detection-type system that activates
when a vehicle is moved or when a vibra-
tion occurs.
The system helps deter vehicle thef t but
cannot prevent it, nor can it prevent the
thef t of interior or exterior vehicle compo-
nents in all situations. Always secure your
vehicle even if parking for a brief period.
Never leave your keys in the ignition, and
always lock the vehicle when unattended.
Be aware of your surroundings, and park in
secure, well-lit areas whenever possible.
Many devices offering additional protec-
tion, such as component locks, identifica-
tion markers, and tracking systems, are
available at auto supply stores and spe-
cialty shops. A NISSAN dealer may also offer
such equipment. Check with your insur-
ance company to see if you may be eligible
for discounts for various thef t protection
features.
How to arm the vehicle security
system
1. Close all windows.(The system can be
armed even if the windows are open.)
2. Remove the key from the ignition switch. 3. Close all doors. Lock all doors. The
doors can be locked with the key,
power door lock switch (if the door is
opened, locked and then closed), or
with the key fob.
Key fob operation:
∙ Press the
button on the key
fob. All doors lock. The hazard lights
flash twice and the horn beeps once
to indicate all doors are locked.
∙ When the
button is pressed
with all doors locked, the hazard
lights flash twice and the horn beeps
once as a reminder that the doors
are already locked.
The horn may or may not beep. For
additional information, refer to “Silenc-
ing the horn beep feature” in the “Pre-
driving checks and adjustments” sec-
tion of this manual.
4. Confirm that the
indicator light
comes on. The
indicator light
stays on for about 30 seconds. The ve-
hicle security system is now pre-
armed. Af ter about 30 seconds the ve-
hicle security system automatically
shif ts into the armed phase. The
indicator light begins to flash once ev- ery 3 seconds. If, during the 30-second
pre-arm time period, the driver’s door
is unlocked by the key or the key fob or
the ignition switch is placed in ACC or
ON position, the system will not arm.
∙ If the key is turned slowly when lock-
ing the driver’s door, the system may
not arm. Furthermore, if the key is
turned beyond the vertical position
toward the unlock position the sys-
tem may be disarmed when the key is
removed. If the indicator light fails to
glow for a period of time, unlock the
door once and lock it again.
∙ Even when the driver and/or passen-
gers are in the vehicle, the system will
arm with all doors closed and locked
with the ignition switch placed in the
OFF position.

vated when the moonroof is closed or
tilted down by automatic operation when
the ignition switch is placed in the ON po-
sition or for a period of time af ter the igni-
tion switch is placed in the OFF position.

diately before the closed position which
cannot be detected. Make sure that all
passengers have their hands, etc., in-
side the vehicle before closing the
moonroof.
When closing
If the control unit detects something
caught in the moonroof as it moves to the
front, the moonroof will immediately open

When the doors are locked using one of the
following methods, the doors cannot be
opened using the inside or outside door
handles. The doors must be unlocked to
open the doors.
WARNING
∙ Always have the doors locked whiledriving. Along with the use of seat
belts, this provides greater safety in
the event of an accident by helping to
prevent persons from being thrown
from the vehicle. This also helps keep
children and others from unintention-
ally opening the doors, and will help
keep out intruders.
∙ Before opening any door, always look for and avoid oncoming traffic. ∙ To help avoid risk of injury or death
through unintended operation of the
vehicle and/or its systems, including
entrapment in windows or inadver-
tent door lock activation, do not leave
children, people who require the as-
sistance of others or pets unattended
in your vehicle. Additionally, the tem-
perature inside a closed vehicle on a
warm day can quickly become high
enough to cause a significant risk of
injury or death to people and pets.

WARNING
∙ Do not adjust the steering wheel while driving. You could lose control of your
vehicle and cause an accident. ∙ Do not adjust the steering wheel any
closer to you than is necessary for
proper steering operation and com-
fort. The driver’s air bag inflates with
great force. If you are unrestrained,
leaning forward, sitting sideways or
out of position in any way, you are at
greater risk of injury or death in a
crash. You may also receive serious or
fatal injuries from the air bag if you
are up against it when it inflates. Al-
ways sit back against the seatback
and as far away as practical from the
steering wheel. Always use the seat
belts.
Pull the lock lever toward the driver and
hold it to adjust the steering wheel up or
down to the desired position.
Release the lock lever to lock the steering
wheel in place.
