3-8Pre-driving checks and adjustments
It is possible to lock/unlock all doors
(including the liftgate), and activate the
panic alarm by using the key fob from
outside the vehicle.
Before locking the doors, make sure the
key is not left in the vehicle.
The key fob can operate at a distance of
approximately 33 ft (10 m) from the
vehicle. (The effective distance depends
upon the conditions around the vehicle.)
As many as 4 key fobs can be used with
one vehicle. For information concerning
the purchase and use of additional key
fobs, contact a NISSAN dealer.
The key fob will not function:
.When the key fob is not within the
operational range.
. When the doors are open or not
closed securely.
. When the key is in the ignition switch.
. When the battery is discharged.
WARNING
The remote keyless entry key fob
transmits radio waves when the
buttons are pushed. The FAA advises
that the radio waves may affect
aircraft navigation and communica-
tion systems. Do not operate the key fob while on an airplane. Make sure
the buttons are not operated unin-
tentionally when the unit is stored
during a flight.
CAUTION
The following conditions or occur-
rences will damage the key fob.
.
Do not allow the key fob to
become wet.
. Do not drop the key fob.
. Do not strike the key fob sharply
against another object.
. If the outside temperature is be-
low 14°F (-10°C) degrees, the bat-
tery of key fob may not function
properly.
. Do not place the key fob for an
extended period in an area where
temperatures exceed 140°F
(60°C).
If a key fob is lost or stolen, NISSAN
recommends erasing the ID code of
that key fob. This will prevent the key
fob from unauthorized use to unlock
the vehicle. For information regard-
ing the erasing procedure, it is re-
commended that you visit a NISSAN dealer.

3-12Pre-driving checks and adjustments
.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 discharged, replace it with
a new one.
Since the Intelligent Key is continuously
receiving 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 “Intelligent Key battery
replacement” (P.8-23).
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, it is recom-
mended that you contact a NISSAN deal-
er.
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
Intelligent Key.
. Wetting may damage the Intelli-
gent Key. If the Intelligent Key
gets wet, immediately wipe until
it is completely dry.
. If the outside temperature is be-
low 14°F (−10°C) degrees, the bat-
tery of the Intelligent Key may not
function properly.
. Do not place the Intelligent Key
for an extended period in an area
where temperatures exceed
140°F (60°C).
. 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
magnetic field, such as a TV,
audio equipment, personal com-
puters or cellular phone.
If an Intelligent Key is lost or stolen,
NISSAN recommends erasing the ID code of that Intelligent Key from the vehicle.
This may prevent the unauthorized use of
the Intelligent Key to operate the vehicle.
For information regarding the erasing
procedure, it is recommended that you
contact a NISSAN dealer.
The Intelligent Key function can be dis-
abled. For information about disabling
the Intelligent Key function, it is recom-
mended that you contact a NISSAN deal-
er.
