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.

When operating near a location where  
strong radio waves are transmitted, such  
as a TV tower, power station and broad-  
casting station.  
WARNING:  
.
When in possession of wireless equipment,  
such as a cellular telephone, transceiver,  
and CB radio.  
.
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 the Intelligent Key is in contact with  
or covered by metallic materials.  
When any type of radio wave remote  
control is used nearby.  
.
When the Intelligent Key is placed near an  
electric appliance such as a personal com-  
puter.  
.
When the vehicle is parked near a parking  
meter.  
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 the  
door 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 “Intelligent Key battery” (P.8-31).  
Be sure to read the following before using the  
3-12 Pre-driving checks and adjustments  
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.  
For models with a steering wheel lock mechan-  
ism: Because the steering wheel is locked  
electrically, unlocking the steering wheel with  
the ignition switch in the “LOCK” position is  
impossible when the vehicle battery is com-  
pletely discharged. Pay special attention that  
the vehicle battery is not completely dis-  
charged.  
.
.
Do not attach the Intelligent Key with a  
key holder that contains a magnet.  
Do not place the Intelligent Key near  
equipment that produces  
a magnetic  
field, such as a TV, audio equipment and  
personal computers.  
If an Intelligent Key is lost or stolen, NISSAN  
recommends erasing the ID code of that  
Intelligent Key from the vehicle. This may  
prevent the unauthorized use of the Intelligent  
Key to operate the vehicle. For information  
regarding the erasing procedure, contact  
a
NISSAN dealer.  
As many as 4 Intelligent Keys can be used with  
one vehicle. For information about the pur-  
chase and use of additional Intelligent Keys,  
contact a NISSAN dealer.  
For information regarding replacement of a  
battery, see “Battery” (P.8-29).  
The Intelligent Key function can be disabled.  
For information about disabling the Intelligent  
Key function, contact a NISSAN dealer.  
CAUTION:  
.
Do not allow the Intelligent Key, which  
contains electrical components, to come  
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  
Key.  
Wetting may damage the Intelligent Key.  
If the Intelligent Key gets wet, immedi-  
ately wipe until it is completely dry.  
.
.
Do not place the Intelligent Key for an  
extended period in an area where tem-  
peratures exceed 60°C (140°F).  
If the outside temperature is below −10°C  
(14°F), the battery of the Intelligent Key  
may not function properly.
