The Intelligent Key system can be used to operate
all the doors (including the back door) locks using
the integrated keyfob function or pushing the re-
quest switch on the vehicle without taking the key
out from a pocket or purse. The operating environ-
ment and/or conditions may affect the Intelligent Key
system operation.
Be sure to read the following before using the Intel-
ligent 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 func-
tion properly.
The Intelligent Key is always communicating with
the vehicle as it receives radio waves. The Intelligent
Key system transmits weak radio waves. Environ-
mental 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 mobile telephone, transceiver, and CB ra-
dio.
•
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 elec-
tric appliance such as a personal computer.
•
When the vehicle is parked near a parking meter.
In such cases, correct the operating conditions be-
fore 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 approxi-
mately 2 years. If the battery is discharged, replace
it with a new one.
For information regarding replacement of a battery,
see “Intelligent Key battery” in the “8. Maintenance
and do-it-yourself” section.
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 Intelli-
gent Key. Then push the ignition switch while de-
pressing the brake pedal within 10 seconds after
the chime sound. (See “Push-button ignition switch”
in the “5. Starting and driving” section.)
Because the steering wheel is locked electrically,
unlocking the steering wheel with the ignition switch
in the “LOCK” position is impossible when the ve-
hicle 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 or qualified workshop.
CAUTION
•
Do not allow the Intelligent Key, which con-
tains electrical components, to come into con-
tact 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 un-
til 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 ex-
tended period in an area where temperatures
exceed 60°C (140°F).
