soon as possible if the warning sound is heard.
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.
VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEMThe vehicle security system provides visual and
audible alarm signals if someone opens the
doors or rear hatch/trunk lid when the system is
armed. It is not, however, a motion detection
type system that activates when a vehicle ismoved or when a vibration occurs.
The system helps deter vehicle theft but cannot
prevent it, nor can it prevent the theft of interior
or exterior vehicle components in all situations.
Always secure your vehicle even if parking for a
brief period. Never leave your keys in the vehicle,
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 sup-
ply 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 fea-
tures.

is in the LOCK, OFF or ACC position. This is
normal.
How to arm 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 rear hatch/trunk
lid.
Lock all doors by using the key or the keyfob.
When using the keyfob, the hazard indicators
flash twice to indicate all doors are locked.
4. Confirm that the security indicator light
comes on. The security indicator 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 rear hatch/trunk lid
locked and ignition key off. Turn the igni-
tion key to ACC to turn the system off.
Vehicle security system activationThe security system will give the following alarm:

The headlights blink and the horn sounds
intermittently.

The alarm automatically turns off after ap-
proximately 50 seconds. 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 pushing theUNLOCK
button on the keyfob.
The alarm is activated by:

Opening the door without using the key or
keyfob.

Opening the rear hatch or the trunk lid with-
out using the keyfob.
How to stop an activated alarmThe alarm will stop only by unlocking a door with
the key, or by pushing the UNLOCK

ignition key is turned to ACC or ON.
If the system does not operate as de-
scribed above, have it checked by a
NISSAN dealer.

allow the engine to start without the use of the
registered key.

(for example, when interference is caused by
another registered key, an automated toll road
device or automated payment device on the key
ring), restart the engine using the following
procedures:

ing the windows. Use the window
lock switch to prevent unexpected
use of the power windows.

Do not leave children unattended in-
side the vehicle. They could unknow-
ingly activate switches or controls
and become trapped in a window.
Unattended children could become
involved in serious accidents.
The power windows operate when the ignition
key is in the ON position and for about 45
seconds, after the ignition key is turned to the
OFF position. If the driver’s door or the front
passenger’s door is opened during this period of
about 45 seconds, power to the windows is
canceled.
The power window switches will be deactivated
during the soft top operation. (Roadster models)

WARNING

Always have the doors locked while
driving. 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 uninten-
tionally opening the doors, and will
help keep out intruders.

Before opening any door, always
look for and avoid oncoming traffic.

Do not leave children unattended in-
side the vehicle. They could unknow-
ingly activate switches or controls.
Unattended children could become
involved in serious accidents.

rear hatch/trunk lid.

Turning the driver’s door key one time to the
front of the vehicle

door and rear hatch/trunk lid. From that po-
sition, returning the key to neutral (where the
key can only be removed and inserted) and
turning it to the front again within 5 secondswill unlock the passenger’s door.
Opening and closing windowsTurn the driver’s door key towards the front of
the vehicle (UNLOCK position) and hold for
