Be sure to remove the key from the vehicle before locking the doors.

The keyfob can operate at a distance of approximately 33 ft (10 m) from the vehicle. The effective distance depends on the conditions around the vehicle.

As many as 5 keyfobs can be used with one vehicle. For information concerning the purchase and use of additional keyfobs, contact a NISSAN dealer.

The keyfob will not function when:

the battery is discharged
the distance between the vehicle and the keyfob is over 33 ft (10 m)

The panic alarm will not activate when the key is in the ignition switch.

Do not drop the keyfob.
Do not strike the keyfob sharply against another object.
Do not change or modify the keyfob.
Wetting may damage the keyfob. If the keyfob gets wet, immediately wipe until it is completely dry.

Do not attach the keyfob with a key holder that contains a magnet.
Do not place the keyfob near equipment that produces a magnetic field, such as a TV, audio equipment and personal computers.

If a keyfob is lost or stolen, NISSAN recommends erasing the ID code of that keyfob.
