alarm NISSAN SENTRA 2015 B17 / 7.G Owners Manual

Your vehicle may have two types of security sys-
tems:● Vehicle security system (if so equipped)
● NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System
VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM (if so
equipped)
The vehicle security system provides visual and
audible alarm signals if someone opens the doors
when the system is armed. It is not, however, a
motion detection type system that activates when
a vehicle is moved or when a vibration occurs. The system helps detect vehicle theft but cannot
prevent it, nor can it prevent the theft of interior or
exterior vehicle components in all situations. Al-
ways 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 protection, such
as component locks, identification markers, and
tracking systems, are available at auto supply
stores and specialty shops. A NISSAN dealer
may also offer such equipment. Check with your
insurance company to see if you may be eligible
for discounts for various theft 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. Place the ignition switch in the LOCK posi- tion and remove the key.
3. Close all doors. Lock all doors. The doors can be locked with:
● the power door lock switch (if the door is
opened, locked and then closed) .
● the key — master or mechanical (Intelli-
gent Key models) . ●
any request switch (Intelligent Key mod-
els) .
● the key fob or Intelligent Key.
Key fob and Intelligent Key operation:
● Push the
button. All doors lock.
The hazard lights flash twice and the horn
beeps once to indicate all doors are
locked.
● When the
button is pushed with
all doors locked, the hazard lights flash
twice and the horn beeps once as a re-
minder that the doors are already locked.
The horn may or may not beep. Refer to
“Silencing the horn beep feature” in the
“Pre-driving checks and adjustments” sec-
tion in this manual.
4. Confirm that the
indicator light comes
on. The
light stays on for about
30 seconds. The vehicle security system is
now pre-armed. After about 30 seconds the
vehicle security system automatically shifts
into the armed phase. The
light begins
to flash once every 3 seconds. If, during the
30-second pre-arm time period, the driver’s
door is unlocked by the key, a request
switch, the key fob or Intelligent Key, or if the
LIC0301
SECURITY SYSTEMS
Instruments and controls2-23

ignition switch is placed in the ACC or ON
position, the system will not arm.
● If the key is turned slowly when locking
the driver’s door, the system may not
arm. Furthermore, if the key is turned
beyond the vertical position toward the
unlock position to remove the key, the
system 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.
Vehicle security system activation
The vehicle security system will give the following
alarm:
● The headlights blink and the horn sounds
intermittently. ●
The alarm automatically turns off after a pe-
riod of time. However, the alarm reactivates if
the vehicle is tampered with again. The alarm
can be shut off by unlocking the driver’s door
with the key, a request switch, by pressing
the
button on the key fob or Intelligent
Key or placing the ignition switch in the ON
or ACC position.
The alarm is activated by:
● opening a door without using the key, a
request switch, key fob or Intelligent Key
(even if the door is unlocked by using the
inside lock knob or the power door lock
switch) .
How to stop an activated alarm
The alarm stops only by unlocking the driver’s
door by pressing the
button on the key fob
or Intelligent Key, or by unlocking all doors with
any request switch (Intelligent Key models) or
placing the ignition switch in the ON or ACC
position.
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 automated toll road
device or automatic payment device on the key
ring) , restart the engine using the following pro-
cedures:
1. Leave the ignition switch placed in the ON position 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 device (which may have caused the interference)
separate from the registered key.
If the no start condition re-occurs, NISSAN rec-
ommends placing the registered key on a sepa-
rate key ring to avoid interference from other
devices.

WARNING
●Radio waves could adversely affect
electric medical equipment. Those who
use a pacemaker should contact the
electric medical equipment manufac-
turer for the possible influences before
use.
● The remote keyless entry key fob trans-
mits radio waves when the buttons are
pressed. The FAA advises radio waves
may affect aircraft navigation and com-
munication systems. Do not operate the
remote keyless entry key fob while on
an airplane. Make sure the buttons are
not operated unintentionally when the
unit is stored for a flight.
It is possible to lock/unlock all doors, turn the
interior lights on, and activate the panic alarm by
using the key fob from outside the vehicle.
Be sure to remove the key from the vehicle
before locking the doors.
The key fob can operate at a distance of approxi-
mately 33 ft (10 m) from the vehicle. The effective
distance depends on the conditions around the
vehicle. As many as four key fobs can be used with one
vehicle. For information concerning the purchase
and use of additional key fobs, contact a NISSAN
dealer.
The key fob will not function when:
● the battery is discharged
● the distance between the vehicle and the
key fob is over 33 ft (10 m)
The panic alarm will not activate when the
key is in the ignition switch.
CAUTION
Listed below are conditions or occur-
rences which will damage the key fob:
● Do not allow the key fob, which con-
tains electrical components, to come
into contact with water or salt water.
This could affect the system function.
● Do not drop the key fob.
● Do not strike the key fob sharply
against another object.
● Do not change or modify the key fob.
● Wetting may damage the key fob. If the
key fob gets wet, immediately wipe until
it is completely dry. ●
Do not place the key fob for an ex-
tended period in an area where tem-
peratures exceed 140°F (60°C) .
● Do not attach the key fob with a key
holder that contains a magnet.
● Do not place the key fob near equip-
ment that produces a magnetic field,
such as a TV, audio equipment and per-
sonal computers.
If a key fob is lost or stolen, NISSAN rec-
ommends erasing the ID code of that key
fob. This will prevent the key fob from
unauthorized use to unlock the vehicle.
For information regarding the erasing
procedure, please contact a NISSAN
dealer.
