KEY DOOR LOCKS APD0512 PD1305 APD0520 The master key can be used for all the locks. A key number plate is supplied with your key. Record the key number on the key number plate and keep it in a safe place (such as your wallet), NOT IN THE CAR. NISSAN does not record key numbers so it is very important to keep track of your key number plate. A key number is only necessary when you have lost all keys and do not have one to duplicate from. If you still have a key, this key can be duplicated by your NISSAN dealer or a locksmith shop. MANUAL DOOR LOCK To lock the front doors from the outside, turn the key toward the front of the vehicle. To unlock, turn it toward the rear. To lock a door from inside the vehicle, press the lock lever (located above the door handle) until it is flush with the door panel. To unlock, pull the lock lever to its outer position. 2-2
