Before locking the doors, make sure the
Intelligent Key is not left in the vehicle.
The LOCK/UNLOCK button on the Intelli-
gent Key can operate at a distance of
approximately 33 ft (10 m) from the
vehicle. (The effective distance depends
upon the conditions around the vehicle.)
As many as 4 Intelligent Keys can be used
with one vehicle. For information con-
cerning the purchase and use of addi-
tional Intelligent Keys, contact a NISSAN
dealer.
The lock and unlock buttons on the Intelligent Key will not operate when:
.
the distance between the Intelligent
Key and the vehicle is over 33 ft (10 m).
. the Intelligent Key battery runs down.
After locking with the remote keyless
entry function, pull the door handle to
make sure the doors are securely locked.
The LOCK/UNLOCK operating range var-

REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM

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 func-
tion 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 perfor-
mance 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 dis-
charged or other strong radio wave
sources are present near the operating
location, the Intelligent Key operating
range becomes narrower, and the Intelli-
gent Key may not function properly.
The remote engine start operating range
is approximately 197 ft (60 m) from the
vehicle.
REMOTE STARTING THE ENGINE
To use the remote start function to start
the engine, perform the following:
1. Aim the Intelligent Key at the vehicle.
2. Push the “LOCK”
button to lock all
doors.

the fuse opens, the entry/exit function
will not work though this function was set
on before. In such a case, after connect-
ing the battery or replacing with a new
fuse, open and close the driver’s door
more than two times after the ignition
switch is turned from the ON position to
the LOCK position. The entry/exit func-
tion will be activated.
MEMORY STORAGE
Two positions for the driver’s seat, steer-
ing column and outside mirrors can be
stored in the automatic drive positioner
memory. Follow these procedures to use
the memory system.
1. Move the shift lever to the P (Park)position.
2. Adjust the driver’s seat, steering col- umn and outside mirrors to the de-
sired positions by manually operating

3. Push the SET switch and, within 5 seconds, push the memory switch (1
or 2) fully for at least 1 second.
The indicator light for the pushed
memory switch will stay on for ap- proximately 5 seconds after pushing
the switch.
When the memory is stored in the
memory switch (1 or 2), a buzzer will
sound.
If memory is stored in the same
memory switch, the previous memory
will be deleted.
Linking Intelligent Key to a stored
memory position
The Intelligent Key can be linked to a
stored memory position with the follow-
ing procedure.
1. Follow the steps for storing a memory
position.
2. While the indicator light for the mem- ory switch being set is illuminated for
5 seconds, push the
