Important Key Code Information

The lock code for this Nissan/Datsun series is typically NOT stamped on the face of the lock cylinder where it can be easily viewed. In most cases, the lock code is located on the side of the ignition cylinder or on the side of the door or trunk lock cylinder after the lock has been removed from the vehicle.

Because the code location is concealed during normal vehicle operation, most vehicle owners cannot locate the key code themselves unless they have one of the following:

• The original key with the code recorded
• Factory key records
• Vehicle ownership documentation containing the key code
• Access to a Nissan dealership that can retrieve the key information
• Assistance from a professional automotive locksmith

For most customers, obtaining the key code directly from the vehicle requires lock removal and is generally not practical.

If you do not have a working key or a known key code, we recommend contacting a qualified automotive locksmith or dealership for assistance.

Please verify your key code before ordering. Replacement keys cut by code are custom-made and require an accurate key code for proper operation.
