NISSAN 2009 Pathfinder - Manual (Page 137)

Never leave these keys in the vehicle.
As many as 4 Intelligent Keys can be registered
and used with one vehicle. The new keys must be
registered by a NISSAN dealer prior to use with
the Intelligent Key and NISSAN Vehicle Immobi-
lizer System of your vehicle. Since the registra-
tion process requires erasing all memory in the
Intelligent Key components when registering new
keys, be sure to take all Intelligent Keys that you
have to the NISSAN dealer.
CAUTION
● Do not allow the Intelligent Key, which
contains electrical components, to
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 place the Intelligent Key for an
extended period in an area where tem-
peratures exceed 140°F (60°C).

equipment that produces a magnetic
field, such as a TV, audio equipment and
personal computers.

which can be used in case of a discharged bat-
tery.
