A key number plate is supplied with your key.
Record the key number found on the key
number plate and keep it in a safe place
(such as your wallet), NOT IN THE VEHICLE.
If you lose your keys, see your NISSAN
dealer for duplicates by using the key num-
ber. NISSAN does not record key numbers so
it is very important to keep track of your key
number plate.
A key number is only necessary when you
have lost all keys and do not have one to
duplicate from. If you still have a key, this
key can be duplicated by your NISSAN
dealer or locksmith.
Locking doors with key
To lock the door, turn the key towards the
back of the vehicle. To unlock, turn it to-
wards the front.
On power door lock equipped models, lock-
ing the driver's door simultaneously locks
the passenger's door.
Locking doors without key
To lock the doors from the outside without a
key, push the inside lock knob to the lock
position, then close the door.
When locking the door this way, be certain
not to leave the key inside the vehicle.

POWER DOOR LOCK
(if so equipped)
The power door lock system allows you to
lock or unlock both doors simultaneously.
cPressing the door lock/unlock button to-
ward the rear of the vehicle locks both
doors. Pressing the same button toward
the front of the vehicle unlocks both
doors.
cTurning the driver's door key toward the
front of the vehicle unlocks both doors.
Turning the key toward the back of the
vehicle locks both doors.cPushing the driver's inside lock knob
down locks both doors. Pulling the lock
knob up unlocks both doors.
WARNING
cAlways have the doors locked while
driving. Along with the use of seat
belts, this provides greater safety in
the event of an accident by helping
to prevent persons from being
thrown from the vehicle. This also
helps keep children and others from
unintentionally opening the doors,
and will help keep out intruders.
cBefore opening the door, always
look for and avoid oncoming traffic.
cDo not leave children unattended in
a locked vehicle. They could un-
knowingly activate switches or con-
trols. Unattended children could be-
come involved in serious accidents.
