interference away from the NATS key.
If the light remains on and/or the engine does
not start, contact a NISSAN dealer for NATS
service as soon as possible. Be sure to bring all
NATS keys that you have when visiting a NISSAN
dealer for service.

If this procedure allows the engine to start, NISSAN
recommends placing the registered NATS key sepa-
rate from other devices to avoid interference.
