Nissan warns that U.S. cell phones can disable car keys
May 25, 2007
DETROIT (Reuters) -- Nissan North America has a warning for customers: placing your electronic key too close to your cell phone could leave you stranded.
The automaker is asking customers driving new models of two of its flagship sedans to keep their car keys and cell phones at least an inch apart to avoid disabling the "intelligent keys."
Cell phones kept near Nissan's I-Keys -- wireless devices designed to allow drivers to enter and start their cars at the push of a button -- can erase the electronic code on the keys, rendering them unable to unlock or start the cars.
The problem has occurred on the 2007 Nissan Altima and Infiniti G35 sedans -- two of their top-selling models, the company said on Thursday, May 24. 2007
The Nissan Motor Company Ltd. began as Jidosha Seizo Co., Ltd.
In 1958 Nissan began exporting passenger cars to the U.S.
and two years later the Nissan Motor Corporation U.S.A. was established
In 1981 the brand name on overseas models was changed from Datsun to Nissan
In 1980 Nissan Motor Manufacturing Corporation (NMMC) was established in Smyrna, Tenn.
and produced its one millionth vehicle in 1989
That same year the luxury Infiniti division debuted
In 2001 Nissan had produced more than 60 million vehicles.
