WARNING
• Radio waves could adversely affect electric medical equipment. Those
who use a pacemaker should con-
tact the electric medical equipment
manufacturer for the possible influ-
ences before use.
• The Intelligent Key transmits radio waves when the buttons are
pressed. The FAA advises that the
radio waves may affect aircraf t
navigation and communication sys-
tems. Do not operate the Intelligent
Key while on an airplane. Make sure
the buttons are not operated unin-
tentionally when the unit is stored
during a flight.
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 modif y the Intelli- gent Key.
• Wetting may damage the Intelligent Key. If the Intelligent Key gets wet,
immediately wipe until it is com-
pletely dry.
• Do not place the Intelligent Key for an extended period in an area where
temperatures exceed 140°F (60°C).
• 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 equip-
ment, personal computers or cellu-
lar phone. The remote keyless entry function can op-
erate all door locks using the remote key-
less entry function of the Intelligent Key.
The remote keyless entry function can
operate at a distance of approximately
33 f t (10 m) from the vehicle. The operating
distance depends upon the conditions
around the vehicle.
The remote keyless entry function will not
operate:
• When the Intelligent Key is not within the
operational range.
• When the doors are open or not closed securely.
• When the Intelligent Key battery is discharged.
CAUTION
When locking the doors using the Intel-
ligent Key, be sure not to leave the key
in the vehicle.

NISSAN INTELLIGENT KEY®
SYSTEM
The Intelligent Key system allows the driver
to start the EV system without taking the
key out of a pocket or purse. The operating
environment and/or conditions may affect

hicle.
OPERATING RANGE FOR EV START
FUNCTION
The Intelligent Key function can only be
used for starting the EV system when the
Intelligent Key is within the specified oper-
ating range
1.
When the Intelligent Key battery is almost
discharged or strong radio waves are pres-
ent near the operating location, the Intelli-
gent Key system’s operating range be-
comes narrower and it may not function
properly. If the Intelligent Key is within the operating
range, it is possible for anyone, even some-
one who does not carry the Intelligent Key,
to push the power switch to start the EV
system.
• The cargo area is not included in the op-
erating range but the Intelligent Key may
function.
• If the Intelligent Key is placed on the in- strument panel or inside the glove box or
door pocket, the Intelligent Key may not
function.
• If the Intelligent Key is placed near a door or window outside the vehicle, the Intelli-
gent Key may not function.

LOCK (Normal parking position)
The power switch can only be locked in this
position.
The power switch will be unlocked when it
is pushed to the ACC position while the

LOCK position until the vehicle is in the P
(Park) position.
CAUTION
Do not leave the vehicle with the power
switch in the ACC position for an ex-
tended period of time. This can dis-

the chime sounds. The power switch
position changes to the READY to drive
mode.
Af ter step 3 is performed, if the power
switch is pushed without depressing the

change to ACC.
NOTE:
• When the power switch is pushed to the
ACC or ON position or READY to drive
mode by the above procedure, the EV
system operation for discharged Intelli-
gent Key system indicator appears on
the vehicle information display even if
the Intelligent Key is inside the vehicle.
This is not a malfunction. To stop the
warning indicator from blinking, touch
the power switch with the Intelligent
Key again. •
If the Intelligent Key battery discharge
indicator appears on the vehicle infor-
mation display, replace the battery as
soon as possible. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “NISSAN Intelligent Key®
battery replacement” in the “Mainte-
nance and do-it-yourself ” section of
this manual.
NISSAN VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER
SYSTEM
The NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System
will not allow the power switch to be placed
in the READY to drive position without the
use of the registered key.
If the power switch fails to place the vehicle
into the READY to drive position using the
registered key, it may be due to interfer-
ence caused by another registered key, an
automated toll road device or automated
payment device on the key ring. Restart the
EV system using the following procedure:
1. Leave the power switch in the ON posi-
tion for approximately 5 seconds.
2. Place the power switch in the OFF posi- tion and wait approximately 10 seconds. 3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 again.
4. Place the power switch in the READY to
drive position while holding the device
(which may have caused the interfer-
ence) separate from the registered key.
If this procedure allows the power
switch to be placed in the READY to drive
mode, NISSAN recommends placing the
registered key on a separate key ring to
avoid interference from other devices.
Starting and driving5-13

• Make sure that the area around the ve-hicle is clear.
• Check fluid levels such as coolant, brake fluid, and windshield-washer fluid as fre-
quently as possible.
• Check that all windows and lights are clean.
• Visually inspect tires for their appearance and condition. Also check tires for proper
inflation.
• Check that all doors are closed.
• Position the seat and adjust the head restraints/headrests.
• Adjust the inside and outside mirrors.
• Fasten seat belts and ask all passengers to do likewise.
•
Check the operation of the warning lights
when the power switch is pushed to the ON
position. For additional information, refer to
“Warning lights, indicator lights and audible
reminders” in the “Instruments and con-
trols” section of this manual.
1. Confirm the parking brake is applied.
2. Confirm that the vehicle is in the P (Park) position.
When the power switch is placed in the
ON position, the EV is designed not to
operate unless the shif t lever is in the P
(Park) or N (Neutral) position.
The Intelligent Key must be carried
with you when operating the power
switch.
3. Depress the brake pedal and push the power switch to place the EV system in
the READY to drive position.
To place the vehicle in the READY to drive
position immediately, push and release
the power switch while depressing the
brake pedal with the power switch in
any position. The READY to drive indica-
tor light
in the meter illuminates.
4. To stop the EV system, push the P (Park) position switch on the shif t lever, and
push the power switch to the OFF
position.
NOTE:
Care should be taken to avoid situa-
tions that can lead to potential battery
discharge and potential no-start con-
ditions such as:
1.Installation or extended use of elec-
tronic accessories that consume bat-
tery power when the EV system is not
running (phone chargers, GPS, DVD
players, etc.).
2. The vehicle is not driven regularly
and/or only driven short distances.
In these cases, the battery may need to
be charged to maintain battery health.
