Nissan Sentra (2024 year). Manual in english

CAUTION

Do not allow the immobilizer system
key, which contains an electrical tran-
sponder, to come into contact with wa-
ter or salt water. This could affect sys-
tem function.

When the doors are locked using one of the
following methods, the doors cannot be
opened using the inside or outside door
handles. The doors must be unlocked to
open the doors.

WARNING

•

Always have the doors locked while
driving. Along with the use of seat
belts, this provides greater safety in
the event of an accident by helping to
prevent persons from being thrown
from the vehicle. This also helps keep
children and others from uninten-
tionally opening the doors, and will
help keep out intruders.

•

Before opening any door, always look
for and avoid oncoming traffic.

•

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 assis-
tance of others or pets unattended in
your vehicle. Additionally, the tem-
perature inside a closed vehicle on a
warm day can quickly become high
enough to cause a significant risk of
injury or death to people and pets.

LOCKING WITH KEY

To lock the door using the mechanical key,
turn the key toward the rear of the vehicle

. This will only lock the corresponding

door and will not activate the security sys-
tem. To arm the security system, press the

button on the Intelligent Key.

To unlock the corresponding door using
the mechanical key, turn the key toward
the front of the vehicle

. This will only

unlock the corresponding door and will not
disarm the security system.

For additional information, see “Security
systems” (P. 2-54).

CHILD SAFETY REAR DOOR LOCK

Child safety locks help prevent the rear
doors from being opened accidentally, es-
pecially when small children are in the
vehicle.

The child safety lock levers are located on

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.

•

Make sure to engage the P (Park) po-
sition and apply the parking brake
when parking your vehicle, entering
or exiting the vehicle or loading lug-
gage. Failure to do so could cause the
vehicle to move or roll away unex-
pectedly and result in serious per-
sonal injury or property damage.

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 always communicat-
ing with the vehicle as it receives radio
waves. The Intelligent Key system trans-
mits weak radio waves. Environmental
conditions may interfere with the opera-
tion 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 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.

LPD3085

NISSAN INTELLIGENT KEY®

3-6

Pre-driving checks and adjustments

• 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.

Since the Intelligent Key is continuously 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 information regarding replacement of a
battery, see “Battery replacement” (P. 8-23).

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.

CAUTION

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

•

Do not allow the Intelligent Key,
which contains electrical compo-
nents, to come into contact with wa-
ter 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 Intelli-
gent Key.

•

Wetting may damage the Intelligent
Key. If the Intelligent Key gets wet,
immediately wipe until it is com-
pletely dry.

•

Do not place the Intelligent Key for an
extended period in an area where
temperatures 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.

If an Intelligent Key is lost or stolen, NISSAN
recommends erasing the ID code of that
Intelligent Key from the vehicle. This may
prevent the unauthorized use of the Intelli-
gent Key to operate the vehicle. For infor-
mation regarding the erasing procedure, it
is recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer.

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.

The following features may be affected
when the Remote Engine Start feature is
used:
• Vehicles with a manual climate control

system will default to the last used heat-
ing or cooling mode.

• Vehicles

with

automatic

climate

control system may default to either a
heating or cooling mode depending on
outside and cabin temperatures. For ad-
ditional information, see “Remote Engine
Start with Intelligent Climate Control”
(P. 4-42).

Laws in some local communities may re-
strict or prohibit the use of the Remote
Engine Start, or the amount of time a
parked 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. 3-19).

Other conditions can affect the perfor-
mance of the Intelligent Key transmitter.

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.

(P. 3-18). Run time will be calculated as
follows:
• The first 10-minute run time will start

when the Remote Engine Start function is
performed.

• The second 10 minutes will start after the

first Remote Engine Start request ends.
For example, if the engine has been run-
ning for 5 minutes, and 10 minutes are
added, the engine will run for a total of 20
minutes.

• Extending engine run time will bring you

to the two Remote Engine Start limit.

A maximum of two Remote Engine Starts,
or a single start with an extension, are al-
lowed between ignition cycles.

The vehicle needs to be driven at speeds of
4 mph (7 km/h) before the Remote Engine

FUEL-FILLER CAP

WARNING

•

Gasoline is extremely flammable and
highly explosive under certain condi-
tions. You could be burned or seri-
ously injured if it is misused or mis-
handled. Always stop the engine and
do not smoke or allow open flames
or sparks near the vehicle when
refueling.

•

Do not attempt to top off the fuel
tank after the fuel pump nozzle
shuts off automatically. Continued
refueling may cause fuel overflow,
resulting in fuel spray and possibly a
fire.

•

Use only an original equipment type
fuel-filler cap as a replacement. It has
a built-in safety valve needed for
proper operation of the fuel system
and emission control system. An in-
correct cap can result in a serious
malfunction and possible injury. It
could also cause the

Malfunc-

tion Indicator Light (MIL) to come on.

•

Never pour fuel into the throttle body
to attempt to start your vehicle.

•

Do not fill a portable fuel container in
the vehicle or trailer. Static electricity
can cause an explosion of flammable
liquid, vapor or gas in any vehicle or
trailer. To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death when filling portable
fuel containers:

–

Always place the container on the

ground when filling.

–

Do not use electronic devices

when filling.

–

Keep the pump nozzle in contact

with the container while you are
filling it.

–

Use only approved portable fuel

containers for flammable liquid.

CAUTION

•

Do not use E–15 or E–85 fuel in your
vehicle. For additional information,
see “Fuel recommendation” (P. 10-4).

•

The LOOSE FUEL CAP warning mes-
sage will appear if the fuel-filler cap
is not properly tightened. It may take
a few driving trips for the message to
be displayed. Failure to tighten the
fuel-filler cap properly after the
LOOSE FUEL CAP warning message
appears may cause the

Mal-

function

Indicator

Light

(MIL)

illuminate.

•

Failure to tighten the fuel-filler cap
properly may cause the

Mal-

function Indicator Light (MIL) to illu-
minate. If the

light illuminates

because the fuel-filler cap is loose or
missing, tighten or install the cap and
continue to drive the vehicle. The

light should turn off after a few

driving trips. If the

light does not

turn off after a few driving trips, have
the vehicle inspected. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.

•

For additional information, see “Mal-
function Indicator Light (MIL)” (P. 2-10).

•

If fuel is spilled on the vehicle body,
flush it away with water to avoid
paint damage.
