Your vehicle has two types of security systems,
as follows:
Vehicle Security System
Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System
The security condition will be shown by the
security indicator light in the meter panel.VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEMThe vehicle security system provides visual and
audio alarm signals if parts of the vehicle are
disturbed.
How to activate the vehicle security
system1. Close all windows.
The system can be activated even if the
windows are open.
2. Remove the key from the ignition switch.
3. Close and lock all doors and hood.
Lock all doors by pressing the LOCK button
on the keyfobor using the key. When using
the keyfob, the hazard indicators flash twice
to indicate all doors are locked.
4. Confirm that the SECURITY indicator light inthe meter comes on. The SECURITY indica-
tor light glows for about 30 seconds and then
blinks. The system is now activated. If, during
this 30 second time period, the door is
unlocked by the key or the keyfob, or the
ignition key is turned to ACC or ON, the
system will not activate.
Even when the driver and/or passengers
are in the vehicle, the system will activate
with all doors and hood locked and ignition
key off. Turn the ignition key to ACC to turn
the system off.
Vehicle security system operationThe security system will give the following alarm:
The headlights blink and the horn sounds
intermittently.
The alarm automatically turns off after ap-
proximately 1 minute. However, the alarm
reactivates if the vehicle is tampered with
again. The alarm can be shut off by unlocking
a door with the key, or by pressing the
UNLOCK button on the keyfob.
The alarm is activated by:
Opening the door (including the back door)
without using the key or keyfob.
Opening the hood.

XENON HEADLIGHTS (if so
equipped)
WARNINGHIGH VOLTAGE
When xenon headlights are on, they
produce a high voltage. To prevent an
electric shock, never attempt to
modify or disassemble. Always have
your xenon headlights replaced at a
NISSAN dealer.
Xenon headlights provide consider-
ably more light than conventional
headlights. If they are not correctly
aimed, they might temporarily blind
an oncoming driver or the driver
ahead of you and cause a serious
accident. If headlights are not aimed
correctly, immediately take your ve-
hicle to a NISSAN dealer and have
the headlights adjusted correctly.
When the xenon headlight is initially turned on,
its brightness or color varies slightly. However,
the color and brightness will soon stabilize.The life of xenon headlights will be
shortened by frequent on-off operation.
It is generally desirable not to turn off
the headlights for short intervals (for
example, when the vehicle stops at a
traffic signal). Even when the daytime
running lights are active (Canada only),
the xenon headlights do not turn on.
This way the life of the xenon headlights
is not reduced.
If the xenon headlight bulb is close to
burning out, the brightness will drasti-
cally decrease, the light will start blink-
ing, or the color of the light will become
reddish. If one or more of the above
signs appear, contact a NISSAN dealer.
HEADLIGHT SWITCH
Lighting
1Turn the switch to the
position:
The front park, side marker, tail, license plate

Autolight system (if so equipped)The autolight system allows the headlights to be
set so they turn on and off automatically.
To set the autolight system:
1. Make sure the headlight switch is in the
AUTO position.
2. Turn the ignition key to ON.
3. The autolight system automatically turns the
headlights on and off.
To turn the autolight system off, turn the switch
to the OFF,
,or
position.The autolight system can turn on the headlights
automatically when it is dark, turn off the head-
lights when it is light, and keep the headlights on
for up to 45 seconds after you turn the key to
OFF and open any door then close all the doors.
With Navigation system equipped models, the
headlight off time can be adjusted on the system
setting display. See the “4. Display screen,
heater, air conditioner and audio system” sec-
tion.
If the ignition switch is turned OFF and one of
the doors is opened and this condition is con-
tinued, the headlights remain ON for 5 minutes.

Be sure not to put anything on top of the
photo sensor
A
located on the top left-

Battery saver systemWhen the headlight switch is in the
or
position while the ignition switch is in
the ON position, the lights will automatically
turn off 5 minutes after the ignition switch has
been turned to the OFF position.
When the headlight switch remains in theor

matically turn off, the lights will turn on for 5
minutes when the headlight switch is turned
to the OFF position and then turn to the
or
position.CAUTION
Be sure to turn the light switch to the
OFF position when you leave the ve-
hicle for extended periods of time,
otherwise this could result in a dis-
charged battery.
Never leave the light switch on when
the engine is not running for ex-
tended periods of time even if the
headlights turn off automatically.

Headlight aiming control (if so
equipped)Depending on the number of occupants in the
vehicle and the load it is carrying, the headlight
axis may be higher than desired. If the vehicle is
traveling on a hilly road, the headlights may
directly hit the rearview mirror of the vehicle
ahead or the windshield of the oncoming vehicle.
The light axis can be lowered with the operation
of the switch.
The larger the number designated on the switch,
the lower the axis.When traveling with no heavy load or on a flat
road, select position 0.
WARNING
Xenon headlights are extremely bright
compared to conventional headlights. If
the xenon headlights hit the rearview
mirror of the vehicle ahead or the wind-
shield of the oncoming vehicle, the
driver of these vehicles may have diffi-
culty driving because of the brightness.
Use the headlight aiming control switch
to lower the light axis. See earlier in this
section for information on xenon head-
lights.DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT SYSTEM
(CANADA ONLY)The daytime running lights automatically illumi-
nate when the engine is started with parking
brake released. The daytime running lights op-
erate with the headlight switch in the OFF
position or in the
position.
The daytime running lights may come on after
turning the key to the OFF position and immedi-ately turning it to the ON position. This is not a
malfunction.
The daytime running lights will be turned off
when the headlight switch is turned to the AUTO
(only when the headlights are lit) or
posi-
tion or when the fog light is turned on.
The daytime running lights will remain on until
the ignition switch is turned to the ACC or OFF
position.
WARNING
When the daytime running light system
is active, tail lights on your vehicle are
not on. It is necessary at dusk to turn on
your headlights. Failure to do so could
cause an accident injuring yourself and
others.
