Black plate (119,1)
Model "Z12-D" EDITED: 2009/ 1/ 28
It is possible to lock/unlock all doors (including
the back door) , and activate the panic alarm by
using the keyfob from outside the vehicle.
Before locking the doors, make sure the
key is not left in the vehicle.
The keyfob 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 5 keyfobs can be used with one
vehicle. For information concerning the pur-
chase and use of additional keyfobs, contact a
NISSAN dealer.
The keyfob will not function:
.When the keyfob is not within the opera-
tional range.
.When the doors are open or not closed
securely.
.When the key is in the ignition switch.
.When the battery is discharged.
WARNING
The remote keyless entry keyfob trans-
mits radio waves when the buttons are
pushed. The FAA advises that the radio
waves may affect aircraft navigation
and communication systems. Do not
operate the keyfob while on an air-plane. Make sure the buttons are not
operated unintentionally when the unit
is stored during a flight.
CAUTION
The following conditions or occur-
rences will damage the keyfob.
.Do not allow the keyfob to become
wet.
.Do not drop the keyfob.
.Do not strike the keyfob sharply
against another object.
.Do not place the keyfob for an
extended period in an area where
temperatures exceed 1408F (608C) .
If a keyfob is lost or stolen, NISSAN
recommends erasing the ID code of that
keyfob. This will prevent the keyfob
from unauthorized use to unlock the
vehicle. For information regarding the
erasing procedure, please contact a
NISSAN dealer.
If the indicator light on the keyfob does not
illuminate when pushing the buttons, the keyfob
battery may be discharged.
For information regarding the replacement of abattery, see “KEY BATTERY REPLACEMENT”
in the “8. Maintenance and do-it-yourself”
section.

manufacturer for the possible influ-
ences before use.

Makesurethebuttonsarenot
operated unintentionally when the
unit is stored during a flight.
The Intelligent Key system can operate all the
door locks using the remote controller function
or pushing the request switch on the vehicle
without taking the key out from a pocket or
purse. The operating environment and/or condi-
tions may affect the Intelligent Key system
operation.
Be sure to read the following before using the
Intelligent Key system.
CAUTION
.Be sure to carry the Intelligent Key
with you when operating the vehi-
cle.
.Never leave the Intelligent Key in
the vehicle when you leave the
vehicle.
The Intelligent Key is always communicating with
the vehicle as it receives radio waves. The
Intelligent Key system transmits weak radio
waves. Environmental conditions may interfere
with the operation of the Intelligent Key system
under the following operating conditions.
.When operating near a location where
strong radio waves are transmitted, such
as a TV tower, power station and broad-
casting station.
.When in possession of wireless equipment,
such as a cellular phone, transceiver, and
CB radio.
.When the Intelligent Key is in contact with or
covered by metallic materials.
.When any type of radio wave remote control
is used nearby.

computer.
.When the vehicle is parked near a parking
meter.
In such cases, correct the operating conditions
before using the Intelligent Key function or use
the mechanical key.
Although the life of the battery varies depending
on the operating conditions, the battery’s life is
approximately 2 years. If the battery is dis-
charged, replace it with a new one.
Since the Intelligent Key is continuously receiv-
ing radio waves, if the key is left near equipment
which transmits strong radio waves, such as
signals from a TV and personal computer, the
battery life may become shorter.
For information regarding replacement of a
battery, see “KEY BATTERY REPLACEMENT”
in the “8. Maintenance and do-it-yourself”
section.
Because the steering wheel is locked electri-
cally, unlocking the steering wheel with the
ignition switch in the LOCK position is impos-
sible when the vehicle battery is completely
discharged. Always be careful that the vehicle
battery is not completely discharged.
As many as 4 Intelligent Keys can be registered
and used with one vehicle. For information about
the purchase and use of additional IntelligentKeys, contact a NISSAN dealer.
CAUTION
.Do not allow the Intelligent Key,
which contains electrical compo-
nents, to come into contact with
water or salt water. This could affect
the system function.
.Do not drop the Intelligent Key.
.Do not strike the Intelligent Key
sharply against another object.
.Do not change or modify the Intel-
ligent Key.
.Wetting may damage the Intelligent
Key. If the Intelligent Key gets wet,
immediately wipe until it is comple-
tely dry.
.Do not place the Intelligent Key for
an extended period in an area where
temperatures exceed 1408F (608C) .
.Do not attach the Intelligent Key
with a key holder that contains a
magnet.
.Do not place the Intelligent Key near
equipment that produces a mag-
netic field, such as a TV, audio
equipment, personal computers orcellular phone.
If an Intelligent Key is lost or stolen, NISSAN
recommends erasing the ID code of that
Intelligent Key from the vehicle. This may prevent
the unauthorized use of the Intelligent Key to
operate the vehicle. For information regarding
the erasing procedure, contact a NISSAN deal-
er.
The Intelligent Key function can be disabled. For
information about disabling the Intelligent Key
function, contact a NISSAN dealer.

INTELLIGENT KEY OPERATING
RANGEThe Intelligent Key functions can only be used
when the Intelligent Key is within the specified
operating range from the request switch
*1.
When the Intelligent Key battery is discharged or
strong radio waves are present near the operat-
ing location, the Intelligent Key system’s operat-
ing range becomes narrower, and the Intelligent
Key may not function properly.
The operating range is within 31.50 in (80 cm)
from each request switch
*1.
If the Intelligent Key is too close to the door
glass, handle or rear bumper, the requestswitches may not function.
When the Intelligent Key is within the operating
range, it is possible for anyone who does not
carry the Intelligent Key to push the request
switch to lock/unlock the doors including the
back door.
SPA2407
DOOR LOCKS/UNLOCKS PRECAU-
TION.Do not push the door handle request switch
with the Intelligent Key held in your hand as
illustrated. The close distance to the door
handle will cause the Intelligent Key system
to have difficulty recognizing that the In-
telligent Key is outside the vehicle.
.After locking with the door handle request
switch, verify the doors are securely locked
by testing them.
.To prevent the Intelligent Key from being left
inside the vehicle, make sure you carry the
key with you and then lock the doors.
