CAUTION
Continued vehicle operation without having the
engine control system checked and repaired as
necessary could lead to poor driveability,
reduced fuel economy and possible damage to
the engine control system, which may affect your
warranty coverage.
Incorrect setting of the engine control system may
lead to non-compliance of local and national emis-
sion laws and regulations.

NISSAN ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM
(NATS)* KEY
Your vehicle can only be driven with the keys spe-
cific to your vehicle. Only NISSAN Anti-Theft Sys-
tem (NATS)* keys can be used with your vehicle
(see “Security system” later in this section).
INTELLIGENT KEY (where fitted)
Your vehicle can only be driven with the Intelligent
Keys, which are registered to your vehicle’s Intelli-
gent Key system components and NISSAN Anti-
Theft System (NATS*) components. As many as 4
Intelligent Keys can be registered and used with
one vehicle. The new keys must be registered by a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop prior to use
with the Intelligent Key system and NATS of your
vehicle. Since the registration process requires
erasing all memory in the Intelligent Key compo-
nents when registering new keys, be sure to take all
Intelligent Keys that you have to the NISSAN dealer
or qualified workshop.
*: Immobilizer
CAUTION
Be sure to carry the Intelligent Key with you.
Do not leave the vehicle with the Intelligent
Key inside.
Be sure to carry the Intelligent Key with you
when driving. The Intelligent Key is a preci-
sion device with a built-in transmitter. To avoid
damaging it, please note the following. – The Intelligent Key is water resistant; how-
ever, wetting may damage the Intelligent
Key. If the Intelligent Key gets wet, imme-
diately wipe until it is completely dry.
– Do not allow the Intelligent Key to come into contact with water or salt water this
could affect the system function.
– Do not bend, drop or strike it against an- other object.
– Do not place the Intelligent Key for an ex- tended period in a place where tempera-
tures exceed 60°C (140°F).
– Do not change or modify the Intelligent Key.
– Do not use a magnetic key holder.
– Do not place the Intelligent Key near equip- ment that produces a magnetic 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 In-
telligent Key. This will prevent the Intelligent
Key from unauthorised use to unlock the ve-
hicle. For information regarding the erasing
procedure, please contact a NISSAN dealer
or qualified workshop.

A key number platej3 is supplied with your key
Record the key number on the “Security Informa-
tion” page at the end of this manual and keep it in a
safe place, but not in the vehicle . The key can only
be duplicated using an original key or the original
key number. The key number is required when you
have lost all of the keys and do not have the original
key to duplicate from. If the key is lost, or you need
extra keys, provide an original key or the key number
to a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
NISSAN does not record key numbers, so it is very
important that you keep a record of your key num-
ber.
NEW KEYS
As many as four NATS keys can be registered to
one vehicle at any one time. New keys must be reg-
istered to the NATS components of your vehicle by
a NISSAN dealer.
When registering a new key at a NISSAN dealer,
you are requested to bring all of your NATS keys
with you. This is necessary because the registration
process will erase and reprogram the memory of
your vehicle’s NATS components.
NOTE
A key number is only required if you have lost all
of your keys and do not have one to duplicate
from. If you still have a key, this key can be dupli-
cated by a NISSAN dealer.
EMERGENCY/MECHANICAL KEY
(Intelligent Key models)
The emergency key can be used to unlock the driv-
er’s door and start the engine in emergency situa-
tions (e.g. Intelligent Key dead battery).
To use the mechanical key, release the lock knob
located on the side of the Intelligent Key then slide
and remove the cap. Unfold the mechanical key from
its housing until it locks in place.
Use the mechanical key to lock or unlock the doors.
(See “Door locks” later in this section.)
For further details on accessing and using the emer-
gency key, see “Ignition knob (where fitted)” in the
“5. Starting and driving” section.
NOTE
For the driver side door, it is normal for the key
not to go all the way into the key cylinder. The remote keyless entry system can operate all
door locks (including the back door) using the inte-
grated keyfob. The integrated keyfob can operate at
a distance of approximately 5 m (15 ft) from the
vehicle (the effective distance depends upon the
conditions around the vehicle and the state of the
keyfob battery).
As many as 5 remote controllers can be used with
one vehicle. For information about the purchase and

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine use of additional remote controllers, contact a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
The integrated keyfob will not function under the fol-
lowing conditions:
When the distance between the integrated key-
fob and vehicle is more than approximately 5 m
(15 ft).
When the integrated keyfob battery is
discharged.
When the key is in the ignition switch.
All doors can be locked or unlocked from the out-
side by pressing the “LOCK”
or “UNLOCK”button on the integrated keyfob.
For Super Lock system models only (RHD mod-
els):
When the vehicle is occupied, never lock the
doors with the integrated keyfob. Doing so will
trap the occupants, since the Super Lock system
prevents the doors from being opened from the
inside.
WARNING
Only operate the integrated keyfob lock button in
full and clear view of the vehicle to prevent any-
body being trapped inside the vehicle.
CAUTION
When locking the doors using the integrated
keyfob, be sure not to leave the key in the
vehicle.
Always remove the ignition key or Intelligent
Key, close all windows before operating the
keyfob door lock system.
Ensure that the driver’s door is securely
closed before operating the integrated keyfob
door lock system for correct operation of the
system.
Do not allow the integrated keyfob, which
contains electrical components, to come into
contact with water or salt water. This could
affect the system function.
Do not drop the integrated keyfob.
Do not strike the integrated keyfob sharply
against another object.
Do not place the integrated keyfob for an ex-
tended period in an area where temperatures
exceed 60°C (140°F).
If a integrated keyfob is lost or stolen, NISSAN rec-
ommends erasing the ID code of that integrated
keyfob from the vehicle. This may prevent the unau-
thorised use of the integrated keyfob to unlock the
vehicle. For information regarding the erasing pro-
cedure, contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified work-
shop.
For information regarding the replacement of a bat-
tery, see “Battery” in the “8. Maintenance and
do-it-yourself” section.
SWITCHING FROM CONVENIENCE
