HEADLIGHT AIMING CONTROL
SWITCH
Note that the above illustration is for LHD models.
Depending on the number of occupants in the ve-
hicle and the load it is carrying, the headlight axis
may be higher than desired. If the vehicle is travel-
ling on a hilly road, the headlights may directly hit the
rear-view mirror of the vehicle ahead or the wind-
screen of an oncoming vehicle. The light axis can be
lowered using the switch located on the driver’s
side of the instrument panel, next to the steering
wheel.
The higher the number designated on the switch,
the lower the axis.
When travelling with no heavy load on a flat road,
select position 0.

KEYFOB OPERATION FAILURE
The keyfob may not work properly in several situa-
tions as listed below:
•When the keyfob battery is dead.
•When the locking/unlocking system is used con-
tinuously, an anti lock-abuse system prevents the
lock motors from overheating and disables the
keyfob locking operation for a short period of
time.
•When the door handle is pulled while the keyfob
is being activated.

•When the power door lock switch is moved to
the lock positionj1 while the driver’s door is
open and the integrated Intelligent Keyfob
(where fitted) is left inside the vehicle, all
doors unlock as the driver’s door is closed
and the buzzer sounds (central door lock

WARNING
•Do not drive with the back door opened. This
could allow dangerous exhaust gases to be
drawn into the vehicle.
•Closely supervise children when they are
around the vehicle to prevent them from play-
ing and being locked in the luggage compart-
ment where they could be seriously injured.
Keep the vehicle locked, with the back door
closed, when not in use, and prevent chil-
dren’s access to the vehicle’s keys.
NISSAN ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM (NATS)
The NISSAN Anti-Theft System (NATS)* will not
allow the engine to start without the use of the reg-
istered NATS key.
* Immobilizer
If the engine fails to start using the registered NATS
key, it may be due to interference from another
NATS key, an automated toll road device or an auto-
mated payment device on the key ring. Restart the
engine using the following procedure:
1. Leave the ignition switch in the ON position for
approximately 5 seconds.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the “OFF” or LOCK
position and wait approximately 5 seconds.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2.
4. Restart the engine while holding the device
(which may have caused the interference) sepa-
rated from the registered NATS key or NATS
Intelligent Key (where fitted).
If this procedure allows the engine to start,
NISSAN recommends placing the registered
NATS key or NATS Intelligent Key (where fitted)
on a separate key-ring to avoid interference from
other devices.
NATS security warning light
The security warning light blinks whenever the igni-
tion switch is in the LOCK, “OFF” or Acc position.
This function indicates that NATS is equipped on
the vehicle.
If the NISSAN Anti-Theft System (NATS) is mal-
functioning, this light will remain on while the ignition
key is in the ON position.
If the light remains on and/or the engine will not
start, see your NISSAN dealer for NATS service
as soon as possible. Please bring all NATS keys
or NATS Intelligent Keys when visiting your
NISSAN dealer for service.
Additional information for RHD models
If the NATS is malfunctioning, this light will turn on
after flashing six times while the ignition switch is in
the ON position.
However, if the NATS security warning light turns
off after the light has remained on for 15 minutes,
