WARNING
● Never remove or turn the key to the

ing wheel will lock (for models with a

cause the driver to lose control of the
vehicle and could result in serious ve-
hicle damage or personal injury.
● Never place the ignition switch in the
LOCK position while driving. The steer-
ing wheel will lock (for models with a
steering lock mechanism). This may
cause the driver to lose control of the

hicle damage or personal injury.
NISSAN INTELLIGENT KEY™ (if so
equipped)
The ignition lock is designed so that the ignition
switch cannot be turned to LOCK until the shift
selector is moved to the P (Park) position.
When turning the ignition switch, make sure the
shift selector is in the P (Park) position.
If the shift selector is not returned to the P (Park)
position, the ignition switch cannot be moved
toward LOCK.
When the ignition switch cannot be turned to-
ward the LOCK position when the Intelligent Key
is in range, proceed as follows:
1. Move the shift selector into the P (Park)
position.
2. Turn the ignition switch slightly in the ON
direction.
3. Turn the switch toward the LOCK position.
The shift selector can be moved from the P
(Park) position if the ignition switch is in
the ON position and the foot brake pedal is
depressed.
There is an OFF position in between LOCK and
ACC, although it does not show on the ignition
switch. When the ignition switch is OFF, the
steering wheel is not locked (for models with a
steering wheel lock mechanism).
In order for the steering wheel to be locked, it
must be turned about 1/6 of a turn counterclock-
wise from the straight up position.
To lock the steering wheel, turn the ignition
switch to the LOCK position. To unlock the
steering wheel, push the ignition switch in
and turn it gently while rotating the steer-
ing wheel slightly right and left.
If the battery of the vehicle equipped with
the Intelligent Key system is discharged,
the ignition switch cannot be turned from
the LOCK position, even using the me-
chanical key.
