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.
● Never leave the Intelligent Key in the
vehicle when you leave the vehicle.
The Intelligent Key system can operate all the
door locks using the remote control 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.
The Intelligent Key is capable of receiving and
transmitting radio waves. The Intelligent Key sys-
tem transmits weak radio waves from various
distances. Environmental conditions may inter-
fere with the operation of the Intelligent Key sys-
tem 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, or a
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 two years. If the battery is dis-
charged, replace it with a new one.
When the Intelligent Key battery is low, a yellow
indicator illuminates with the message “Warning,
Key ID Incorrect” in the vehicle information dis-
play. For additional information, refer to “Vehicle
information display warnings and indicators” in
the “Instruments and controls” section of this
manual.
Since the Intelligent Key is capable of 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 additional information, refer to “Battery re-
placement” in the “Do-it-yourself” section of this
manual.
As many as four Intelligent Keys can be regis-
tered and used with one vehicle. For information
about the purchase and use of additional Intelli-
gent Keys, it is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer.

quired when servicing your NISSAN air condi-
tioner. Using improper refrigerants or lubricants

dations” in the “Technical and consumer informa-
tion” section of this manual.
It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer
to service your “environmentally friendly” air con-
ditioning system.
WARNING

erant under high pressure. To avoid per-
sonal injury, any air conditioner service
should be done only by an experienced
technician with proper equipment.For additional information, refer to the separate
Navigation Owner’s Manual.

rear window glass or attach any metal
parts to it. This may cause poor recep-
tion or noise.
● When cleaning the inside of the rear
window, be careful not to scratch or
damage the rear window antenna.
Lightly wipe along the antenna with a
dampened soft cloth. NissanConnect
