Precautions For Intelligent Key System

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Nissan Murano. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

In the Intelligent Key system, the transponder [the chip for NVIS (NATS) ID verification] is integrated into the Intelligent Key. (For the conventional models, it is integrated into the mechanical key.) Therefore, the mechanical key cannot perform the ID verification, and thus it cannot start the engine. Instead, the NVIS (NATS) ID verification can be performed by inserting the Intelligent Key into the key slot, and then it can start the engine.
