Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-17

WARNING
To avoid risk of injury or death, do not
use the remote engine start function
when the vehicle is in an enclosed area
such as a garage.
JVP0445X
The remote engine startbutton is on the
Intelligent Key if the vehicle has remote engine
start function. This function allows the engine to
start from outside the vehicle.
Some systems, such as the air conditioner
system, will turn on during a remote start, if the
system was on the last time the ignition switch
was turned off.
Laws in some local communities may restrict the
use of remote starters. For example, some laws
require a person using remote start to have the
vehicle in view. Check local regulations for any
requirements.
Other conditions may affect the remote engine
start function. See “Conditions the remote engine start will not work” (P.3-20) .
Other conditions can affect the performance of
the Intelligent Key transmitter. See “Intelligent
Key system” (P.3-7) for additional information.
REMOTE ENGINE START OPERATING
RANGE
The remote engine start function can only be
used when the Intelligent Key is within the
specified operating range from the vehicle.
When the Intelligent Key battery is discharged or
other strong radio wave sources are present
near the operating location, the Intelligent Key
operating range becomes narrower, and the
Intelligent Key may not function properly.
The remote engine start operating range is
approximately 197 ft (60 m) from the vehicle.
REMOTE STARTING THE ENGINE

. The first 10 minute run time will start when
the remote engine start function is per-
formed.
. The second 10 minutes will start immedi-
ately when the remote engine start function
is performed. For example, if the engine has
been running for 5 minutes, and 10 minutes
are added, the engine will run for a total of 15 minutes.
. Extending engine run time will count to-
wards the two remote start limit.
A maximum of two remote starts, or a single start
with an extension, are allowed between ignition
cycles.
The ignition switch must be cycled to the ON
position and then back to the OFF position
before the remote engine start procedure can be

Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-21
HOOD

.Push the power door lock switch to the
UNLOCK position.
To lock, close the fuel-filler door securely and
lock all doors by operating the door handle
request switch, the LOCK button on the
Intelligent Key, the mechanical key or the power
door lock switch.
FUEL-FILLER CAP
WARNING
. Gasoline is extremely flammable
and highly explosive under certain
conditions. You could be burned or
seriously injured if it is misused or
mishandled. Always stop engine
and do not smoke or allow open
flames or sparks near the vehicle
when refueling.
. Do not attempt to top off the fuel
tank after the fuel pump nozzle
shuts off automatically. Continued
refueling may cause fuel overflow,
resulting in fuel spray and possibly
a fire.
. Use only an original equipment type
fuel-filler cap as a replacement. It
has a built-in safety valve needed
for proper operation of the fuel system and emission control sys-
tem. An incorrect cap can result in a
serious malfunction and possible
injury. It could also cause the mal-
function indicator light to come on.
. Never pour fuel into the throttle
body to attempt to start your vehi-
cle.
. Do not fill a portable fuel container
in the vehicle or trailer. Static elec-
tricity can cause an explosion of
flammable liquid, vapor or gas in
any vehicle or trailer. To reduce the
risk of serious injury or death when
filling portable fuel containers:
— Always place the container on
the ground when filling.
— Do not use electronic devices when filling.
— Keep the pump nozzle in contact with the container while you are
filling it.
— Use only approved portable fuel containers for flammable liquid.
CAUTION
. If fuel is spilled on the vehicle body,
flush it away with water to avoid
paint damage.
. Insert the cap straight into the fuel-
filler tube, then tighten until the
fuel-filler cap clicks. Failure to tight-
en the fuel-filler cap properly may
cause the
malfunction indicator
light (MIL) to illuminate. If the
light illuminates because the fuel-
filler cap is loose or missing, tighten
or install the cap and continue to
drive the vehicle. The
light
should turn off after a few driving
trips. If the
light does not turn
off after a few driving trips, have the
vehicle inspected. It is recom-
mended you visit a NISSAN dealer
for this service.
. The LOOSE FUEL CAP warning will
appear if the fuel-filler cap is not
properly tightened. It may take a few
driving trips for the message to be
displayed. Failure to tighten the
fuel-filler cap properly after the
LOOSE FUEL CAP warning appears
Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-27
