approved by the manufacturer compliance
could void the user’s authority to operate
the equipment. This device complies with
Part 15 of the FCC Rules and RSS-210 of
Industry Canada. Operation is subject to
the following two conditions: (1) This de-
vice may not cause harmful interference,
and (2) this device must accept any inter-
ference received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation of the
device.The Intelligent Key uses coded radio signals to
communicate with the vehicle. When the Intelli-
gent Key is near the vehicle, such as when
standing near the vehicle with the Intelligent Key
in your pocket or purse, it allows the vehicle to
be locked or unlocked. And, when you are inside
the vehicle while carrying the Intelligent Key with
you, it allows the engine to be started without
inserting the key to the ignition switch. It is also
possible to use the remote keyless entry func-
tion.
CAUTION

Be sure to carry the Intelligent Key
with you.

Do not leave the vehicle with the
Intelligent Key inside.

The Intelligent Key may not function
correctly depending on the environment
or operating conditions. It could also
malfunction if you do not use it cor-
rectly.

The Intelligent Key transmits faint radio
waves.
In the following situations, the Intelli-
gent Key and remote keyless entry func-tions may not operate correctly, and you
may have to use the metal key (me-
chanical key or valet key):
•when there are strong signals com-
ing from a television tower, power
station or broadcasting station.
•when you have wireless equipment
or a cellular phone with you.
•when the Intelligent Key is in contact
with or covered by a metallic mate-
rial.
•when radio wave-type remote control
entry is used nearby.
•when the Intelligent Key is placed
near an electric appliance such as a
personal computer.

The Intelligent Key continually con-
sumes battery power as the key receives
a signal to communicate with the ve-
hicle. Battery life of the Intelligent Key is
about 2 years, although it varies de-
pending on the operating conditions.
When the battery of the Intelligent Key
is low, the green blinking key warning
light goes out about 30 seconds after
the ignition switch is turned to ON. If the
battery runs down, replace it with a new
one.INTELLIGENT KEY SYSTEM (if so

If the Intelligent Key receives strong
signal over an extended period of time,
the battery of the Intelligent Key could
quickly run down. Do not place the In-
telligent Key near an electric appliance
such as a television set or personal
computer.

Because the ignition switch is electroni-
cally controlled, if the vehicle battery is
completely discharged when the igni-
tion switch is in the LOCK position, the
steering lock cannot be released or the
ignition switch cannot be turned (not by
the mechanical key either).

In case the vehicle battery is completely
discharged, make sure to recharge the
vehicle battery immediately.

WARNING

The Intelligent Key transmits radio
waves that can adversely affect medi-
cal electric equipment.

If you have a pacemaker, you should
contact the medical equipment
manufacturer to ask if it will be af-
fected by the Intelligent Key signal.
Record the key number on the key number
plate/metal tag and keep it in a safe place (such
as your wallet), NOT IN THE VEHICLE. A key
number plate is supplied with your key. Keep the
plate in a safe place. NISSAN does not record
key numbers so it is very important to keep track
of your key number plate.
As many as 4 Intelligent Key can be used with
one vehicle. For information concerning the pur-
chase and use of an additional Intelligent Key,
contact a NISSAN dealer.
