wipers may operate unexpectedly when dirt,
fingerprints, oil film or insects are covering
the windscreen of the rain sensor location.
The wipers may also operate when exhaust
gas or moisture affects the rain sensor.
•Do not touch or cover the windscreen where
the rain sensor is located. The wipers may
operate unexpectedly when the wiper switchis in the AUTO position and the ignition switch
is in the ON position. This can cause an injury
or a wiper damage.

•The auto-reverse function does not work
when the window is closed manually (holding
the switch in the close position).
The auto-reverse function enables a window to au-
tomatically reverse when something is caught in the
window as it is closing by the automatic function.
When the control unit detects an obstacle, the win-
dow will be lowered immediately.Depending on the environment or driving conditions,
the auto-reverse function may activate if an impact
or load similar to something being caught in the win-
dow occurs.
Reinitialisation procedure after battery
reconnection
Some power window functions (automatic close
function, auto-reverse function) will not operate as
described after the battery cable is disconnected or
the electrical supply is interrupted. Perform the fol-
lowing procedure to initialise the power window
functions.
1. Place the ignition switch in the “ON” position.
2. If the driver’s window is closed, open it com-
pletely by operating the driver’s window switch.
3. Pull up and hold the driver’s window switch to
close the driver’s window. Hold the switch for
approximately 5 seconds after the window has
been fully closed, and then release it.
4. Check if the power window functions operate
properly.
If you open or close the power window continu-
ously, it may cause the power window not to oper-
ate properly. Perform the above procedure.
If the power window functions do not operate prop-
erly after performing the above procedure, repeat
the steps. See a NISSAN dealer or qualified work-
shop, if necessary, for checking the power window

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.

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.

When the Intelligent Key battery is discharged or
strong radio waves are present near the operating
location, the Intelligent Key system’s operating
range becomes narrower, and the Intelligent Key
may not function properly.The operating range is within 80 cm (31.50 in) from
each request button
j1.
If the Intelligent Key is too close to the door glass,
door handle or rear bumper, the request switches
may not function.
When the Intelligent Key is within the operating
range, it is possible for anyone, even someone who
does not carry the Intelligent Key, to push the re-
quest button to lock/unlock the doors including the
back door.
