NISSAN INTELLIGENT KEY® SYSTEM
WARNING •
Radio waves could adversely affect electric medical equipment. Those who use a pacemaker should contact the electric medical equipment manufacturer for the possible influ- ences before use.
•The Intelligent Key transmits radio waves when the buttons are pressed. The FAA advises the radio waves may affect aircraft navigation and com- munication systems. Do not operate the Intelligent Key while on an air- plane. Make sure the buttons are not operated unintentionally when the unit is stored for a flight.
The Intelligent Key system can operate all the door locks using the remote control function or pushing the request switch (if so equipped) 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. 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.
The Intelligent Key is capable of receiving and transmitting radio waves. The Intelli- gent Key system transmits weak radio waves from various distances. Environ- mental conditions may interfere with the operation of the Intelligent Key system un- der 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.
• When in possession of wireless equip- ment, such as a cellular telephone, trans- ceiver or a CB radio.
• When the Intelligent Key is in contact with or covered by metallic materials.
• When any type of radio wave remote con- trol 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 condi- tions before using the Intelligent Key func- tion or use the mechanical key. Although the life of the battery varies de- pending on the operating conditions, the battery’s life is approximately two years. If the battery is discharged, replace it with a new one. When the Intelligent Key battery is low, the “Key Battery Low” indicator illuminates in the vehicle information display. For addi- tional information, see “Vehicle information display” (P. 2-20). Since the Intelligent Key is capable of re- ceiving radio waves, if the key is left near equipment which transmits strong radio waves, such as signals from a TV and per- sonal computer, the battery life may be- come shorter. For additional information, see “Battery re- placement” (P. 8-23). Pay special attention that the vehicle bat- tery is not completely discharged. As many as four Intelligent Keys can be registered and used with one vehicle. For information about the purchase and use of additional Intelligent Keys, it is recom- mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer.
OPERATING RANGE The Intelligent Key functions can only be used when the Intelligent Key is within the specified operating range from the request switch O1 (if so equipped). When the Intelligent Key battery is dis- charged or strong radio waves are present near the operating location, the Intelligent Key operating range becomes narrower, and the Intelligent Key may not function properly. The operating range is within 31.5 in (80 cm) from each request switch O1 (if so equipped).
If the Intelligent Key is too close to the door glass or handle, the request switches (if so equipped) may not function. When the Intelligent Key is within the oper- ating range, it is possible for anyone, even someone who does not carry the Intelli- gent Key, to push the request switch (if so equipped) to lock/unlock the doors.
DOOR LOCKS/UNLOCKS PRECAUTION • Do not push the door handle request
switch (if so equipped) with the Intelligent Key held in your hand as illustrated. The close distance to the door handle will cause the Intelligent Key system to have difficulty recognizing that the Intelligent Key is outside the vehicle.
• After locking with the door handle re- quest switch (if so equipped), verify the doors are securely locked by testing them.
• To prevent the Intelligent Key from being left inside the vehicle, make sure you carry the Intelligent Key with you and then lock the doors.
• Do not pull the door handle before push- ing the door handle request switch (if so equipped). The door will be unlocked but will not open. Release the door handle once and pull it again to open the door.
