WARNING
●Always fasten the connector tongue
and the seat belt in the order shown.
● Always make sure both the connector
tongue and the seat belt tongue are
secured when using the seat belt or
installing a child restraint. Do not use
the seat belt or child restraint with only
the seat belt tongue attached. This
could result in serious personal injury in
case of an accident or a sudden stop. Stowing the 3rd row center seat belt
When folding down the 3rd row seat, the 3rd row
center seat belt can be retracted into a stowed
position as follows:
1Hold the connector tongue so that the seat
belt does not retract suddenly when the
tongue is released from the connector
buckle. Release the connector tongue by
inserting a suitable tool such as a key into the
connector buckle
A.
2Retract the seat belt up to the retractor base.
3Insert the seat belt tongue into the fabric
sleeve so it will lay flat. Then secure the
connector tongue into the retractor base.

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
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 deter 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. Your 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 (NISSAN
Intelligent Key models) .
● any request switch (NISSAN Intelligent
Key models) .
● the keyfob or NISSAN Intelligent Key. Keyfob and NISSAN Intelligent Key
opera-
tion:
● 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” section or
“Comfort & Convenience settings” in the
“Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice
recognition systems” section.
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 keyfob or Intelligent Key, or if the
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 or by pressing
the
button on the keyfob or Intelligent
Key. The alarm is activated by:
●
opening a door without using the key, a re-
quest switch, keyfob 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 with the key, pressing the
button on
the keyfob or Intelligent Key, or by unlocking all
doors with any request switch (Intelligent Key
models) .
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 an-
other registered key, an automated toll road de-
vice or automatic payment device on the key ring) ,
restart the engine using the following procedures:
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.
