Your vehicle has two types of security
systems:
• Vehicle security system
• NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System
VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM
The vehicle security system provides visual
and audible alarm signals if someone
opens the doors, trunk, or hood when the
system is armed. It is not, however, a mo-
tion detection type system that activates
when a vehicle is moved or when a vibra-
tion occurs.
LIC4158LIC2930
SECURITY SYSTEMS
2-40Instruments and controls

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 Intelligent Key in the ve-
hicle, and always lock the vehicle when un-
attended. 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 Intelligent Key from the vehicle. 3. Close all doors, hood and trunk. Lock all
doors. The doors can be locked with the
Intelligent Key or door handle request
switch.
4. Confirm that the
security indicator
light stays on for about 30 seconds. The
vehicle security system is now pre-
armed. The vehicle security system will
automatically shif t into the armed
phase. The
security light begins to
flash once every three seconds. If during
the pre-armed phase one of the follow-
ing occurs, the system will not arm:
• Any door is unlocked with the Intelligent Key or door request switch.
• Ignition switch is placed in ACC or ON position.
• Even when the driver and/or passen-
gers are in the vehicle, the system will
activate with all the doors, hood and
trunk lid locked with the ignition switch
placed in the LOCK position. When plac-
ing the ignition switch in the ACC or ON
position, the system will be released.
Vehicle security system activation
The vehicle security system will give the
following alarm:
• The headlights blink and the horn sounds intermittently but synchronously.
• The alarm automatically turns off af ter a period of time. However, the alarm reacti-
vates if the vehicle is tampered with
again.
The alarm is activated by:
• opening any door or hood without using the Intelligent Key (even if the door is un-
locked by releasing the door inside lock
knob).
How to stop an activated alarm
The alarm stops only by pressing thebutton on the Intelligent Key, or pushing the
request switch on the driver's or passen-
ger's door with the Intelligent Key in range
of the door handle.

NISSAN VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER
SYSTEM
The NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System
will not allow the engine to start without
the use of a registered key.
If the engine fails to start using a registered
key (for example, when interference is
caused by another registered key, an auto-
mated toll road device or automatic pay-
ment device on the key ring), restart the
engine using the following procedures:
1. Leave the ignition switch in the ON posi-tion for approximately 5 seconds.
2. Place the ignition switch in the OFF or LOCK position and wait approximately
10 seconds.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2.
4. Restart the engine while holding the de- vice (which may have caused the inter-
ference) separate from the registered
key.
If the no start condition reoccurs, NISSAN
recommends placing the registered key on
a separate key ring to avoid interference
from other devices.
Never leave these keys in the vehicle. FCC Notice:

The windshield wiper and washer operates
when the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position.
Push the lever down to operate the wiper
at the following speed:
1Intermittent (INT) or (AUTO) — intermit-
tent operation can be adjusted by turn-
ing the knob

operation speed varies in accordance
with the vehicle speed (if so equipped).
(For example, when the vehicle speed is
high, the intermittent operation speed will be faster.) Further, the rain-sensing
auto wiper system (if so equipped) will
adjust the speed of the intermittent
operation. For additional information,
see “Rain-sensing auto wiper system”
(P. 2-44).

washer. The wiper will also operate several
times.
NOTE:
The speed-dependent intermittent (if so
equipped) function may be disabled. For
additional information, see “Vehicle in-

WARNING
In freezing temperatures the washer
solution may freeze on the windshield
and obscure your vision which may
lead to an accident. Warm the wind-
shield with the defroster before you
wash the windshield.
CAUTION
• Do not operate the washer continu-
ously for more than 30 seconds.
• Do not operate the washer if the
windshield-washer fluid reservoir is
empty. •
Do not fill the windshield-washer
fluid reservoir with windshield-
washer fluid concentrates at full
strength. Some methyl alcohol
based windshield-washer fluid con-
centrates may permanently stain the
grille if spilled while filling the
windshield-washer fluid reservoir.
• Pre-mix windshield-washer fluid
concentrates with water to the
manufacturer's recommended lev-
els before pouring the fluid into the
windshield-washer fluid reservoir.
Do not use the windshield-washer
fluid reservoir to mix the windshield-
washer fluid concentrate and water.
NOTE:
If the windshield wiper operation is in-
terrupted by snow or ice, the wiper may
stop moving to protect its motor. If this
occurs, turn the wiper switch to the OFF
position and remove the snow or ice that
is on and around the wiper arms. In ap-
proximately 1 minute, turn the switch on
again to operate the wiper.
RAIN-SENSING AUTO WIPER
SYSTEM (if so equipped)
The rain-sensing auto wiper system can
automatically turn on the wipers and ad-
just the wiper speed depending on the
rainfall by using the rain sensor located on
the upper part of the windshield.
To set the rain-sensing auto wiper system,
push the lever down to the AUTO position
O1. The wiper will sweep once while the
ignition switch is in the ON position.
The rain sensor sensitivity level can be ad-
justed by turning the knob toward the front
O2(High) or toward the rearO3(Low).
