CHILD SAFETY REAR DOOR
LOCK
Child safety locks help prevent the rear
doors from being opened accidentally, es-
pecially when small children are in the ve-
hicle.
The child safety lock levers are located on
the edge of the rear doors.
When the lever is in the lock position, the
door can only be opened from the out-
side.It is possible to lock/unlock all doors and
activate the panic alarm by using the key-
fob.
Be sure to remove the key from the
vehicle before locking the doors.
The keyfob can operate at a distance of
approximately 33 ft (10 m) from the vehicle.
The effective distance depends on the con-
ditions around the vehicle.
As many as four keyfobs can be used with
one vehicle. For information concerning the
purchase and use of additional keyfobs,
contact an authorized NISSAN dealer.
