Nissan intelligent key® system
Pre-driving checks and adjustments 3-7
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, a yellow indicator illuminates with the mes- sage “Key Battery Low” in the vehicle infor- mation display. For additional information, see “Vehicle information display 7 inch (18 cm) Type A” (P. 2-22) or “Vehicle information display 12.3 inch (31 cm) Type B” (P. 2-46). 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. 8-25). 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 lock sensor O1.
3-8 Pre-driving checks and adjustments
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 lock sensor O1 . If the Intelligent Key is too close to the door glass, handle or rear bumper, the lock sen- sors 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 touch the lock sensor and the capacity sensor to lock/unlock the doors. DOOR LOCKS/UNLOCKS
PRECAUTION • Do not touch the door handle lock sensor
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 lock sensor, 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 touch- ing the door handle lock sensor. The door will be unlocked but will not open. Release the door handle once and pull it again to open the door.

3-18 Pre-driving checks and adjustments
The button will be on the NISSAN Intelligent Key® if the vehicle has Remote Engine Start. This feature allows the engine to start from outside the vehicle. Vehicles with an automatic climate control system may default to either a heating or cooling mode depending on outside and cabin temperatures. For additional infor- mation, see “Remote Engine Start with In- telligent Climate Control” (P. 4-34). Laws in some local communities may re- strict or prohibit the use of Remote Engine Start, or the amount of time a parked ve- hicle engine may idle. For example, some laws require a person using Remote Engine
Start to have the vehicle in view or may restrict idling time except in freezing tem- peratures. Check local regulations for any requirements. Other conditions may affect the function of the Remote Engine Start feature. For addi- tional information, see “Conditions the Re- mote Engine Start will not work” (P. 3-21). Other conditions can affect the perfor- mance of the Intelligent Key transmitter. For additional information, see “NISSAN In- telligent Key® system” (P. 3-7). REMOTE ENGINE START OPERATING RANGE
WARNING
• To help avoid risk of injury or death
through unintended operation of the vehicle and/or its systems, including entrapment in windows or inadver- tent door lock activation, do not leave children, people who require the assistance of others or pets unat- tended in your vehicle. Additionally, the temperature inside a closed ve- hicle on a warm day can quickly be- come high enough to cause a signifi- cant risk of injury or death to people and pets.
• Do not use Remote Engine Start in closed spaces such as a garage. Do not breathe exhaust gases; they con- tain colorless and odorless carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is dan- gerous. It can cause unconscious- ness or death.
CAUTION When the Intelligent Key battery is dis- charged or other strong radio wave sources are present near the operating location, the Intelligent Key operating range becomes narrower, and the Intel- ligent Key may not function properly.
The Remote Engine Start function can only be used when the Intelligent Key is within the specified operating range from the vehicle. The Remote Engine Start operating range is approximately 197 ft (60 m) from the vehicle.
