1. Two master keys (black) with transponderchip and chrome NISSAN brand symbol on
one side
2. Transponder chip
3. Key number plate
A key number plate is supplied with your keys.
Record the key number and keep the plate in a
safe place (such as your wallet) , not in the ve-
hicle. If you lose your keys, it is recommended
that you visit a NISSAN dealer for duplicates by
using the key number. 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 your keys. If you still have a key, it can
duplicated without knowing the key number.
NISSAN VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER
SYSTEM KEYS (if so equipped)
You can only drive your vehicle using the master
key which is registered to the NISSAN Vehicle
Immobilizer System components in your vehicle.
This key has a transponder chip in the key head.
The master key can be used for all the locks.
Never leave these keys in the vehicle.
Additional or replacement keys:
If you still have a key, the key number is not
necessary when you need extra NISSAN Vehicle
Immobilizer System keys. A NISSAN dealer can
duplicate your existing key. As many as five
NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System keys can be
used with one vehicle. You should bring all
NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System keys that
you have to the NISSAN dealer for registration.
This is because the registration process will
erase the memory of all key codes previously
registered into the NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer
System. After the registration process, these
components will only recognize keys coded into
the NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System duringregistration. Any key that is not given to the dealer
at the time of registration will no longer be able to
start your vehicle.
CAUTION
Do not allow the immobilizer system key,
which contains an electrical transponder,
to come into contact with water or salt
water. This could affect system function.

using the key fob from outside the vehicle.
Be sure to remove the key from the vehicle
before locking the doors.
The key fob can operate at a distance of approxi-
mately 33 ft (10 m) from the vehicle. The effective
distance depends upon the conditions around
the vehicle. As many as five key fobs can be used with one
vehicle. For information concerning the purchase
and use of additional key fobs, it is recommended
that you visit a NISSAN dealer.
The key fob will not function when:
