What's the little key for ?

[cerealuk]

When I brought my zed, I got 2 keys.

 

1) A standard fob with the 2 buttons on it which I use every day

 

2) A second smaller key with no buttons on it

 

Just wondering what the smaller key can/can't do ?

 

My worry at the moment is that if I lose my key with the built in fob... am I buggered ?

If your car is a UK car you should have got 3 keys - two standard fobs and the smaller one.

 

The smaller key can be used to lock the doors and open/lock the storage compartment behind the passenger's seat, but it can't be used to deactivate the alarm I think. The manual should explain all that.

The smaller key is a security key and does everything except unlock the storage bin behind the passenger seat - useful if you are leaving the car for valet parking and don't want stuff nicked.

 

You should have two larger keys with fobs on (in case you lose one).

Ah groovy thanks.

 

I only got the 1 proper fob key (have purchased a spare + uncut barrel to get done at nissan when i next have a day off work).

 

So could I use the small key to get into the car and drive it to nissan should I lose the fob key? (where they could hopefully sort me out a new programmed key) or is it then game over ?

The small key should work - why not just try it and see if it starts the car?

Shall try later, can nissan program a new fob to the car if all fobs are missing then ?

Does the valet key limit the revs? I might be thinking of another car though.....

Yep, but be sitting down when they give you the price for a new key

Just to clear this up for me guys/ladies! I never got a red key when I got the car, should I worry? This key does nothing extra? I don't need it should I need to reprogram another one?
