*1, the rear doors can be opened only
from the outside.
To disengage, move the levers to the unlock
position
*2.
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 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 condi-
tions may affect 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 vehi-
cle.
.Never leave the Intelligent Key in
the vehicle when you leave the
vehicle.
The Intelligent Key is always communicating withthe vehicle as it receives radio waves. The
Intelligent 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 broad-
casting 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
computer.
.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.
Since the Intelligent Key is continuously receiv-
ing radio waves, if the key is left near equipment
which transmits strong radio waves, such as
signals from a TV and personal computer, the
battery life may become shorter.
For information regarding replacement of a
battery, see “BATTERY REPLACEMENT” in
the “8. Maintenance and do-it-yourself” section.
Because the steering wheel is locked electri-
cally, unlocking the steering wheel with the
ignition switch in the LOCK position is impos-
sible when the vehicle battery is completely
discharged. Pay special attention that the
vehicle battery is not completely discharged.
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.
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 modify the Intel-
ligent Key.
.Wetting may damage the Intelligent
Key. If the Intelligent Key gets wet,
immediately wipe until it is comple-
tely dry.
.Do not place the Intelligent Key for
an extended period in an area where
temperatures exceed 1408F (608C) .
.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
equipment and personal computers.
If an Intelligent Key is lost or stolen, NISSAN
recommends erasing the ID code of that

The automatic drive positioner system has two
features:
.Entry/exit function
.Memory storage
ENTRY/EXIT FUNCTION
This system is designed so that the driver’s seat
and steering column will automatically move
when the selector 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 with the ignition switch in the
LOCK position and the key not inserted in the
key port.
The driver’s seat and steering wheel will return
to the previous positions when the ignition
switch is pushed to the ACC position.
The driver’s seat will not return to the previous
positions if the seat or steering adjusting switch
is operated when the seat is at the exit position.
Cancel or activate entry/exit function
The selector lever must be in the P (Park)
position with the ignition switch in the OFF
position after the driver’s door is opened.
The entry/exit function can be activated orcanceled by pressing and holding the SET
switch for more than 10 seconds.
The indicator lights on the memory switches (1
and 2) will blink once when the function is
canceled, and the indicator lights will blink twice
when the function is activated. Note that the
indicator lights may illuminate after 5 seconds
while holding the SET switch. This indicates
readiness for linking the Intelligent Key to a
stored memory position. Keep the SET switch
pressed for more than 10 seconds to turn on or
off the entry/exit function.
The entry/exit function can also be activated or
canceled if the “Lift Steering Wheel on Exit” key
or “Slide Driver Seat Back on Exit” key is turned
to ON or OFF in the “Comfort & Conv.” settings.
(See “VEHICLE INFORMATION AND SET-
TINGS” in the “4. Monitor, heater, air condi-
tioner, audio, phone and voice recognition
systems” section.)
Initialize entry/exit function
If the battery cable is disconnected, or if the fuse
opens, the entry/exit function will not work
though this function was set on before. In such
a case, after connecting the battery or replacing
with a new fuse, open and close the driver’s
door more than two times after the ignition
switch is turned from the ON position to the
LOCK position. The entry/exit function will be
activated.

Linking key to a stored memory position
The key can be linked to a stored memory
position with the following procedure.
1. Follow one of the steps for storing a memory
position.
.While the indicator light for the memory
switch being set is illuminated for 5 sec-
onds, push the
button on the key.
.Push the ignition switch to the OFF position,
and then push the SET switch. Push the
button while pushing the memory
button while the indicator light stays on for
approximately 5 seconds.
If the indicator light blinks, the key is linked to
that memory setting.
Push the ignition switch to the OFF position, andthen push the
button on the key. The
driver’s seat, steering wheel and outside mirrors
will move to the memorized position.
Confirming memory storage
.Push the ignition switch to the ON position

approximately 5 seconds.
.If the battery cable is disconnected, or if the
fuse opens, the memory will be canceled. In
this case, reset the desired position using
the previous procedure.
.If optional keys are added to your vehicle,
the memory storage procedure to switch 1
or 2 and linking key procedure to a stored
memory position should be performed again
for each key. For additional Intelligent Key
information, see “KEYS” earlier in this
section.
Selecting the memorized position
1. Move the selector lever to the P (Park)
position.
2. Use one of the following methods to move
the driver’s seat, the outside mirrors and the
steering wheel..Push the ignition switch to the ON

.Within 45 seconds of opening the
driver’s door, 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 flashing, and
then the light will stay on for approximately 5
seconds.
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) (entry/exit function) .
.When the vehicle is driven (memory sto-
rage) .
.When the adjusting switch for the driver’s
seat and steering column is turned on while
the automatic drive positioner is operating.
.When the seat, steering column and outside
mirrors have already been moved to the
memorized position.
.When no position is stored in the memory
switch.
