Lockout protection

The Nissan Armada is equipped with a lockout protection system designed to prevent the Intelligent Key from being accidentally locked inside the vehicle.

If a door is open, the doors are locked, and the Intelligent Key is detected inside, the Nissan Armada will automatically unlock the doors and emit a warning chime.

NOTE:

The Nissan Armada doors may not lock properly if the Intelligent Key is held in the same hand that operates the door handle request switch. Place the key in another hand, pocket, or bag.

CAUTION

The Nissan Armada lockout protection system may not function correctly under certain conditions:

• If the Intelligent Key is placed on the dashboard.
• If the Intelligent Key is inside the glove compartment.
• If the Intelligent Key is stored in door pockets.
• If the Intelligent Key is located near metallic objects or materials.

Automatic door locks

• In the Nissan Armada, all doors automatically lock when the vehicle reaches approximately 15 MPH (24 km/h).
• All doors will automatically unlock when the ignition is switched OFF or when the gear selector is shifted to the P (Park) position, depending on system settings.

NOTE:

The Nissan Armada automatic door unlock function can be customized through the "Vehicle Settings" menu in the vehicle information display.

Child safety rear door lock

The Nissan Armada child safety rear door lock system is designed to prevent rear doors from being opened from the inside, providing additional safety for children.

When the lever is set to the lock position 1, rear doors can only be opened from outside the Nissan Armada.

To deactivate this function, move the lever to the unlock position 2.

This feature enhances safety and gives Nissan Armada drivers greater peace of mind when traveling with passengers in the rear seats.
