INTELLIGENT KEY SYSTEM

When operating near a location where

WARNING:

strong radio waves are transmitted, such

as a TV tower, power station and broad-

casting station.

IMPACT SENSING DOOR LOCK RELEAS-

ING MECHANISM (if equipped)

All doors will be unlocked automatically when

the impact sensors sense an impact while the

ignition switch is in the “ON” position.

The impact sensing door lock releasing me-

chanism may not function depending on the

force of the impact.

.

Radio waves could adversely affect elec-

tric medical equipment. Those who use a

pacemaker should contact the electric

medical equipment manufacturer for

the possible influences before use.

The Intelligent Key transmits radio waves

when the buttons are pushed. The radio

waves may affect aircraft navigation and

communication systems. Do not operate

the Intelligent Key while on an airplane.

Make sure the buttons are not operated

unintentionally when the unit is stored

during a flight.

When in possession of wireless equipment,

such as a cellular telephone, transceiver,

and CB radio.

.

When the Intelligent Key is in contact with

or covered by metallic materials.

When any type of radio wave remote

control is used nearby.

CHILD SAFETY REAR DOOR LOCKS

When the Intelligent Key is placed near an

electric appliance such as a personal com-

puter.

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 depend-

ing on the operating conditions, the battery’s

life is approximately 2 years. If the battery is

discharged, replace it with a new one.

The Intelligent Key system can operate all

doors and the back door using the remote

controller function or pushing the request

switch on the vehicle without taking the key

out from a pocket or purse. The operating

environment and/or conditions may affect the

Intelligent Key system operation.

For information regarding replacement of a

battery, see “Battery” (P.8-18).

Be sure to read the following before using the

SPA2745

Intelligent Key system.

Since the Intelligent Key is continuously receiv-

ing radio waves, if the key is left near equip-

ment which transmits strong radio waves, such

as signals from a TV and personal computer,

the battery life may become shorter.

Because the steering wheel is locked electri-

cally, unlocking the steering wheel with the

ignition switch in the “LOCK” position is im-

possible when the vehicle battery is completely

discharged. Pay special attention that the

vehicle battery is not completely discharged.

The child safety rear door locks help prevent

rear doors from being opened accidentally,

especially when small children are in the

vehicle.

When the levers are in the lock position , the

child safety rear door locks engage and the

rear doors can only be opened by the outside

door handles.

CAUTION:

.

Be sure to carry the Intelligent Key with

you when operating the vehicle.

Never leave the Intelligent Key in the

vehicle when you leave the vehicle.

The Intelligent Key is always communicating

with the vehicle as it receives radio waves. The

Intelligent Key system transmits weak radio

waves. Environmental conditions may interfere

with the operation of the Intelligent Key system

under the following operating conditions.

To disengage, move the levers to the unlock

position

.

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, contact a NISSAN dealer.

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

Wetting may damage the Intelligent Key.

If the Intelligent Key gets wet, immedi-

ately wipe until it is completely dry.

If the outside temperature is below −10°C

(14°F), the battery of the Intelligent Key

may not function properly.

Do not place the Intelligent Key for an

extended period in an area where tem-

peratures exceed 60°C (140°F).
