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 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 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

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. Lock all doors. The doors
can be locked with the key, power door
lock switch (if the door is opened, locked
and then closed), or with the key fob.
Key fob operation:
• Press the
button on the key fob. All
doors lock. The hazard lights flash twice
and the horn beeps once to indicate all
doors are locked.
• When the
button is pressed with all
doors locked, the hazard lights flash twice
and the horn beeps once as a reminder
that the doors are already locked.
The horn may or may not beep.
4. Confirm that the
indicator light
comes on. Theindicator light
stays on for about 30 seconds. The ve-
hicle security system is now pre-armed.
Af ter about 30 seconds the vehicle se-
curity system automatically shif ts into
the armed phase. The
indicator
light begins to flash once every 3 sec-
onds. If, during the 30-second pre-arm
time period, the driver's door is unlocked
by the key or the key fob or the ignition
switch is placed in 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 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 af ter a period of time. However, the alarm reacti-
vates if the vehicle is tampered with
again. The alarm can be shut off by un-
locking the driver's door with the key or
by pressing the
button on the key
fob.
Instruments and controls2-35

The alarm is activated by:
• Opening a door without using the key orkey fob (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 driv-
er's door with the key or by pressing the
button on the key fob.
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 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 de-
vice (which may have caused the inter-
ference) separate from the registered
key.
If the no start condition re-occurs, NISSAN
recommends placing the registered key on
a separate key ring to avoid interference
from other devices.
