ignition switch is in the ACC or ON position.
CAUTION
●The outlet and plug may be hot during
or immediately after use.
● Only certain power outlets are designed
for use with a cigarette lighter unit. Do
not use any other power outlet for an
accessory lighter. See your NISSAN
dealer for additional information.
● Do not use with accessories that exceed
a 12 volt, 120W (10A) power draw.
● Do not use double adapters or more
than one electrical accessory.
● Use power outlets with the engine run-
ning to avoid discharging the vehicle
battery.
● Avoid using power outlets when the air
conditioner, headlights or rear window
defroster is on.
● Before inserting or disconnecting a
plug, be sure the electrical accessory
being used is turned OFF.
● Push the plug in as far as it will go. If
good contact is not made, the plug may
overheat or the internal temperature
fuse may open.
● When not in use, be sure to close the

WARNING
●Radio waves could adversely affect
electric medical equipment. Those who
use a pacemaker should contact the
electric medical equipment manufac-
turer for the possible influences before
use.
● The Intelligent Key transmits radio
waves when the buttons are pressed.
The FAA advises the radio waves may
affect aircraft navigation and communi-
cation systems. Do not operate the In-
telligent Key while on an airplane. Make
sure the buttons are not operated unin-
tentionally when the unit is stored for 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 conditions may af-
fect 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 vehicle.
● 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 Intel-
ligent 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 broadcasting
station.
● When in possession of wireless equipment,
such as a cellular telephone, 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.
● When the Intelligent Key is placed near an
electric appliance such as a personal com-
puter. ●
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.
When the Intelligent Key battery is almost dis-
charged, insert the Intelligent Key into the Intelli-
gent Key port to start the engine. Replace the
discharged battery with a new one as soon as
possible. For additional information, see “Push
Button Ignition Switch” in the “Starting and driv-
ing” section.
Since the Intelligent Key is continuously receiving
radio waves, if the key is left near equipment
which transmits strong radio waves, such as sig-
nals from a TV and personal computer, the bat-
tery life may become shorter.
For information regarding replacement of a bat-
tery, see “Battery replacement” in the “Mainte-
nance and do-it-yourself” section.
As many as 4 Intelligent Keys can be registered
and used with one vehicle. For information about
the purchase and use of additional Intelligent
Keys, contact a NISSAN dealer.

Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-7

1. Connect the battery cable or replace thefuse.
2. Open and close the driver’s door more than 2 times with the ignition switch in the LOCK
position.
Once the memory storage function has been
restarted, you can store a memory position.
See “Memory storage function” in this sec-
tion.
Selecting the memorized position
Set the shift lever to the P (Park) position, then: ● Within 45 seconds of opening the driver’s
door, push the memory switch (1 or 2) or
● Place the ignition switch in the ON position
and push the memory switch (1 or 2) .
The driver’s seat, steering column, and outside
mirrors will move to the memorized position with
the indicator light blinking, and then the light will
stay on for approximately 5 seconds.
ENTRY/EXIT FUNCTION
This system is designed so that the driver’s seat
and automatic operation steering column will au-
tomatically move when the shift lever is in the P
(Park) position. This allows the driver to get into
and out of the driver’s seat more easily. The driver’s seat will slide backward and the
steering wheel will move up when the driver’s
door is opened and the ignition switch is in the
LOCK position.
The driver’s seat and steering wheel will return to
the previous position when the driver’s door is
closed and the ignition switch is pushed.
The entry/exit function can be adjusted or can-
celed. See “Comfort & Convenience settings”
and “Comfort settings” in the “Monitor, climate,
audio, phone and voice recognition systems”
section of this manual.
Restarting the entry/exit function
If the battery cable is disconnected or if the fuse
opens, the entry/exit function will be disabled.
Drive the vehicle over 25 MPH (40 km/h) to
restart the entry/exit function. You can also restart
the entry/exit function using the following proce-
dure.
1. Connect the battery cable or replace the fuse.
2. Open and close the driver’s door more than 2 times with the ignition switch in the LOCK
position.
The entry/exit function should now work properly.
SYSTEM OPERATION
The automatic drive positioner system will not
work or will stop operating under the following
conditions: ● When the vehicle speed is above 4 MPH
(7 km/h).
● When any of the memory switches are
pushed while the automatic drive positioner
is operating.
● When the adjusting switch for the driver’s
seat is turned on while the automatic drive
positioner is operating.
● When the seat has been already moved to
the memorized position.
● When no seat position is stored in the
memory switch.
● When the shift lever is moved from P (Park)
to any other position.
● When the driver’s door remains open more
than 45 seconds and the ignition switch is
not in the ON position.
The automatic drive positioner system can be
adjusted and canceled for vehicles with naviga-
tion system. See “Comfort & convenience set-
tings” and “Comfort settings” in the “Monitor,
climate, audio, phone and voice recognition sys-
tems” section of this manual.
