Step by step.
- 01
Use the steering-wheel scroll dial to open Settings in the vehicle information display.
- 02
Open Vehicle Settings and enable Walk Away Lock.
- 03
In the same menu, enable Approach Unlock; Nissan notes this setting is off by default.
- 04
Close every door and the liftgate, switch the engine off and walk away with the Intelligent Key; confirm the hazard lights flash twice when the vehicle locks.
- 05
Return with the key and verify the doors unlock as you enter the approach detection area.
Important limits
- Approach Unlock cannot be used at the same time as the selective-unlock setting described in the manual.
- Detection ranges are approximate and radio interference, key position or a weak key battery can change operation.
- Approach Unlock can stop operating after the vehicle has remained locked for eight days or after locking with an interior power-lock switch.
Quick checks.
- ✓If Walk Away Lock does not run, close every door and the liftgate, switch the engine off and make sure no Intelligent Key was left inside.
- ✓If Approach Unlock is unavailable, check that selective unlock is not enabled and unlock the vehicle once with the key or door request switch to reset the inactive state.
- ✓If behavior is inconsistent, move the Intelligent Key away from phones, metal objects and other radio transmitters and replace a weak key battery.
