PREFERRED SETTINGS ARE MEMORIZED AS FOLLOWS:

1 – Turn the ignition switch ON.

2 – Adjust the Driver Preferred Settings as desired.

3 – Turn the ignition switch OFF.

• When the ignition switch is turned OFF, the settings/positions for all of the driver preferred settings are automatically memorized.

• Up to four Intelligent Keys can have separate memorized settings by following the steps above.

 

USING AN INTELLIGENT KEY WITH “KEY-LINKED SETTINGS” TURNED ON:

• When returning to the vehicle, press the unlock button on the Intelligent Key. The memorized settings will return to the settings/positions that were memorized when the ignition was turned OFF with that key.

• When the engine is started, the detected Intelligent Key (1, 2, 3 or 4) will display on the vehicle information display.

• If any of the settings are changed after turning the ignition ON, the new settings will be memorized when the ignition is turned OFF.

• In the event that two Intelligent Keys are in the vehicle, the system will recognize the Intelligent Key that was used most recently, such as the one detected by the outside antenna to unlock the door.

• If the system detects an undesired Intelligent Key or the driver wants to change to another Intelligent Key while in the vehicle, the user must initiate communication from the desired Intelligent Key as follows:

 

1 – Turn the ignition OFF.

2 – Press the lock or unlock button on the desired Intelligent Key, and restart the engine.

3 – The detected Intelligent Key number will appear on the vehicle information display.

NOTES: 

• For the 2015 Murano and 2016 Maxima, the Intelligent Keys do not link to the Automatic Drive Positioner (ADP) via the SET switch on the driver’s door (if so equipped). Instead, use “Key-Linked Settings” for memorizing the driver’s seat position, mirror position and steering wheel position to an Intelligent Key.

• The two ADP switches on the driver’s door (if so equipped) operate independently of the Intelligent Keys, providing up to six memorized drive positions; two door switches and up to four Intelligent Keys with the Key-Linked Settings.
