Nissan Pathfinder Hybrid (2015 year). Instruction - part 12

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 always communicating with
the vehicle as it receives radio waves. The Intel-
ligent Key system transmits weak radio waves.
Environmental conditions may interfere with the
operation of the Intelligent Key system under the
following operating conditions:

● When operating near a location where

strong radio waves are transmitted, such as
a TV tower, power station and broadcasting
station.

● When in possession of wireless equipment,

such as a cellular telephone, transceiver,
and CB radio.

● When the Intelligent Key is in contact with or

covered by metallic materials.

● When any type of radio wave remote control

is used nearby.

● When the Intelligent Key is placed near an

electric appliance such as a personal com-
puter.

● When the vehicle is parked near a parking

meter.

In such cases, correct the operating conditions
before using the Intelligent Key function or use
the mechanical key.

Although the life of the battery varies depending
on the operating conditions, the battery’s life is
approximately 2 years. If the battery is dis-
charged, replace it with a new one.

When the Intelligent Key battery is low, an indi-
cator illuminates in the Vehicle Information Dis-
play. For additional information, refer to “Vehicle
Information Display” in the “Instruments and con-
trols” section of this manual.

Since the Intelligent Key is continuously receiving
radio waves, if the key is left near equipment
which transmits strong radio waves, such as sig-
nals from a TV and personal computer, the bat-
tery life may become shorter.

For additional information regarding replacement
of a battery, refer to “Battery replacement” in the
“Maintenance and do-it-yourself” section of this
manual.

As many as 4 Intelligent Keys can be registered
and used with one vehicle. For information about
the purchase and use of additional Intelligent
Keys, contact a NISSAN dealer.

CAUTION

Listed below are conditions or occur-
rences which will damage the Intelligent
Key:

● Do not allow the Intelligent Key, which

contains

electrical

components,

come into contact with water or salt
water. This could affect the system
function.

● Do not drop the Intelligent Key.
● Do not strike the Intelligent Key sharply

against another object.

● Do not change or modify the Intelligent

Key.

● Wetting may damage the Intelligent

Key. If the Intelligent Key gets wet, im-
mediately wipe until it is completely dry.

● Do not place the Intelligent Key for an

extended period in an area where tem-
peratures 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.

3-8

Pre-driving checks and adjustments

If an Intelligent Key is lost or stolen, NISSAN
recommends erasing the ID code of that Intelli-
gent Key from the vehicle. This may prevent the
unauthorized use of the Intelligent Key to operate
the vehicle. For information regarding the erasing
procedure, contact 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

䊊

When the Intelligent Key battery is discharged or
strong radio waves are present near the operat-
ing 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

䊊

If the Intelligent Key is too close to the door glass,
handle or rear bumper, the request switches may
not function.

When the Intelligent Key is within the operating
range, it is possible for anyone, even someone
who does not carry the Intelligent Key, to push the
request switch to lock/unlock the doors.

switch, 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
