KEY NUMBER
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, butnot 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.

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 thevehicle (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
use of additional remote controllers, contact a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.

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

•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.
