may affect the Intelligent Key system operation.
Be sure to read the following before using the
Intelligent Key system.
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.
. When the outside temperature is extremely
low, the Intelligent Key system may not
function properly.
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 broadcasting station.
. 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.
. When the Intelligent Key is placed near an electric
appliance such as a personal computer.
. 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 depending on the
operating conditions, the battery’s life is approximately
2 years. If the battery is discharged, replace it with a
new one.
For information regarding replacement of a battery, see
“Intelligent Key battery” (P.8-18).
Since the Intelligent Key is continuously receiving radio
waves, if the key is left near equipment which transmits
strong radio waves, such as signals from a TV and
personal computer, the battery life may become
shorter.
When the battery is discharged, firmly apply the foot
brake and touch the ignition switch with the Intelligent
Key. Then push the ignition switch while depressing
the brake pedal within 10 seconds after the chime
sound. (See “Push-button ignition switch” (P.5-4).)
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 completely discharged. Pay special attention
that the vehicle battery is not completely discharged.
As many as 4 Intelligent Keys can be used with one
vehicle. For information about the purchase and use of
additional Intelligent Keys, 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, immediately
wipe until it is completely dry.
. If the outside temperature is below −108C
(14 8F), the battery of the Intelligent Key may
not function properly.
. Do not place the Intelligent Key for an
extended period in an area where tempera-
tures exceed 608C (1408F).
. Do not attach the Intelligent Key with a key
holder that contains a magnet.
. Do not place the Intelligent Key near equip-
ment that produces a magnetic field, such as
a TV, audio equipment and personal compu-
ters or cellular phones.
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 unauthor-
ized use of the Intelligent Key to operate the vehicle.
For information regarding the erasing procedure,
contact a NISSAN dealer.
The Intelligent Key function can be disabled. For
information about disabling the Intelligent Key function,
contact a NISSAN dealer.
