KEYS
NISSAN INTELLIGENT KEY® Your vehicle can only be driven with the Intelligent Keys which are registered to your vehicle’s Intelligent Key system com- ponents and NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System components.
Never leave these keys in the vehicle. As many as four Intelligent Keys can be registered and used with one vehicle. The new keys must be registered by a NISSAN dealer prior to use with the Intelligent Key system and NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System of your vehicle. Since the registra- tion process requires erasing all memory in the Intelligent Key components when reg- istering new keys, be sure to take all Intelli- gent Keys that you have to the NISSAN dealer.
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 recom- mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for duplicates by using the key number. NISSAN does not record key numbers so it is very important to keep track of your key number plate. 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.
CAUTION Listed below are conditions or occur- rences which will damage the Intelli- gent Key: •
Do not allow the Intelligent Key, which contains electrical compo- nents, to come into contact with wa- ter or salt water. This could affect the system function.

Pre-driving checks and adjustments
•Wetting may damage the Intelligent Key. If the Intelligent Key gets wet, immediately wipe until it is com- pletely dry.
•Do not place the Intelligent Key for an extended period in an area where temperatures exceed 140°F (60°C).
•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 unau- thorized use of the Intelligent Key to operate the vehicle. For information re- garding the erasing procedure, it is rec- ommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer.
Mechanical key
The Intelligent Key contains the mechani- cal key. To remove the mechanical key, release the lock knob on the back of the Intelligent Key. To install the mechanical key, firmly insert it into the Intelligent Key until the lock knob returns to the lock position. Use the mechanical key to lock or unlock the driver's door, tailgate and glove box.
CAUTION Always carry the mechanical key in- stalled in the Intelligent Key slot.
For additional information, see “Doors” (P. 3-4), “Tailgate” (P. 3-27) or “Glove box” (P. 2-65).
Valet hand-off (if so equipped) When you have to leave a key with a valet, give them the Intelligent Key itself and keep the mechanical key with you to protect your belongings. To prevent the glove box from being opened during valet hand-off, follow the procedure below. 1. Remove the mechanical key from the
Intelligent Key. 2. Lock the glove box (if so equipped) with
the mechanical key. 3. Hand the Intelligent Key to the valet and
keep the mechanical key with you. For additional information, see “Glove box” (P. 2-65).

NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System keys Additional or replacement keys: If you still have a key, the key number is not necessary when you need extra NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System keys. Your ex- isting key can be duplicated without know- ing the key number. As many as four NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System keys can be used with one vehicle. You should bring all NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer Sys- tem keys that you have to the NISSAN dealer for registration. This is because the registration process will erase the memory of all key codes previously registered into the NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System. Af- ter the registration process, these compo- nents will only recognize keys coded into the NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System during registration. Any key that is not given to the dealer at the time of registra- tion will no longer be able to start your vehicle.
CAUTION Do not allow the immobilizer system key, which contains an electrical tran- sponder, to come into contact with wa- ter or salt water. This could affect sys- tem function.
