Nissan Altima (2024 year). Manual in english

1. Type-C USB

2. Type-A USB

There are USB charging ports located in
the rear seat area on the back of the center
console. These ports will charge compat-
ible devices.

NOTE:
• Not all of the USB charging ports will

operate with the display screen. Only
the USB connection ports located un-
der the climate controls will allow op-
eration of USB devices through the au-
dio system.

• For best results, it is recommended to

use the manufacturer cables, which
are sold separately. A USB Type-C to
USB Type-A adapter (or vice versa) can
also be purchased separately; how-
ever, results may vary.

CAUTION

•

Do not force a USB device into the
connector. Inserting the USB device
tilted or up-side down into the con-
nector may damage the connector.
Make sure that the USB device is con-
nected correctly into the connector.

cessories may adversely affect charging,
remove them before wireless charging.
Turn off the vibration function of the smart-
phone before wireless charging.

NOTE:

•

Only a Qi compatible smartphone can
be used.

•

The smartphone may be warmed dur-
ing charging process and the charging
may stop by the protection function of
the wireless charger. This is not a mal-
function. If this occurs, restart charging
after

the

smartphone

has

cooled

down. The indicator will blink in orange
then turn off.

•

The wireless charging process may be
stopped by the status of the smart-
phone (battery temperature, etc.).

•

If a radio noise interference occurs dur-
ing charging process, put the smart-
phone onto the center (“Qi” logo) posi-
tion of the wireless charger.

•

The wireless charging process will stop
during process of searching the Intelli-
gent Key.

•

The wireless charging process will not

The Rear Door Alert system functions un-
der certain conditions to indicate there
may be an object or passenger in the rear
seat(s). Check the seat(s) before exiting the
vehicle.

The Rear Door Alert system is initially dis-
abled. The driver can enable the system
using the vehicle information display. For
additional information, see “Vehicle infor-
mation display warnings and indicators”
(P. 2-32 or 2-52).

When the system is enabled:
• The system is activated when a rear door

is opened and closed within 10 minutes of
the vehicle being driven. When the driver
door is closed and the system is acti-
vated, a visual message appears in the
vehicle information display. For additional
information, see “Rear Door Alert is acti-
vated (P. 2-33 or 2-52)

• If a rear door is opened and closed but

the vehicle is not driven within approxi-
mately 10 minutes, the system will not be
activated. A rear door must be opened
and closed and the car driven within 10
minutes for the system to activate.

REAR DOOR ALERT

2-78

Instruments and controls

When the Rear Door Alert system is acti-
vated:
• When the driver puts the vehicle in the P

(Park) position, a notification message
appears in the vehicle information dis-
play with the options to “Dismiss Mes-
sage” or “Disable Alert” if desired.

• Select “Disable Alert” to temporarily

disable for that stop.

• No selection or ‘Dismiss Message” will

keep the alert enabled for that stop.

• If the alert is enabled when a driver exits

the vehicle, a message will appear in the
vehicle information display that states
“Check Rear Seat For All Articles.”

If “Horn & Alert” setting is selected:

• An audible horn sound will occur after

a short time unless a rear door is
opened and closed within a short time
to deactivate the alert.

• If the doors are locked before the alert

is deactivated by opening a rear door,
the horn will sound.

• If the trunk is opened before a rear

door is opened, the horn will be de-
layed until after the trunk is closed.

NOTE:

If “Alert Only” setting is selected, the
message alert will still be shown in the
vehicle information display but the horn
will not sound.

WARNING

•

If the driver selects “Disable Alert”, no
audible alert will be provided regard-
less of rear door open/close status.

•

There may be times when there is an
object or passenger in the rear
seat(s) but the audible alert does not
sound. For example, this may occur if
rear seat passengers enter or exit the
vehicle during a trip.

•

The system does not directly detect
objects or passengers in the rear
seat(s). Instead, it can detect when a
rear door is opened and closed, indi-
cating that there may be something
in the rear seat(s).

NOTE:

There may be times when the horn
sounds but there are no objects or pas-
sengers in the rear seat(s).

The HomeLink® Universal Transceiver pro-
vides a convenient way to consolidate the
functions of up to three individual hand-
held transmitters into one built-in device.

HomeLink® Universal Transceiver:
• Will operate most radio frequency de-

vices such as garage doors, gates, home
and office lighting, entry door locks and
security systems.

• Is powered by your vehicle's battery. No

separate batteries are required. If the
vehicle's battery is discharged or is dis-
connected, HomeLink® will retain all
programming.

When the HomeLink® Universal Trans-
ceiver is programmed, retain the origi-
nal transmitter for future programming
procedures (Example: new vehicle pur-
chases). Upon sale of the vehicle, the
programmed

HomeLink®

Universal

Transceiver buttons should be erased for
security purposes. For additional infor-
mation, see “Programming HomeLink®”
(P. 2-91).

WARNING

•

Your vehicle's engine should be
turned off while programming the
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver. For
additional information, see “Push-
button ignition switch” (P. 5-12). Do
not breathe exhaust gases; they con-
tain colorless and odorless carbon
monoxide. Carbon monoxide is dan-
gerous. It can cause unconscious-
ness or death.

•

Do not use the HomeLink® Universal
Transceiver with any garage door
opener that lacks safety stop and re-
verse features as required by federal
safety standards. (These standards
became effective for opener models
manufactured after April 1, 1982.) A
garage door opener which cannot
detect an object in the path of a clos-
ing garage door and then automati-
cally stop and reverse does not meet
current federal safety standards. Us-
ing a garage door opener without
these features increases the risk of
serious injury or death.

•

During the programming procedure
your garage door or security gate will
open and close (if the transmitter is
within range). Make sure that people
or objects are clear of the garage
door,

gate,

etc.,

that

you

are

programming.

PROGRAMMING HOMELINK®

If you have any questions or are having
difficulty programming your HomeLink®
buttons, refer to the HomeLink® web site at:

NOTE:

Place the ignition switch in the ON posi-
tion (without starting the engine) when
programming HomeLink®. It is also rec-
ommended that a new battery be placed
in the hand-held transmitter of the de-
vice being programmed to HomeLink®

PROGRAMMING HOMELINK® FOR
CANADIAN CUSTOMERS AND GATE
OPENERS

Canadian radio-frequency laws require
transmitter signals to “time-out” (or quit)
after several seconds of transmission –
which may not be long enough for
HomeLink® to pick up the signal during
training. Similar to this Canadian law, some
U.S. gate operators are designed to “tim-
eout” in the same manner.

If you live in Canada or you are having diffi-
culties training a gate operator

garage

door opener by using the “Training” proce-
dures,

replace

“Programming HomeLink®”

step 2

with the following:

NOTE:

When

programming

garage

door

opener, etc., unplug the device during
the “cycling” process to prevent possible
damage to the garage door opener
components.

1. For additional information, see “Pro-

gramming HomeLink®” step 1, (P. 2-91).

2. Using both hands, simultaneously press

and hold the desired HomeLink® button
and the hand-held transmitter button.
During training, your hand-held trans-
mitter may automatically stop transmit-
ting. Continue to press and hold the de-
sired HomeLink® button while you press
and re-press (“cycle”) your hand-held
transmitter every 2 seconds until the
frequency signal has been learned. The
HomeLink® indicator light will flash
slowly and then rapidly after several

NISSAN INTELLIGENT KEY®

Your vehicle can only be driven with the
Intelligent Keys which are registered to
your vehicle’s Intelligent Key system com-
ponents and NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer
System components.

Never leave these keys in the vehicle.

As many as four Intelligent Keys can be
registered and used with one vehicle. The
new keys must be registered prior to use
with the Intelligent Key system and NISSAN
Vehicle Immobilizer System of your vehicle.
It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service. Since the registra-
tion process requires erasing all memory in
the Intelligent Key components when reg-
istering new keys, be sure to take all Intelli-
gent Keys that you have to the NISSAN
dealer.

A key number plate is supplied with your
keys. Record the key number and keep it in
a safe place (such as your wallet), not in the
vehicle. If you lose your keys, it is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for
duplicates by using the key number.
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, it can
be duplicated without knowing the key
number.

CAUTION

Listed below are conditions or occur-
rences which will damage the Intelli-
gent Key:

•

Do not allow the Intelligent Key,
which contains electrical compo-
nents, to come into contact with wa-
ter 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 change or modify the Intelli-
gent Key.

•

Wetting may damage the Intelligent
Key. If the Intelligent Key gets wet,
immediately wipe until it is com-
pletely dry.

•

Do not place the Intelligent Key for an
extended period in an area where
temperatures exceed 140°F (60°C).

•

Do not attach the Intelligent Key with
a key holder that contains a magnet.

•

Do not place the Intelligent Key near
equipment that produces a magnetic
field, such as a TV, audio equipment
and personal computers.

Pre-driving checks and adjustments

If an Intelligent Key is lost or stolen, NISSAN
recommends erasing the ID code of that
Intelligent Key from the vehicle. This may
prevent the unauthorized use of the Intelli-
gent Key to operate the vehicle. For infor-
mation regarding the erasing procedure, it
is recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer.

Mechanical key

The Intelligent Key contains the mechani-
cal key.

To remove the mechanical key, release the
lock knob on the back of the Intelligent Key.

To install the mechanical key, firmly insert it
into the Intelligent Key until the lock knob
returns to the lock position.

Use the mechanical key to lock or unlock
the doors.

For additional information, see “Doors”
(P. 3-4).

CAUTION

Always carry the mechanical key in-
stalled in the Intelligent Key slot.

NISSAN VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER
SYSTEM KEYS

Additional or replacement keys:

If you still have a key, the key number is not
necessary when you need extra NISSAN
Vehicle Immobilizer System keys. Your ex-
isting key can be duplicated without know-
ing the key number. As many as four
NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System keys
can be used with one vehicle. You should
bring all NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer Sys-
tem keys that you have to the NISSAN
dealer for registration. This is because the
registration process will erase the memory
of all key codes previously registered into
the NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System. Af-
ter the registration process, these compo-
nents will only recognize keys coded into
the NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System
during registration. Any virtual key acces-
sories (if so equipped) will also have to be
reregistered. Any key that is not given to the
dealer at the time of registration will no
longer be able to start your vehicle.

CAUTION

Do not allow the immobilizer system
key, which contains an electrical tran-
sponder, to come into contact with wa-
ter or salt water. This could affect sys-
tem function.

When the doors are locked using one of the
following methods, the doors cannot be
opened using the inside or outside door
handles. The doors must be unlocked to
open the doors.

WARNING

•

Always have the doors locked while
driving. Along with the use of seat
belts, this provides greater safety in
the event of an accident by helping to
prevent persons from being thrown
from the vehicle. This also helps keep
children and others from uninten-
tionally opening the doors, and will
help keep out intruders.

•

Before opening any door, always look
for and avoid oncoming traffic.

•

To help avoid risk of injury or death
through unintended operation of the
vehicle and/or its systems, including
entrapment in windows and/or inad-
vertent door lock activation, do not
leave children, people who require the
assistance of others and/or pets unat-
tended in your vehicle. Additionally, the
temperature inside a closed vehicle on
a warm day can quickly become high
enough to cause a significant risk of
injury or death to people and pets.

LOCKING WITH KEY

To lock the door using the mechanical key,
turn the key toward the rear of the vehicle

. This will only lock the corresponding

door and will not activate the security sys-
tem. To arm the security system, press the

button on the Intelligent Key.

To unlock the corresponding door using
the mechanical key, turn the key toward
the front of the vehicle

. This will only

unlock the corresponding door and will not
disarm the security system.

For additional information, see “Security
systems” (P. 2-60).

NISSAN INTELLIGENT KEY® SYSTEM

3-6

Pre-driving checks and adjustments

The Intelligent Key is always communicat-
ing with the vehicle as it receives radio
waves. The Intelligent Key transmits weak
radio waves. Environmental conditions
may interfere with the operation of the In-
telligent Key under the following operating
conditions:
• When operating near a location where

strong radio waves are transmitted, such
as a TV tower, power station and broad-
casting station.

• When in possession of wireless equip-

ment, such as a cellular telephone, trans-
ceiver or a CB radio.

• When the Intelligent Key is in contact with

or covered by metallic materials.

• When any type of radio wave remote con-

trol is used nearby.

• When the Intelligent Key is placed near an

electric appliance such as a personal
computer.

• When the vehicle is parked near a parking

meter.

In such cases, correct the operating condi-
tions before using the Intelligent Key func-
tion or use the mechanical key.

Although the life of the battery varies de-
pending on the operating conditions, the
battery’s life is approximately two years. If
the battery is discharged, replace it with a
new one.

When the Intelligent Key battery is low, an
indicator illuminates in the vehicle informa-
tion display. For additional information, see
“Vehicle information display - 5 inch (13 cm)
Type A (if so equipped)” (P. 2-20) or “Vehicle
information display - 7 inch (18 cm) Type B (if
so equipped)” (P. 2-39).

Since the Intelligent Key is continuously re-
ceiving radio waves, if the key is left near
equipment which transmits strong radio
waves, such as signals from a TV and per-
sonal computer, the battery life may be-
come shorter.

For additional information, see “Battery re-
placement” (P. 8-24).

As many as four Intelligent Keys can be
registered and used with one vehicle. For
information about the purchase and use of
additional Intelligent Keys, it is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer.
