A key number plate is supplied with your keys.

Record the key number and keep the key num-

ber plate in a safe place except in the vehicle. If

you lose your keys, see an NISSAN dealer for

duplicates by using the key number.

A key number is necessary when you have lost

all keys and do not have one to duplicate from. If

you still have a key, your NISSAN dealer can

duplicate it.

NISSAN VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER

SYSTEM (NVIS) KEYS

You can only drive your vehicle using the master

or valet keys which are registered to the Nissan

Vehicle Immobilizer System components in your

vehicle. These keys have a transponder chip in

the key head.

The master key can be used for all the locks.

The valet key cannot be used for glove box lock.

To protect belongings when you leave a key with

someone, give them the valet key only.

Never leave these keys in the vehicle.

Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System KEY — Mas-

ter and Valet keys:

If you still have a key, the key number is not

necessary when you need extra Nissan Vehicle

Immobilizer System keys. Your NISSAN dealer

can duplicate it. As many as 5 NVIS keys can be

used with one vehicle. You should bring all NVIS

keys that you have to your NISSAN dealer for

registration. This is because the registration

process will erase the memory of all key codes

previously registered into the Nissan Vehicle

Immobilizer System. After the registration pro-

cess, these components will only recognize keys

coded into the Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer Sys-

tem (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.

Do not allow the immobilizer system key,

which contains an electrical transponder,

to come into contact with salt water. This

could affect system function.

WARNING

쐌 Always 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 uninten-

tionally opening the doors, and will

help keep out intruders.

쐌 Before opening any door, always

look for and avoid oncoming traffic.

쐌 Do not leave children unattended in-

side the vehicle. They could unknow-

ingly activate switches or controls.

Unattended children could become

involved in serious accidents.

LOCKING WITH KEY

The power door lock system allows you to lock

or unlock all doors simultaneously.

쐌 Turning the key toward the front of the vehicle

locks all doors.

쐌 Turning the key one time toward the rear of

the vehicle unlocks that door. From that

position returning the key to neutral (where

the key can only be removed and inserted)

and turning it toward the rear again within 5

seconds unlocks all doors.

LOCKING WITH INSIDE LOCK

KNOB

To individually lock the doors, move the inside

lock knob to the LOCK position, then close the

door. To unlock, pull the inside lock knob up to

the UNLOCK position.

When locking the door without a key, be

sure not to leave the key inside the vehicle.

LOCKING WITH POWER DOOR

LOCK SWITCH

Operating the power door lock switch will lock

or unlock all doors and the back door when the

driver or front passenger side door is closed.

Lockout protection

When the power door lock switch (driver or front

passenger) is moved to the LOCK position with

the key in the ignition and any door open, all

doors will lock and unlock automatically. This

helps to prevent the keys from being accidentally

locked inside the vehicle.

CHILD SAFETY REAR DOOR LOCK

Child safety locking helps prevent doors from

being opened accidentally, especially when

small children are in the vehicle.

When the lever is in the LOCK position, the

rear door can be opened only from the

outside.

It is possible to lock/unlock all doors (including

the back door) and activate the panic alarm by

using the keyfob from outside the vehicle.

Before locking the doors, make sure the

key is not left in the vehicle.

The keyfob can operate at a distance of approxi-

mately 10 m (33 ft) from the vehicle. (The

effective distance depends upon the conditions

around the vehicle.)

As many as five keyfobs can be used with one

vehicle. For information concerning the purchase

and use of additional keyfobs, contact your

NISSAN dealer.

The keyfob will not function when:

쐌 the battery is discharged,

쐌 the distance between the vehicle and the

keyfob is over 10 m (33 ft).

The panic alarm will not activate when the

key is in the ignition switch.

CAUTION

The following conditions or occurrences

will damage the keyfob.

쐌 Do not allow the keyfob to become

wet.

쐌 Do not drop the keyfob.

쐌 Do not strike the keyfob sharply

against another object.

쐌 Do not place the keyfob for an ex-

tended period in an area where tem-

peratures exceed 60°C (140°F).

If a keyfob is lost or stolen, NISSAN

recommends erasing the ID code of that

keyfob. This will prevent the keyfob

from unauthorized use to unlock the

vehicle. For information regarding the

erasing procedure, please contact a

NISSAN dealer.

OPENING FUEL FILLER LID

To open the fuel filler lid, pull up the opener lever.

To lock, close the fuel filler lid securely.

FUEL FILLER CAP

The fuel filler cap is a ratcheting type. Turn the

cap counterlockwise

쎻

to remove. Tighten the

cap clockwise

쎻

until ratcheting clicks, more

than twice, after refueling.

Put the fuel filler cap on the cap holder while

refueling.

WARNING

쐌 Gasoline is extremely flammable and

highly explosive under certain condi-

tions. You could be burned or seri-

ously injured if it is misused or mis-

handled. Always stop the engine and

do not smoke or allow open flames

or sparks near the vehicle when refu-

eling.

쐌 Fuel may be under pressure. Turn the

cap a third of a turn, and wait for any

hissing sound to stop to prevent fuel

from spraying out and possible per-

sonal injury. Then remove the cap.

쐌 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.

쐌 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 system. An in-

correct cap can result in a serious

malfunction and possible injury. It

could also cause the

malfunc-

tion indicator lamp to come on.

쐌 Do not fill a portable fuel container in

the vehicle or trailer. Static electricity

can cause an explosion of flammable

liquid, vapor or gas in any vehicle or

trailer. To reduce the risk of serious

injury or death when filling portable

fuel containers:

— Always place the container on the

ground when filling.

— Do not use electronic devices

while filling.

— Keep the pump nozzle in contact

with the container while you are

filling it.

— Use only approved portable fuel

containers for flammable liquid.

쐌 Never pour fuel into the throttle body

to attempt to start your vehicle.

CAUTION

쐌 If fuel is spilled on the car body, flush

it away with water to avoid paint

damage.

쐌 Tighten until the fuel filler cap clicks.

Failure to tighten the fuel filler cap

properly may cause the

mal-

function indicator lamp (MIL) to illu-

minate. If the

lamp illuminates

because the fuel filler cap is loose or

missing, tighten or install the cap and

continue to drive the vehicle. The

lamp should turn off after a few

driving trips. If the

lamp does

not turn off after a few driving trips,

have the vehicle inspected by an au-

thorized NISSAN dealer.

쐌 For additional information, see the

“Malfunction indicator lamp (MIL)” in

the “2. Instruments and controls”

section.
