HOW TO USE REMOTE KEYLESS
ENTRY FUNCTION
WARNING
.Radio waves could adversely affect
electric medical equipment. Those
who use a pacemaker should con-
tact the electric medical equipment
manufacturer for the possible influ-
ences before use.
.The Intelligent Key transmits radio
waves when the buttons are
pushed. The FAA advises that the
radio waves may affect aircraft na-
vigation and communication sys-
tems. Do not operate the
Intelligent Key while on an airplane.
Makesurethebuttonsarenot
operated unintentionally when the
unit is stored during a flight.
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, personal computers or
cellular phone.
The remote keyless entry function can operate
all door locks using the remote keyless entry
function of the Intelligent Key. The remote
keyless entry function can operate at a distance
of approximately 33 ft (10 m) from the vehicle.
(The operating distance depends upon the
conditions around the vehicle.)The remote keyless entry function will not
operate:
.When the Intelligent Key is not within the
operational range.
.When the doors are open or not closed
securely.
.When the Intelligent Key battery is dis-
charged.
The remote keyless entry function can also
operate the vehicle alarm.3-16

WARNING
.Make sure the hood is completely
closed and latched before driving.
Failure to do so could cause the
hood to fly open and result in an
accident.
.If you see steam or smoke coming
from the engine compartment, to
avoid injury do not open the hood.
SPA2412
When opening the hood:
1. Pull the hood release handle
*1
located
below the instrument panel; the hood will
then spring up slightly.
2. Pull the lever
*2
up at the front of the hood
with your fingertips.
3. Raise the hood.
4. Remove the support rod from the hood and
insert it into the slot

when removing or
resetting the support rod. Avoid direct
contact with the metal parts, as they may
be hot immediately after the engine hasbeen stopped.
When closing the hood:
1. Return the support rod to its original
position.
2. Slowly move the hood down to latch the
lock.

mishandled. Always stop engine
and do not smoke or allow open
flames or sparks near the vehicle
when refueling.
.Do not attempt to top off the fuel
tank after the fuel pump nozzle
shuts off automatically. Continued
refueling may cause fuel overflow,
resulting in fuel spray and possibly
a fire.
.Use only an original equipment type
fuel-filler cap as a replacement. It
has a built-in safety valve needed
for proper operation of the fuel
system and emission control sys-
tem. An incorrect cap can result in a
serious malfunction and possible
injury. It could also cause the mal-
function indicator light to come on.
.Never pour fuel into the throttle
body to attempt to start your vehi-
cle.
.Do not fill a portable fuel container
in the vehicle or trailer. Static elec-
tricity can cause an explosion of
flammable liquid, vapor or gas in
any vehicle or trailer. To reduce the
risk of serious injury or death whenfilling portable fuel containers:
— Always place the container on
the ground when filling.
— Do not use electronic devices
when filling.
— Keep the pump nozzle in contact
with the container while you are
filling it.
— Use only approved portable fuel
containers for flammable liquid.
CAUTION
.If fuel is spilled on the vehicle body,
flush it away with water to avoid
paint damage.
.Insert the cap straight into the fuel-
filler tube, then tighten until the
fuel-filler cap clicks. Failure to tight-
en the fuel-filler cap properly may
cause the
malfunction indicator
light (MIL) to illuminate. If the
light illuminates because the fuel-
filler cap is loose or missing, tighten
or install the cap and continue to
drive the vehicle. The
light
should turn off after a few driving
trips. If the
light does not turnoff after a few driving trips, have the
vehicle inspected by a NISSAN deal-
er.

“Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)”
in the “2. Instruments and controls”
section.

WARNING
Objects viewed in the outside mirror on
the passenger side are closer than they
appear. Be careful when moving to the
right. Using only this mirror could cause
an accident. Use the inside mirror or
glance over your shoulder to properly
judge distances to other objects.Adjusting outside mirrorsThe outside mirror control switch is located on
the left side of the instrument panel.The outside mirror will operate only when the
ignition switch is in the ACC or ON position.
Turn the switch right or left to select the right or

IN-CABIN MICROFILTERThe air conditioning system is equipped with an
in-cabin microfilter which collects dirt, pollen,
dust, etc. To make sure the air conditioner heats,
defogs, and ventilates efficiently, replace the
filter according to the specified maintenance log
shown in the NISSAN Service and Maintenance
Guide. To replace the filter, contact a NISSAN
dealer.
The filter should be replaced if the air flow
decreases significantly or if windows fog
up easily when operating the heater or air
conditioning system.SERVICING AIR CONDITIONERThe air conditioner system in your NISSAN is
charged with a refrigerant designed with the
environment in mind.This refrigerant will not
harm the earth’s ozone layer.Special char-
ging equipment and lubricant are required when
servicing your NISSAN air conditioner. Using
improper refrigerants or lubricants will cause
severe damage to your air conditioner system.
(See “CAPACITIES AND RECOMMENDED
FUEL/LUBRICANTS” in the “9. Technical and
consumer information” section for air conditioner
system refrigerant and lubricant recommenda-
tions.)

FM radio reception:
Range: FM range is normally limited to 25 to 30
miles (40 to 48 km) , with monaural (single
channel) FM having slightly more range than
stereo FM. External influences may sometimes
interfere with FM station reception even if the
FM station is within 25 miles (40 km). The
strength of the FM signal is directly related to the
distance between the transmitter and receiver.
FM signals follow a line-of-sight path, exhibiting
many of the same characteristics as light. For
example they will reflect off objects.
Fade and drift: As your vehicle moves away from
a station transmitter, the signals will tend to fade
and/or drift.Static and flutter: During signal interference from
buildings, large hills or due to antenna position,
usually in conjunction with increased distance
from the station transmitter, static or flutter can
be heard. This can be reduced by lowering the
treble setting to reduce the treble response.
Multipath reception: Because of the reflective
characteristics of FM signals, direct and re-
flected signals reach the receiver at the same
time. The signals may cancel each other,
resulting in momentary flutter or loss of sound.
AM radio reception:
AM signals, because of their low frequency, can
bend around objects and skip along the ground.
In addition, the signals can be bounced off the
ionosphere and bent back to earth. Because of
these characteristics. AM signals are also
subject to interference as they travel from
transmitter to receiver.
Fading: Occurs while the vehicle is passing
through freeway underpasses or in areas with
many tall buildings. It can also occur for several
seconds during ionospheric turbulence even in
areas where no obstacles exist.
Static: Caused by thunderstorms, electrical
power lines, electric signs and even traffic lights.Satellite radio reception:
When the satellite radio (if so equipped) is first
installed or the battery has been replaced, the
satellite radio may not work properly. This is not
a malfunction. Wait more than 10 minutes with
the satellite radio ON and the vehicle away from
any metal or large buildings for the satellite radio
to receive all of the necessary data.
The satellite radio mode will be skipped unless
an optional satellite receiver and antenna are
installed and an XM
®satellite radio service
subscription is active. Satellite radio is not
available in Alaska, Hawaii and Guam.
Satellite radio performance may be affected if
cargo carried on the roof blocks the satellite
radio signal.
If possible, do not put cargo near the satellite
antenna.
A buildup of ice on the satellite radio antenna
can affect satellite radio performance. Remove
the ice to restore satellite radio reception.
