NISSAN ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM (NATS) Key

Your vehicle can only be driven with the keys specific to your vehicle. Only NISSAN Anti-Theft System (NATS) keys can be used with your vehicle (see “Security system” (P.153)).

INTELLIGENT KEY (where fitted)

Your vehicle can only be driven with the Intelligent Keys which are registered to your vehicle’s Intelligent Key system components and NATS components. As many as four Intelligent Keys can be registered and used with one vehicle. New keys must be registered by a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop prior to use with the Intelligent Key system and NATS of your vehicle. Since the registration process requires erasing all memory in the Intelligent Key components when registering new keys, be sure to take all Intelligent Keys that you have to the NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.

*: Immobiliser

CAUTION

• Be sure to carry the Intelligent Key with you. Do not leave the vehicle with the Intelligent Key inside.
• Be sure to carry the Intelligent Key with you when driving. The Intelligent Key is a precision device with a built-in transmitter. To avoid damaging it, please note the following:
  • The Intelligent Key is water resistant; however, wetting may damage it. If it gets wet, immediately wipe until completely dry.
  • Do not allow the Intelligent Key to come into contact with water or salt water.
  • Do not bend, drop or strike it against another object.
  • Do not place the Intelligent Key for extended periods where temperatures exceed 60°C (140°F).
  • Do not change or modify the Intelligent Key.
  • Do not use a magnetic key holder.
  • 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. Contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.

KEY NUMBER

A key number plate is supplied with your key. Record the key number on the “Security Information” page at the end of this manual and keep it in a safe place, but not in the vehicle. The key can only be duplicated using an original key or the original key number.

If the key is lost, or you need extra keys, provide an original key or the key number to a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop. NISSAN does not record key numbers, so it is very important that you keep a record of your key number.

NEW KEYS

As many as four NATS keys can be registered to one vehicle at any one time. New keys must be registered to the NATS components of your vehicle by a NISSAN dealer.

When registering a new key, you are requested to bring all of your NATS keys with you because the registration process will erase and reprogram the memory of your vehicle’s NATS components.

NOTE: A key number is only required if you have lost all of your keys and do not have one to duplicate from.

EMERGENCY/MECHANICAL KEY

The emergency key can be used to unlock the driver’s door in emergency situations (e.g. Intelligent Key dead battery).

• To remove the mechanical key, release the lock knob at 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 doors (see “Doors” (P.146)).

NOTE: For the driver’s side door, it is normal for the key not to go all the way into the key cylinder.

REMOTE OPENING OR CLOSING WINDOWS

The windows can be opened or closed with the key. This function will not operate while the window timer is activated or the windows need to be initialised.

Opening
To open the windows, push and hold the UNLOCK button on the key for about 3 seconds after the door is unlocked. To stop opening, release the UNLOCK button.

If the window open operation is stopped mid-operation while pushing the UNLOCK button, release and push the button again until all windows are opened completely.

Closing
To close the windows, push and hold the LOCK button on the key for about 3 seconds after the door is locked. To stop closing, release the LOCK button.

If the window closing operation is stopped mid-operation while pushing the LOCK button, release and push the button again until all windows are closed completely.

CAUTION

Always ensure that all windows are fully closed after remote operation.
