A key number plate is supplied with your
keys. Record the key number and keep it in
a safe place (such as your wallet), not in the
vehicle. If you lose your keys, see an autho-
rized NISSAN dealer for duplicates by using
the key number. NISSAN does not record
key numbers so it is very important to keep
track of your key number plate.
A key number is only necessary when you
have lost all keys and do not have one to
duplicate from. If you still have a key, your
authorized NISSAN dealer can duplicate it.
Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer Sys-
tem (NVIS) keys (if so equipped)
You can only start your vehicle using the
keys that are supplied by your NISSAN
dealer. Each key has a transponder chip in
the key head that is electronically registered
to your vehicle's NVIS. These keys can be
used for all of the key locks on your vehicle.
Never leave these keys in the vehicle.
New or duplicate keys can only be ob-
tained from your NISSAN dealer and
must be registered to the Nissan Vehicle
Immobilizer System (NVIS) components
in your vehicle by an authorized NISSAN
dealer.As many as 5 NVIS keys can be used with
one vehicle. At this time, you should bring
all NVIS keys that you have to your autho-
rized NISSAN dealer for registration. This is
because the registration process will erase
the memory of all key codes previously
registered into the Nissan Vehicle Immobi-
lizer System. After the registration process,
these components will only recognize keys
coded into the Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer
System (NVIS) during registration. Any key
that is not given to your dealer at the time of
registration will no longer be able to start
your vehicle.

WARNING
cAlways have the doors locked while
driving. Along with the use of seat
belts, this provides greater safety in
the event of an accident by helping
to prevent persons from being
thrown from the vehicle. This also
helps keep children and others from
unintentionally opening the doors,
and will help keep out intruders.
cBefore opening any door, always
look for and avoid oncoming traffic.
c
Do not leave children unattended in-
side the vehicle. They could unknow-
ingly activate switches and controls.
Unattended children could become
involved in serious accidents.
LOCKING WITH KEY
Manual
To lock the door, turn the key towards the
front of the vehicle. To unlock, turn it to-
wards the rear.
Power (if so equipped)
If your vehicle is equipped with the theft
warning system,the power door lock sys-
tem allows you to lock or unlock all doors
simultaneously.
Turning the front door key to the front of the
vehicle locks all doors.
Turning the front door key one time to the
rear of the vehicle unlocks the corresponding
door. From that position, returning the key to
