Get Pre-driving checks and adjustments Guide for Nissan Qashqai SUV 2020

KEYS

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, it is

recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer

for duplicates by using the key number.

NISSAN does not record any key numbers

so it is very important to keep track of

your key number plate.

CAUTION

Do not allow the NISSAN Vehicle

Immobilizer System key, which con-

tains an electrical transponder, to

come into contact with water or salt

water. This could affect the system

function.

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, it

can be duplicated without knowing the

key number.

ponents. As many as 4 master keys can

be registered and used with one vehicle.

The new keys must be registered by a

NISSAN dealer prior to use with the

master of your vehicle. Since the registra-

tion process requires erasing all memory

in the master components when register-

ing new keys, be sure to take all master

keys that you have to the NISSAN dealer.

CAUTION

WARNING

Always carry the mechanical key

installed in the Intelligent Key.

.

Always have the doors locked

while driving. Along with the use

of seat belts, this provides great-

er 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 unin-

tentionally opening the doors,

and will help keep out intruders.

.

Before opening any door, always

look for and avoid oncoming

traffic.

LOCKING WITH KEY

To help avoid risk of injury or

death through unintended opera-

tion of the vehicle and or its

systems, including entrapment

in windows or inadvertent door

lock activation, do not leave chil-

dren, people who require the

assistance of others or pets un-

attended in your vehicle. Addi-

tionally, the temperature inside a

closed vehicle on a warm day can

quickly become high enough to

cause a significant risk of injury

or death to people and pets.

The power door lock system allows you to

lock or unlock all doors simultaneously.

.

Turning the driver’s door key cylinder

to the front of the vehicle will lock all

doors and the liftgate.

Turning the driver’s door key cylinder

once to the rear of the vehicle

will

unlock the driver’s door. After return-

ing the key to the neutral position,

turning it to the rear again within 5

seconds will unlock all doors and the

liftgate.

You can switch the lock system to the

mode that allows you to open all the

doors when the key is turned once.

WARNING

To avoid risk of injury or death, do

not use the remote engine start

function when the vehicle is in an

enclosed area such as a garage.

REMOTE ENGINE START OPERATING

RANGE

The remote engine start function can

only be used when the Intelligent Key is

within the specified operating range from

the vehicle.

JVP0446X

When the Intelligent Key battery is dis-

charged or other strong radio wave

sources are present near the operating

location, the Intelligent Key operating

range becomes narrower, and the Intelli-

gent Key may not function properly.

The remote engine start operating range

is approximately 197 ft (60 m) from the

vehicle.

Some systems, such as the air conditioner

system, will turn on during a remote

engine start, if the system was on the

last time the ignition switch was turned

off.

Laws in some local communities may

restrict the use of remote engine starters.

For example, some laws require a person

using remote engine start to have the

vehicle in view. Check local regulations for

any requirements.
