
In the winter when it is anticipated that the tem-
perature will drop below 32°F (0°C) , check the
anti-freeze to assure proper winter protection.
For details, see “Engine cooling system” in the
“Maintenance and do-it-yourself” section of this
manual.
BATTERY
If the battery is not fully charged during extremely
cold weather conditions, the battery fluid may
freeze and damage the battery. To maintain maxi-
mum efficiency, the battery should be checked
regularly. For details, see “Battery” in the “Main-
tenance and do-it-yourself” section of this
manual.
